Surround Yourself with Love, Beauty & Harmony this Full Moon in Libra

It’s the Libra Full Moon on April 12 and here at the Wise Woman School we are dancing with the colors pink and yellow to heal, honour and wave our velvet coated fists in the air to Venus, Goddess of Love and ruler of the sign of Libra which is where the Full Moon resides this month. If you can find 23 degrees of Libra in your natal birth astrology chart it will give you more clues about what this Full Moon has in store for you. If you planted you intentions at the last New Moon in Aries, ask yourself how they are coming to fruition right now.

The Libra meditation I created for this Full Moon will gently help you strengthen your self, create sacred space for healing and meditation and acknowledge any blocks you are hanging onto that can now be released with the help of Venus going direct after 6 weeks retrograde.  Time to move forward as Mercury is also direct.

Spring is here (or Fall in the Southern hemisphere) and it’s time to gently so gently ground and center in your spiritual practice and your psychic know-how for we will need your energy to guide us all forward in the coming years as Neptune entered Aries on March 30, Saturn enters Aries on May 24, Pluto is in Aquarius, and Uranus enters Gemini on July 7. With all this air and fire energy we need to know where we are going, confront resentments and anger and open to love.

If you need help with any of this especially strengthening your own spiritual and psychic powers I hope you love this Full Moon Meditation I just created. If you are in my current Moon Magic eClass this meditation is part of your class. I am also here for you as a mentor and soul reader. Below you will find the Full Moon card of the month chosen from my Lefty Deck accompanied by creative prompts to get you in the mood plus Libra Zodiac Goddesses from my Zodiac Goddess Power Deck with suggestions for adorning yourself and your altar this Full Moon.

Goddess Blessings,

Libra Goddess Benzaitan by Kathy Crabbe from the Zodiac Goddess Power Deck

Libra Goddess ~ Benzaitan

Dragon Lover
Mating cry
White snakes hover
Beauty flies
Divine balance
In the sky
Guiding talent
Battle cry.

Benzaitan or Benten was one of the seven Japanese divinities of good luck also known as the Dragon Woman and Queen of the Sea, often appearing surrounded by a retinue of white snakes. Benzaitan brings inspiration, talent, wealth and romance to those who honor her.

I Paint Libra

The Libra Meditation got me dancing and twirling in my fringed shawl and long, silk skirt. I danced myself awake, becoming beauty, grace, lightness and perfection balancing beauty and strength.

My Libra painting was strong and sexual; squiggles and lines caressed my Libra Goddess and danced her around the world.

Embrace your Libra essence as you create and feel beauty, power and strength within. Feel the balance within and without.

Crazee Janice by Kathy Crabbe from the Lefty Oracle Deck

Lefty Oracle for the Full Moon:
Crazee Janice Dancing as Fast as She Can

Mantra: I ride the roller coaster.
Affirmation: I slow things down step-by-step.
Element: Spirit

Song
I’m dancing just to keep up.
With what?
I don’t know.

I don’t have a choice.
 Or do I?

I’m dancing so hard and so fast

I can’t hear the answer,

or the question.
 If only I could slow down.

If this card appears in a reading anything could happen! Things are going fast and so are you. Is it time to slow down yet? Can you manage it? Breathe…repeat. This too shall pass.

In my own life I have been on this sort of rollercoaster life ride before, especially during the early stages of menopause which also occurred during my astrological mid life transition. It’s called Uranus Opposition and it occurs for all of us around the age of forty. It was a ride I could NOT seem to get off! Crazee indeed. But I survived and even though I knew it was going to happen all I could do was to hang on. Sorry, no great advice to offer you, other than to get ready!

Creative Journal Prompt
Take a look at your life and then ask yourself if there are any areas where you feel like Janice. Write them down. Pick one and envision yourself slowing things down step-by-step. Describe. What one piece of wisdom has come to you by doing this exercise?

Expressive Body Movement Challenge
Re-enact the above exercise in a dance or other body movement that portrays your own challenges and then slow it down bit by bit.

Pick-A-Card for the Virgo Full Moon

Virgo loves whimsy, efficiency and being of service. How are your New Moon seeds coming to fruition this Full Moon? This also happens to be the Blood Moon, Purim and a total Lunar Eclipse which I have described near the end of the card reveal.

Pick-A-Card for the Virgo Full Moon

Oracle cards created by Kathy Crabbe

All cards are from my hand painted oracle card decks. Before you choose a card, focus your mind, body and intuition upon something you want to bring to fruition right now Or ask the cards for guidance regarding a specific question OR ask the cards “What do I need to know right now?” These are just a few ideas as I’m sure you have lots of your own ideas too.

Card 1: Matilija Poppy Fairy

Matilija Poppy by Kathy Crabbe (Fairy Herbal Oracle Deck)

Matilija Poppy Affirmation: “I dream my way into the dark.”

Ruled by the Moon and worshiped by the women of Crete. Poppy seeds and flowers can be made into love spells, potions and sachets to attract wealth and fertility, induce divinatory dreaming, aid sleep and master invisibility. Persephone gathered three poppies and three wheat sheaves to accompany her into the Underworld.

