Monday will be a significant day as the planet celebrates her total balance in light with the celebration of the Vernal Equinox, doing so at a time of ambiguity and confusion in our world when everything by contrast seems out of balance.
Next week’s full moon will be the prelude to a period of great events and tumultuous times, in itself a time of surprise and change and highly charged energy but dwarfed by what follows it.
