Yasmin Boland: This week could change your relationships and your money story in ways you didn't see coming. This is one of those weeks where emotions are going to peak and the truth could come out. If something's been brewing in one of your most important one-to-one relationships, this is when it's very likely to show itself. We've got a full moon, we've got Venus changing sides, and we've got a pretty intense Pluto clash. Welcome. the Manly Moonology podcast. So we're building to the full moon in Libra. Now, Libra is the sign that is all about relationships, balance, fairness, and full moons always bring things to a head. They reveal and they release stuff. So expect a bit of emotional clarity, but also the possibility of some intensity. In fact, the key words for this full moon in Libra are intensity, Transformation, there is the chance of power struggles because of that Pluto square and there are tensions. So that can be romantic relationships, business relationships, even friendships. Where have you been over giving or under giving? Where is something out of balance in one of your most important one-to-one relationships? If something is working, this week's astrology can really help deepen. your connection, but if something's not working, it's likely to become very obvious. So key ideas to think about, what are you tolerating that you shouldn't be? Or where do you need to restore balance? Now, one thing could be, for example, if you're someone who's very underconfident, maybe you've got a bit of social anxiety, maybe you had a rough time with friends as a child. And so now you're a bit insecure when it comes to your friendships. This is the full moon. to let that kind of difficulty go. And it can also apply in romantic relationships. Maybe you need to turn a corner romantically. Maybe you've had a tough time in the past and you're gonna draw a line under that. This full moon is the time to do that because it's in the sign of Libra, which is the sign of partnerships. Also this week, we get Venus moving into Taurus. Now this is actually gorgeous because Venus loves being in Taurus. Venus is at home here. Venus is at home in two signs, Taurus and Libra. And so here we have the full moon in Libra, which is a Venus sign, and we get Venus moving into Taurus, her other sign. So there's going to be a desire for stability. It's going to be quite essential vibe. And it can also be about real world love and money. So a few things to think about. You might find yourself this week kind of craving comfort. as Venus moves into carbohydrate loving Taurus. It can be a time where you're going to be asking yourself questions like we mentioned about how secure are you? You know, it's a time when you might crave more security or maybe you need to reach out to a friend and say, look, I don't know why, but I'm feeling a bit insecure about this. It's also a very good time for turning things around according to your physical appearance because Venus is about Beauty, Paris is a Venus sign, we've got the full moon in the other Venus sign of Libra. So pretty good time for a makeover if you think you need to go and get yourself one of them. And it's also good for abundance because all these energies are about abundance. So think about where you need to turn the corner when it comes to abundance. And also think about the axis that the full moon in Libra straddles. It straddles the Aries Libra. axis. Aries, and we all have Aries in our chart somewhere, Aries is very much the me, me, me sign and Libra is the sign that's all about you and me, you and me. Try and find a balance now between those two energies. That's why I said, where are you giving too much? Are you accepting too little? Here from the diary, it says, would be absolutely marvelous if every four-moon in Libra was easy and pleasant. After all, Libra is a pretty pleasant sign ruled by pretty and pleasant Venus. If that were the case, then every Full Moon in Libra would be a wonderful chance to start all over again when it comes to our most important one-to-one relationships. We'd simply segue from troubled times to better times. We'd turn the corner in all our most important relationships without looking back and with no struggles, but we all know that doesn't always happen. This Full Moon in Libra may be challenging. It could lead to happier relationships. But they might result from some tensions that you have to work your way through. The reason for this is that at the time of the full moon, Libra's planet Venus is clashing with Pluto, which suggests there could be trouble in paradise for relationships. So that's the thing. This Venus square Pluto is intense. Okay. It can be intense for love. It can be intense for money. It can actually even be intense for your self-worth. So a few things to think about, are you involved in a power struggle with someone? And if you are, then you need to really try and use the full moon to move through that. Have you been obsessing about someone? Because if you have, now's a really good time to work through that. There's also a sense that truth that's been buried can come out now with this Venus square Pluto, because squares cause things to happen. They like push things. Like that itch that has to be scratched and full moons obviously very illuminating very often. Can be a time where you start to see what's actually going on, you know, underneath beneath behind the facade, behind the superficiality. And also it's not a good time if you've been pretending everything's fine. If you've been going through a rough time and you've been hiding it, it may well be a chance where you say, you know what, I'm not going to hide it anymore. Let's just do a card. Everybody who's watching, think about a relationship in your life, which is troubled and that you need to turn the corner on. Okay. Maybe you need to stop trying to control things. Maybe you need to let go. Maybe you need to stop allow yourself being controlled. Okay. I'm going to take this card. So if this card is for you, put it in the comments or, or give this video a like. Just to commit to it, is this card for you? this, thinking about the relationship, you know, you need to turn the corner on. This is the message. ⁓ it's actually a really nice one. Hopefully you said this card was for you because it says, luck is on your side. So in other words, whatever is going on for you when it comes to this relationship, try not to worry too much because ultimately it is going to be. Okay. It's got Sagittarius energy, which is beautiful. And speaking of Sagittarius energy, we actually have some big Sagittarius energy this week because we're going to get Mercury, Trine, Jupiter. So this is kind of like the saving grace of the week because apart from anything else, it means that communications are going to flow. It's going to be a good time having big conversation, so maybe some of those things which are coming to light, you can actually talk them through. It's really maybe a time to say what needs to be said, because then we're talking about turning around, turning things around a lot. Things can turn around with communication and with this beautiful card, luck is on your side. And know that if you do have that tough conversation, it should leave you feeling good. So overall, we could say this is a week of high emotions, intensity, emotional truths can come to light and love and money themes are likely to be front and center. You're being asked to move on from drama into something that's going to feel more kind of Venus in Taurus, which is very real and grounded. So if I had to give you a practical what to do, I would say based on the astrology, ask yourself where Is my life out of balance? You know, where have I been obsessing? Where have I been clinging onto the past? And decide what am I no longer available for? What am I just releasing? Okay. And aim for something that feels solid and safe and true, all very Venus in Taurus. And have the conversation you've been avoiding if you know it's time. So if something shifts this week, trust it. Okay. This week it's... There could be a bit of disruption, but it's actually about disruption that leads to realignment. Okay. So maybe you know, you need to be realigned. No, my word for the year is alignment. And some of you have said that's your word too. You know, and it's a time to try and move into alignment with who you are and who you want to be. And the question is less, you know, why is this happening to me? It's really what is. this showing me about what I truly want and who I truly am. And I'm just going to finish with quote that I don't know who first said this. It's quite a well-known quote. Life doesn't happen to us. It happens for us. So think about whatever you're going through that maybe is going through some shifts this week. Why is this happening for you? How is this helping you? All right. That's it from me this week. I'll speak to you next week. Thanks for listening. And if you're new around here, like and follow for more.
