[ The moon is full today at 11:48am MST at 8° Libra. ]

This moon is all about illuminating our unconscious needs in our relationship. [ Or some of these needs may be conscious, but not communicated. ] You two may have a lot coming up today around finally communicating these desires & getting it all out in the open. The communication for the day is going to be entirely feeling based & charged around your beliefs about your relationship with your partner. For some, this might be a conversation filled with tearful expression while others may experience their tongue tied!

Be patient with yourself & your lovey as you both navigate this very exciting & powerful full moon that yearns for you both to get closer & closer. With the Sun + Venus in Aries, there’s true passion to be present with each other. You both may find yourselves easily expressing your innate feelings & all the new ways you wish to show up in your love life. You’re going to be getting a boost of explorative drive during this time that fills you with new ideas, ways of being, & experimentation! Lean into this & really let down any old, fixed walls that have kept the connection stagnate or distant. Now really is a time to explore!

These astrological aspects are also giving us a deeper look into our relationship’s purpose. Of course the purpose can be just because you’re head-over-heels in love, though you may also get an extra glimpse into other reasons the two of you are so magically connected. Allow the theme of exploring to guide you both to curious & rich reasons why your relationship is flourishing. Maybe you’re here to bring a family into the world, to start a business together, to remind each other how amazing you are – whatever it may be, be open to new ways of looking at each other & your dynamic. 

This full moon wants you to open your hearts up wide & release any aspect of the relationship that isn’t building it towards its brightest future for you both. Look at each other like you’re both filled with magic & endless possibilities because the fact is, you truly are!!!

E X T R A C R E D I T !

Create a loving environment by selflessly opening your heart & asking your partner if their needs & desires are being met. Treat their response as a precious part of your relationship, their answer may be fun or it may feel challenging but either way – have the willingness to show support in the way the need.

Thank you for sharing this magical day with us!

Welcome to Pisces season! We are transforming from progressive Aqaurian air energy to spiritual Piscean water energy. Pisces is ruled by the water element & is mutable in nature. That means they have the emotional flow of the ocean and the changeable nature of the wind. As a Neptune ruled sign, it’s all about dreams, spirituality, & love’s highest expression! Pisces also rules over the 12th house – the House of Spirit & Transcendence. Many Pisceans + many during Pisces season will focus on letting go & free-form expression. This is a time to tune into your spirit, fall in love deeper, & dance the night away! Learn all about the unconditional & dreamy ways of a Pisces’ love below! 

Pisces – poetic, sensitive, your dreamiest lover yet! Pisces is known to have their head a little in the sky, however, what they bring back from these little spacey moments is a vision to live your biggest dreams together! Though they might need your passion for action, they’ll provide the path. As excellent visionaries, they see clearly what steps to take & in what direction, making sure you’re serenaded the whole way through. 

Pisces represents unconditional & boundless love. A kind of love written in poetry of old, on parchment with every feeling eloquently spelled out so their love might be felt by any who beholds it. They’re the die hard romantics of the zodiac & if you’re so blessed to be with one, you’ll certainly love celebrating any & all holidays! Their attention to your likes & dislikes as well as every minute emotion & micro expression means they know you better than you probably know yourself. All this sensitive attention goes into truly celebrating life with you & for you. 

They’re highly devotional & will almost worship you if you can handle it. They truly think you’re amazing & admire all your shared thoughts, feelings, & actions. And this is what they want, for you to open up & share. You’re not hiding much from an intuitive Pisces anyways so you might as well be upfront about everything. As empaths, they can feel what you’re feeling & in this way try to help you open up & understand yourself more fully. Sometimes they may confuse this empathy with their own feelings so be sure you are clear with yourself as to not confuse your Piscean partner. 

Pisces might be able to make all your fantasies come true, but keep in mind they may reach for the stars & struggle to come back to earth. Helping root & ground your lover is super important as they can lose touch with reality sometimes. And if they lose touch with reality, you may feel like they’re also losing touch with you. Try to empathize with them as they do with you & gently remind them to put their feet on the ground as they come back into their bodies. 