Astrology: Cancer, Leo, Moon
Deity: Demeter, Persephone
Element: Water
Healing: Aids sleep, for pain

Card 2 : Carolee

Carolee by Kathy Crabbe (Lefty Oracle Deck)

Mantra: I am free.
Affirmation: I dare to be free.
Element: Earth

Song
I am moon.
I am stars.
I am sun.
I am earth.

YOU, with your lies and false promises
will NEVER crush me.

I AM WOMAN

fierce,
gentle,
proud,
defiant.

I AM YOU.

If this card appears in a reading you are more than ready to forge ahead. You are brave and you are going for it; nothing or no one can stand in your way. Simple.

In my own life this card also speaks of raw, naked ambition and flaunting it without shame or fear. It’s a feminist card, a fighter card, a power card. Blessed Be.

Creative Journal Prompt
Carolee is a trickster card; a card that invites you to be tricky and sly like a fox or a coyote. The trickster is a go-between for humans and the gods. She/he journeys to the world in-between where magick exists although often his/her messages come out a little differently than you’d expect.

We each have a dash of trickster in us, a madcap, a fool, a wise old soul.

Take a moment now to inhabit that in-between world where things could go either way or not at all, but where the unexpected is always to be expected.

Name one wild thing you could do in your life that would surprise everyone. Whatever pops into your head write it down. If you’re a brave soul and ready to shake it up for Carolee’s sake then she dares you to do it and report back later.

Next, envision your new, wild self. What do you see, feel, sense? Describe.

Is there anything stopping you from being this new, wild self and if so how will you deal with it?

Ask your trickster why she/he has chosen this task for you.

What steps can you take today or this week to put your trickster vision into action?

Expressive Body Movement Challenge
What is your best feature sexually or sensually speaking? I’d like you to show it off right now in whatever way you’re comfortable with. It can be very subtle or more overt. Have fun with this and flaunt your stuff like a peacock if you dare!

Non Dominant Hand Exercise
Draw your trickster self using your non dominant hand and write an affirmation to express this new and daring side of yourself.

Card 3: Strength

Strength by Kathy Crabbe (Siren Song Mermaid Tarot Deck)

Mermaid Strength Song: I am aligned with my truth & power.

Gifts: Courage, creativity, discipline, endurance, gentle-ness, honour, self love, sensuality, success, transcendence, trust, vitality, wildness.

Shadow: Abuse of power, disgrace, doubt, fear of unknown, temptation, victim-hood, weakness.

MerMagik: Amber, cat’s eye, diamond, driftwood, garnet, limpet, lion, ruby, sardonyx, sturgeon, swan, topaz.

MerSpell: Listen to the spirit of the water to dance with your spirit animal helper. Merge with your inner flame giving birth to your wild heart and wishes.

Astro/Deity: Leo / Amberella, Brigid, Sulis.

More Virgoan Goddesses:

Atanua, Cerridwen, Changing Woman, Circe, Isis, Lada, Liban, Morgan Le Fay, Uisg.

About Lunar Eclipses

A lunar eclipse is only possible during a full moon. During a Full Moon, the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth, and the Moon is at its brightest. A lunar eclipse is a special full moon where the Earth is in the same plane with both luminaries and the Moon is therefore shadowed by the Earth. This too, is a relatively sudden and rare phenomenon and not visible to everyone on Earth.

How Do You Know If An Eclipse Will Affect You?

You’ll feel an eclipse if it falls within 5 degrees of one of your natal planets. A good astrologer can tell you that. An eclipse’s effects are also likely to be stronger if you live in the part of the world where it can be seen directly. And an eclipse will be stronger if it is total, rather than partial. These things taken together and with a few other factors added in, will tell you the generic nature of the eclipse, the area of your life where it’s likely to affect you, and the strength of the effect. A strong eclipse is likely to be felt, at least in a background way, for six months until it is replaced by the next same-type of eclipse (solar or lunar).

Cybele by Kathy Crabbe. Mixed media on board, 24 x 36 inches, 1997

I Paint Leo

While channeling Leo energy I realized that women carry the gold, the torch and the light that can lead humanity out of the darkness and back into the light. I could feel the sun beckoning me, offering freedom and inspiration to lead the way.

The glory of Leo spiraled onto my illustration board as a whirling sun-face appeared surrounded by tongues of fire, golden heat and light. When I acknowledge my inner Leo I am a Leader of Light as I channel glowing and sparking positive energy to light the way for others. Leo is the sun that is creativity that is joy that is soul that is oneness with all.

About Kathy Crabbe

I've been an artist for as long as I can remember, and my journey as a soul reader began at the age of forty, after five years of painting with my non-dominant left hand. This practice profoundly enhanced my intuition. In 2008, I created the Lefty Oracle deck and began offering intuitive soul readings, touching many lives in profound and playful ways.

Are you ready to make a shift in your life? A soul reading can help you make the changes you need to move forward, connect with your guides and find hope in dark times.
