On this powerful Full Moon, it’s time to put focus on your relationships. Are you giving more than you are receiving in a love relationship, or is it the other way around?




Libra is about finding balance and meeting your heart with matched energy. This full moon is met by Venus and Uranus which will brew up and surface problems with any off balance parts in your relationships.

You might start to feel restless and rebellious. So go inward into your heart center to seek the truth. You hold the power to truth when you ask for the veil of your story to be lifted.

Here’s a great Full Moon Ritual that will allow you (if you desire) to see where you’re off balance and see your truth.When you find yourself able to listen to your truth, this can uplift your life in multiple ways!



 

Candle(s) Colors


Red - Letting go of anger, aggression, sexual assault

Orange- Letting go of blocks around birthing, imbalance, creativity, lack of inspiration and feeling no intimacy in relationships



Directions for Candle Lighting:


Take a pen/paper/matches, choose a candle that represents what you are seeking to let go of (or choose both).

Sit down and close your eyes and take 3 big deep breathes into your heart. Then, as you're breathing deeply out to the sky to reset, ask and allow yourself to feel and see the truth of your imbalances around your heart. See if you get a picture, a thought of someone, a word popping into your head, or a feeling of discomfort in your body (if you get a physical discomfort, ask this area to release the imprint of pain/fear/story).

Then write down what showed up in your breathing moments... after writing these down, take your paper with a bowl of water, and light it on fire over the water safety check) !!





Tip: See how fast it burns.. the slower the burn, the more you have to release. If it burns quickly. then you have fully released the negative blocks/energy.


After the paper has burned, take your candle(s) and hold it to your heart center. Visualize the opposite of what you released. Take your time, there is no rush...


When you feel the shift of your focus in your heart, light your candle(s). Let them burn out, and as the days pass, you can see from the candle how close you are to being free from what you’ve let go! Remember, allow the candle to fully burn out. This can take up to 5 days to fully burn.



 

Safety Precaution:

With allowing your candle to stay lite until its burnt out, please leave your candle in a safe area that is blocked from falling over or in a closed space. I recommend to keep the candle either in a sink with a flat surface, a shower and/or bathtub for over the period of 3-8 days. When candle is finished, clean out glass jar and recycle the glass.


In this New Moon in Aries, it’s a great time to ask for allowing yourself to find comfort and connection to your passions in life. Know that your passion is toned as your “path-shown”. If you are looking for direction in career, relationships with self-worth and confidence, this would be a great time to ask the universe to show your passions “path-shown” towards your highest path of happiness and enjoying the richness in life!






Traits to Heighten:


Confidence, Self-Worth, Courage, Determination, Sexual Pleasure, Creativity, Balanced Emotions, New Beginnings, Self-awareness, Independence and Integrity.


Bringing healing light to dis-ease associated with Aries and energy points:


Reproductive Issues, Urinary Infections, Bipolar Disorder, Fatigue, Low Sex Drive


This is a great energy that supports creating your life with passion. With Aries’s confidence, determination and courage you have the ability to transform your energy into self-worth, finding your value in your passions and cultivating a healthy sex life. Because Aries is ruled with the sacral energy point, you can easily shift old patterns around cultivating your “Dream Life” into reality. The Sacral energy point is the ruler of flow and this allows you to let go of control and allow your creativity and passions to “flow freely” through your body with ease. This allows you to connect to your gut instincts and be guided to opening paths you were closed off to before. I recommend to change up your regular routine and take a movement class for your physical body like dancing or yoga! This helps open up your sacral chakra to enhance self-esteem, self-love and charisma!



 

Aries New Moon Affirmation:


“I am so blessed and honored to feel my passions ignited and allow my creativity to flow freely with ease.”





Candle(s)


Red and/or Orange


Red is used for positive energy

It magnifies courage, igniting sexual energy and healing, passion& intimacy


Orange encourages the self to open and heal the sacral chakra; to open your creativity, growth, sexual magnetism


Directions:

Take your candle(s), Paper/Pen/Matches


On your piece of paper, write 6 desires that you are asking to open, heal and heighten.


Close your eyes, hold the paper with intentions and candle(s) on your lower stomach. Then visualize your life with your desires. Allow these positive feelings to flow through your physical body (don’t worry if you cant feel a difference, but imagine what it could feel like).

During this time, I like to add music that inspires me to deepen my physical connection. When you feel like you have connected to your list in a positive way, you then take the paper, candle and matches and hold your candle(s) to feel the lightness in your body..


Then light your candle(s) and allow them to burn out. If you keep your candle burning, this can take up to 5 days to fully burn out.

Innocence, Abundance & True Love


Violet Blossoms Are to Eat. Violet Leaves Are to Drink

 

Spring is often thought of as a time to purify the body after the winter season and gain renewed energy for the lovely spring!


Violets are perfect for springtime because they help your body eliminate waste by stimulating the lymphatic glands to get rid of toxins in the body!


Medical Uses


Violet leaves and flowers have been used historically for the treatment of cancer and swollen glands.  The tea of the flowers, leaves, and sometimes the roots is used internally to help dissolve tumors and relieve congested tissue.  Herbalist Alma Hutchen says that violets’ dissolving properties “seem to have intricate inward skill, reaching places only the blood and lymphatic fluids penetrate.”  Herbalist Susan Weed uses violets internally as a tea and externally as a poultice to help heal fibrocystic breasts, breast cancer, and mastitis.  Violet has also been used in Native American and Chinese medicine for cancer and for shrinking tumors.  The action may be partly due to steroidal saponins found in the plant, which have a dissolving action that can increase the transfer of nutrients across cell membranes.

This delicate herb has a rich tradition in Europe as well, where it has been used for centuries as a pulmonary remedy for dry hacking cough. It is often recommended for bronchitis and whooping cough, along with the roots of marshmallow (Althaea officinalis) and licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra).
