The moon in Aries can be impulsive and bold. Some of us may feel more energetic than usual,  if this is the case use your energy wisely, but be aware of jumping to conclusions or into situation before knowing all the facts… :)  

This can be a great time to begin new projects, especially ones that are “me” related… or to bring about a change for the better in your present situation… 

For those who may be shy or find it difficult to speak up… use this time (with the moon in Aries) to be your own “hero”… 

Those most affected by this months New moon will be those who have one or more of the following… 

Sun in Aries: Moon in Aries: Mars in Aries:

The New moon may “pick up” some of the Taurus Moon affects, those effected most will be those who have the Sun, Moon or Venus in Taurus.

Full Moon March 27 2013:

Our lovely lady becomes full on March 27 2013 at approx. 5: 27 am

The Full Moon is the perfect time to finish up on projects and get those loose ends sorted out…

Traditionally the Full Moon is not  the best time to begin new projects… so don’t start a new exercise regime this weekend, chances are you won’t stick with it, wait for the New Moon to pop up again… :)

This month the moon becomes full while in the sign of Libra and remains in Libra until 2:14 pm when she becomes void off course until she settles into the sign of Scorpio on March 28 2013 at 2: 14 pm. 

While the full moon is in Libra we may feel more inclined to beautify our surroundings, perhaps making this a good time to put the finishing touches to renovations and decorating…. :) We may also feel like engaging in more harmonious relationships with our partners and loved ones, yet may also find our selves in the position of having to be the ones trying to balance the emotions within such relationships… 

Those most affected by a Libra Full Moon are those who have the following: 

Sun Libra: Moon Libra: Venus Libra: 

While the moon is in Scorpio we may feel emotions more intensely than usual and while this may indicate a desire to become intimate with someone, we must be on the look out for negative emotions such as jealously, or of becoming overly passionate about someone or something…

Those most affected by a Scorpio Moon are those who have the following: 

Sun Scorpio: Moon Scorpio: Pluto Scorpio:
