Being the second full moon of the month, this is another blue moon (we had one in January 2018). The theme for this moon is Balance.
It is a good time to reflect on what is in balance and what feels out of balance. Practice gratitude and ask for support. Include prayers for all your relations as balance is sorely needed everywhere.
Spend some time during this moon reflecting on what needs balance in your life and then implement something to honor your commitment to include more balance in your life.

The biggest one in our culture is usually the balance between being and doing, between the masculine and the feminine. This is a big theme these days and any focus you put on this issue in your own life will greatly benefit the whole as well. So where are you out of balance? Too much Doing? Too much Being? Too much negative Feminine (resentment, inertia, martyrdom, depression) or to much negative Masculine (anxiety, sleeplessness, overwork, aggression, anger, impatience)? 

Look to nature for healing. Spend some time in nature and receive the healing and the imprint for good balance that nature can provide. Practice being, listening, taking more time, resting etc., if you are a too much “doing” person, and bring in more action, physical activity, projects and proactive choices if you are stuck in too much “being”. 
Blessings, 
Lena

Full Moon in Libra

(March 31, 12:36 PM Greenwich Mean Time)
 
With each cycle of the Sun through a sign we celebrate and honor the Moon receiving full impact of the Sun’s mighty rays as the Sun and Moon stand in exact opposition creating a Full Moon.  With the Sun traveling through Aries now, our Full Moon is in Libra, sign of the partner, our relationships and the projections created with this intimate, personal axis of the Self (Aries) and the Other (Libra). 
 
This Full Moon will bring into intense foreground how our relationships reflect like a mirror who we are and what we are grappling with in our inner realms and projecting outwards onto our partners. 
There is complexity to the Full Moon:  Mercury travels with the Sun and is retrograde until April 15 and not fully out of its shadow period, regaining the degree where it began its retrograde until May 3rd.  It’s a time to reconsider our language and how our inner thoughts affect our vitality and self-esteem, also how we consider others when we speak and how conscious we are of the impact of what we express.  And, are we giving ourselves the freedom to truly express who we are?  Something to consider during the gift of Mercury retrograde in Aries.

Even with Mercury currently retrograde in Aries, much can be accomplished this week as the lunar tide peaks to full on Saturday, March 31 when it is a Blue Moon in Libra, the second Full Moon of the calendar month. Libra is the opposite sign to Aries that challenges both Mercury and Uranus to bring forth greater realizations and awareness for you to consider. Finding the higher road and ways to realign for balance and well placed seeds of growth is the energy and helpfulness available to you. Reflective energy is all around you so strive to remain balanced with perspective and what you elect to do." By: Sandra Helton

Equinox this year, March 20/21, is more potent than usual, it is a time of raising our awareness, and deep and sudden healing opportunities leading us into the renewal energy of Eastertime.
 
It is not always obvious, but there is a higher purpose to your life, you have unique gifts and talents that make a contribution to life.  We call this our ‘life purpose’ and the form it takes can vary over one’s lifetime, but not the essence of it.  Your life purpose is what gives you energy, it energizes you, you feel enthused, spirited, it’s the things you love doing.  It can be as simple (and profound) as making others feel at ease, or making people laugh, or it can be as profound (and simple) as being a great scientist or leader of people.  It is always what you are naturally drawn to.  It is not necessarily easy to do, it will have its challenges.

*NEW MOON* in Pisces on March 17th is being called a healing Moon, for it will reveal much that is needing to be healed.
With a lot of fiery energy in the air, it’s vital to take deep breaths, slow down and take time to turn inward for reflection and revelation.
These seas must be traversed with much compassion for self and other.
This current passage has the potential to bring about a great healing, as we feel and address the spaces that have been stirring deep pain for us.
We have an opportunity to become more aware in the midst, opening our hearts and our perceptions.
We are all in the ongoing process of personal and collective evolution, and everyday we are being challenged to surrender the choices that bind and open up to new way, while holding ourselves and others ever so gently.
Here are the MYSTIC MAMMA Astral Insights from our beloved readers of the planetary movements. First from the insightful PAM YOUNGHANS from her North Point Astrology:
“A lot has happened over the last eight weeks! As we move through the days before Saturday’s New Moon, it is a good time to breathe through and release any tension that we are holding onto.
“If we can accept and allow what has been rather than fighting against it, we are better prepared to take advantage of the new lunar cycle and to welcome its gifts… 
“Jupiter in Scorpio (which just went retrograde March 9th) sends us on a journey into the depths of our collective psyche, into realms that we might often avoid because they seem too dark.
“With this influence in effect, we have more courage to face difficult issues that until now have been ignored or hidden.
“Jupiter reveals secrets while in Scorpio, bringing to light an intricate web of intrigue.
“As we acknowledge truth, we transmute the fear and other negative emotions that have held us captive. 
“Eventually, we emerge as more empowered beings, having learned that we are capable of navigating through the darkness.
“As a result, we do not merely survive the journey; instead, we triumph…”
“The Sun and Moon are closely conjunct Chiron at that time, allowing us to call this a Healing and Completion Moon.
“While in Pisces, Chiron is both revealing and healing the wound of separation — from our source and from each other.
“As we heal, we let go of the need to control, compartmentalize, and judge…
“The planet Mars is in late Sagittarius…conjunct the asteroid Vesta and closely square the New Moon. This adds a note of contention to the event, representing a thorn in our side.
“In spite of our Piscean yearning to be cosmically in tune, in unity, and at peace, we continue to deal with conflicts of belief.
“We still judge, usually perceiving ourselves as right and others as wrong, keeping the battle alive both internally and externally.
“The message of this New Moon is one of great healing, but the square to Mars/Vesta indicates an obstacle to that healing, through our ego’s need to identify with a cause.
“The enormous question remains: How can we be true to our ideals, take action according to what we believe in, while also adopting and integrating the concept of oneness?
“This is not an easy task, even for the most high minded or spiritually inclined. It truly takes a release of attachment and an elevation of perspective to embrace this paradox while maintaining the strength of our convictions.”

We are having a New Moon in Pisces which will occur on March 17th at 1:12pm Universal Time. New Moon's are the start of a new 29 day Lunar Cycle which ushers in a new wave of energy for the coming month. The themes of this New Moon are strongest over the following 10 days until we start to transition into the energies of the next Full Moon.

In the backdrop of the New Moon themes mentioned below, we will be having our next edition of Mercury Retrograde starting on March 22nd-23rd and that will last until the next New Moon on April 15th. The pre-shadow period began on March 8th, and since then, some of the things in which we have been applying ourselves towards will go through a sorting out process during the retrograde. We will also be shown things in a different light helping us to make changes and adjustments.

If you can, it would be wise not to  make any big purchases at this time of products that can be affected, which includes communication technology like computers and phones as well as vehicles or anything with moving parts. If you make any of these purchases now, or perhaps if they were made since March 8th, there is a higher probability of experiencing unanticipated complications over the next month or perhaps even after the retrograde period itself.

New Moon In Pisces Conjunct Chiron and Square Mars In Sagittarius
We have been in Pisces season since February 18th, a period which helps to heighten our sensitivities, creative expression, compassion, forgiveness, dreams, fantasies, and spirituality. Negatively, this energy could have also stimulated confusion, deception, escapism, lack of detail, and flakiness. This previous lunar cycle began with a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius which has generally been about shifts in friendships and our social networks, which may have played out in a Piscean way for some people throughout the last month.
