Full Moon in Libra - Blood Moon

Tuesday 14^th April 2014

Total Lunar Eclipse – Blood Moon

5.51pm AEST – Maximal Eclipse

 

If you thought April had already been a Roller Coaster ride then you had better hold on tighter because the ride hasn’t finished yet.  This month’s Full Moon is packing an extra whammy!  This Full Moon is the first in the upcoming Tetrad which is a series of four Blood Moons over the next twelve months.  There is myriad of symbolism attached to Blood Moons.  One thing that most astrologers agree on though is that Eclipse’s highlight and areas of our lives that are in Shadow. 

 

With the astrological line up we have already experienced since the start of the Year most of us are already well on the path of clearing out what no longer serves us.  This Eclipse gives us a glimpse of what is still in Shadow.  This Full Moon is in Libra which is all about balance.  Balance in our Relationships, balance in our work commitments and so on.  Many of us have begun the process of removing Relationships that are not in balance and not serving our Higher Purpose.  These Relationships may be work related, social or romantic.  Remember that when we sever any relationship we go through a stage of grief so be kind and nurture yourself during this time. 

 

We are also approaching the peak of the Cardinal Grand Cross in the night skies.  The line-up of the Cardinal Grand Cross formation is one of the most difficult alignments. It happens when four planets hold the same (or close) degree in the four cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn — each planet making a 90 degree angle from each other. Not sure what I mean? Just think of a big square in the sky and you’re in the middle and everyone is arguing around you; everyone has their own agenda and not cooperating.  The planets involved in this Grand Event are Uranus, Jupiter, Mars, and Pluto. What does this mean? Change. Total gut level, hyper focused change.  The effects of this Grand Cross have been in play since January and will continue to influence us until July this year.  This combined with the two Black Moons we had in January and March, Mars and Saturn Retrograde many of us already feel like we have had our lives shaken up.  This Blood Moon will shine a light on anything that hasn’t been shaken up yet.

 

 All of these influences could be leaving you feeling like your head and life are in a spin.  Don’t stress though we are being given the opportunity to make the changes we need to make to Live the Life we were born to Live.  So if you are in the midst of change don’t fear or worry, things are happening the way they are meant to and you are completely supported by the Universe.  Be kind and nurture yourself and trust that you are right where you are meant to be.

 

Blood Moons are also said to be a time when the veils between the worlds are thin allowing us to communicate with the other side.  Similar to what happens at Samhain which is April 30^th, here in the Southern Hemisphere.  We also have a Partial Solar Eclipse at the New Moon on April 29^th.   I will write more about these events as we draw closer to the close of the Month and the Dark Moon.

 

 

I wish you all a wonderful and restful time over the next week, however you choose to celebrate this time.  I am off to spend some much needed ME time and Reconnecting with Our Great Mother Gaia for a week. 

Full Moon Blessings to All!
