Balance self and connection without losing your spark ~Crystal Wind

This Full Moon is all about our responsibility when it comes to our relationships. We are reminded to balance what is external, creating harmony without sacrificing self. The solution isn’t about “we” or “me.” As humans, we yearn for connection, but being lost and losing your spark is not what relationships are all about. Instead, we are at our best when we can wear two roles, the role of self and the role of partner (please know, I am not saying you have to be in a romantic relationship to be in partnership with others.)

With Saturn, Neptune and the Sun in Aries, there is an emphasis on recalibration. Some of us may be rediscovering who we are, finding our sense of purpose and learning to be our own savior. These are activities that need to happen, but this Full Moon reminds us of the importance of our relationships. Life is a balancing act, and the Moon in Libra teaches us that we can be diplomatic without losing our autonomy.

With the Sun in opposition to the Moon at 12 degrees and 21 minutes, we could explore the polarity of myself versus them, subjective versus objective, and conscious intention versus unconscious impulses. But I encourage you to instead of being pulled in two directions, to learn how to incorporate both. For instance, with you and others, be conscientious of making time for your own pursuits while also scheduling activities that are done jointly with the special people in your life. Talk about your day but also ask questions and truly listen to what others in your life are experiencing.

The sign of Libra is symbolized with scales. Though it is rare to have them completely in balance, the objective is to attempt equilibrium. One of the ways of doing so, is to hone in on your responsibilities without taking ownership of duties that are someone else’s. It is about having boundaries, not just your own, but not treading upon your loved ones life. For instance, are you acting as a parent to an adult partner or friend, or are standing equally by their side?

During the Full Moon, Jupiter is in a separating T-Square to the Sun and Moon. I find understanding boundaries befitting, since Jupiter tends to have us go to extremes. We may be overworked or overwhelmed, especially if we are taking on responsibilities that are more imagined than real. It is good to be generous with your time and resources, but the key here is to learn the line where it becomes living someone else’s life instead of living your own.

Now I want to stress, some relationships may require you to do one task that benefits both parties while they do another task. Not everything will be split 50/50 due to skill, availability, and fortitude. But ideally, this Full Moon will illuminate areas where you are overdoing one thing and not taking responsibility for something else. Let’s say your partner does the finances, this doesn’t mean you put your head in the sand. They may be an expert at excel, or investing, but ideally, you should know the balances in the accounts and how money is being spent.

In regards to other transits on the day of the Libra Full Moon, we have Mercury in Trine to Jupiter, which beckons us to think from a broader point of view, and tap into subjects like foreign affairs, law and philosophy while having Piscean compassion. Mercury is in conjunction with the dwarf planet of Vesta. Our safety and security is top of mind. Vesta can be clannish, where the Full Moon is asking you to also think about the well-being of others outside of your own locality.

Saturn in Aries is in a tight sextile with Pluto in Aquarius. Taking responsibility for ourselves is supported by the transformative power of Pluto. When we narrow down what we need to do, as opposed to taking on everything, then we can be more productive and have greater impact. This sextile helps us to determine what action we can take to serve humanity, which can be anything from showing up to a protest, calling your representatives or providing comfort. But not every act is obvious, nor should it be, like purposefully researching corporations and where they contribute money, and basing your buying habits off of that.

During the Full Moon, you may find your energy being a bit restless with Mars in Pisces in sextile to Uranus in Taurus. It may feel like you are on pins and needles, but the takeaway here is to be open to insight and a fresh perspective. Making new friends is advantageous right now, again, reemphasizing the importance of relationships. Take a book and go to a coffee shop, volunteer for an organization or find a local game night and participate in trivia, board or card games. (By the way, some local bookstores have events where you have the opportunity to meet others.)

With all of this discussion on relationships, what is Venus doing in this mix? Venus is currently in the sign of Taurus, its domicile. It is conjunct to Ceres, the dwarf planet of physical nurturance, fertility and gardening. With the increase of food prices and spring season, this is a good time to plan a garden. Nurturing plants helps us to nurture ourselves and others, thus solidifying the theme of taking care of our needs while supporting and showing up for our relationships.

The New Moon happens in a couple of weeks, giving us an opportunity to plant seeds. If you live above ground in an apartment or condo, you can still grow food, such as mushrooms or sprouts. If you have a balcony, potatoes are easy to grow in a grow bag.

Many local places have community gardens. If this is something that interests you (I am looking at those with lots of Earth sign placements,) joining these gardens can be a great way to create connections with others while also helping your local community.

The dynamics of the Libra Full Moon, along with the other placements, can be seen as a point of regulation as we move through the month of April. We can’t do life alone, but we also can’t expect others to take the lead. The lesson here is to be your authentic self without neglecting your relationships, understanding and honoring boundaries while also expanding your support system. With that said, I am going to leave you with this quote by poet and clergyman John Donne in 1624:

“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were: any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”