Sometimes lost in the stars, they’re ultimately lost in love with you. Open your heart to Pisces fullest expression of love & you’ll be head over heels forever!

Full Moon 8° Virgo
[ 2/27/21 @ 1:17 am MST ]

Today’s moon is all about the balance between feeling and analyzing. Maybe you’re the analytical mind in the partnership & your lovey is more feeling based. Maybe you both share the same qualities & it makes it oh-so easy to do life together. Either way, we bring the art of balancing into all relationships & this moon is helping us to see just that.

A Virgo full moon allows us to feel what we innately wish to analyze. This process can be likened to intuition which we’ll have a major boost in today! As you have your inner conversations with yourself & your external conversations with your partner, you will be able to intuitively know if what you’re working on is for you or not. This is particularly important when talking about your work or rather, your purpose. If anyone knows you & your dreams by now, it’s your bae! You will both have the beautiful insight to know for yourself & each other whether certain work is helping or harming.

This is a time to be there for each other & understand that one of you [ or both! ] may have walked down a certain road for a long time, & maybe this road is paying your bills! But having the understanding & compassion towards one another to switch gears, to walk down a new path that is more suited for each of you individually & collectively, is what is needed at this time. Today is a great day for productive conversation about the future & not judgmental conversation about the past. 

With all of that said, expression may not come out as succinct & pre-packaged as we would like. With the sun in Pisces, we are all going to experience more of an emotional response to these conversations & it’s important that we handle our partners’ spoken truths with lots of love! We are all going to be feeling into our value systems & that can be a vulnerable place to share from, however, we only grow closer together from being open & honest about what we think, feel & value. So allow today to be a time where you can let down your barriers & know each other even more to build your future together!

Full Moon To-Do for You & Bae 

Spend this time doing something that gets the two of you out in nature & something to get you conversationally sharing your dreams, visions for the future, or your purpose in life.

Day time date //

› Write a good old fashion love letter to one another that’s all about the above topics. Going on a hike, find a cozy spot in nature & read it aloud to one another OR yell out that dream at the top of your lungs, put it out there with each other!

Night time date //

› Go outside at night, lay under the stars and share with each other what you’d wish for if you saw a shooting star. Then create a little ‘joint dream journal’ where both of you write things down at random when inspiration hits over the next few weeks.

Thank you for sharing this magical day with us!

[ Full Moon 9° Leo1/28/21 @ 12:16 pm MST ]

The moon is full & rising today. This full moon is all about merging our deepest emotions with our fullest self-expression. This integration is guiding us to our most authentic self & the most authentic relationship with your one & only. Today with this full moon, we feel into where we are in our truest alignment as we move forward as a divine partnership. This will be a balancing act with two wild sides of the spectrum. Some of us dive too far into our emotional selves, getting lost in the delusions & wounds, while others project too much outwards in their peer groups, staying superficial & attention seeking.

What we really need is to take it upon ourselves to prioritize self-inquiry so that we can access our highest potential union! This inquiry helps us get to the root of things as we ask ‘why’ things are the way they are & why we are the way we are. When we begin this inquiry process, we ensure the foundation of who we are & the structure of our lives together are authentic, honest & true for us. This full moon really helps illuminate where cracks have formed in our lives that have destabilized the pure structure of our partnerships.

We find deep levels of acceptance as we unearth any parts of ourselves we have rejected. Many times we reject these parts because of the outside world, our peer groups, teachers, parents or society. These external parties rejected aspects of ourselves & so did we. This Leo moon is all about taking that power back, leaving all judgments to the wind & stepping into a full embrace of who we truly are! 

If we are not true to ourselves, then we are not true to our partners. If you don’t know the depth that you are, how can you really share who you are with someone else?

This is a powerful day to see each other with eyes of compassion, tuning into unconditional love while each partner allows space & grace to move through their emotional process and then be able to express themselves openly. We are mirrors for each other & no one knows us better than our lovey! They are here for us through our highs & lows, so this full moon shouldn’t be any different. Let’s allow each other to step more fully into our authentic selves, creating an even more authentic love for one another.  

