Libra Moon and Balance

The Moon is in Libra today, the sign associated with striving for balance, equality, and peace.  Libra aims to land in the middle building harmony in relationships and creating a beautiful, cohesive environment.  Venus in Leo is acting like a playful and expressive Lioness who wants to entertain and frolic with the Moon.  Venus is being nudged by Saturn and Mars in Scorpio to get out of it's whimsical merriment and "take the bull by the horns".   For relating is not only playing, flirting, and joking around, but we must also "grow UP" and engage the real intensity of life, lest we forget  the Lions power to rule the jungle and be ferocious.  Neptune and Chiron in Pisces are chilling with Saturn and Mars indicating that IF we are willing to look at the deeper truths, the undercurrents and imperfections of our humanity, we can start to imagine a force greater than us that is there to guide and help us along our journey.  A force that will help to balance out the challenges of being human, losing the childish temptation to escape into superficiality and frivolity.  For the more we avoid embracing all facets of human existence, we will be continuously reminded by the experiences in our lives asking us to accept all that we are, the dark and the light.
