Venus is now moving forward again, in the oceanic sign of Pisces.
Consider what has floated into your heart and mind over the last few weeks as you've dipped into the rich reservoir of your feelings. What awareness have you connected to as you reviewed territory already traveled in the realms of relationship, finances, and art?
The Libra Full Moon calls upon us to integrate our desires with those of the people with whom we are in relationship. It can help us gain insight into whether our approach to accommodating our needs and those of others is a balanced one or whether the scale is tipped to one side.

It's a time to recognize both the differences and the similarities that exist in a system. And while we may be drawn to classify and criticize, remembering that everything is connected—even if we can’t immediately perceive it—can yield a greater acceptance of self and others. With both Virgo and Pisces being signs connected to relieving dis-ease, this Full Moon provides an opportune time to focusing on healing imbalances in our physical bodies, notably through connection with the numinous through practices such as meditation, prayer, dreamwork, and our creative imagination.
Read MoreI love planetary retrograde cycles.
Why?
I feel that retrograde periods are times for reflection and heightened inner awareness.
They give us a time to pause, to slow down.
