LIBRA FULL MOON LUNASCOPE


FINDING YOUR BALANCE

The intense pressure we've been navigating since the beginning of March, begins to ease with the arrival of the Libra Full Moon.

It has been a powerful time, and this Libra Full Moon is the final push to bring unresolved situations to a climax, and complete significant cycles.

As chaos unfolds on the global stage, with President Trump challenging the foundations of the global neoliberal system, finding balance amidst the turbulence, and acknowledging the duality of our world, is becoming increasingly essential for cultivating a sense of calm and inner harmony.

This very beautiful psalm in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 that me and my siblings learnt from my father, is a powerful reminder that everything is cyclical, and must come to an end.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

This Libra Full Moon is helping us to recognise where this duality is playing out in our personal lives, and in the collective. It reminds us that when we surrender, trust, allow and receive we can find the balance, and feel less stressed and anxious.

Try not to let your inner critic beat you up. If you have been going round in circles, or taking two steps forward and one step back, it can be easy to fall into victim mode, and feel like a failure.

We are still in a big process, and this Full Moon is clearing and completing any last loose ends that are still left over from the eclipse window, especially around relationships.

To support this process of completion, Mercury went direct on 7th April, and Venus, Libra's ruling planet, will go direct on the same day as the Libra Full Moon.

Fortunately, this Full Moon also offers a much-needed breather, a chance to step back, take stock, and reflect on how far you’ve come since the Virgo Full Moon Eclipse, a month ago.

After the storm there is always a period of growth and transformation, and this Libra Full Moon will help you make sense of the last few weeks. Especially if they have been intense, and you have had to face some big and potentially life changing situations.

This Full Moon can also bring clarity to your emotional state. Whatever has unfolded in recent weeks, now is the time to process it. Finding quiet moments to meditate or simply sit in stillness can help you reconnect with yourself, and hear what your intuition is telling you.

This Libra Full Moon is also calling us to to assess the give-and-take in our lives:

  • Are we able to honour our needs while also considering others?

  • Are we in alignment with our values, or have we been compromising too much to try and fit in?

  • Are our boundaries healthy, or are we giving too much to toxic people?

The answers you've been looking for around love and relationships may come to light under this Full Moon. Since Venus went retrograde on March 1st, our relationships have been under the microscope, helping to strengthen our boundaries.

This Libra Full Moon allows us to clearly see the lessons we've learned in our relationship with ourselves, and how that dynamic plays out in our connections with others.

This could also be the final push you need to end a relationship/friendship that no longer serves you. This Libra Full Moon reminds us that all our relationships are for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.

When we can see the cycle is at an end, it is easier to let go.

This Libra Full Moon is illuminating the shift, and turning point many of us have been waiting for. We will feel more clarity, focus, and creativity, especially if things have been sluggish, and there has been little physical progress.

Just like in Nature, not all trees bloom at the same time. After this Libra Full Moon, the conditions begin to shift, creating the momentum needed to move your projects and creative endeavours forward, mirroring the natural world as it becomes more energised, outward-facing, and in a cycle of growth and fertility.

Adding to this momentum, Mars forms a dynamic square to both the Sun and Moon, igniting a fiery surge of energy from within. This spark can awaken fresh ideas, bold visions, and renewed creativity, especially if things have felt slow or stagnant.

This Libra Full Moon is a powerful reminder to find alignment and balance within yourself by creating stronger and healthier boundaries, speaking your truth, and honouring your needs, as much as you honour the needs of others.

FULL MOON RITUAL

A shamanic exercise to help you stay connected - the Full Moon energy is potent the day before, the day of the Full Moon, and the day after.

This Libra Full Moon encourages us to make our surroundings beautiful and harmonious.

This is the perfect time for doing some spring cleaning. Use the full moon energy to rearrange, redecorate, and restore the balance and freshness of your home.

Be ruthless and clear out anything that you don`t use, want or need. This can be challenging but clearing the old allows space to bring in the new. It is a liberating exercise, so really `get your house in order,` both metaphorically and physically, in order to enjoy the Spring energy that is now in full flowering.

This is also a good time to make peace with anyone at work, or with any close relationships that have become hostile and acrimonious. If there is something you have needed to say to someone, don’t harbour and suppress animosity. Find a good moment and say it under this full moon without blame.

The Libra full moon will help you see the other person’s perspective, and feel more balanced, harmonious and forgiving, so you can find resolution, let go of any pride, and be the one to make peace and heal the wounds.

This is also a great Moon to clean your crystals.

Bury them in the earth the night before the full Moon for three days, so they become imbued with the energy of Mother Earth, the energy of the Moonlight, and the rays of the Sun, readying them for when we will set intentions for the coming months.

I will end this Lunascope with the wise words of Mark Twain:

What is joy without sorrow? What is success without failure? What is a win without a loss? What is health without illness? You have to experience each if you are to appreciate the other. there is always going to be suffering. it’s how you look at your suffering, how you deal with it, that will define you."

Mark Twain
