Pink Moon Tonight!

Happy Pink Moon!

And what is so special about this full moon, you ask?

One, a full moon is a time when energies reach their peak. New moon manifestations should come to fruition at this time.

It’s also an opposition: Sun opposite moon, meaning it illuminates areas we need to mediate in our lives. With the Sun in Aries, this full moon is illuminating our relationships vs. ourselves. With many people in isolation at this time, either alone or with family, this moon is asking us to take stock of what matters to us in how we relate to the other. For more details, look at what house this moon (and the sun) are illuminating.

1st/7th House

This placement is the most straightforward, especially with an Aries/Libra opposition. You need to spend time practicing self-care because you spend too much time taking care of others. Conversely, you need to pay attention to the needs of those around you and be more considerate. There’s self-care, realizing that you need to put your oxygen mask on first before you can assist others, and then there’s being selfish: putting your wants ahead other others’ needs.

2nd/8th House

This is highlighting your relationship with people concerning money. Is there a fair, equitable give-and-take between you and someone else? Are you prone to chase the dough, or do you let that fall to others? Now is a good time to go over what you own and what other people are giving you.

For people looking to start a business, now is a good time for opportunities to present themselves for investors or clients.

This is also a transformation-station, with the eighth house involved. Reflect on how your life is transforming and use this time, like a butterfly in a chrysalis, to develop new habits you can implement once you’re out.

3rd/9th House

This one is all about communication. For some of you, it also speaks to your yearning to travel at this time. It can feel really frustrating for people trapped in the house right now, especially people with this placement. Take stock of why you want to go out, and maybe plan for the future. What do you want to do that you haven’t been able to do?

4th/10th

Family and career. How has quarantine affected your work/life balance? Are you free to spend more time with loved ones, or are you free to pursue new opportunities? Reflect on what’s important at this time.

Another possibility is the dichotomy between private and public life. By being inside, how can you better cultivate a rich, private life or how can you plan to re-emerge as your public self once this is over?

5th/11th

You may be feeling disconnected from your social circles at this time or taking this time to focus on creativity. This is my placement, and I feel a little freer to create the things and reach out to my social circle today. Like, as I write this, I have an urge to paint, paint, paint! Or draw, or keep blogging, or cook awesome food! I would say this is one of the better places to have this full moon, as you’ll be feeling strong inspiration and connection at this time.

If you have any hard aspects (the moon/sun is squaring or opposing a natal planet of yours), though, beware of drama online, with your kids, or in relationships (especially if you’re in the dating phase).

6th/12th

How are your relationships affecting your health? Have you been social distancing as much as you should? Your physical and mental health is coming into focus today and tomorrow.

Also, if the moon is in your 12th, be on the lookout for vivid, powerful dreams tonight, especially if they’re about relationships. Conversely, keep your mental health in check. Practice self-care, like meditating or taking a bath.
