Turn on your love light! Friday’s full moon in romantic Libra has us giddy with the flush of spring fever. Partnerships are Libra’s forte, and this full moon sounds the call for commitment. Relationships that have been budding since the Libra new moon six months ago, could blossom full-force.

As a doctor, I know it’s nearly impossible to find balance as a medical student and resident, so when I was asked to lead a webinar for medical students about finding balance during your medical training, I nearly choked on my green juice. What? Balance in medical school? Hogwash!

I recently spent a week up on Lake Erie at the Lakeside resort, which is a Chautauqua community owned by the Methodist church, where like-minded individuals gather for education, as well as spiritual and emotional development (at least that’s what it says on the brochure). Really, it feels more like summer camp.
Little cottages with picket fences line the streets in a grid down to the lakefront, where a park stretches the length of the shore and is lined with putt-putt golf, shuffleboard courts, tennis courts, a historic lakefront hotel, a foot trail, a playground or two, an ice cream parlor, a pizza joint, sunfish sailing, kayaks, a swimming beach, and various sundry diversions. Essentially, there’s just fun stuff to do all day long.

Welcome back to the AstroTwins New/Full Moon series! Today, we dive into the depths with Scorpio's full moon, which cranks up the intensity and tunes us into our souls. Scorpio is a spiritual healer and the ruler of extremes. It can bring out both our darkest shadows and our highest selves. The Scorpio full moon reveals all of the “secrets” we’ve been keeping (including hiding our own light under a bushel). Open closet, exit skeletons.
This year’s Scorpio full moon is also opposite four planets in practical, grounded Taurus, indicating that we need to balance our material and spiritual desires. It’s fine to crave more money, luxury and beautiful things, but is it at the expense of a soul goal? On the flip side, this opposition reminds us that poverty, lack and struggle aren’t noble—nor are they necessary to be spiritually “enlightened.” Going without doesn’t make us more virtuous, and wanting nice things doesn’t mean we’re out of touch with the divine. Find the right balance today.

So yesterday was Owning Pink’s two year birthday (WOOT!). And yet, we couldn’t get on the site to plan our big PAR-TEE because the site was crashing all of Tuesday afternoon, then night, then well into our anniversary Wednesday...
Why?
Vaginas.

I know to an extent, I've shared my beliefs about God here on Owning Pink. If you've missed those posts from me in the past, let me just warn you I'm about to bust out the "spiritualism." People from every religion speak about TRUTH. When it comes down to it though, in order for it to be true, don't we all have to believe it (or at least feel that it could be true)? What I am going to discuss in this post is something I think can be found somewhere in the writings of every religious organization. Not everyone will chose to embrace it, but I'd bet if they were open to it, they'd find confirmation of it very easily...

This past weekend, my magical eyes got taken for a wild ride. I encountered one of the most challenging magical eye experiences I have ever taken on. At the time it wasn’t clear to me that my magical eyes were the only thing that would save me in this situation. But I was determined to find the underlying value in the conflict that arose.
