But when I explained that eclipses work on an axis, and that we also have to consider the deeper meaning of the area of life, not just its physical manifestation, it all started to make sense to them.</p><p>Below, we&#8217;re going to look at the two opposing houses being highlighted by the eclipse, while also considering the inner workings of those houses from a psychological and evolutionary perspective.</p><p>An eclipse can manifest externally, but its purpose is often an internal reorientation &#8212; ultimately guiding you toward the natal promise of your North and South Nodes.</p><p>For example, someone with a 10th-house eclipse doesn&#8217;t necessarily need to get a new job. They might suddenly realize that their definition of success has changed. Because the opposite house also influences the experience, in this case, the 4th house of emotional well-being, family, and home may be part of what&#8217;s shaping that new awareness.</p>

That&#8217;s what Pisces does. It connects us with the invisible realm, with the higher chakras, and with the feeling of oneness and connection to all that exists.</p><p>That experience can be extremely difficult to hold in the body and mind unless we know how to surrender it to the creator. </p><p>This is a time to exhale and release all that feels too big to carry because you&#8217;re not meant to do so all by yourself. Accept the help. Let God do the heavy lifting&#8230; You do the daily work. </p><p>What this eclipse asks us to do is to find stillness within the extreme emotional waves we&#8217;re navigating through.</p><p>And this is where Virgo comes in. To ground us into the root chakra by creating a container with what you do on your day-to-day. </p><p>Virgo teaches us how to organize a lifestyle that allows for spiritual connection. It teaches us how to develop practices that bring order to our emotional highs and lows, so that we have the structure to hold what we experience internally. The way we eat, work, rest, organize our time, and care for our bodies can either support that connection or make it harder to hear ourselves.</p><h3>Releasing inherited patterns</h3><p>This Lunar Eclipse in Pisces can bring awareness to deep emotional patterns carried through family and lineage.</p><p>The lower vibrations of Virgo, like martyrdom and perfectionism, and the lower vibrations of Pisces, like sacrifice and self-abandonment, are coming up to awareness. </p><p>Doing things that don&#8217;t actually uplift your spirit simply because they feel like the &#8220;right&#8221; thing to do may no longer hold.</p><p>The roles we have taken on, the responsibilities we have carried, and the ways we have abandoned ourselves in the name of duty can begin to feel impossible to continue.</p><p>Something within us is asking: <strong>Does this actually nourish my spirit?</strong></p><h3>Be with the experience ~ Savassana ~</h3><p>Don&#8217;t become overly identified with what is happening right now, and don&#8217;t try to intellectualize the experience.</p><p>This Full Moon asks you to immerse yourself in the experience and let it teach you. Just be with it without trying to fix it. Pisces tells us that the healing happens when you become one with it. Then Virgo can come in and take note of how to improve it. </p><h3>An eclipse of endings</h3><p>Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, and this is the last eclipse in Pisces we will have until 2034.</p><p>The mutable energy being activated is about change. It asks us to adapt to what comes and prepare ourselves for something different.</p><p>Something is completing.</p><p>What, how, and when, where, and why? Leave the details for after eclipse season (Sep. 10th).  </p><p>The major components of this Full Moon are Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, and Sagittarius. If you have planets between 0&#186; - 7&#186; of these signs, this eclipse will be more noticeable for you.  </p><p>The Sun and Mercury in Virgo represent the part of us that wants to be proactive, productive, organized, and sometimes perfectionistic.</p><p>The Moon in Pisces represents the part of us that needs an emotional break, a time-out to escape to a different reality, or a return to a spiritual path. </p><p>And then there is Uranus in Gemini, representing the part of us that is questioning everything and requiring something different and unique.</p><p>This desire for change may be unconscious. We may not even realize how much we want to burn it all down and start fresh until this Full Moon illuminates it.</p><h3>Let life become an adventure</h3><p>The T-square between Virgo, Pisces, and Gemini releases through Sagittarius, which can make travel helpful. Seeing new places, encountering different cultures, and expanding your mind can help you see your life from a different perspective.</p><p>But you don&#8217;t necessarily have to get on a plane to access Sagittarius energy.</p><p>You can experience it by approaching your life through the lens of adventure or developing an optimistic perspective and sprinkling it with faith.</p><p>This Sag energy is about being a student of life! </p><p>Dare to explore a new territory, question what you thought you knew, develop your own ideas, and become what you have learned.</p><div

