In partnership with

Greetings friends,

This full moon is the grand finale of some pretty big cycles, but it also marks a renewal—a journey completed and the reward that comes at the end. We’re concluding Venus retrograde with this full moon, as she turns direct just a couple of hours after this full moon’s exact illumination, but due to this full moon happening in Libra, the sister to Aries, we may also feel like the events of eclipse season, and on a grander scale, the Aries-Libra nodal cycle, are packaged up a bit more neatly through this full moon. Mars moves back into Leo in just five days as well, meaning that this full moon marks the completion of a pretty significant period of reflection, pause, and reconfiguration, but it also notes the turning point where we’ll be able to start building momentum to pursue our ambitions ahead of us without carrying any dead weight.

This moon, simply put, is a great time to do our “spring cleaning,” but not just in our living spaces. This moon is a space to audit our lives and truthfully assess how each piece is operating in our experiences so that we can identify whether they’re an asset or a detriment to our expansion and growth.

On a personal note, this full moon is one that I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time; we have been moving through retrograde after retrograde these past five months, and April is the month where things start to fall back into place and inspiration, motivation, and clarity are easier to come by. As we move through the rest of April, we’ll likely feel our energy levels rising and stabilizing; many of us, especially those with fire and air Mars, may find that we are accomplishing far more in a couple of weeks than we’ve been able to get done in the past few months. The summertime is going to be much faster-paced, as we’ll have some pretty significant shifts from the outer and social planets, meaning that spring is for us to organize ourselves for the accelerated pace and cleanse our lives from anything that might clutter our paths.

HERE’S THE BIG PICTURE

This full moon happens in Libra alongside some pretty fascinating conjunctions; we will have Chiron in cazimi with the sun, which will have the sun essentially projecting our wounds around identity and autonomy onto the moon for release. This may involve some pretty significant contractual closures; perhaps we will find ourselves wrapping up some cyclic patterns with partners that we’ve been going back and forth with for several months, or perhaps we’ll be acknowledging a pattern that we have repeated with different partners. We’ll also have Venus, the north node, and Saturn, conjoined together in Pisces, making this a highly spiritual time; contracts are being fulfilled, and our recognition of the patterns repeating is what allows them to finally collapse and clear space for higher vibrational structures to form around us.

This Venus retrograde has been directing us back to ourselves over and over again, intending to have us look beyond the vessels that hold our love and acknowledge that they’re just that: vessels. They are not what grants us access to love; they hold the love we exude. This may refer to romantic experiences but also to money or material security—you can interchange “love” and “abundance,” as they exist on the same frequency. Because this full moon concludes this Venus retrograde and Venus is the ruler of Libra, we may find ourselves initiating some very necessary endings and setting boundaries with others in ways that prioritize our well-being and our maintaining the potency of our own vibrations. This full moon points out how every agreement you make, relationship you maintain, and belief you hold has a direct impact on how you actualize your potential, approach opportunity, and navigate your life, even if you may not think that they influence you enough to change you.

We’re being reminded that the connections we surround ourselves with create the environment we emotionally and energetically live in; the people, things, ideas, beliefs, habits, and rituals we surround ourselves with make up the proverbial soil that we are planted in. This full moon asks us to assess how that soil is nourishing us, as upon examination, we may realize that what was once full of rich nutrients is now bland and stale and is perhaps taking more from us than it is giving. What or who you “marry” yourself to, whether that is a social group, identity, ideology, or person, will either hold you back from your fullest potential or will be the accelerator that pushes you to even greater heights than you’d be able to reach on your own. Through this moon, we may be feeling more honest with ourselves about what is draining us and holding us back, and we’re likely making the adjustments to reflect whatever conclusions we come to.

Your time and energy are your most valuable resources, and with so much concentration around the north node, especially from a planet like Saturn, and also considering that those placements are in Pisces, the final sign, this is symbolic of us being guided to restrict our generosity and consolidate our resources, both material and non-material, so that we can direct them into spaces where we know they will be revered and put to good use. This is not encouraging us to be cold to others or apathetic, but it is advising us to re-evaluate how we’ve perhaps overextended ourselves, which has perhaps led to us becoming so scattered that we’re no longer in alignment with what gives us purpose and is destined for us.

