Hello all! We have another moon for you! Contrary to my moon app, this month's full moon will be in Aries ♈ and is the last of 4 consecutive super moons. This moon is a moon of self reflection. Look at what has changed, look at what hasn't changed and look at what needs to change. See how far you have come and see how far you have left to go. Either use this energy to recover from the changes that have happened or use the energy to make changes happen Currently in retrograde, we have: - Mercury (post shadow) - Saturn - Jupiter  - Pluto - Neptune - Uranus Crystals As it's also Crystal Wednesday, it's only fair we start with what crystals are best to work with during this time: - Serpentine - Moonstone - Howlite - Pearl - Bloodstone - Ruby - Red Garnet - Carnelian - Watermelon Tourmaline - Lemurian Seed Crystal - Citrine - Malachite - Red Jasper - Blue Lace Agate - Hematite - Unakite If there are any others that you're drawn to, use those too!!
