How do you break out of a rut? How do you get passed yourself and all the ways you hold yourself back? You could analyse the situation, look at possible action plans, weigh up the pros and cons, decide on the proper and most realistic way forward...

OR

You just GO! 

That's the opportunity in front of us with this Aries New Moon. Aries is that original fire, it's ignition, that first spark. It's the first sign of the zodiac, and rightfully so. The Universe wasn't planned and mapped out, it happened with a BANG, out of nothing the seed of everything appeared.

Why is the New Moon Mix called 'Thermogenesis'? As warm blooded mammals, that's what we call the process of generating heat. It's that internal fire that will be with us 'til the day that we die. Symbolically it's acting off a hunch, taking risks, making new moves, renewing your life.

Maybe for you it's about having a shot at that creative project you've been wanting to get stuck into but have found a myriad of excuses to postpone. Maybe it's about flirting with that girl/boy that you think is probably out of your league. Or deeper than this, maybe it's about asking yourself 'Who am I?' and answering with something a little more radical than usual.

Whatever it might bring for you, the Luna Tuna recommends taking action for this one. To prepare you for that action, here's a funky and upbeat moon mix designed for escalation, to burn away the cobwebs and smash through those paper walls you thought were made of bricks.

Libra Full Moon/Eclipse: Everywhere's the Middle

It's been quite a process bringing this moon mix to you tonight. It's been a week of computer meltdowns and mishaps, and now with the mix ready to go we've gone back to 1999 dial up speeds making the Luna Tuna miss his moon's aliveline.

Is this a product of Mercury making its way across the threshold, the start of the zodiac, a reset button for communications? Is it the interference from this blood moon? Or perhaps the stranger and more bizarre explanation: just chance.

Either way it's here, though not with the degree of Libran precision I would've liked. It arrives on the other side of the full moon, perhaps balancing out this 14° moon, just shy of the middle point of Libra. Balance within balance, the spiral universe and the degrees of reality. We might look at life and not have a sense of the harmony of it, but underneath the divine balance is always maintained.

Libra is the archetypal process of attempting to understand the other. We come into relationship with this sign, learning to see things from another's perspective and finding ways to create a melody with whomever we are with. Yet, this is the place in the zodiac where we first come across the idea of the shadow.

The first shadow: when are you compromising your inner truth in order to keep the peace? Understanding another's perspective is one thing, selling yourself out is quite another. We all know the different flavour.

And then, that mightiest of psychological phenomenon, the projection. This is a tricky area but the rule is simple - know yourself and you'll see, and therefore be able to own, your projection.

With all this in mind the blood red moon mix takes us through the many varied landscapes of relationships, and in no particular order. We go through the highs and the lows of love, as when we take the pill of bliss we know the depth of sorrow will eventually be there to accompany it.

And yet, can you imagine a world that didn't have its own ways of balancing things out that were beyond your control? What kind of place would that be? No place for a fish like me. Without pain, what would we call joy?

So press play and enjoy or bemoan, in equal measure.
