Powerful Full Moon in Aries Reveal & Release Ceremony

by Annie Botticelli

Ceremonies during astrological power periods help us to make the most of the potentials of the event.

Full Moons often bring things to fruition or fulfillment, marking important endings. Sometimes the Full Moon brings things out of hiding and into the light so secrets and other hidden things can often be brought into the open at this time.  Blocks to desired outcomes can often be revealed and point to steps to take to fulfill the goal.

We can use ceremony including elements (like earth, air, water, or fire), affirmations, visualization, written and spoken word to help us maximize the power of each Full Moon.  When we align our ceremony around the energies of the sign of each Full Moon, we help to amp up our conscious work with them.

Your Definitive Guide to Venus Retrograde through the Signs and Houses - Leo/the 5th House ...

The planet Venus is also called the Triple Goddess because it rules three distinct areas of life: 1. Money 2. Love and 3. Beauty/Aesthetics

Every 18 months or so, Venus will appear to be going backwards in its orbit, which is called a “retrograde”.  The potential lessons and other manifestations for a retrograde can have some different expressions than when a planet is moving direct.

This is part 5 of a 12-blog series that covers extensively the potentials of Venus moving retrograde through the signs and houses.

Wonderful Attributes of Venus Retrograde in the Birth Chart

I don’t watch many videos on astrology, usually I am making my own.  However, recently I had a video about Venus Retrograde in the Birth Chart come to me and since someone close to me has this placement, I was interested in what the person making the video had to say.  I listened to almost half of the video, which was done by an amazing astrologer who is well-known and does much for the world with their work.  I was surprised by how negative this persons interpretation on Venus Retrograde in the Birth Chart was and upon further research, I found that this was consistent with the other online resources about Venus retrograde in the birth chart. I believe that each planet, sign, and transit have a SPECTRUM of potentials that run from positive to negative.  To focus on the aspects of a placement that could be considered negative or challenging is to miss much important working knowledge on the matter. This experience motivated me to share some positive counterbalance on the placement of Venus retrograde in the birth chart.

Venus Retrograde Do’s & Don’ts:

Venus goes retrograde about every 18 months. It will stay retrograde about 43 days or about 6 or 7 weeks. There is a shadow period of about a month beforehand, and there is a shadow period of about a month afterwards. Essentially there is about a 4-month period about every 1 ½ years that is just covered in the energy of the Venus retrograde. 

What follows is a comprehensive guide to Venus retrograde, a “global” view, and its implications and focus, so that you can understand the aspect better and apply this information to every time Venus is retrograde regardless of what sign or house in your personal chart.

Venus rules:

• Love
• Beauty (including artistic endeavors)
• Money

During this retrograde period anything having to do with Love, Beauty/Art or Money is going to going through a major “re-evaluation”!

A lot of questions are going to be asked. Whether coming from the outside or being instigated from the inside. But on the topics of Love, Beauty and Money you’re going to have your hands full with things coming up, for better and worse.

There are plenty of things that are really good to do during this time, but there are a whole slew of things that best to apply more discernment when deciding about.

Crystals hold great power for healing and accentuating positive attributes.  The frequencies of certain crystals have a resonance with aspects of focus for each astrological sign.  Here is more information about crystals that work beautifully to clear, balance, energize, and harmonized the energies of Libra.

Anyone that has any notable placement in Libra can benefit from their use. Additionally, anyone who is looking for assistance on the topics mentioned for each crystal can draw support from them.  Trust your intuition!  Crystals that can help you will often 'speak' to you or draw you to them :) 

New Moon's bring open portals for wishing power! Using the New Moon time your wishes with gives more energy behind your wishing, especially when you make wishes that are aligned with the energy of the SIGN of the New Moon. The strongest times of the period are 6 hours before or after the exact time of the New Moon. You get 10 wishes per New Moon :)

When the New Moon is in Libra, wishing for all things “Libra” brings a major amplification in your creation power!

Here are some examples of Libra-related things you can wish for on the New Moon in Libra:

Have you ever had an "off" day? Then you already have a fundamental understanding of what happens energetically when a planet is retrograde.

Each planet rules different areas of life. Just like when we are feeling a little "off", we don't get our stuff, the things in our "department" done properly, or in a timely manner, and are a little cranky about it, the retrograde planet behaves the same way.

To better understand what happens in Mars retrograde, let's first take a look at Mars in its forward motion.

Busting the Myth of Sun Sign Compatibilities ~

I have heard way too often people putting too much stock in Sun Sign Compatibilities.  I want to set the record straight on this common and very important topic.  Check out my video on the topic...
