we are all vessels: horoscopes for the full moon in libra
we are all vessels
we are all vessels
not all we contain is graceful
not all we contain
is wise.
some of what we contain is
meant to burn (like a soy candle)
& some is meant
for us to carry, like a basket
or wear, like a cloak.
this morning, at 8:36 AM EST, we will wake up to a full moon in libra:
In its brightest moment,
as the morning stars (mercury & venus)
peek over the horizon,
along with the sun in Aries.
a full moon is a time to act!
to shine light!
to distribute our knowledge,
our value.
It’s a time to lead confidently,
(or flee confidently.)
make a bold choice.
the sun & moon are in opposite signs:
not rivals, but partners.
Aries & Libra are two signs of equilibrium,
while Aries has nowhere to go but up
(it’s spring after all,
happy passover,
happy easter)!,
Libra has nowhere to go but down.
this is why Libras is the sign beauty & balance & peace.
one hand clings to the equilibrium, while the rest swings above the dark abyss.
it’s a long way to fall.

this past week has brought up some challenges.
the sun, exalted in Aries- powerful young & sweet
faced squares from Mars, the pushy,
and Saturn, the sullen.
Aries wants to move, to articulate,
to articulate before thinking,
but this week has brought consideration, dwelling, roadblocks, or
heavy decrees.
on top of this,
mercury is retrograde (in Aries).
decisions have been reconsidered.
ideas have been reimagined.
the wifi connection has been rewired.
("what I wanted was emotional support,
but all I got was tech support!")
so yeah, there’s been a lot of contemplation and not a lot of progress.
this full moon in libra should be a
moment, if not of catharsis, then at least of productivity.
A moment of levity.
To float.
To embody.
We are all vessels.
The fluidity in between is the sweet spot.
It’s not/but.
Not progress, but process.
Not finishing, but starting.
Not dwelling, but laughing.
We’re all in the gutter, but we’ll float.

what follows are horoscopes for each sign.
if you know your rising sign, please read for that.
& read your sun sign as well.
if you don’t know your rising sign, reading for your sun sign is totally fine.
there’ll be something there <3 (there might be something in all of them)
these are meant to be nuggets to chew.
hopefully, there’s some bite.
there are still copies of moon missives spring available here. get em before they are gone :)

forget everything you’ve ever known about yourself.
then, remember it.
you are in a longer period of vibrancy & visibility.
your public image is soaring,
your career exists (?!?)
it’s kinda wild.
but for the past two weeks or so,
you’ve been in your own trenches,
like your personal trenches.
like one on one me time forever and always
your intellect, your feelies.
you’re not questioning them,
as much as you’re rediscovering them.
the secret is:
this process never ends.
so, commit to it.
this full moon makes you a lock and gives someone else the key. Meet up with them.
Why not?
taurus
watch out today:
for your health & for your mind.
something might bring the
tacks of life
back to the forefront.
something sudden,
though not extreme.
don’t worry about it,
but slow down.
you’ve been really caught up in where you belong,
in a very grand sense.
questions that will never really have answers.
you belong where you are,
or where you want to be.
that’s the answer.
stop pushing the elephant up the stairs.
the flowers will bloom.

today, I want you to do something creative & joyous.
and I want you to do it just for yourself.
don’t think about how it fits in.
or where you want to go with it.
lean into the tactile.
feel your hand on the paper,
your feet on the ground,
your voice in the song.
share it later.
share it when someone wants to hear it.
you are learning so much about who you want to be around,
who you need to be around,
who makes you grow,
and who is your ally,
your peer.
and they are your ally.
they are your peer.
make something,
you’ll share it.
your friend will want you to share it.

light the candles that you need, make the tinctures that you need, have your ritual, have your feast. make sure you are in the guttural truth of you, like in the corner of the bottom of the well, that is impossible for anyone else to get to, unless they’ve lived through what you have, come from where you have been, been on your land. DO NOT light your candles for SHOW. tell NO ONE. who isn’t willing to go there with you, into the depths. okay? i’m serious. promise me that. it is so easy to make a performance out of nurturing. it’s easier that way. listen to your needs, and their needs. meet them at their level. both of you are making the right choice. leo buy a bike today. support a local business. call your sister. today feels like a walk. take in the sights, And go slow. (you probably have somewhere to be, but if only for a moment, pretend you have nowhere to be) tap into your very first fascinations, primal curiosities. there’s a there there. ease up on the very important synthesis work that you’ve been engaged in, to allow yourself a shape. fit yourself in.

