Full Moon in Libra
Saturday morning, April 16, we welcome a Full Moon in Libra as well as a partial Solar Eclipse, thus ushering in what is commonly referred to as “Eclipse Season.”
Eclipses are potent moments of change and revelation, and since this eclipse is coupled with a bright Moon in Libra, it is highly likely that what is revealed or undergoes transformation will have to do with the significant one-to-one relationships in our lives — more specifically, those relationships that we would consider to be partnerships (ie romantic partnership, business partnership, parent/child partnership, etc).
So… if you are hiding something from someone important to you, do yourself and them a favor, and step into the vulnerability of sharing that thing rather than waiting for the agony of being “found out.”
That being said, this is a very potent time to work on transforming any partnership type relationships into something that serves both people involved as Libra is also the sign of balance and harmony.
Putting the eclipse part of this weekend’s astrology aside, this Full Moon is also a great time to look at your own relationship to “me” versus “we.”
Aries, which is opposite the sign of Libra, is very “me” oriented. At its best, Aries is all about using the “me” to help and lead the “we,” but in its more primitive state (as my mentor Dr. Jennifer Freed calls it), Aries is all about using the “me” to help the “me.”
Conversely, the primitive form of Libra is so “we” oriented, it forgets that a “we” is made up of individuals, all of whom have needs that can get lost when their individuality is forgotten. A primitive Libra’s obsession with things being “fair” can also get them caught up in what is fair and balanced for only themselves rather than for everyone, and this is generally born from a sense of insecurity or mistrust that they will, in fact, be seen as important and worthy.
So…
When thinking of harmony, do you include yourself and your needs?
Are you able to compromise so that you and your partner both feel respected and heard?
Where is there space for transformation in your partnerships?
What is your relationship to the idea of “we”?
