In this Medical Medium information, we are asked to open a portal out onto the stars and beyond, and to envision a ball of light coming toward us that we can catch and place into our brains, where in this information, the soul resides. When I went to draw something to suggest the feeling of this full moon, a scene I created in my mind’s eye from a light meditation I’ve done came to mind. We culminate the first half of this cycle of honoring that spirit of beginning with a full moon in service of putting that instinctual experience of self into an opportunity of awareness of itself through the mirror of the other. We mark their arrival by what we see burst onto the scene: the moment the bud leafs out or the flower opens, the moment the baby slips out of mamma and into this world, the first cry that fills the lungs with air-the fighting spirit that gets us moving and announces we are here.

Beginnings can be slow, but they rarely feel that way. The first cardinal sign, Aries, leads us to action though the nature of beginning itself. We began this lunation cycle with the new moon at the very beginning of Libra’s opposite, Aries. In Libra, we begin to learn how to do that by deliberating in hopes of reaching consensus with someone. It’s often said that we may not be able to change the things that happen but we can always control our responses to them. As we cross over its horizon to the top half of the chart, we begin to learn how to live in partnership, which is to say we begin to learn how to respond. They rule the seasons and set up initial conditions.) Libra leads the way to balance in partnership. (As I’ve written about before, cardinal signs are the leaders of the zodiac. Libra is the 7 th sign in the tropical zodiac, the second air sign and the third of the cardinal signs. The moon is full at 16 degrees Libra in the tropical zodiac on Apat 9:36 PM Pacific Daylight Time. “Threshold,” chalk pastel by Maria Theresa Maggi