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You must get comfortable with the need to express your deepest love and your deepest fears, not for others, but for yourself. Let your intensity show you what you care about most, what you&#8217;re willing to protect, and what you&#8217;re willing to dedicate yourself to.</p><p>This is an incredibly heartfelt moment. An eclipse in Leo, the sign of the heart and of the Sun, the one that tells us who we came here to be and how we access our life force and purpose, can bring up existential questions. The answers may not arrive with full clarity right now, but they can give us signs.</p><p>This is why it&#8217;s so important to let yourself feel and to listen to your heart. Rest more. Surrender your need to be in control. It is so important to release the need to have all the answers and learn to sit with the certainty that your heart already knows, while your mind is still learning how to listen.</p><p>Sometimes, it is through following the hunches you get, doing more of what sparks your passion and curiosity, even when it seems silly, that you begin to discover something new. The act of allowing yourself to follow that calling is how you recreate yourself.</p><p>That is what Leo teaches us: how to be in the moment, like a child, fully present with what is. And it is through that presence that we recreate ourselves.</p><p>There may be dramatic endings and beginnings around the themes of how you creatively express yourself, love stories and your definition of romance, your relationship with children and your own inner child, and how you embody joy and playfulness.</p><p>But again, don&#8217;t expect everything to reveal itself on the day of the eclipse. For some, it may be very clear. For others, it may simply be a seed beginning to grow, an inner awareness that takes time to develop.</p><p>This eclipse is helping us evolve beyond the need to be overly dramatic in order to be seen or recognized, to place our expectations outside of ourselves, or to be overly protective and shy.</p><p>It is teaching us about leadership through example rather than through dictating like a queen or king.</p><p>The pride that keeps you from accepting an apology or offering one is also what keeps authentic love at a distance. The heartbreak that once debilitated you has the capacity to teach you how to heal, how to return to love from a much more empowered place, with a stronger heart.</p><p>This eclipse carries an immense capacity to heal the heart and reconnect us with the humble heart that knows the love of God.</p><p>This is especially important to remember as Neptune, the planet that connects us to unconditional love, opposes Venus and squares Mars.</p><p>This kind of tension can bring up idealizations of what we wish other people or situations could be, followed by the disillusionment that comes when they don&#8217;t deliver what we imagined.</p><p>Through this tension, Neptune reminds the cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, to find love within. To notice when you are dreaming as though you are separate from love, from God, from meaning, and looking for it externally.</p><p>Notice when you are projecting fantasy.</p><p>Notice when reality feels painful, overwhelming, or confusing. This is the call to return to Source.</p><p>And perhaps that is one of the deepest teachings of this eclipse:</p><p>You do not have to become someone else in order to be loved. You do not have to perform, prove, or perfect yourself to be worthy of belonging.</p><p>Leo reminds us that the sun does not force its light&#8212;it shines because shining is its nature.</p><p>Remember what brings you alive, what makes you feel a little or very vulnerable; this is what is sacred to you and what you&#8217;re here to do, to love, to bring to life&#8230; Let us hear your roar!</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://astroval.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Full Moon is asking you: <strong>Is your voice serving your deepest desires, or are your desires being shaped by someone else&#8217;s expectations?</strong></p><p>As Pluto transforms a longing you&#8217;ve carried in the Aquarius area of your chart, Jupiter is expanding a truth that will only grow louder in your heart. It&#8217;s revealing how you want to express yourself, what you want to create, and what you&#8217;re being called to explore more deeply in the Leo area of your chart.</p><p>I can&#8217;t help but think that many people will experience some kind of career shift or a change in how they creatively express themselves with the lunar nodes moving through the Leo&#8211;Aquarius axis from now until 2028. The Sun has so much to do with how we shine, share our gifts, and offer our talents to the world. This Leo season marks the beginning of discovering what aspect of yourself is asking to be brought into the light and consciously developed.</p><p>With the South Node transiting Leo during Leo season, we&#8217;re revisiting our relationship with love, passion, creativity, and self-expression. The way we&#8217;ve related to these themes in the past is changing. This is a time to look inward and allow life to show you, based on who you are now, how you&#8217;re meant to love, create, and express yourself moving forward.</p><p>Seeking external validation or focusing entirely on yourself are both patterns that the lunar nodes in Leo and Aquarius are asking us to outgrow. This axis is teaching us to honor our individuality while remembering that our gifts are ultimately meant to serve something larger than ourselves.</p><p>Give yourself permission to feel conflicted between where life is taking you and where you&#8217;ve been (we just had a lunar nodes shift). Give yourself permission to grieve what no longer fits (Pluto conjunct the Moon). This is a heart-opening moment that brings a kind of soul exfoliation with it.</p><p>The Moon in Aquarius brings an emotional need to understand, to see the bigger picture, and to envision the future. It longs to connect with like-minded people, to find its place within a community, and to contribute something meaningful.</p><p>If that emotional need is emerging, trust that it&#8217;s pointing you toward the path the North Node is gradually revealing. <strong>Feel the motivation, but don&#8217;t rush it</strong>. Aquarius energy can become impatient, but this process takes time. To move toward the North Node (Aquarius) of evolution, we first have to honor the South Node (Leo) by making peace with the past and integrating what it has taught us.</p><p>Right now, we&#8217;re being asked to do Leo well&#8212;to reconnect with the love, the passion, and the fire within our own hearts. That flame must be lit from the inside first so that, in time, it becomes something we offer in service to something greater than ourselves (Aquarius). </p><p>This Full Moon brings insight and revelation, but remember&#8212;we&#8217;re in eclipse season. There are a lot of moving pieces right now. Let the dust settle. Let life rearrange itself. The clues and confirmations will continue to reveal themselves through September 10, when the eclipse window closes.</p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

