Full Moon in Libra Writing Prompts + Ritual—Release + Revitalize

Full moons are always oppositions, so the moon in Libra sits across the sky—staring down, and reflecting the light—from the sun in Aries. Libra, as the opposite sign from Aries, is deeply concerned with connection and relationship to others. Where Aries is “I am,” Libra is “I balance.” Libra’s focus is on finding balance through connection and compromise to the other. The Libra-Aries axis, then, is about finding balance and integration between an independent individualistic sense of self and a being integrated into an interdependent network.

Full Blue Hunter’s Moon in Taurus Creative Writing Prompts + Ritual

Taurus is the sign of earthly-delight, of deep embodiment, of the willingness to fully incarnate on this planet, in this life—and to revel in it. While the sun in Scorpio—sign of the depths, the shadows, the repressed, the taboo underbelly, the sexual, death and loss and grief—reminds us that this delight does not come through spiritual or political bypassing—does not come through spraying flowery-affirmation perfume over the pile of shit we’re wading in. But neither does it come through remaining stuck in dark and shadowy underworlds.

We must travel through the deep, the buried, the subconscious—facing our shadows and our shit—shoveling them up, turning them over, roiling and fermenting them into the compost which feeds our earthly gardens.

Full Moon in Aries Creative Writing Prompt + Ritual—Honor Thy Anger

Libra season continues the harvest and pushes us into the time of balancing, the time of the equinox. Libra is the scale—of decisions, of choice, of justice. Libra asks us to weigh what we are willing to give, and to give up for justice. What are we as individuals (moon in Aries) willing to offer and compromise in our relationships and, as a society, for collective equity (sun in Libra)?

This balance chaffs against the individual fires of the moon in Aries—sign of individualism, passion, the movement of spring, the strength and courage of the seed to break open in the dark of soil and move toward the sunlight. With Mars retrograde here in Aries too, well, we’ve got some tension simmering.

Full Moon in Pisces Ritual + Writing Prompts—Dreaming New Worlds

Pisces is the fish, fully submerged in the waters of the other realms, the subconscious mind, the oceanic tumult of the body and its feelings. Pisces is also the sphere of the psychic, the intuitive, the home of the medium, the dominion of the muse. Pisces is the watery womb where all dreams gestate. It is our job to choose which ones will be born.

Full Moon in Aquarius Ritual + Writing Prompts—Lightning Strikes

The current astro weather (full moon in Aquarius opposing sun in Leo) is speaking to the conflict—and potential—between the collective, the communal, and our own personal light, the individual spark in us, the ideas and creative offerings that only we can bring forth. This energy can feel very polarizing—can tear us in two, split us with what we think we “need” to do from what we feel called to do. But it also has much to teach us.
