This weekend we have a full moon, Saturday or Sunday depending on where you live.  That picture is one I took from the patio tonight as the moon was rising.  

This full moon is different than most because it's the first full moon, after the March Equinox.  That is how they figure each year, "when Easter will be".  Easter is the first Sunday, after the first full moon, after the spring equinox.  Yes really, and that's why it's a holiday that moves around and doesn't happen on the same day every year. 

But back to the moon, 5:22 pm Pacific Time, Saturday, the moon will be full and it will be the smallest full moon of 2025. The reason is the orbit, the moon is at the farthest point from the Earth and that makes it appear smaller in size.  

And while it's called the Pink Moon, that is because of spring flowers in bloom, not the color of the actual moon.   And the Farmers Almanac tells us that this moon, and weekend, is good for weeding, thinning, pruning, mowing, cutting timber, and planting root vegetables.

Many people still follow the old ways and the wisdom that you can find with the Almanac and there is a link at the bottom of this to their website.  

And the witchy? The moon will be in Libra, and Venus will be going direct at about the same time. Libra can very much be about creating harmony, and beauty and even love.  And we know Venus can shine the light on those things as well.  Libra is also the scales, and the balance - but this weekend take the pause that things may be a bit exaggerated.  

This is a good weekend for some quiet journaling or planning, and that includes things like your budget and spending.  And take a good look at your plants, inside and outside.  What needs repotted, watered, cut back - or depending on where you live planted.  Even if you have a small patio could you plant and grow some potatoes, onions, or carrots? 

And take time to find the beauty in things.  Take that pause to see how nature is changing in your neighborhood.  Use all of your senses, what scents are beautiful to you, what colors, sounds and then get them in your journal.  

Lastly? Remember to make time to go outside and see the full moon!

2:01 AM Pacific Time - March 20th, 2025

Welcome back Spring, and goodbye to winter.  We are at the New Year of Astrology and we are now in a great place to set our intentions.  What "seeds" are you ready to plant in your life, to create more love, joy, peace and abundance? 

Not the should do list, toss that one.  What's on your THRIVING list this season, this year? 

Part of successfully dancing back your life, is making sure that you are in motion, in both thoughts and actions, getting clarity on what you really want to do and be.  ​

We will have a new moon in Pisces at 4:45 PM PST (California time) on Thursday, the 27th.  
New moons are a good time to plant seeds for what we want to grow and harvest.  

​If you know where Pisces is in your birth chart you can add an extra layer by planting the seeds with matters that pertain to that house. 

But if you don't know, that's okay, instead use it for the Pisces things in your life that you want to see level out and get brighter.  

A few examples of that would be how you can improve your communications.  Better at writing the words, or speaking them, or instead listening and considering other points of view.  Or maybe you are ready to change how you communicate by listening to nature, the animals, or the wind; maybe your guides and inner voice, angels or aliens.

​There's also some Venus in the mix this time, so instead (or also) focus on what you are passionate about.  For many that is learning to be open to hearing who and what they are passionate about, not what they have been told to pursue, or what they feel is a should or stuck place.  

2025 is a good year to stop trying to bring back a better time and instead look at how we create an ideal future.  This moon would be around pursuits of passion, communication, and creative pursuits. ​

January 29th is the start of the Chinese New Year, and this year it is the year of the wood snake. 

It's also the Aquarius New Moon, and that means it's time to use our energy, our visioning, our clarity on planting some new seeds for what we want to see happen.  Normally we are looking out 6 months to the corresponding full moon, and yes we still are today but we are also looking at the year ahead.  

This is the new moon to have good clarity on what does the ideal future look like to you.  Not how can we make it better, or that one time was pretty good; but instead the look at what would ideal look like,  for me, my family, community, the world.   Help plant those seeds for what could ideal really be for each of us and all of us.  

How can you combine the energies of your intuition and transformation, that are matched well today with the wood snake energy? And then combine with that the Aquarian energy of everyone, ideals, and utopia.  

This is a great moon, if you have good clarity, clear vision, for setting the path forward for positive change. ​

​Here is where we learn about the basics of the moon and astrology and how it can impact your day, health, and neighborhood.  

We know the moon pulls on the tides, but did you know it even pulls on the ground under your feet? Knowing when things are happening can help you plan ahead and have a better adventure.  In the same way you pack rain gear if a rain storm is coming, you can pack your gear for when astrology gets bumpy. ​

When we are living in resonance, or balance with the seasons, we have a better flow in our lives.  Everyone can understand the example that we don't plant seeds in frozen tundra, we wait for a warmer season.  That is true for other things in our life too. 

Learning to follow the seasons, is important for so many reasons, including your wellness.  Many people don't do well in the cold, others not in the heat, and we have all heard of seasonal depression/disorder when there are too many gray and dark days in a row.  ​

​​At the March Equinox the season turns to Spring, unless you are in the Southern Hemisphere, then you have the start of Fall.