fetchpriority="high"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>When you think of the good old days, which memories come to mind?</p><p>Because that&#8217;s exactly what this Full Moon is asking you to build&#8212;the good old days, here and now.</p><p>We&#8217;re being asked to take a look at our accomplishments and the goals we&#8217;re working toward, and filter them through the lens of one question: <em>Are they emotionally fulfilling us?</em></p><p>The Sun in Cancer brings our awareness to the heart center. What really matters when it is all said and done?</p><p>And the Moon in Capricorn reflects back what needs more structure, discipline, and commitment.</p><p>The energy of Capricorn is very sobering. It gives us a reality check that can feel like receiving a report card&#8212;showing us where we&#8217;ve done well and where we&#8217;ve been lacking dedication.</p><p>The ruler of this Full Moon, Saturn, is in Aries in a wide square to both the Sun and Moon, suggesting pressure to find balance between work and family, ambition and emotional well-being. It asks us to find the sweet spot between the two by being bold, courageous, and standing up for ourselves.</p><p>It&#8217;s saying: <em>You&#8217;ve got to put your foot down.</em></p><p>Make space for yourself. Make space for your needs. Make space for your goals <em>and</em> your emotional health.</p><p>This requires a great deal of awareness because when you&#8217;ve been dedicating all your energy to one area while neglecting the other, this is the time when the pressure can show up as guilt. The question, <em>What am I doing with my life?</em> can suddenly surface.</p><p>That&#8217;s the thing about Saturn and Capricorn.</p><p>They bring up purpose like an alarm clock ringing in your ear.</p><p>And because Saturn is in Aries, it can show up as a kind of identity crisis.</p><p><em>Who am I now?</em></p><p><em>Who do I want to become?</em></p><p>Full Moons are times of emotional realizations and aha moments. This one shines a light on career, purpose, and life direction.</p><p><em>Where do I want to head next?</em></p><p>Capricorn is the mountaintop. For some, this Full Moon may feel like reaching the summit&#8212;as though they&#8217;ve accomplished what they came here to accomplish and are now ready for a new mountain to climb.</p><p>At the heart of this lunation is a simple reminder:</p><p>Celebrate yourself.</p><p>Capricorn energy isn&#8217;t known for slowing down long enough to enjoy the fruits of its labor, but Jupiter in Cancer is reminding you to please do exactly that.</p><p>Before you set your next goal, take a moment to recognize yourself.</p><p>Capricorn rules public recognition, but giving yourself that recognition first is essential. It lays the foundation for a healthy sense of self-appreciation so that when Jupiter enters Leo, we&#8217;re not looking for external validation. </p><p>The fact that Mercury stations retrograde just a few hours before this Full Moon is a telltale sign that this lunation begins three weeks of redefining what truly fulfills us emotionally&#8212;what actually feels like home now.</p><p>We may feel more sensitive and even nostalgic.</p><p>More forgetful.</p><p>More easily hurt.</p><p>More tired.</p><p>That&#8217;s okay.</p><p>What&#8217;s happening is that we&#8217;re updating our internal records of what we need in order to feel emotionally safe, secure, and protected.</p><p>This is happening while having plenty of wild cards being thrown our way.</p><p>Unexpected situations.</p><p>Sudden changes.</p><p>Surprising events.</p><p>The Mars-Uranus conjunction can bring entirely new experiences. For some, especially the fire and air signs, this can feel exciting and invigorating. For others, like the earth and water signs, it may feel overwhelming or destabilizing.</p><p>The key with Mars and Uranus is nervous system regulation.</p><p>Always.</p><p>When everything outside feels chaotic, come back to your center.</p><p>Come back to your breath.</p><p>Find your inner peace.</p><p>Because no matter what&#8217;s happening around you, your greatest source of stability is the one you create within.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://astroval.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe

Conversations multiply. Information flows endlessly through our phones, our communities, and our minds. We are constantly taking in new perspectives, new possibilities, and new distractions.</p><p>At first, this can feel exciting and inspiring.</p><p>But eventually, the stimulation becomes noise.</p><p>So the invitation of this New Moon in Gemini at 24&#176; is to learn how to discern what deserves your attention and what does not. Because not every thought is meant to be entertained. Not every conversation deserves your energy. And most importantly, not every idea is aligned with where you&#8217;re trying to go.</p><p><mark data-color="#ffe599" style="background-color: rgb(255, 229, 153); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This New Moon offers us an opportunity to cut through the noise and reconnect with a deeper emotional truth that </mark><em><mark data-color="#ffe599" style="background-color: rgb(255, 229, 153); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">reminds</mark></em><mark data-color="#ffe599" style="background-color: rgb(255, 229, 153); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> us why we&#8217;re here and where our energy truly belongs.</mark></p><p>The ruler of this New Moon, Mercury, is traveling through Cancer and forming a supportive sextile to Mars in Taurus. This is beautiful &#8212; think cozy, homey, good-taste, high-quality type of vibe that wants to be delivered in that Gemini area of your chart. Yum! </p><p>Mercury in Cancer asks us to think with our hearts, to slow down and listen to what truly nourishes us. To pay attention to the stories we keep telling ourselves and the thoughts that shape our reality.</p><p><strong>Gemini New Moons are always an invitation to examine our mental landscape.</strong></p><ul><li><p>What thoughts are you rehearsing every day?</p></li><li><p>What beliefs have become habits?</p></li><li><p>What conversations are you avoiding?</p></li></ul><p>This becomes especially important now because Mercury in Cancer is more sensitive than when Mercury is in Gemini. We may find ourselves feeling more affected by information, more aware of the emotional impact of our surroundings, and more easily overwhelmed by external noise.</p><p>This is why retreat becomes medicine.</p><p>Mercury in Cancer reminds us that privacy is sacred. That sometimes the most important conversations happen within the quiet walls of our homes, in our journals, or during moments of solitude.</p><p><strong>Before we can communicate clearly, we must first create space to hear ourselves think.</strong></p><p>And with Mercury preparing to station retrograde on June 29th, we&#8217;re already entering a period of reflection and mental reorganization.</p><p>This New Moon plants the seeds &#8212; the retrograde will help us tend the garden.</p><ul><li><p>What relationship do you want to have with your mind moving forward?</p></li><li><p>What thoughts deserve to be watered?</p></li><li><p>What stories are ready to be released?</p></li></ul><p><strong>At the same time, this lunation is not only about listening inward. It&#8217;s also about finding the courage to speak.</strong></p><p>This is your loving reminder that &#8212; <em>Your voice matters. Your ideas matter. Your perspective matters.</em></p><p>Gemini reminds us that our words are the bridge between our inner world and the outer world. The thoughts we nurture become conversations. Conversations become plans. Plans become actions. Actions become reality.</p><p>This New Moon encourages you to share your message, market your work, have the conversation, write the post, send the email, and speak the truth.</p><p>But before you do&#8230;  P A U S E.</p><p>The days leading up to Sunday&#8217;s New Moon are beautiful for finding clarity within yourself first.</p><p>Mercury in Cancer reminds us that not every thought deserves a microphone. Some thoughts need to be felt before they&#8217;re spoken. Some ideas need to sit in the heart before they&#8217;re shared with the world.</p><p>What are you trying to say? And more importantly, why does it matter to you?</p><p>Let your heart answer first.</p><p>Then let your words follow.</p><p>That inner clarity becomes your compass.</p><h4>Yet as we move through this New Moon, another story merges with it&#8230; </h4><p>Venus in Leo is beginning to square Chiron, while Chiron prepares to enter Taurus on July 19th. Soon after, Jupiter&#8217;s journey will start in Leo to amplify this healing process even further.</p><p>Together, these transits are having us put our hand in our heart and find the answers to these questions:</p><p><em>What must be healed for you to fully be seen?</em></p><p>There is a desire to shine, a desire to create, a desire to share your gifts with the world.</p><p>But alongside that desire, old insecurities may surface &#8212; Questioning your worthiness and value. Questioning your spending habits. And asking you to trust your ability to create abundance! </p><p><em>This is where the healing happens.</em></p><p>Because every expansion asks something of us. Something must be surrendered.</p><p>Whether it&#8217;s an outdated story, a limiting belief, an old identity, fear of judgment, habit of playing small.</p><p>As Venus continues her journey and moves