This Full Moon calls for nourishment of the heart & the tummy [ because merging our deepest emotions with our fullest self-expression isn’t so easy all of the time! ] Plan a date night tonight to nourish yourselves! Make a meal to remember. You two can plan to cook something yummy together & allow your souls to connect.

[ Also, definitely tell us what you made because we are super into your recipe ideas. ]

Extra Credit!

Another wonderful way to nourish your heart & remember why you fell in love is by using the playfulness of this Intimacy Deck! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner & we are madly in love with this date night idea.

Welcome to Aquarius season! We change from Capricorn earth energy over to wild Aqaurian air vibes. Aqaurius is ruled by the air element & is fixed in nature. That means they have the flexibility to change like the wind while maintaining the sustained energy of the earth. As a Uranus ruled sign, it’s all about humanitarianism, people & partnership, & shaking up everyone’s world! Aqaurius also rules over the 11th house – the House of Community & Future. Many Aquarians + many during Aqaurius season will focus on their like-minded pursuits with peers as well as their long-term future goals with their partners. This is a great time to check in & see what page you & your lovey are on as well as tuning into your dreams for the future. Learn about the spontaneous & unorthodox ways of an Aqaurian relationship below! 

Aquarius – electric, eclectic, your most eccentric partner yet! Welcome to the age of Aquarius where you either progress or digress if you can’t keep up. Electric with vitality & energy, an Aquarius lover is sure to keep you on your toes, entertained & doing all sorts of quirky new activities. Never a dull moment! This is especially true if their Venus is in Aquarius along with their Sun, Moon or Rising.

With a truly different approach to almost everything, they may also approach relationships the same way. They’re the first to want things to be boundless without definitions, so they might even prefer the relationship to be called anything but a ‘relationship’. To them, it puts it in a box with limits & as individuals who always want things to progress, limits is the last thing they want in love. If you’re trying to navigate your way through this type of an Aquarian connection, be patient but also express if you need more solid terms for your “relationship”. These are what we call the Uranian Aquarius types – but there is another…

The Saturnian Aquarius type is quite the opposite. This is someone who clings to the old ways, traditions, old culture & may desire a very traditional relationship in every sense of the word. They don’t desire so much to progress, but to preserve the old ways & keep them alive. This Aquarian lover will want the values in their relationship to be formulated around whatever culture & traditions they most resonate with & cling to. If you are with this type of Aquarius, learn these values & culture to better understand where your partner is coming from. If you don’t think Aquarius isn’t the most eclectic zodiac sign yet, then wait – there’s another type!

The Uranian-Saturnian Aquarius is the 3rd type. This is someone who is mixed in with both the new world & the old world & may at times struggle to be in this world. Keep that in mind when you’re with this day dreamer-go with the flow-social butterfly-entrepreneurial type! Oh yes, Aquarius is very creative & inventive – you may have lots of new experiments & projects scattered all over your house. You may find this Uranian-Saturnian type to be a little scattered as well, but do your best to either be their grounding force or flitter around with them. They are a ton of fun!

All 3 types bring their own excitement & romance to a relationship in a unique way & really want nothing more than to live the weirdest, most classically eccentric-kinda life with you!

Welcome to Sagittarius season! This season is all about shaking things up! Sagittarius is ruled by the fire  element & is mutable in nature. That means they have the spontaneity of fire & the changeable nature of the wind.

As a Jupiter ruled sign, it’s all about expansion, optimism & faith. Sag also rules over the 9th house – the House of Long Journeys. Many Sagittarians + many during Sag season will feel the need to break routine, do something new, & travel or expand their conscious horizons. This is the perfect time to ask yourself what routines have created stagnation in your growth. Stagnation in your partnership? How could you create more excitement in your life? Add the spice back into your daily routines & read on to know what kind of journey a Sagittarius partner really desires!