This full moon may have us shedding tangible commitments like jobs or relationships, or perhaps it will have us abandoning a social identity that we’ve constructed to remain compatible with a certain group of people. However, this may also have us letting go of socially conditioned ideologies or internalized “agreements” that we’ve been living by without being fully aware of our doing so. We’re being asked to honor the fact that we have the liberty to make changes to our lives at any moment to make our experiences feel more supportive of who we wish to become and what we want to accomplish; we’re being encouraged to remember that before our energy is ours first and that others are never entitled to it. We may find that there are literal or proverbial contracts that have reached their end, and we’re being asked to part with them under this energy so that we can move on to experiences that will help us continue to discover the capacity of our potential.

If there are conclusions happening in your life right now, consider how you can celebrate the role that they’ve played in your life, but also recognize how your holding onto them may prevent you from fully realizing your soul’s truth and inner calling. This may be a time in which we are recognizing that, in order to keep certain things or people in our lives, we would have to lower our vibration in order to match the frequency that they’re on, and while we may love and appreciate them, holding ourselves in those lower vibrations is simply a sacrifice we cannot make. If things are falling away, send them off with love, but also consider how you can embrace the lightness that comes with your clearing away anything that is no longer aligned with you. And considering Pisces is the sign of secret beginnings—beginnings that are hidden in what we might perceive as endings—know that the conclusions you’re experiencing right now may be the key that opens the door you’ve been trying to get open for the past few months.

Happy full moon, loves.
xx, Aspen

UPCOMING CLASSES

Get your seat at one of my upcoming classes!

LIFE HACK: CHANGE YOUR REALITY FROM THE INSIDE OUT - APRIL 17TH

Manifestation has become such a buzzword nowadays, but oftentimes the conversations that are hosted around it and the practices that are offered to accompany these conversations are hollow and lacking structural integrity, ultimately only offering you 5% of the full picture. We do the practice, say the affirmations, and visualize the outcome, but the results seem to remain elusively in the future. Why?

This approach to manifestation is like believing that the wallpaper is what stabilizes the house—when we are focusing so strongly on the external matter, we set ourselves up for failure. Every house must have a strong foundation to last, and that is where energetic recomposition comes into play.

This class is for those who are ready to take charge of their lived experience and are willing to do the work that is required to honor the soul's instructions. If you are ready for real change, this class is for you. It's not a quick fix. This is not a promise that life will drastically shift the instant our gathering concludes. But the information and insights shared in this space will be the launch pad for you to experience life differently. It will change the way you approach today, tomorrow, and the future as a whole. This class is meant to be the singular shift that creates tremendous change—the pebble whose initial impact is small but ripples throughout the entire body of water.

During this class, you will:

• Learn about how the energetic mechanics of the universe function to construct and stabilize your reality.

• Discover what sustains a reality's structure and how to stop falling back into the same pattern, frequency, and cycle.

• Receive tools to support your integration of the teachings shared in this class to help you design your reality sustainably.

• Understand how Jupiter and Saturn function as tools for reality construction, both natally and in transit.

ABUNDANCE UPGRADE: JUPITER IN CANCER - MAY 3RD

Jupiter is popularly deemed the planet of blessings, good fortune, and luck, but how does that translate into our lived experience? And how do you work with Jupiter to actually get all the benefits? We often hear about the gifts of Jupiter but are seldom told what is required from us to actually acquire and maintain them. In this class, I will share with you everything you need to know to work with Jupiter to maximize your blessings over the next year.

Jupiter significantly reflects how the "bigness" of our lives is strongly connected to how big our mindsets can be, and therefore, working with Jupiter to become a more abundant person—whether that is financially, romantically, emotionally, professionally, or in some other way—is a commitment to changing your mindset just as much as it is a commitment to changing your actions. When Jupiter transits a new sign, it not only provides us with inside information on how to align ourselves with more abundant vibrations, but it also shows us how to maintain abundance once we've acquired it.

Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, meaning that in the next twelve-month period beginning in June 2025, Jupiter's power will be enhanced and will teach us more intentionally about manifestation, as it is also ruling over the north node, as the north node is currently in Pisces.

In this class, you will:

• Learn about Jupiter and how it functions in both the natal chart and in transit.

• Find out what Jupiter in Cancer means and how to leverage its energy to your benefit.

• Understand Jupiter's role in the energetic mechanics of the universe and how to utilize Jupiter in Cancer to upgrade your frequency to manifest more efficiently.

• Discover how Jupiter in Cancer will influence relationships, finances, spirituality, entrepreneurship, and healing.

• Learn how to work with the most prominent Jupiter activations over the next year (including the Jupiter-Saturn Square, Jupiter-Venus conjunction, Jupiter Cazimi/Cancer New Moon, and more!).