The rhythm changes daily &#8212; different conversations, different directions, different versions of yourself showing up depending on the hour. The invitation is to enjoy that multiplicity rather than fight it. That said, Gemini season has a way of making the practical stuff easy to skip over. The appointments that need scheduling, the to-do list items that aren&#8217;t exactly thrilling &#8212; those still need tending to. Earthly matters don&#8217;t disappear just because the air gets interesting.</p><h3>Now let&#8217;s bring in Uranus into the conversation&#8230; </h3>

I always love seeing graduation pictures during this lunar cycle because Sagittarius is deeply connected to education, wisdom, travel, and the experiences that expand us beyond who we once were.</p><h2>What feels different about this Full Moon is that Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, is now in Cancer &#8212; the sign of home, ancestry, roots, belonging, and emotional grounding.</h2><p>It&#8217;s as if we&#8217;re realizing how far we&#8217;ve drifted from ourselves while trying to become someone. There&#8217;s a call now to come back home &#8212; not to the same place or in the same way you once left it, of course not&#8230; how could you? You&#8217;re not the same person anymore.</p><p>This is about truly arriving somewhere after years of searching. Unpacking after constantly feeling like there was more to learn, more to do, more to become. A settling into where you are. Rooting into this space, this land, this body, this life. Integrating your traditions, your ancestry, your heritage into the present moment instead of abandoning them in the pursuit of growth.</p><p>There&#8217;s a reason why in astrology Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, meaning it&#8217;s one of its favorite places to be outside of Sagittarius itself. Nothing gives us more confidence to explore life than emotional grounding. Having a sense of belonging. Feeling safe, supported, nourished &#8212; not only by a physical home, but by our people, by our lineage, by the feeling that something greater stands behind us.</p><p>That support gives us the courage to go far and wide, like a tree that grows deeper roots as it gets taller.</p><div><hr></div><p>The Sun in Gemini brings awareness to all the many things competing for our attention right now &#8212; the curiosities, ideas, conversations, possibilities, and interests pulling us in different directions. Meanwhile, the Moon in Sagittarius asks us to choose something meaningful and grow through it.</p><p>With Uranus now in Gemini, the things exciting us may feel unfamiliar, unconventional, or outside of what we normally identify with. There can be insecurity around this simply because we lack experience. And that&#8217;s the reminder right now: we often distract ourselves with what feels comfortable instead of committing to what feels alive.</p><p>If you find yourself starting many things but struggling to develop them deeply, this Full Moon is a reminder that </p>

