The Full Moon in Libra occurred yesterday morning at 5:27 am Eastern (9:27 am GMT) at 6 degrees. Full Moons represent the culmination of those things that were begun with the New Moon (in this case the March 11 New Moon in Pisces), which found us evaluating our privacy, intuition, and emotions. The Libra Full Moon opposes the Sun in Aries; we are reminded to check ourselves in the progress we made towards our goals set during the Pisces New Moon. Are we being balanced (Libra) in our approach? Or, conversely, are we being overly enthusiastic and adventurous (Aries) when we should be more cautious? Keep in mind that Saturn is retrograde until July 7, so this Full Moon period is going to be

Yesterday I got to see some new items from Lo Scarabeo that will be available in the US very soon. Lo Scarabeo creates innovative tarot and oracle decks. They also make many other items that are of interest to tarot enthusiasts, such as bags and reading cloths. I am particularly excited about their newest reading cloth.

Today I am again playing with cards, just as I did the other day HERE. I am again using the Deck of 1000 Spreads but today I'm also using the Steampunk Tarot. There has been a lot of change in the day to day things of my life. Nothing huge, just mundane stuff, like joining a new gym (after having been with my old one for about 3 years) and switching to cable after being with satellite for 10 years. Through most of my life, such changes were nothing. I always adapted easily. But lately, I feel stubborn and weird about changes, even if they are good ones. Today I asked why I am being this way. I randomly pulled three cards from the Deck of 1000 Spreads to create the positions, then
