Full Moon in Libra Collective Tarot Reading 🌕✨ Seven of Thunder, The Devil, Harvest of Stones

The Devil comes to us on this full moon like a loving, honest friend to say “Hey girl, knock it off.” What are we doing? Where have we insisted on keeping ourselves small out of fear, shame, old stories and projections about who we are and what we can be? Enough is enough. It’s time to cut the chain and shed the stuff that makes us sick. When you look at your own habits and patterns, where can you finally let go of something that has been holding you back from truly living your juiciest, fullest life? Find the balance between honoring where you’ve been and moving forward without looking back.

The Seven of Thunder (Swords) wants us to stop second-guessing, over-thinking, and judging ourselves in this process. It wants us to know that we are enough. At our essence, at our core, we have been and always will be enough. This isn’t about “fixing” or “changing” ourselves like we’re broken somehow. It is about remembering our inherent wholeness, owning our worth, and reclaiming the power of self-definition.

The Harvest of Stones (King of Pentacles) already knows you’re a boss. It reminds you to connect with your strongest ally, your greatest protector, the one who got you here despite whatever obstacles you may have faced. And that’s you, baby. Yes, with gratitude for all the help and support others gave along the way, but do not forget to honor yourself for how far you’ve come. It’s time to start living by the well of experience you’ve gained throughout your story and to know that you have everything you need within you to turn the page to the next chapter.

May we embrace the wisdom of our journey not as a burden, but as a gift. May we bring along what sets us free and leave the rest behind. May we know deep in our bones that our authentic, messy, divine selves are the real magic we need in the world.

The Full Moon in Libra on April 1—opposite the Sun and Saturn conjunct in Aries—wants us to embrace balance in our relationships rather than becoming overly self-reliant.

Aries is used to getting things done on their own, but part of the work with this sign is to recognize where independence becomes isolation.

It doesn’t make us weak to need each other. We can ask for support without becoming co-dependent. There is always room for collaboration and connection.

Square Jupiter in Cancer, we could find ourselves resisting the need to cocoon when we need to recharge. How can we listen to the wisdom of our bodies and put down what becomes too heavy to carry? Where can we allow ourselves to be nurtured?

Sextile Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius, we are called to reclaim our right to shine, to hold on to optimistic expectation, and to refuse to let our joy be stolen. Without bypassing or tuning out completely, where can we activate hope as a healing strategy? Can we make someone laugh? Can we refuse to give up the dreams of a brighter future?

Trine Pluto in Aquarius, there are some big opportunities to move through the pain and find something new and beautiful on the other side.

We are in this together, friends. May we forever recommit to being warriors for love. 🌕✨

Join me Sunday, June 21 from 10AM-5PM in Somerville to learn the foundations of reiki energy healing! 🌀✨

In Reiki Level I, we cover the history and techniques of Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki as you prepare to practice reiki for yourself and others. Experience joy, peace, and unconditional love as you expand your understanding of the energy that connects us and learn how to channel it for mind, body, and spirit healing.

This training is for you if…

✨You want to deepen your spiritual practice and learn how to share energy healing with friends, family, pets, and even trees and plants.

✨You would like to learn another healing tool to help support your mental and physical health, relaxation, and general well-being.

✨You want to learn reiki in a gentle, affirming, trauma-informed, inclusive environment that bridges the practical and the spiritual without bypassing or generalizing about anyone’s lived experience.

✨You are ready to grow as a soul, feel more connected to your intuition, inner wisdom, ancestors, spirit guides, collective consciousness, and the energy of the universe.

Reiki has helped me get in touch with the deepest truths of who I am, manage anxiety and chronic pain, feel grounded and centered through big life transitions, and so much more. As we take the time to cultivate radical self-love and acceptance, we grow our capacity to love and accept all that is, work for collective change, and help heal the planet. Plus, reiki can provide some of the deepest rest and peace we’ll ever experience!

The class will be held in a private art studio in Somerville located near the T and with ample parking in the neighborhood on Sunday. Space is limited. Register here: https://heronkind-schedule.as.me/reikilevel1june2026

Can’t wait to spend this sacred time together 💖

Thank you to the sweet souls who joined me for our monthly virtual reiki circle last night. So much softness, even in the face of what’s hard. Spirit is always in conversation with us. May we remember that we’re held beyond what our eyes can see and celebrate the connections that last beyond lifetimes 🩵✨

With the New Moon in Pisces on March 18—just two days before the Spring Equinox and the beginning of Aries Season—we may feel like we’re being pulled forward faster than our feet can carry us.

The shift from water to fire is meant to be enlivening, not so abrupt that we burn out before we get the chance to simmer in the magic that’s been brewing beneath the surface.

Conjunct the Sun in Pisces and a major Saturn-Neptune conjunction as both planets have shifted into Aries, there is immense energy for change and action, for dissolving what hasn’t worked in our world for a very long time to make room for more of what does. We will likely feel a call to show up, take responsibility, and engage more with the crumbling and creating taking place around us, offering our compassion and imagination to build new ways of being.

Sextile Uranus in Ta**us, it’s vital that we stay grounded in ourselves, our communities, and the reasons why we’re willing to work so hard to uproot what no longer holds us and lay down a more solid foundation.

Mars and Mercury are also conjunct the North Node in Pisces, which can either push us towards disassociation and numbness or inspire us to channel all our love and wisdom into something beautiful.

The collective consciousness is more than just a spiritual concept; it is a living, breathing energy that connects us across time and space with the guidance of our ancestors and the wellspring of love that unites us all. Can we trust in the strength of our hearts to crack open just a smidge more, to let that love in deeper, and to share without reservation? Healthy boundaries, open hearts is a meditation that will serve us well.

May we remember how sacred it is to feel. May we allow that feeling to reignite our spark and carry us into the next chapter with all the passion and purpose we need to keep going. 🌙✨

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 3 offers us the opportunity to shed another layer of control while staying devoted to the routines and practices that help us heal.

This entire cycle of eclipses on the Pisces-Virgo axis has been about the balance of order and chaos, body and spirit, holding on and letting go. We may find ourselves in a full-circle moment, a sense of completion or acceptance washing over us as we reflect on the journey we’ve taken this past year. Where were you able to release your grip on something that wasn’t the healthiest for you? How were you able to create more moments of whimsy and play even while grappling with the hard work of being alive?

Opposite the Sun, Mercury retrograde, and the North Node in Pisces, this tug-of-war between the big picture and the details could have some extra lessons to share with us before the eclipse cycle fully moves on to Aquarius-Leo. Conjunct the South Node in Virgo, we are being asked to cut cords with whatever holds us back from the next chapter in our evolution. Less overthinking, more feeling into and embodying the changes we want to embrace.

Sextile Jupiter in Cancer, there is a very nurturing, intuitive energy that wants to hold us through these shifts, but we do need to boldly move outside of our comfort zone if we want to keep growing. Hold onto what supports you in challenging outdated behaviors and beliefs and seriously question what tries to keep you stuck in the same. Who we are at our core is love, and that will never change. Allow the other pieces that don’t make sense to dissolve to make room for more of what is real.

We are all on this healing journey together, my loves. Deep breaths. We got this. 🌕✨