feels excessive, draining, performative, or unsustainable. We may feel this physically through the body itself, through a desire for more rest, more grounding, more silence, more presence, and ultimately more intention with where our life force is going.</p><p><em>Because what Taurus asks is very simple: </em><strong>What truly matters to you now?</strong></p><p>Taurus does not want us scattering our energy in ten different directions. It wants us rooted, present, committed, and focused on what can actually grow over time.</p><p>I was just in the mountains of my homeland, Colombia, surrounded by nature and people who deeply care for and steward the land, and being there reminded me of something important about Taurus energy that tends to get put in second place. Taurus is not only about pleasure, beauty, sensuality, softness, good food, or the deliciousness of life. Taurus is also about devotion.</p><p>It is about tending to the land, or whatever it is that you deeply care about. It is about showing up consistently, cultivating something over time, and protecting what you value enough to nourish it with your energy, your attention, and your care.</p><p><code>Taurus teaches us that beauty requires commitment. </code></p><p>What we want to sustain, we must commit to. What we want to grow, we must nourish. What we want to someday enjoy and experience fully with all the yummyness and pleasure that can be experienced in the body, we must first be willing to tend to patiently and consistently in the present moment.</p><p>And this New Moon is asking exactly that of us.</p><p>Wherever Taurus lives in your chart is showing you where life is asking you to become more grounded, more intentional, more reliable, and more devoted to what genuinely matters to you, not from pressure or survival mode, but from love and a sincere desire to build something meaningful over time.</p><p>Because when Taurus energy is aligned, work no longer feels disconnected from the heart.</p><p>Taurus rules the realm of work, money, resources, values, and self-worth, and what this New Moon reminds us is that when we are investing our energy into something we genuinely value, effort begins to feel different. Yes, dedication is still required. Yes, consistency is still required. But nothing like the kind of nourishment and pleasure that comes from building something that is actually aligned with your soul.</p><p>There is satisfaction in knowing your energy is no longer being poured into something empty. There is meaning in cultivating a life that reflects your values, even if it takes time. And this is part of the abundance Taurus promises us, not instant gratification, but the ability to eventually enjoy the fruits of what we have patiently nurtured over time.</p><p>This New Moon is also inviting us to cultivate the capacity to hold more. More abundance. More beauty. More support. More stability. More blessings. But Taurus reminds us that our nervous system must also be able to sustain what we are asking for.</p><ul><li><p><em>Can you hold what you desire without immediately spiraling into overwhelm? </em></p></li><li><p><em>Can you build at a pace that your body actually feels safe receiving what you are calling in? </em></p></li><li><p><em>Can you work from gratitude instead of depletion?</em></p></li></ul><p>There is something deeply sacred about becoming a steward for the life you are asking to receive, and that feels like one of the deepest teachings of this New Moon.</p><blockquote><p>With every New Moon, the Sun and Moon come together in the sky, with the Sun representing conscious awareness and the Moon representing the subconscious, emotional, instinctual parts of ourselves. During a New Moon, the light of the Sun illuminates something that has quietly been living within us all along, a desire, a longing, a truth, a need that perhaps we had not fully allowed ourselves to acknowledge before.</p><p>And suddenly there is this internal recognition of what our soul has truly been trying to cultivate.</p><p>That is why New Moons are not only external beginnings. They are internal realizations.

innovation, insight, originality, and radical authenticity. There is an invitation here to think differently, to stop trying to fit into boxes that no longer feel true, and to stop worrying so much about whether everyone fully understands you.</p><p>Because this New Moon carries a very strong message that your sustainability is deeply connected to your authenticity.</p><p>The more honest you are about who you truly are, the more your natural gifts begin stabilizing your life.</p><p>Taurus works with what is natural, which is why this New Moon is asking us to trust our natural rhythm, our natural talents, our natural voice, and the things that come most authentically to us instead of constantly trying to force ourselves into ways of being that don&#8217;t actually fit.</p><p>And with Uranian energy involved, there is something powerful about allowing yourself to be fully seen in your uniqueness without feeling the need to overcorrect it or make yourself more digestible for others. In many ways, that authenticity is exactly where the magnetism and abundance are trying to emerge from right now.</p><p>The ruler of this New Moon, Venus, is in Gemini, reminding us to connect, communicate, share, and exchange ideas. Venus in Gemini wants us telling our stories, sharing our perspectives, connecting with like-minded people, and allowing conversation itself to become part of the healing and inspiration.</p><p>And with Venus forming a sextile to Mars in Aries, there is courage available to put yourself out there in a new way. Yes, Chiron is involved too, which means there may still be tenderness around visibility, self-expression, rejection, confidence, or being misunderstood. There is a low-grade ache many people are feeling right now around fully standing in themselves and trusting their own voice.</p><p>But this astrology is helping us rewrite the way we take action, the way we advocate for ourselves, the way we pursue what we want, and the way we trust our instincts.</p><p>This New Moon is about trusting who you already are enough to build a life around it.</p><h2><em><strong>Horoscopes &amp; Ritual </strong></em></h2>

isn&#8217;t built by adding more good habits. It&#8217;s built by removing what contradicts it.</h3><p>You don&#8217;t become more aligned by layering on more journaling, more rituals, more healing work &#8212; while still entertaining what drains you. You become aligned, magnetic, attractive, when you stop choosing what isn&#8217;t aligned with what you love, value, and find sacred.</p><p><em><strong>So the question this full moon is asking:</strong></em> </p><p>What are you still holding onto that doesn&#8217;t love you back? That keeps you in survival mode? That feels familiar but no longer feels right?</p><p>At the core of all of this is one thing: <em>safety</em>.</p><p>Taurus wants you to feel safe, stable, and grounded in yourself. And what that looks like is different for everyone.</p><p>For some, it means discipline. Saving. Building structure. For others it&#8217;s the opposite &#8212; spending, circulating, letting themselves experience pleasure without guilt. Both can be exactly right, depending on what you need.</p><p><strong>The question to ask yourself is: does it actually make you feel at peace within your body? Not like you&#8217;re controlling or distracting yourself &#8212; but like you can breathe again. Like you&#8217;re okay with where you&#8217;re at.</strong></p><p>That&#8217;s the essence of Taurus. A calmness that comes not from certainty, but from trust.</p><h3>Taurus also rules your natural gifts. What you have to offer. And Scorpio reflects our ability to own that &#8212; to step into our power and let others receive real value from what comes naturally to us.</h3><p>This full moon has a way of revealing where we&#8217;re undervaluing ourselves. Where we&#8217;re thinking: it comes so easily to me, I shouldn&#8217;t charge for this. That belief is exactly the imbalance this moon is here to surface.</p><p>Pluto, the ruler of this Full Moon, is in Aquarius, forming a trine to Venus in Gemini. You&#8217;re being given a real chance to change your mind about yourself. To see your value differently. To stop downplaying what you bring to the table.</p><p>Your voice matters more than you think right now. Use it.</p><h3>The Moon is also supported by Jupiter in Cancer, opening up emotional depth and a connection to your lineage. </h3><p>Think of the ancestors who want to see you thrive &#8212; nudging you, counseling you through your own intuition. This full moon wants to help you trust your senses more. Your job is simply to lean into them.</p><div class="pullquote"><p>On the other side of the Scorpio Moon is the Sun in Taurus, steady and warm, reminding you that you will still be supported. That even through change, you are held. The sun will rise again, the trees will give their fruit, the birds will sing again, even after a storm.</p></div><p>So if you take anything from this Full Moon, let it be this: you don&#8217;t need to try harder, prove yourself, or become someone else. Whatever is shifting is just peeling away what&#8217;s no longer you, to reveal something deeper.</p><p>And to get there, you&#8217;re simply being asked to stop choosing what doesn&#8217;t serve you.

