April 12, 2025 — A Libra Full Moon arrives on Saturday—the first lunation after eclipse season. This closes the portal of upheaval that we’ve been moving through since March. What’s been stirred, broken open, or revealed over these past weeks now lands in our bodies, hearts, and relationships. This is a Venus-ruled Moon, and Venus herself is stationing direct at this exact moment. Hovering beside Saturn in Pisces, she asks us to decide—What will we commit to? What matters enough to stay and work through the hard parts?

We aren’t escaping into elusive romanticism. This Full Moon illuminates the distance between us—the fractures, old stories, and quiet places of resentment or longing. Directly across the sky, the Aries Sun conjuncts Chiron, the Wounded Healer, triggering the raw tenderness of intimacy. We are at a threshold. It's time to acknowledge that real love requires work. This isn’t the moment to flee when it hurts, but to stay present and take responsibility. We’re repairing what can be repaired—and releasing what cannot.

This is also a Full Moon of justice, accountability, and truth. Libra’s scales are balancing not only our relationships, but our values and the structures of our lives—money, time, and resources. We are getting clear on what’s sustainable, especially in the midst of rising collective strain. Financial pressures are mounting. The markets are volatile. Across the sky, Mars in Cancer squares this Full Moon, making everything feel urgent, personal, and charged.

All of this is building toward a dramatic turning point later this month when the Taurus Sun forms a fierce T-square with Mars and Pluto on April 27. Pressure is intensifying, and something has to shift. Whether that break is internal or external, personal or collective, this Full Moon reminds us that peace is not passive—it is chosen and built. It calls for truth and tenderness, boundaries and grace. Peace asks us to remain both steadfast and tender as we return to our centers again and again, never giving up on what matters most.

As we move through these charged times, Libra helps us find our inner harmony, while Venus and Saturn encourage the vigilance required to stay loving and open. From here, we can reimagine a world rooted in compassion, fairness, and integrity.

Libra Full moon ASPIRATION

On this Libra Full Moon, may we feel immense love without running from ourselves, our values, or each other. May we work steadily for justice, building strong relationships and value systems that can carry us as we gain momentum.
