This Lunascope helps us to navigate the Full and New Moon waves so that we make the most of the Moon's energy. When we start living within the natural rhythm and flow of Nature we find life becomes more peaceful and harmonious. The Moon and Planets help us to find this natural flow and bring us back into alignment with the Earth and all living things.

Dear Lunascopers
Apologies for the late sending out of this Lunascope. I have been in Ibiza, facilitating a Cacaoista training, and found it challenging to find the time to sit and write. Mercury is starting his retrograde, Venus is in her last few days of retrograde, the sun is shining, and I needed to turn the computer/phone off, switch off, take a few days off, and commune with Nature, the Sea, and my inner goddess, as she blossoms and blooms.
This is the first full moon after the Spring Equinox, and the one that heralds the coming abundant summer months; the long balmy summer days and short nights. The Libra full moon is also known as the Awakening or Growing Moon, which is very apt. We too are experiencing the same rapid growth, as Nature blooming around us, giving us a greater understanding of who we are, and our place in the world.
Mercury, the Planet of communication, also goes retrograde today until 3rd May. This is a creative time to strategise, integrate, re-evaluate, reflect and vision your dreams for the summer growth and abundance. Best not to sign any new contracts, make agreements, or secure a deal during this time, as things can look very different once Mercury goes forward.
Use this time wisely so that your roots are firmly in the ground and your projects can flourish once summer fully begins with the Pagan celebration of Beltane, at the beginning of May.
Applications are now open for my annual Ayahuasca retreat in the Peruvian Amazon in November - please see below for details.
Wishing you all a balanced, harmonious and sociable full moon ride.
In Love and Gratitude

The Libra full moon on Tuesday reminds us to see the balance in everything and remember to recognise both the burden and the blessing. We are already in the process of integration, reflection and re-evaluating under this Mercury Retrograde, so expect this full moon to intensify the whole process, enabling us to clear out the old and make room for the new, so we can reach our full potential.
Symbolised by the scales, the Libra moon focuses on restoring the balance and enables us to see both sides of the situation. During this full moon it is a time for cooperation and compromise, rather than conflict and confrontation. It reminds us how blessed we are to have the friends and lovers in our life. It is a time to honour ALL the people who are shaping us, and helping us become who we are, whether the experiences are negative or positive. Use this moon to give thanks for the ALL the gifts that they give us.
Here are my 7 top tips to help successfully surf this Libra full moon.
Dance Barefoot
Let the enthusiasm of Spring inspire you. Shake off any last echo's of hibernation and embrace this new phase with gusto. Take time out to enjoy the Spring blossom and the flowers that are now bursting with life. Dance barefoot on the earth and feel the Earth's Electro Magnetic energy flow up through the soles of your feet and energise your cells. Sunbathe, and feel the heat of the warming sun rays on your body and feeding you essential Vitamin D.
Spring Clean
This Libra full moon encourages us to make our surroundings beautiful and harmonious so continue to spring clean your life. Use the energy to re-arrange, re-decorate and restore the balance and freshness of your home. Be ruthless, clearing out anything that you don`t need, want or use. This can be challenging but clearing the old, allows space to bring in the new. It is a liberating exercise, so really 'get your house in order,' both metaphorically and physically.
Making Peace
Libra is also the most sociable, friendly, and entertaining of all the signs, so this is a good time to make peace with anyone at work, or close relationships that have become disharmonious. Be the one to make the peace and heal the wounds, by using the harmonious Libra energy to let go of any pride and ego that are contributing to the problems. This action makes us take personal responsibility for the situation, while helping to restoring the balance and harmony in your working, or living environment.
Dissolving Conflict
This Libra full moon helps us to get in touch with the subtle issues that have been brewing within us. Rather than suppress and numb yourself, give yourself permission to be truthful about how you are really feeling. By bringing them to the surface they can be faced in order to be resolved. This Libra full moon puts the focus on compassion and understanding, rather than the conflict that may have been prominent since the Aries new moon.
Stay Honest
Under this moon we can no longer ignore our intuition, and stay blind to the reality of a situation that is not serving you. The challenge will be facing the truth, and weighing up the options, while keeping an inner balance and harmony. During this moon phase remain strong and centred in your power. If conflict arises use cooperation and harmony, rather than hate and anger, by remaining honest and true to yourself.
Reap what you Sow
Libra Moons serve out justice, as 'you reap what you sow' is under Libra’s domain. What you decide to sow and plant now will eventually be harvested in six months’ time, under the Libra new moon. This awareness helps us to set the right intention with the right action, and if we are willing to work hard, and not take shortcuts, we will find ourselves harvesting sweet fruits in the autumn.
From Me To We
While we endeavour to follow our dreams and fulfil our needs, we are becoming more aware than ever that our actions have a direct impact on everything around us. The more we realise that we are part of the whole, our intentions are for the greater good, and our actions are automatically supportive and healthy. When we are only thinking of our own needs and wants there is an element of conflict in all our relationships. This Libra full moon reminds us we must shift our value systems from 'Me' to 'We' if we are going to leave this Planet healthy for future generations.
I will end this Lunascope with the wise words of Morrie Schwartz, in "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom:
“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”

LIBRA FULL MOON RITUAL
Go out into the countryside and enjoy the aromas, colours, and powerful energies of Nature. Focus on the change in fauna and flora, whether it be Spring flowers, the blossom, and the trees budding with leaves in the Northern Hemisphere, or the red, gold’s and browns of the Autumn leaves and the chill of the wind, in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s good to remember that opposites occur simultaneously on different parts of the planet, and you can tune into any part of the cycle wherever you may be.
Use this Moon to clean your crystals. Bury them in the earth the night before the full Moon for three days so they imbue the energy of Mother Earth, as well as the energy from the light of the Moon, and the rays of the Sun.
To really connect with this moon, sit by some water and observe the reflection of the moon on the water’s surface, as it shifts and changes. Be still, becoming aware of your breath. Vision what you want to manifest, and see it coming to life in the reflection in the water, knowing without doubt your dreams will be answered.
Silently, ask the moon if she has a message for you regarding any conflict or issue in your business, or personal life, that are creating conflict, struggle, and disharmony. The more honest you are with your situation, and the part you are playing in the drama, the clearer the answers and solutions will be.
The Libra full moon energy will help you to see the other person’s perspective and support you to find resolution, so if there is something you have needed to say to someone and clear the air, tell them without blame, during this full moon.
This is also a good moon to make the effort to connect with friends and family, especially if you have been a recluse recently. Make a meal and invite them to share it with you over the long Easter weekend.