But maybe focusing on landing a new job is getting in the way of something more immediate, like improving the conditions of the job you already have. This is the kind of energy that serves us what we need. We just have to be ready to receive it.</p><p>With so many planets gathered in Aries, this lunation is asking us to be bold and daring &#8212; to step up and have the courage to be the greatest expression of ourselves. And the beautiful thing is that this isn&#8217;t something we have to force. It&#8217;s happening almost effortlessly. We&#8217;re being empowered to step into bigger shoes and given the energy to actually fill them.</p><p>Mars, the ruler of this lunation, is in Aries alongside Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune. This is a loaded concentration of energy, and it&#8217;s not just about slowing down and having a plan. It&#8217;s about noticing when we&#8217;re getting in our own way.</p><p>Mars and Mercury in Aries can make us want things on our own terms &#8212; my way, my timeline, my vision of how it all has to look. But Saturn is here to strip away the excess, whatever doesn&#8217;t fully support our long-term success and life purpose. And Neptune is the reminder to have faith in what we cannot yet see &#8212; to trust the invisible hand that&#8217;s guiding us toward something we may not have the full picture of yet.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Together, they&#8217;re asking us to believe greatly in ourselves and in the endless possibilities that exist to get us to where we&#8217;re ready to go next.</strong></p><div><hr></div><p>This is also a social new moon. We&#8217;re being called to go out there, connect with community, and not be afraid to take up space as our most authentic selves. The people around us carry incredible opportunities &#8212; but we have to show up and be willing to be seen. And yes, when we dare to step boldly, some might be repelled. That&#8217;s okay!

moment particularly significant. The wounds around being big, being seen, standing up for yourself, and what you love are being highlighted. Chiron always brings opportunities to heal, and it reminds us that healing isn&#8217;t linear. We&#8217;re brought back to what was once painful, to learn how to squeeze the medicine out of those experiences. Just remember to take time for yourself to sort through the teachings that are coming through. It&#8217;s a fast-paced week, and we might need to consciously choose a moment to pause and process this moment. </p><div><hr></div><p>There&#8217;s also a YOD formed by Pluto in Aquarius and Mars in Aries, pointing directly to the South Node in Virgo. This is a purge. It&#8217;s asking us to look at how we manage our energy, how we show up in the world, how we speak our truth. Virgo here is purifying the self-criticism, the pressure to be perfect, the habit of being hard on ourselves. This YOD to the South Node reinforces the central theme of this whole lunation: let go of needing every detail figured out. Let go of needing it to go according to your plan.</p><p>The work of this new moon is in being incredibly honest with yourself. Take a moment to pause and question your motives. </p><p><em>Why do you want what you want? </em></p><p>Strip it back until you get to the core experience you&#8217;re actually looking to have. Because maybe the road you&#8217;re insisting on isn&#8217;t the only one that leads to the destination you&#8217;re truly looking for.</p><p>Don&#8217;t give up on yourself, just surrender your expectations. This is an incredibly humbling and empowering moment. </p><p>New Moon Blessings! </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://astroval.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Cosmic Garden By AstroVal is a reader-supported publication.

And more importantly, it&#8217;s asking something of you.</p><p>Aries season is the force that pushes through to bring forth new life. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re moving through right now. We&#8217;re in the process of birthing something.</p><p>Collectively, and in our individual lives, something is moving through us that marks the end of life as we&#8217;ve known it, and the beginning of a new way of establishing ourselves. Where Aries lives in your chart will show you where this is unfolding.</p><p>But this isn&#8217;t something you snap your fingers and complete overnight. There is a process that could take years to really see the results (Saturn and Neptune take years to transit through a sign). But as the planets accumulate in the sign of Aries, it tells us to pay attention to the events and situations that are guiding you toward an initiation, because they are not random. </p><div

