Full Moon in Libra
Sunday 28th March 7.48pm GMT
Gathering Moon thoughts…
Our moon will soon be taking her foot off the peddle as she cruises into Libra Sunday. Let us meet her half-way and gather some moon gifts in preparation for our ritual.
Our Full Moon is in the relationship realms of Libra, ruled by Venus. The first lunation of Spring. And with beginnings so come endings in this cycle of infinity. This is a time for beautifying, self-care, and balancing the needs for self (Sun in Aries) with the tending to relationships (Moon in Libra). As the Sun and Moon come to face each other across the circle.
This realm calls for balance, creativity and expressing your inner joy through howling, music and fun as well as forgiveness, meditation and deep gratitude. Please do share your expressions to our Journeying with the Moon group, we would love to see them xx
If you are in relationship with another this is a beautiful time to perform ritual together, to speak in loving ways, tantra is perfect for this and if you are single you may wish to call in your partner or feel gratitude for the union of your inner masculine and feminine…
In the days/hours leading up to the Full Moon - you may wish to run with the moon at night, or run yourself a bath with essential oils, salts or petals and/or crystals. Have a body brush. Or if you prefer a shower have some extra special body wash or music in the shower over the next few days. The intention is to feel how the moon feels, as she honours her ever growing body. At the end wash away and allow the water to drain what no longer serves you.
We shall be exploring the Venus and Chrion conjunction in our ritual…
“Venus and Chrion are conjunct in the sky opposite our Full Moon. What story do I carry about myself that is just not true and that is holding me back? Some misaligned belief about yourself…

Ritual Ingredients for Despacho
These are just some suggestions and please do not feel you have to buy anything or make any rushed efforts. This time is for relaxed effort. Opening your awareness to anything that may come in. The element of our Full Moon is AIR…
The image here is of a more advanced offering but gives you an idea of what can be made. We shall be doing a simpler version.