your palms are itchy, or a bill is due. you have a settlement to make, or come into. something is changing about your cash. maybe you just don’t care about it. but if I know you, that isn’t the case. is it that you feel…okay about it? or have you discovered that money is the only thing that you can control/ the only thing that can control you. there’s a kink somewhere in that power struggle. lean into it. it will only fuel your creativity, and your ability to bear fruit, to bear gifts. you’ll throw better parties. you’ve learned the value of a dollar, made peace with what it contains. libra
who do you want to be with? and how do you want to be with them? for ONCE, bb, why don’t you try making a list of what you do care about, rather than naming what you don’t care about. you are very good on placing the attention & directing the blame. you are excellent at being with. this full moon gives you a gift, which you might not see as a gift. it is giving you a moment, way from your exes on the G train platform. the moon wants you to listen. to you. you will be a sweeter partner, when you are more selfish, when you have a new outfit, when you put yourself first. put down the phone. fertilize your plants and take a deeeeeep sip. a hearty slurp. you gotta be you.

be well, bb be well, bb be well, bb be well has been the mantra for you this Aries season, revisiting past injuries, past wars, past workplaces. are you a good employee or a bad employee? is there such a thing? you know the answer is yes. as you’ve spent this month conquering the mundane (necessary, paperwork), today’s full moon will be a chance to forget control, to lose yourself in the machine, consider the institution. see the big picture, the bigger picture, the biggest picture. there’s so much to dedicate yourself to, so much to live for. today’s spells are wide. today’s knowledge is vast.
sagittarius oh bb, when you read this, I hope you are exactly where you want to be, with exactly who you want to be with. I hope you’re with your people. I hope a dream is coming true. and I hope you are getting your wish. you’ve been doing the heavy lifting lately with your value and valuables. I hope you’ve been able to plant some seeds for abundance, and have been poring through the rolodex of all the beauty you contain, all the art you contain, all the spirit. put down the deposit. who completes you?
and who do you have a lot to learn from? (clue: this is not - and shouldn’t be- the same person, or idea, or venture, or commitment) you don’t have to be on the same page to learn or to have fun :) skip ahead.
capricorn you may be tempted this weekend, to do something drastic, to your appearance. you want people to see you. and you want them to see you in a certain way. you want to go dancing in the public eye. you’re due for a change, so, like, do it. just make sure thing you’re doing, makes you feel, like your favorite childhood snack does. the warm sugar. the soft pretzel. the thick layer of peanut butter. packed into your school lunch. whatever you do, make sure it makes you feel how you felt when you pulled that snack out of your bag. in the middle school cafeteria. breathe into that thought (some of these moments have been flashing lately) and follow it to what is begging to be new. aquarius
you’ve been on a bike tour of your earliest influences. whether you wanted to take the bike tour or not. (your sister bought it for you for your birthday, and look, it was along Hudson, were you not gonna do a bike tour along the goddamn Hudson, just because your sister gave it to you? Of course NOT. But yes, of course, you can still complain, bb.) okay, so yes. you’re on the bike tour. and a lot is coming up. lots of memories, childhood dreams. how do these fit into your adult philosophies? your adult ideals? how do they inform your spirituality? what’s your earliest relationship to ritual? how do you still worship? today is a day for scholarship, and for planning a long trip. it’s a day to plot your escape, led by your philosophy. pisces
do your taxes, bb. pay your debts. so many things in this life are musts. you are not a must person, but you vibe with musts better than people expect you to vibe with musts. you’re discovering who sees that and who doesn’t, and clearing out the weeds accordingly. this month, you have either gained or lost a bit of cash & someone owes you. track them down & have a beer. you’ll know if you’re okay calling it even.
get there & you will find so much relief.