It asks us to stand up for ourselves, to fight for what we love. With Neptune and Saturn in Aries for the first time in our lifetime, a new dream and a new set of responsibilities are being seeded in the Aries area of our chart.</p><p>Last week, Venus in Aries crossed over Chiron, the wounded healer, reminding us to check in with our relationship to ourselves. Our dreams, our pain, what drives us, what we <em>like</em> and <em>don&#8217;t</em> like about where we are right now, all of it matters. It&#8217;s important to notice this, because Venus has now entered Taurus and, since Venus rules Libra, she becomes the protagonist of this Full Moon.</p><p>While Venus in Aries asked for self-reflection and reclaiming confidence, Venus in Taurus asks for alignment with our values and our worth. The Moon in Libra reflects this back to us through our relationships. </p><ul><li><p><em>What is truly important to you now</em>, as the Aries area of your life is asking for your attention. </p></li><li><p>Venus shows you your resources. What&#8217;s the budget? How much is needed? What are your talents, and how can you put them to work for you? </p></li><li><p>The Moon shows you who is coming along, and what needs to be adjusted in your relationship agreements so everyone is on the same page.</p></li></ul><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lY6F!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lY6F!, /__u/astroval.substack.com/w_424, /__u/astroval.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/astroval.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/astroval.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/astroval.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lY6F!, /__u/astroval.substack.com/w_848, /__u/astroval.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/astroval.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/astroval.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/astroval.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lY6F!, /__u/astroval.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/astroval.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/astroval.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/astroval.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/astroval.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lY6F!, /__u/astroval.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/astroval.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/astroval.substack.com/f_webp, /__u/astroval.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/astroval.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lY6F!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic" width="736" height="218" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:218,&quot;width&quot;:736,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:25687,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/heic&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://astroval.substack.com/i/192680752?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="/__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lY6F!, /__u/astroval.substack.com/w_424, /__u/astroval.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/astroval.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/astroval.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/astroval.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic 424w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lY6F!, /__u/astroval.substack.com/w_848, /__u/astroval.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/astroval.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/astroval.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/astroval.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic 848w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lY6F!, /__u/astroval.substack.com/w_1272, /__u/astroval.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/astroval.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/astroval.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/astroval.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic 1272w, /__u/substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!lY6F!, /__u/astroval.substack.com/w_1456, /__u/astroval.substack.com/c_limit, /__u/astroval.substack.com/f_auto, /__u/astroval.substack.com/q_auto:good, /__u/astroval.substack.com/fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F345d6d86-2a75-4ba7-a8e8-1fa62d1700a9_736x218.heic 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The key to this Full Moon is communication. Mercury, the planet of communication, is still in Pisces after its retrograde, forming a trine to Jupiter in Cancer&#8230; and Jupiter also squares the Full Moon. The gift here is emotional understanding. There is more compassion available, more willingness to meet each other with softness.</p><p>The challenge is that this energy can be dreamy, even indulgent. There&#8217;s a tendency to focus on best-case scenarios without fully considering what happens if things don&#8217;t go as planned. This is not the time to make decisions based on emotional impulses. It is the time to have the conversations about what needs to happen next, and to make decisions from a place of thoughtful consideration.</p><p>As Venus in Taurus begins to square Pluto in Aquarius, an inner tension builds&#8230;</p><p>One part of us wants grounding, reliability, simplicity, and to feel sure of who we are and what we have to offer. Another part wants space, detachment, and change, and may bring up the fear of not being fully understood or accepted. Power dynamics may surface over the next week, asking us to notice where we are resisting transformation.</p><p>Where are you holding on too tightly? Where are you wanting change, but also afraid to let go? Where are you doubting yourself, your talent, your value?</p><p>This is the reminder: something has to give. </p><p>You must release to make space for what is trying to come in, and acknowledge what you have to offer and how it can impact your community. This is about trusting yourself, and the universe, enough to know that no matter what, you&#8217;ll be okay.</p><p></p><p>How this shows up for you through the Aries, Libra, Taurus, and Aquarius areas of your chart:</p><h3><strong>&#8212; Horoscopes &#8212; </strong></h3>

We make our plans, we think we know how things should look, and then comes watery Pisces to wash us clean of anything that isn&#8217;t in alignment with our soul&#8217;s agreement. Because we all signed up for a very specific set of experiences before we incarnated, and between Pisces season and the eclipse gate that started on January 18th and ends with this new moon, we&#8217;ve been getting reminded of how close or how far we are from that soul promise.</p><p>A new moon at the final degrees of Pisces feels like a direct reconnection with a lost dream &#8212; something you had forgotten or been afraid to claim as something you actually want. This is a reminder of your soul&#8217;s contract.</p><h4>Mercury, the North Node &amp; the Mindset Shift</h4><p>Just two days after the new moon, on March 20th, Mercury stations direct while sitting right next to the North Node, the point of evolution.</p><p>This tells us we&#8217;ve been reconnecting with our past, healing old stories that left us with a mindset that no longer supports where we&#8217;re heading. The invitation is to look back at what you&#8217;ve endured &#8212; the stories that made you feel helpless, unmotivated, like a victim &#8212; and give them new meaning.</p><h5><em>That happened, and it taught me ____. That was then, this is now. I&#8217;m a different person.</em></h5><p>This doesn&#8217;t mean bypassing the emotion &#8212; the anger, the sadness, all of it is valid. But the point is to revisit those stories without being consumed by them. To give them the understanding you couldn&#8217;t access at the time. </p><p>Having Mercury along with the North Node tells us that = the way you think right now is what&#8217;s making you take a quantum leap.</p><h4>What Makes This New Moon Extra Special</h4><p>Two days after this new moon, we don&#8217;t just get Mercury direct &#8212; we also get the Spring Equinox, which is the astrological new year and the real start to 2026. And what makes it truly extraordinary: the Sun entering Aries on March 20th meets Neptune and Saturn in Aries for the first time in our lifetime.</p><p>Here&#8217;s the sequence: we plant the seed of a new dream with the new moon in Pisces, then the equinox energy moves it into action. With Neptune and Saturn now in Aries, this will feel like a genuine destiny point. Whatever is seeding right now, the actions you take toward those goals will have a long-lasting impact on what you build and call success.</p><p><a href="/__u/open.substack.com/pub/astroval/p/what-you-need-to-know-about-neptune?r=22aye2&amp;utm_medium=ios">All the Saturn &amp; Neptune in Aries rules need to be considered &#8212; here&#8217;s a reminder of those. </a></p><h4>The Last New Moon with Uranus in Taurus</h4><p>The new moon forms a sextile to Uranus at the final degrees of Taurus &#8212; this is the last new moon with Uranus here after a seven-year transit. Since 2018, Uranus in Taurus has been teaching us to innovate, to create stability differently, to dare to do things in new ways. The message now: open your mind, let yourself be surprised, dare to reinvent.</p><h4>Jupiter Square Venus: Give and Receive</h4><p>Jupiter in Cancer squaring Venus in Aries, is a reminder to notice if you&#8217;ve been too self-focused or if you&#8217;ve forgotten about yourself while taking care of others. This is a moment that requires us to do both. It&#8217;s an art, not always easy, but important to care for yourself while also being nurturing to those around you. </p><h4>This Is a Maturity Point</h4><p>This is an emotionally charged moment &#8212; you&#8217;re claiming soul memories and dreams that can feel scary. But the closer you live to your soul&#8217;s agreement, the more abundance you&#8217;ll experience. Not just material, but emotional fulfillment. Your soul came here with a purpose, and living it is what brings that deep sense of satisfaction.</p><h5><strong>Here&#8217;s how this can play out in real life: </strong></h5><p>Someone who&#8217;s had many unsuccessful relationships convinces themselves that love just isn&#8217;t for them &#8212; too much work, too much pain. During this Pisces season, they finally face the soul calling they&#8217;ve been avoiding. With Mercury retrograde, they do the inner work of reframing the past &#8212; from victimhood into empowerment. They start believing they&#8217;re capable of healthy love. And then, six months to a year later (that&#8217;s the timeframe that new moons work in), someone completely unexpected walks in. They still know relationships take work &#8212; but it&#8217;s something I&#8217;m willing to work for. <em><strong>The mindset is everything.</strong></em></p><div

