The Full Moon occurs on April 15, 2014 at 2:43 am E.S.T. in the astrological sign of Libra, the Scales. In addition, there is a Lunar Eclipse, one of four that will occur in a year and a half. In most years, there are two solar and two lunar eclipses, but this year we will have the benefit of a shorter time between each Lunar Eclipse as well and this particular Moon appearing reddish during the eclipse, thus astronomers calling it a “Blood Moon”. The Moon will appear red since the Earth’s umbra, or atmosphere around it, is not completely dark, therefore most of the longer-wavelength light such as reds, orange and yellow colors, are trapped in the umbra and viewing the Moon through these colors, the Moon will appear ruddy in color.
It has been said that most major decisions should be avoided from the week before until the week after a Lunar Eclipse, as sometimes things will not go as planned and many changes or revisions will have to be made. In addition, other planetary aspects raise concerns over crops and the global food supply. Financial instability is in the forecast as some will feel the effects of these planets in regards to savings and retirement, stocks and banking. The overall mood is conservative.
The Moon in the Air sign of Libra, the Scales, is considered “Cardinal” in nature – meaning it is intellectual, inventive and innovative. Burning candles to Control, Convince or Command someone to stop their negative behaviors would be an excellent goal to strive for during this Full Moon.
Full Moon time is traditionally held as the time to burn candles for a “banishing”, “reversing” or “send away” nature. Reversible candles lit to remove negative influences and send them back to the sender or their origins are excellent now. This is also the time to do any revenge work on those who have wronged you.
The next New Moon will occur on April 29, 2014.
