I couldn’t help but giggle when I read Sagittarius (my moon)β€”I think that must be a sign that I was meant to find it ☺️

Ahhh yes, I think so! And I love the optimism of Sag moons, even if it gets them into trouble at times 😁

LOL - so right on! Libra moon - I don't do blingy! Earnest work is my thing.

Sagittarius sun: Living fast and loose/ A bit scattered, to be real/ I forgot my goal...

My desk illustrates both of these perfectly: several books open, note taking pages, multiple pens, and folders of projects I am pondering.

Another consideration for Libra is that while many know it to be the scales and equate that with balance, on a deeper level it is knowing one's value as an individual and what that value brings to the other and the collective of others.

Libras are often criticized for being indecisive, but it is because they take their function seriously and seek not to waste their value by choosing anything less than the highest possible benefit toward a just or harmonious outcome!

Oh my, Sue, I hear you. Sometimes astrology is too accurate a mirror! 🀩🀣

I don’t know the time I was born, so when I looked up my Moon sign the calculator said it moved from Virgo to Libra on my birthdate. I’m not sure which one resonates more lol

A little secret (not so much!) is that we each have all 12 signs β€˜in’ us, so we could really choose any and meditate on the message and identify a truth πŸ₯°

Thank you for engaging with this little project!

I think I’m a Sagittarius moon and this could not be more freaking accurate! πŸ˜„πŸ˜…

Haha! I may try to do these for the main lunar phases. We’ll see what the energy of the last quarter moon brings!

Sun in Scorpio β€” It’s all over now/ Empty out the place. Go home/ Regroup. Start again

Well, that pretty much sums it up. Everything has been upended in my life. πŸ–€ The place is emptied out, literally. Haven't found new home yet. Working on it. I need some time to regroup before I start my new life. The appearance of the Death card right now makes perfect sense. I feel like I've accompanied death throughout my life.

I'm sorry if I sound unduly negative. I definitely can go Goth. πŸ˜‚ I've just been dealing with releasing heavy energy. I'm actually doing okay despite it all.

Thank you for offering your perspective, Maria.

πŸ™πŸ½ Anna! Simply because you are making space for all of this, it will allow you and the surrounding energy to flow more easily. At least that has been my experience - when I resist or avoid rather than examine and accept what is happening, well, it just prolongs the struggle experience and delays the learning.

And I am a Scorpio rising, so bring on the Goth 😚

Maria, have you ever thought about the significance of the Earth's placement on the zodiac (exactly opposite the Sun) and the fact that Earth and Moon are always conjunct on the Full Moon, and both in opposition to Sun? Seems to me we ought to pay some attention to this conjunction/opposition. I've been thinking about it, anyway.

Ooohhh! This is brilliant, Susan (I would expect no less from you 😚)

No, I haven't really considered this, but what comes to mind is the representation of the Moon for the body, and the Earth as an extension of the individual bodies on the Earth.

One way it is described in my herbalism learning is that we are, taken together, all one being, and the Oceans are the extracellular matrix uniting the β€˜cells’ of this one being.

So, the Full Moon may also be a time to really feel our sense of a bodily whole with the Earth. 🌍

Many thanks for this perspective. More pondering to come!

Yes, let's ponder on Gaia (as you say: "Earth as an extension of the individual bodies on the Earth") and her place (and ours, as a tiny one of those bodies) on the Zodiac. And that tension with Sun . . . Love to hear your thoughts on this, when you have time. (Really, I'm no astrologer, just a forever-student.)

Ah, Taurus Moons tend to be the ones everyone else attaches to in times of chaos.

Steady souls who make others feel secure!