Jupiter is the philosopher-teacher that helps us see things with optimism &#8212; its lessons invite us to step outside our comfort zone, to grow, and to expand our capacity to receive and be abundant.</p><p>Jupiter has been transiting Cancer since June 2025 and will complete its visit in July 2026. This has been a time to examine our relationship with our emotional health and tend to those needs &#8212; coming home to ourselves. Really opening up to feeling comfortable in our own skin and accepting the cards we&#8217;ve been dealt: where we came from, our lineage, the family storyline, our childhood, and how we were parented. Jupiter has been inviting us to heal the need for it to have been different &#8212; and through that acceptance, give new meaning to the role we play in our lineage, our family, and how we parent. That starts with taking responsibility for our emotional needs and how we hold our own household.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Eclipse in Aquarius two weeks ago downloaded the vision of your new timeline &#8212; it was all about your ego and personality, accepting who you are becoming. And this one in Virgo is how you&#8217;re going to sustain that vision &#8212; making the necessary changes in your lifestyle to incarnate the next level of you&#8230; this is more about your emotional realm and your body. </p><p>This is a TOTAL eclipse, the most potent kind, occurring when the sun and moon are closest to the lunar nodes, its effects are especially powerful because they make us see the unavoidable. </p><p>LUNAR eclipses illuminate the &#8220;shadow self,&#8221; the hidden, subconscious aspects of our lives, revealing truths, fears, and patterns that are ready to be addressed.</p><p>VIRGO rules the day-to-day. Our routines, our work environment, our soulful service, and the vessel of the soul itself: our body and how we care for it. It governs the physical spaces we live in, our organization systems, our productivity, our drive for improvement. It&#8217;s about washing the dishes, doing the laundry, making the payments, offering your services, brushing your teeth, taking your supplements, walking the dog, feeding the cat, driving the kids, scheduling the oil change. All of it, every unglamorous bit of it, done from a place of honor and humility.</p><p>Whatever feels like a sacrifice or a burden will be revealed and eclipsed, whether our mindset around it shifts or the thing itself is released entirely. There is a new awareness emerging around the agreements, spoken or unspoken, where you&#8217;ve been giving everything to everyone and leaving nothing for yourself. There is an awareness of where you&#8217;ve been playing the victim, and a path opening up to lead you out. The mindset and habits that no longer serve are being let go, because whatever creates deep emotional burden eventually shows up in the body. Physical conditions become the final wake-up call, asking us to take responsibility for the way we live our lives and what we allow into them.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://astroval.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/astroval.substack.com/subscribe"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>This eclipse is also bringing awareness to what needs to be organized, what is still pending, what needs to be refined. But what we&#8217;re learning is that we no longer have to operate from a place of pressure. No more needing to be perfect or proving our worth through productivity. We&#8217;re learning to do it with love and acceptance. Find the sacred in it first. Then take action.</p><p>There is always room for improvement. That&#8217;s our human impulse for evolution, to always grow and change. But it is our mindset around that impulse that makes all the difference. We must love and appreciate where we are and what we have already created. Even if it wasn&#8217;t our best or most polished work, we did what we could with who we were at that time. And with new awareness comes the natural desire to improve, which is such a healthy and beautiful thing. Just make sure you give yourself grace along the way. </p><p>Look how far you&#8217;ve come! Give yourself appreciation for all that you&#8217;ve already done. Yes, there is more to achieve and work still ahead, but that&#8217;s the joy of it. That&#8217;s why your soul chose this body, to get the job done. And we do it little by little. Taking care of the details, the small daily tasks, is what makes it possible to conquer the big mountains we have yet to climb.</p><p>This is the moment to feel grateful for everything you get to tend to in your day-to-day. Do it with your whole heart and recalibrate what isn&#8217;t genuine. Ask for help with the things that feel heavy. You were never meant to carry it all alone.</p><p>Ask, and you shall receive.&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;&#8203;<br><br><em>No rituals is best during eclipses. Just sit back and observe what is being asked of you. Let yourself be provided for and guided. </em></p><p>Sending you the best wishes of calm, discernment, and self-warenes during these in-between moments! </p><p><a
