Easter Full Moon 2019
April 19, 4:12 am PDT
This month’s full moon marks the first of the Three Festivals of Spring. In the esoteric philosophy, we are told that these first three full moons of the astrological year set the tone for the remaining months of the year. The Aries festival, sometimes called the Festival of Easter emphasizes the principle of resurrection and renewal. All of nature is coming to life after the long winter of hibernation. Aries, being an initiating energy brings new ideas into the consciousness of awakening humanity. Next month, at the Wesak festival, in Taurus, those ideas will be grounded in physical reality through the joining of the energies of the Buddha and the Christ. The Buddha brings illumination from the cosmic realms to join with the love/wisdom embodied in the Christ. Finally, in June, the Gemini month, we celebrate the Festival of Humanity. At this full moon, the energies that were manifested at Wesak are now distributed to all of humanity. The Wesak festival is considered the most powerful of these three full moons since it joins the Buddha and the Christ.
At this full moon, we are invited to spend some dedicated time in our meditation practice. To receive the impressions from the higher realms that bring in the new ideas, we must have established a strong connection to our higher mind. In this way, we are open channels that can be used to manifest the new world we are trying to create.
This particular full moon has some interesting aspects to consider. Every full moon marks some kind of ending, but because this full moon is at 29 degrees of Libra, Aries opposite sign, there is an extra focus on getting something finished. Something needs to be completed before we move on. Asking ourselves these questions might help us see what is standing in the way, what needs to end to move forward with more clarity and authenticity.
Is there anything that feels out of balance in my life?
What would a harmonious life look like to me?
Do I feel a sense of equality in my relationships? If not, what needs to happen to address that inequality?
What action can I take to resolve this imbalance?
Another aspect that needs attention is the t-square with Pluto and the full moon. This will bring up issues around power. Where in lives do we feel powerless? Where is our power exaggerated or misused? This aspect asks us to look carefully and then decide on what “right action” needs to happen to gain a new perspective or adjust the imbalance. Because of the proximity of this t-square to the South Node, we can assume that any power or control issues will be rooted in patterns of the past.
Let us prepare ourselves for meditation
To begin our meditation today, please make sure you are seated comfortably, with the spine relatively erect, but with no undue tension or strain. Gently now focus on the breath. Breathing slowly and rhythmically. Let the nervous system carry the message of relaxation to every organ, muscle, tendon, ligament, bones, skeletal system and cells. Feel the body as it lets go and enters a deep state of relaxation.
Now, silently breath an OM into your physical body, allowing it to go even deeper into relaxation. (pause) Then breathe a silent OM into your emotional body and feel the steadiness that occurs as the emotional body aligns with that OM. Finally breathe a silent OM into the mental body, allowing the mind to become quiescent and still. Feel the alignment that takes place when the body, the mind, and the emotions are all filled with the peace of the sacred OM.
Now let us spend a few moments contemplating this powerful Aries/Libra energy. Let us consciously open ourselves to receive this resurrecting energy of this Festival of Easter. Notice if you are willing to open. If so, imagine breathing this energy of renewal and rebirth into your entire body. Feel yourself come alive as this energy settles into every cell of your body. What does it feel like to welcome this energy into yourself? Now filled with this sacred energy let us silently contemplate these questions.
Is there anything that feels out of balance in my life?

Do I feel a sense of equality in my relationships? If not, what needs to happen to address that inequality?
What action can I take to resolve this imbalance?
Take a moment now to give thanks for any clarity that you received and for this special moment, this Festival of Easter, of resurrection and renewal. Let us bless whatever is wanting to come forth within us this next month. Let us bless our courage to bring it forth, our daring. Let us renew our minds, that they may be more perfect vessels for the Soul’s illumination. Let everything within us be resurrected, be made new that we might be of greater service.
Let us bring ourselves back now, to the stillness of the room in which we are seated. Take a moment to align yourself with the earth, to come fully back into your body.

Hi Karen,
I liked your meditation, though the date and time were off by about 7 days. The Full Moon occurred at 4:12 AM PDT on April 19th. I look forward to next month’s meditation.

Hi Karl
This was totally my mistake, not Karen’s. It has now been corrected, so grateful for your attention to detail.
Thank you!
