Saturday’s Full Moon in Libra highlights the axis of self and other, putting our relationships in the spotlight. And it’s intense!!
The Full Moon squares underworldly Pluto, stirring up deep feelings and shadow material, and opening the potential for profound healing and transformation.
Libra is the sign of “the other” – what we project onto others, and what they reflect back to us. We can best work with this powerful Full Moon by recognizing that whatever we see (and especially what feels triggering) “out there” is mirroring a hidden or rejected aspect of self.
The hidden/rejected parts of ourselves are the parts that most need our love, compassion and acceptance. Venus, ruler of Libra and presiding goddess of this Full Moon, is now in Pisces, the sign of her exaltation, inviting us to soften and open our hearts wide enough to hold ALL the parts of ourselves.
Venus joins the already VERY happening Pisces party – as Jupiter and Neptune, the co-rulers of the Fishes, combine forces in a rare conjunction. The conjunction perfected (was exact) on Tuesday, but the expansive, dreamy, foggy, sleepy energy is still going strong for the next few weeks, and is amplified by the Full Moon.
The higher potential of the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction is to dissolve our old, limiting stories and beliefs in order to uncover our own true essence and soul’s calling and to align with the divine flow. The path ahead may seem mysterious and mentally confounding, so we have to FEEL our way forward, tuning into the small, subtle voice within.
And, here in Aries (go for it!) season, with the momentum of all the planets moving forward (until the end of the month), we need to take action toward our big dreams and soul’s calling (rather than just spacing out in the dreamtime…).
The North Node in Taurus recommends keeping it simple, following and trusting what feels good and what’s in alignment with your values.
The Full Moon occurs on April 16th at 2:55pm EDT/11:55am PDT, at 26° Libra. For more insight into what this New Moon means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 26° Libra.
The areas of life represented by that house are where events are coming to culmination, fruition or completion, and where you’re invited to:
recalibrate your scales and return to balance;
become aware of and own your projections;
open your heart to greater love, compassion and acceptance;
reveal what you’ve been hiding in order to experience more peace.
