Full Moon in Libra + Venus Direct in Pisces

A ritual letter for beauty, balance, and returning to the heart

👋 Hi, I’m Anaïs. Cycle & Ceremony is my lunar ritual newsletter, a rhythm of reflection, seasonal practice, and sacred re-entry. I write about living in tune with the moon, with your spirit, and with the cycles that don’t always make sense on a calendar.

🌿 If you're seeking slower, soul-rooted tools for moving through change, this space is for you. My work weaves together ritual, mysticism, and psychospiritual guidance. It's not about perfection. It's about practice.

🌓 You’re reading a moon letter, part of a bi-monthly rhythm that arrives on the New & Full Moons. Each post includes reflection, ritual, and a deeper offering inside The Inner Tide (for paid subscribers).

Full Moons often illuminate the shadow. This full moon isn’t loud, it quietly reflects.

The moon rises full in Libra, sign of justice, harmony, and sacred symmetry.
And just as it does, Venus (ruler of Libra) stations direct in Pisces, asking us to soften back into love, into clarity, into forward movement.

Together, these transits bring questions to the surface:
What does balance really mean in our relationships (with ourselves, with others, with the sacred)?
Can something be out of harmony and still be held in love?
Or is the pursuit of balance itself a kind of dissonance?

Venus in Pisces seeks union — to merge, to blur, to dissolve into love.
Libra seeks reflection — to find itself through the other.
Union and symmetry are not the same thing.
Sometimes love wants to merge.
Sometimes it wants to mirror.
This moon asks: can we hold both?

We’re halfway through a cycle that began with sacred risk (Aries New Moon):
a spark that called us into motion, asking us to jump before we could see where we would land.

These transits make me wonder:
Where can I bring beauty and balance into the life I liberated myself to live?

This lunation doesn’t promise answers, simply space for reflection.
A chance to see what’s ready to realign, what’s ready to fall off, and what has already been in alignment.
Not with urgency, but with honesty.

You don’t have to fix it.
You might name it, find the edges you can start to wrap your arms around.
And in this reflection, you may begin to shift the shape of what love looks like.

🌕 Living by the Moon

a rhythm check-in for your body and breath

The moon doesn’t just move through the sky, it moves through us. I have a friend (a Capricorn 👀) who is adamant that planets and celestial bodies do not have an impact on how we move through the world.

I always laugh and say,
“How bold to believe you’re immune to the moon when the ocean, the plants, the animals feel every phase, every tide, every lunation.”

We are made of water.
The tides pull us, too.
To deny that is not logic, it’s disconnection.

This section is a way back to remembering.
A pause. A rhythm. A breath inside the cycle.
A reminder to attune, to feel into the elemental rhythm of the moment,
and to meet the moon with your whole self: breath, body, and truth.

🌬 Elemental Focus: Air

This is a moon of clarity with softness,
a breath of truth that moves gently, but moves nonetheless.

With Venus now direct, the air clears in our relationships, too.
Words unspoken may find their voice.
Beauty may return to places we thought were fading.
Love, redefined, begins to move forward again.

Your ritual can be spacious:

• Burn incense or open a window

• Write a letter you don’t need to send

• Speak something aloud you’ve only been thinking

• Let wind or breath move through your altar

• Sit in stillness and listen for what love sounds like now

There’s no need to fix or force.
There’s only the invitation to clear the air and let what’s true find you in the quiet.
