Scorpio Full MoonIn cultures around the world it is said that  on November 1 and 2 the portals open between the living and the dead allowing us on Earth to mourn the one in celebration of the other.

This is one reason why the Libra Full Moon poignantly illuminates the awkward transition we humans make from self -determined actualization to conciliatory diplomatic negotiation, hopefully not sacrificing the one to the other. The Moon in Aries, promoting emotional courage and independence to assert our needs, also garners impulsive reaction often triggered by our unconscious motives, which, if not tempered with a modicum of judicious measure can backfire causing harsh reactions from others. This Full Moon is urging each of us to create balance  within ourself and in our relationships with others. Remembering that this is the Full Moon phase of a New Moon in Virgo may help each of us to work on improving a difficult relationship requiring our patience and acceptance of what is.