Sagittarius – free, optimistic, your excitement-seeking adventurer in love! If you’ve been with or are with a Sagittarius, you’ll know right away they are the most fun, exciting & freedom-loving people you know. They have a positive approach to life & a go-getter attitude that is contagious to be around. When you’re coupled up with such a force, they’ll want you to be their ultimate side kick in adventures, truth, freedom & love. This is especially true if their Sun, Moon, Rising or Venus is in Sagittarius. 

Sagittarius is really just that – a force. They are mutable fire & have energy sparking all over the place. They’re truly exciting people to know & be partnered with. Hopefully you have a suitcase in one hand & a philosophy book in the other because these types want to talk truth & wisdom as much as they want to experience something new / new food, new culture, new music, new people, new vibes. They live & breath the freshness of a new experience & disdain stagnancy or feeling caged in. So whatever you do, don’t make your Sag feel they are in a pen! 

As much as Sagittarius seeks truth, wisdom & new ideas, they can get stuck in their own ideologies. You may find when talking with your beloved that they get opinionated, self-righteous or maybe slightly insensitive if they feel you’re not speaking to the truths they know or what they believe is ethically right. Let your Sag lover know that you’re trying to level with them & understand & respect their beliefs so that they don’t feel they need to be on the defense so much. Remember, we’re dealing with FIRE here! That being said, once they feel free & safe with you, they will only want you to help them continue to expand their horizons of the mind & heart. 

If you happen to be the ‘cozied up at home’ type [ Cancer, Pisces, Taurus ] & have landed yourself a wanderlust Sagittarius babe, be sure to at least make the effort to get out & do things with them even if it seems difficult. The key here is that your Sagittarius boo will tell you “it’s fine” when you often don’t want to do their next wild idea & they’ll happily go do it solo anyway. Then you might start to think “cool, they don’t need me to do these things with them” – wait… Yes, Sag loves to do things solo, but they also really desire adventurous love. If you let your Sag out too often to take on these ventures solo, wanderLUST might take on a whole new meaning, if you catch my drift. They want a partner, so meet them where they’re at as much as you can (they’ll do the same for you). 

Whether you’re ready or not, your Sagittarius partner is ready to dine with you in Italy, play Lord of the Rings in New Zealand, explore ancient ruins in Rome, & over all be the most kick ass partner you’ve ever had the joy of loving! 

Welcome to Scorpio season! If you don’t know much about Scorpio or your Scorpio partner, then it’s time to dive in! Scorpio is ruled by the water element & is fixed in nature. That means they have the emotional depths of still lakes & the rigid and sustained energy of the earth. As a Pluto ruled sign, it’s all about karma, stepping into power, & merging souls together. Scorpio also rules over the 8th house – the House of Power & Transformation. Many Scorpios  + many during Scorpio season will feel the need to realign with their power & purpose as well as merge deeper into union with their partners. This is a great time to check in with yourself & your significant other to aqueous further into alignment. Where is your power being taken? What energy leaks could be removed from your life now? How can you & your partner gain a deeper understanding of each other? Read on to truly understand the complex & mysterious needs of a Scorpio.

Scorpio– magical, deep & everyone’s favorite mystery to solve! Scorpio is full of complex & magnetic energy that draws people to them with so much passion it’s hard to even know what hit you. Their intense gaze says everything & nothing all at the same time, all you know is you want more of your super sexy Scorpio partner! 

Yes, Scorpio similar to Aries, is filled with passion & sexual energy but also so much more. They love deeply & intensely & often express their love through actions, gestures & quality time. They might not be words of affirmation but will show you more through physical touch & affection. As a love language, they absolutely need both physical touch & quality time to feel connected to their partners & without it will feel distant, disconnected & unrecognized. It is super important to meet Scorpio energy with the appropriate amount of vigor & to put it bluntly – libido. 

