Full Moon in Libra 🌕
The Libra Full Moon seeks to remind us that amidst all the energy, new beginnings, power and passion of the Aries Sun, we must also find balance. Here, we are faced with the opposing views of Me versus We. The Warrior versus the Peacemaker. Aries asks us to be selfish and move forward with everything we have. We tend to think of selfish as a bad word (and it can be), but sometimes the very thing we need is to be selfish in order to get started. After all, if we are always trying to seek balance, we will find ourselves never striving for greatness. The flower will never bloom. The Bear will never wake. Spring will never arrive. But she does. She must be selfish for a time, and then she must return to balance. Both are necessary. So after all this Aries energy, we find ourselves with the Libra Full Moon asking us to come back to balance, beauty and harmony. This is the lesson Libra provides us with.
Full Moons are always a time for releasing. The Moon and Sun are opposite each other and provide us with a perspective that can only be gained from the beauty that comes from the meeting of the two. These opposite energies give us a big, beautiful Full Moon who is radiating in all her glory. She builds up to that energy and then begins to release. And she asks us to release with her.
The Libra Full Moon will be here Saturday afternoon at 11:55 am PT, and she will have some powerful energies working with her giving us an opportunity to reach a new level of harmony and balance in our lives. Aries Season gave us energy for new beginnings. The First Quarter Moon in Cancer asked us to slow down. Now this Full Moon in Libra is asking us to seek balance. This is a journey that Mother Earth takes us through every new Spring. But this year, she’s giving us some extra tools and guidance to help us along our path.
Collectively, our higher consciousness will be much more accessible to us. With Jupiter and Neptune in a tight Conjunction, we are given the ability to tap into higher energies very easily. And…we will have Mars and Saturn providing us with a certain kind of ease in our power and discipline. The only thing that may feel challenging during this time is that the Moon will be Squaring Pluto, which means we may find ourselves feeling sad or withdrawn at certain moments. Any challenges that pop up, you should take as clues that are actually allowing you to see things differently. If it’s not making sense, tap into that higher consciousness I mentioned above and see if you can find some perspective there. It may all be part of your personal journey towards harmony.
Take this time to ask yourself the following questions:
In what area of my life do I need to seek balance?
What does the meeting point between warrior and peacemaker look like to me?
What can I do to bring more beauty into my life?
How to do a Full Moon Ritual
This will be a beautiful Moon to do a Full Moon Ceremony with. You can do it solo or with friends. It’ll be especially impactful to do it with those closest to you. You may even want to grab your partner and ask them to join you because Libra is all about partnership and harmony. The Moon will be at her fullest at 26 degrees on Saturday, April 16th at 11:55 am PT. Any time Friday and most of the day on Saturday would be ideal for your Moon Ritual. Moon Rituals are absolutely still very potent on the day before and the day after the Full Moon.
Include the element of Air since Libra is an Air Sign (you can include Air by doing the Moon Ritual outdoors, having a feather or burning incense, etc.)
Include the element of Fire since Aries is a Fire Sign (a candle is ideal)
Prepare something that you’d like to release and write it down (see below Moon Insights for recommendations based on your personal chart)
Find a safe way that you can burn your paper. It can be in firepit or a large non-flammable bowl, etc.
Find a peaceful spot where you won’t be disturbed
Begin with an opening meditation. You can begin with these words: “I ask to release (_______). I am ready to move on without this in my life and I call forward a new reality where I am able to find more balance and harmony in my life. I am here, I am open and I am ready for this change. I am calling upon my Angels (or Source, the Universe, etc) to see me through this transition.” Then allow for a few moments of silence with your eyes closed while you reflect and allow yourself to imagine what your life will look like once you release what you’ve written down.
If you are with others, have each person repeat this and share what they are releasing. After each statement is made, it is vital that the others present acknowledge what has been said and show their support and love for the person making the statement.
After the meditation and support statements are complete, have each person burn their slip of paper
After each paper has finished burning, everyone should say aloud “And so it is”.
Do a closing prayer, acknowledging your gratitude for your Angels (or Source, Universe, etc.) and for the friends who supporting you during the ceremony.
