Living with the Stars

  A full moon in Scorpio will grace our skies in the early hours of Wednesday 24th April. Full Moons represent the culmination of intentions set 14 days prior, in this case, at the New Moon on the 8th April, which was also a solar eclipse. That eclipse was associated with Chiron, the Wounded Healer, asking us to heal our inner wounds and transform them into our biggest strengths.  This Full Moon is actually doubly emotionally charged.

Prince William was born on the day of a solar eclipse (I mentioned this in a few of my posts on this blog). This, in itself, is not unusual as eclipses do occur bi-annually. However, as the future King of England, it do