Scorpio wants to become one with you physically, mentally & spiritually which is one area they can be quite complex to understand especially for certain signs. They want a full on merger of love, mind, power, energy, resources, body & soul. I know Libra rules marriage but as far as union goes, Scorpio takes that word to a whole other level! In this depth of connection, Scorpio can find itself on the jealous end of the spectrum. In fact, they are known to be the most jelly sign in the entire zodiac. So do keep your eyes for each other & try not to let the ol ‘whoa, he/she’s hot!’ slip. Sounds extreme but a Scorpio isn’t naive, they know they’re not the only person in the world. But when it comes to your world together, let them know that it’s super real, activated & full of trust & loyalty.

If Scorpio does feel on the edge about the relationship or they can’t trust you, they will show this in one of two ways. One way being the healthier route & the other more of the shadow side of Scorpio. They will either speak directly to the issue in very clear & calculated communication with plenty of information to back them up [ in a non-attacking manner ] OR they will suppress into secrecy, avoid physical contact & in very extreme cases will cheat as they don’t know how to express their pent up energy. Again, this is not to say this is your Scorpio partner, but what the energy can be pushed or prone to do if they don’t take time to understand their feelings. 

Seriously though, Scorpio will be the wildest, most exhilarating deep dive you’ll take into another person’s heart & soul & will surely only activate that depth for unconditional love within you as well! 

Welcome to Libra season! If you don’t know much about Libra or your Libra partner, then it’s time to learn. Libra is ruled by the air element & is cardinal in nature. That means they have the flexibility to change like the wind & the drive to create like expressive fire. As a Venus ruled sign, it’s all about relationships, you + me, love & of course making everything beautiful. Libra also rules over the 7th house – the House of Relationships & Marriage. Many Libras + many during Libra season will focus on their relationship dynamics with those close to them especially their partner. This is also a time for everyone to think about themselves in relation to their partners. Are you getting enough time for yourself? Spending too much energy on everyone else’s needs? If you answered yes, learn a little more about a balanced Libra relationship below! 

Libra – gorgeous, harmonious, your ultimate peace maker in partnership! If there’s any sign that’s the epitome of relationships, love & all things teamwork – it’s Libra. These lovers are obsessed with harmony in their lives & that includes their bae. They really are excellent communicators to get all sides of the story out on the table & find ways to create a fair & just balance so everyone can be happy. If you landed a Libra, you’re in serious good fortune! You also may have a lot to learn in the balancing act of partnership. This is all especially true if your lover’s Venus is in Libra or their Sun, Moon or Rising.

Libra, like Taurus, is ruled by the planet Venus. Venus opens up the floodgates & wants to draw in all things of beauty & love into their lives. You may notice Libra has a very aesthetic home, super in-style clothing, & a bit more of a classy feel to them. This is the strong Venusian energy they exude as they appreciate beauty & art in every way. Don’t feel underdressed or judged, but your Libra lover may want to extend a hand to your wardrobe, home decor, or any area of your life that appears a bit messy. They do genuinely want to help! 

A few things Libra needs to be aware of is this innate desire to keep things in balanced harmony. Sometimes they will bend the truth, withhold information or not share how they’re truly feeling in order to keep the peace & keep things running smoothly. Although they try to do this as selflessly as they can, if their partner catches wind, it  can look quite selfish & deceitful. Do try to be patient with your Libra partner in this & encourage them that more connection & peace will be had if they tell the truth & express how they really feel.

Another thing that Libra is really good at, but it can also get them into trouble, is their ability to be highly objective. This is great for solving problems for others, staying unbiased, & finding justice for all. This can pose challenges for their partners when Libra doesn’t take the time to be subjective enough to understand themselves & what they truly feel, value, want, or need. Libra can become so involved in other’s perspectives & realities they can often lose sight of their own. It can make them appear inauthentic & hollow which is why some people think of Libra as a bit ‘shallow’. This couldn’t be further from the truth & it often just takes a Libra partner to step away from the relationship a little to catch their center & get real about who they are & what they need. 

Libra rules marriage & long term partnership, they want that commitment more than most any of the 12 energies in the zodiac. If you can help them find true balance, you will be in for a beautiful life-long union!
