Full Moon in Scorpio April 25 2013 and partial lunar eclipse

This month’s full moon takes place in the sign of Scorpio. 

And Partial Lunar Eclipse

moonphasesmoving

Scorpio is one of the most intense signs in the zodiac, and the moon relates to our feelings/moods/emotions.. indicating this full moon could prove to be one of intense emotions. 

An eclipse is an important event in astrology as it can strengthen the traits of either the moon or sun, this can be positive or negative. The natal effect of a lunar or solar eclipse can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. 

This month’s Lunar (moon) eclipse is the first of the year and is a partial eclipse, meaning only a part of the moon will be eclipsed. It is likely that the effects of this eclipse will be lessened, but should still be considered. 

With the full moon in Scorpio you are asked to be aware of your emotions. Don’t act on what you think/feel is going on, make sure you find out the facts before making any accusations or taking actions that you may regret later…Be sure that your lover is cheating on you before accusing, keep feelings of jealousy, passion and desire in check… Remember with the partial eclipse in effect what ever is put into action now may have repercussions at a later date. 

This months full moon will have more of an influence on those who have the following in their charts… 

Moon in Scorpio: Sun in Scorpio: Moon in 8th house: Moon in 12th house:

“Sheba’s Fix”

This new program, offers financial support to local rescue organizations through the reimbursement cost of the Spay/Neuter procedure for dogs and cats. 

The goal is to assist the region in the population control of dogs and cats. 

Spay Neuter Durham is working towards the ultimate goal of establishing a “high volume, high quality and accessible”  clinic in Durham. However, while waiting to achieve their goal the organizers of Spay/Neuter have decided to do what they can now, by offering the Sheba’s Fix Program. 

Spay Neuter Durham is passionate about keeping our cats and dogs safe by keeping the population in control. The best way to do this, is to have them  spayed/neutered, the alternative is euthanasia.

In the coming months, Sheba’s Fix will be offering assistance to qualified local residents. Those who qualify will be reimbursed the cost of the spay or neuter procedure. 

Sheba’s Fix is offering the following information events: 

April 20 2013 and April 21 2013 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm both days at the following locations: 

Pet Valu, Brooklin: 5949 Baldwin St. S. unit 12, Brooklin

Pet Valu, Bowmanville: 2377 Durham Hwy 2 #118, Bowmanville
