A Powerful Full Moon in Libra
On April 12th or 13th, depending on your location on the planet, the Full Moon will occur at 23 degrees and 19 minutes of Libra, with the Sun in Aries forming a T-square to Mars in Cancer. Venus rules the Moon in Libra, while Mars rules the Sun in Aries. This configuration highlights the profound power of this cardinal full moon, bringing in an energy whirlwind.
Mars in Cancer: A Struggle
Mars in Cancer is exhausted, as he’s been in this sign for some time and doesn’t thrive here. Coupled with the challenging aspects of the Moon, the Sun, and Chiron, we may experience heightened emotional reactions with bursts of frustration. However, the harmonious alignment between Mars and Venus, the archetypal lover, potentially softens these responses, allowing us to take a breath before reacting. Keeping this in mind will help foster a sense of calm.
Sensitivity and Healing
As the Sun travels next to Chiron, supersensitivity may intensify, leading to triggering emotions. However, the opposing Moon will help us step back and evaluate parts of our lives that require healing or release. The moon’s illumination will shed light on matters we may have avoided or not consciously aware of, urging us to address them promptly.
Embracing Release
Full moons signify release, endings, and culmination. This particular full moon emphasizes letting go of the past. We are on an emotional rollercoaster, and interactions centered on love and kindness can help bring a sense of peace. A wise friend once said, “Go where it’s warm.” It’s essential to release anyone who doesn’t contribute positively to our lives; friends and loved ones should lift us up, not put us down.
Venus Direct in Pisces: Assessing Relationships
Venus stations direct in Pisces, radiating a lovely, kind, and mystical quality, but is constrained by Saturn for quite a while. Saturn’s influence over Venus encourages us to economize within relationships and finances. It’s not a time for excess, but rather tightening our belts, evaluating and tracking our spending habits. We must also survey whether our romantic and business partnerships are straining our resources. Then, we can proportionately set clear boundaries where necessary.
Consider the following questions:
- Where have I been extravagant?
- What and who truly serves me?
- Where do I need to trim the fat?
Finding Balance Amidst Nervous Energy
There’s a palpable, nervous energy in the air that might inspire physical activity, though motivation may dwindle. Consider instead a leisurely walk in nature and ground yourself by stepping onto sand or soil without shoes. After all, connecting with the earth can rejuvenate your energy with electrons and foster an overall sense of well-being. Don’t forget to breathe deeply and stay centered.
