IF YOU DON’T ASK………
Just over a month ago, a little before the Full Moon in Virgo, a mega earthquake struck Chile and there have been daily aftershocks as the Earth adjusts to the new alignment and since then I have come across many, many questions relating to your personal lives also undergoing a series of shifts and aftershocks.
Monday’s Full Moon at 9 degrees Libra is the culmination of a cycle of readjustment as we leave behind old ways of “being and doing” as we move ahead into new territory. This Full Moon and the New Moon in Aries on the 14th of April, marks the halfway point between eclipses in Capricorn and Cancer which means that we’re at a critical turning point.
With the Moon in Libra opposite the Sun in Aries, our main focus will be on how we balance our own needs with those of others. This is never easy, particularly if you have been brought up to put the needs of others before your own. Many of us are rethinking the load we’re carrying and how much additional weight we can support when others don’t do their part. How willing are you to keep doing a job that’s not yours? How many times to do text or call without a response? How many times do you keep picking up someone else’s dirty socks, or are you constantly bailing out irresponsible relatives, or, forgiving those who constantly disappoint or hurt you?
At some point, we just can’t do it anymore.
Women of my generation were raised to put husband, kids, boyfriends, boss, and everyone but themselves first. Old patterns don’t change overnight, but there will be some important changes on the way, thanks to Venus, the ruler of the Full Moon, in “me-first” Aries.
Admittedly, she’s not at her best in Aries, precisely because the divine feminine she represents is expected to be soft, sweet, communicative, and other people-oriented. Well, forget that! A strong sense of self is prerequisite to so many things in life, and it can make relationships a lot easier when you directly tell others what you want and need. That doesn’t mean you’ll get it, but at least you’ll be clear about why you’re making your point. People often don’t want to be direct about their needs because they fear confrontation.
But with this full Moon you probably won’t be able to avoid a bit of a bumpy ride,
so you might as well speak up for yourself and remember that change simply can’t happen without ruffling a few feathers. This full Moon inspires us to restore some semblance of balance, so make that your goal between now and the New Moon in Aries on the 14th of April, when new directions will become clear in unexpected areas of your life, but remember we’ll need to be ready to hit the ground running and change in an instant.
One last consideration is that the way to deep healing is by communicating your needs and desires. Again, it doesn’t mean you’ll get everything you want, but you certainly won’t get it if you don’t ask.
Love Lee

Morning Lee,
That old saying ‘if you don’t ask you don’t get’
is perfectly true,and I can relate to the fact of putting others first, somehow I doubt I will change on that score.
I have been very clear in what I want from a certain someone,but him being a virgo it’s taking him a while (that’s an understatement)I do ask spirit on a frequent basis to get him to ‘wake up and smell the coffee’ and yes it’s been a bumpy ride at times.
I know it will happen and hopefully before I need a zimmer frame
linda
love and light

Good Morning Lee
I have been looking at balance, as I have been burnt out, hence my ability to watch the shows and draw in from them the wisdom to question and heal and re-align myself!
I am re-structuring my work and approach..and I have come up with a series of pictures in my mind to help me look more clearly..and smile at myself since I am my own boss..
If I sometimes feel like Atlas with the world on my shoulders…would it not be fun sometimes to throw the globe in the air and play catch…to release it and enjoy it…
If I sometimes feel my work is a battle, a fight could I choose my battles more wisely…approaching it like a bowl of mussels where upon I enjoy those opportunities which open and leave to the side those that do not..
And if I walk the tight rope of pure optimism..could I not introduce a parasol to help me …and to build a safety net of support beneath..to catch me on the occasions I fall..
These are the scenes I am contemplating to bring about balance!

Goooooooooooood Morning Gorgeous Lee xxx
Lately I haven’t been able to tune into the show as much but it’s always a pleasure to watch U read with such accuracy, compassion and tact. Your ability to uplift others is truly beautiful and special xxx
I’m reading your blog this morning saying out loud ‘Uh uh…Yes…You know’!! Gosh I can relate and I soooooooo need me some of that Venus in Aries energy!
I’m 32 and although I wasn’t raised that way, I too have it in me to put hubby, kids, boss and others first – all the time!
My baby girl is Aries and I love her bossy and demanding ways already! We call her the Grandma…This baby skipped the Princess bit and jumped straight into ‘Queendom’! Her energy is a true inspiration!
I will certainly be using the next 2 weeks and this shift to improve situations all over…I know exactly what I want and it’s time to communicate this clearly and at consistently. I don’t even mind picking up my man’s dirty socks, but he best be grateful and spoil me once in a while for it!
Your insights, guidance and being are fully appreciated and loved!
Thank You! Loooooooooooooooooooads of Love xxxxxxxxxxxxxGG

Dear Linda
Your time is coming hun, just remember that you are precious and offer so much of your self through your heart. Ask your Virgo to recognise and acjnowledge your precious gift and perhaps he will “smeel the coffee” sooner then later. Thank-you very much for your lovely comment and participation I really appreciate it! All my love Lee
Dear Susan did you hear my mini reading for you this morning regarding working “on” your business not “in” your business? I hope you can relate to my advice to delegate and give yourself the appropriate time to do what you do best and subcontract outsource or employ others to take up the slack especialy on tasks that pull you away from your talents and abilities. All the best for you in the business re-structure and your new balanced approach Love Lee
Dear Angel Sun You certainly bring a breath of fresh air to our programme with you sensitive and articulate blog comments and shine a light for all to see…. thank-you
Yes, please do use this next two weeks to communicate clearly and ask specifically for what you want as this is your time to set clear boundaries and expectations. Blessings to the Aries Queen in your midst and remember to love, laugh and enjoy her amazing spirit…
All my love Lee
