This weekend is no ordinary weekend…
We’re hosting our final Spring Market at our beloved space on 200 W. Mary—& we intentionally chose this date. It aligns with the Full Moon in Libra, a moon that brings balance, beauty, & with your help - the blessing of conscious closure.
This Full Moon invites us to gently release the past & step forward into a more aligned future— & what better way to mark this next chapter than to gather with this wonderful community, celebrate the season, & honor this space & all the people (& pets) who have come through these doors over the past 39 years?
Yes, in case you have not heard —The Herb Bar is moving! �At the end of this month, we’ll be heading east to a new location in Cherrywood (3200 Merrie Lynn), & while change is never easy, this particular moon feels like a gift, like the wind is at our backs & we are fully supported in moving forward.
✨ The Libra Full Moon - More Beauty... More Harmony
This Full Moon reminds us that balance isn’t a fixed point—it’s something we cultivate, moment by moment. With Venus finally moving direct after six long weeks in retrograde, & Mercury now direct as well, there are signs of some forward momentum. Finally. But you are not rushing. Rushing does not cultivate balance. It ruins the vibe & you cannot take in all the beauty if you are rushing. As we are in the thick of spring, there is just too much beauty to miss out on. So, before all the parts of you that have felt held up, stifled, or even frustrated over the past many weeks… pause. Smell the roses. They are popping off right now. Everything is.
As if every bloom weren’t enough of a reason to slow down, we need time to allow the transformative power of these retrogrades to settle in & honor the endings they’ve brought us. We are called to integrate what’s been revealed, to acknowledge what has held us up & helped us grow.
Just as Venus is going direct, this Full Moon is exactly opposing Chiron in Aries—an aspect that adds an extra layer of healing energy to the mix. Chiron, the Wounded Healer, shows us where our deepest wounds lie, & also where our greatest potential for healing exists. Named after the mythological centaur—both teacher & healer—Chiron teaches us that there is medicine in pain.
In Aries, Chiron emphasizes wounds tied to our ability to assert ourselves, to claim our space, to pursue what we desire, & to take action. It’s about healing our relationship with masculine energy, regardless of gender, & exploring constructive ways to express our anger & drive.
& this is where Venus’s direct motion & Chiron’s placement come together. Venus represents the feminine—the receptive, loving, & beautifying energy—while Chiron in Aries calls us to heal & claim our right to exist, to be bold & take the initiative. It’s a moment to reflect on how we assert our desires & how we allow ourselves to receive love & support. There’s a delicate balance between the two energies, & this Full Moon asks us to find harmony between action & receptivity, assertiveness & softness.
💭Things to ponder under the full Moon..
What parts of me have been wounded by not asserting myself, or by suppressing my desires?
How can I honor both my masculine & feminine energies as they heal?
What am I ready to release in order to move forward with more peace?
How can I soften, while still standing strong in my truth?
🌷 We hope you’ll join us at the Spring Market— our final one at 200 W. Mary. Some of our favorite local vendors will be set up in the yard. Souly Divine will be back with their Aura Photobooth - first come first serve! A local henna artist - Lady Paraffin - is joining us. Jenny Oakwalker will also be at the market offering Akashic Record readings.
We will close the day with a Full Moon Ceremony, releasing what no longer serves us into the cauldron.
Mark your calendars:
✨ Our final day open at 200 W. Mary will be April 27th—the day of the Ta**us New Moon, a perfect cosmic backdrop to plant intentions for the next chapter. We'll be sharing more soon about that day & how you can be part of our closing ritual & new beginning.
Affirmation for this Full Moon:
I release what no longer serves me with grace. I honor the spaces that have held me & make room for what’s next. I trust the timing of my life. I welcome harmony into my transitions, knowing I am always supported.
✨ We would truly appreciate it if you took a moment to share this news with your community. Invite a friend to the market, a loved one, or someone who’s never been to The Herb Bar before. Let’s gather in celebration, in reflection, & in gratitude for all the love & magic this space has held.
