Welcome,

Dear friends.

This is Sarah and I am so happy that you're with me again.

This is a guided interactive practice for the full moon in Libra.

So depending on where you are in the world,

The full moon is taking place on the 8th of April in 2020.

If you haven't already,

It would be good now to grab a pen and paper and if you can,

Find yourself a space where you can sit down,

Be quiet,

Just relax for a little while.

And together we will reflect on and journal on the themes that this full moon in Libra might illuminate for us.

We're living through massively strange times in 2020 and many of us are full of anxiety and worry and fear.

So it's a wonderful opportunity to just to take some time out from all of that,

To let yourself be calm,

To sit down and focus your energy on something and think about the ways that we can make change.

If like us here in Scotland,

You are not allowed to leave your house at the moment,

Tempers can be frayed and frustrations with family members or frustrations with loneliness can be really,

Really apparent right now and they are very much reflected in the astrology of the moment.

This journey that we are on began with the eclipses in Cancer and Capricorn that happened in December 2019 and then further escalated with the Saturn and Pluto conjunction in January.

And just this weekend we have the first of two,

Three Jupiter and Pluto conjunctions that are going to happen this year.

Pluto is transformation,

It's that metaphorical death and rebirth energy and Jupiter is expansion.

And so what these conjunctions do is they help us to look at individually and collectively what is not working for us and they give us the opportunity to change that.

And we see that being played out on a world stage at the moment when we look at societal constructs,

When we look at government and we look at big businesses and these themes that we started the year with and all that Capricorn energy of structures that are no longer working for us being torn down to be rebuilt.

And that is the message here is sweeping societal change but societal change for the better.

We have never been more aware of how connected we are,

That we are all one and we are ever more connected to our families,

Our friends as we move through this period of staying safe at home.

And these are all the themes that we explore with this Libra Full Moon.

When the Moon is full it's directly opposite the Sun in the sky so we can look at the astrology of both the Moon and the Sun and we can take this opposition and relate it to our lives and understand how we are experiencing it.

Full Moons illuminate so they are illuminating that area of your life in order for us to reflect on it and think about where it needs to change.

Aries is the sign of the self so it's the first sign of the zodiac and it's all about your true authentic self and it's about your needs.

Libra is about balance,

Harmony and relationships.

So your relationships,

Whether that's friends,

Family,

Partners versus yourself.

And in this time where we are taking this rest at home to stay safe and stay well,

Depending on our situation we can either be in the midst of frustration with a partner and family members when we are cooped up in houses together and tempers can be frayed and things can really feel like they come into boiling point.

But on the other hand if you are alone then the distance between the self and the relationships might feel bigger than ever because you might have been at home alone for some time now.

And we run the risk if we are not connected of anxiety,

Soaring anxiety levels,

Complete social isolation and those feelings of loneliness.

And whichever situation you are in these are the themes that we can explore with Libra and we can explore the needs of the self versus the needs of others.

So let's begin by taking some time to think about the self.

And let's just take a few minutes now just to sit down and just write how you are feeling.

Just you.

Let the words come out as quickly as they come into your head,

We'll do this fast.

And maybe you'll find that there are words that come out that you didn't know that you were feeling.

But let's get them out onto paper because that in itself can be a massive release and full moons are always this energy of release.

So let's let it out yes.

Take two minutes.

I'll come back to you.

How do you feel?

You've got one more minute.

How did that feel?

I hope that it was helpful and I hope that it helped to move some of that energy that might just be stuck in the body at the moment because we are not moving as much as we are used to.

We are not able to get outside as much as we are used to if we can get outside at all.

So now that we've thought about how we feel,

Let's think about our relationships and let's consider what it is that we need from others.

So if you are in a situation where you are isolating with family,

Think about what you need to be able to bring more balance and harmony into your life right now and what you need from others.

If you are alone in isolation,

Think about what you need from others.

What connections do you need?

What support do you need?

What contact do you need at the moment?

And how can that bring more balance and harmony into your life just now?

Writing down what we need is often quite an emotional experience because we are very often not used to asking for help.

But if we really sit here and think about it and think about what this full moon is showing us about our relationships and what we need,

What is it that you need from your relationships right now?

I'll come back to you in two minutes.

Here we go.

There's one minute left.

Now that we have an idea of where we are,

How we feel and what we need from others in our relationships just now,

Let's consider what we can give to others and what we can give to our relationships at the moment.

Let's consider how we can support people,

How we can uplift people,

How we can help people to feel calm and strong and brave through this situation.

How can we connect more and how can we continue that once the situation gets better?

What's your contribution?

I'll come back to you in two minutes.

There's one minute to go.

Let's take some time now to finish,

To release with this Libra Full Moon and let's make a list of all the things that are no longer working for us in our relationships.

Think about people,

Places,

Situations and behaviors and let's write them as releasing statements.

Let's choose phrases like I release,

I am free from,

I will no longer.

Make these powerful statements and as you write them really feel into the energy of them.

If you like when you're finished you can safely burn them or because it's Libra and it's air,

If you're able to safely do so,

Open a window,

Tear them up into tiniest pieces and let them go but only if it's safe to do that.

Aries is the element of fire so burning is very appropriate here too.

Take your list and start to write it down.

I'll come back to you in two minutes.

You There's one minute left.

You Whenever you're ready you can take your list and out loud you can say thank you it is done and then release.

Burn that paper and let it all go.

Thank you so much for joining me.

I look forward very much to speaking with you for the full the new moon in next month.

Stay home,

Stay safe,

Stay well.

Much love.

I enjoy following along these last few full moons. Very insightful, so thank you. I particularly enjoyed the powerful releasing statements this time- very freeing 🕉

I look forward to your new posts each full and new moon. They have become part of my rituals. I couldn’t be more thankful! This one was perfect for the time we’re living in and really helped me identify what I need to do for myself and for others. Thank you!

Hi Sara. I hope you and your loved ones are safe. Thank you for this meditation. What came out for me is that there is a weird balance of conflicting emotions: confidence and uncertainty; gratitude and sadness; connection and loneliness. Yesterday I did a tarot reading and for my present state I had the Chariot, which I see now is me being pulled along by dual and opposing energies but somehow they are propelling me and the rest of the world forward. Anyway, I apologize for the long comment, but wanted to let you know that your offerings are important and meaningful, much appreciated, and a source of clarity in these strange times. Stay safe, and many blessings.

Thank you for this beautiful meditation 🤍
