Full Moon in Libra 2025

On April 12th at 5:22 PM PDT the Moon is Full at 23 degrees Libra 20 minutes. The Sun is opposite the Moon at 23 degrees Aries 20 minutes. This Full Moon is part of the Eclipse Season, and peaks at this moment. The season began with a Total Lunar Eclipse on March 13th, followed by a Partial Solar Eclipse on March 29th. With every Full Moon we observe the culmination of the destinations we set for ourselves, and with this one, the lessons are highlighted.

When the Moon was New in Libra on October 2nd, 2024, there was a Solar Eclipse. The focus was on the individual, the soul, and its mission in this lifetime. When the Moon is in the sign of Libra, we are feeling an emotional balance or lack of it. This is the sign of justice, equality and one to one relationships. It is ruled by the planet Venus, ruling all things we value; love, money, the arts and beauty. When Eclipse Season began, the Aries/Libra axis was activated triggering us to look at our own sovereignty while in relationships with others. With this energy peaking it begs the question, are we in balance or are we people pleasing? Do we tell others what they want to hear, or are we speaking the truth from our hearts? This Full Moon drives us to finally be honest with ourselves and others in order to improve our lives. To not neglect our own well being in order to serve another.

On this occasion the Sun in Aries and the Moon in Libra are both squared by Mars at 27 degrees Cancer. This forms a “T-Square”, with Mars being the focal point and the driving force, pushing the individual towards action and resolution. This energy is direct, sometimes aggressive and combative. You might feel that you need to fight to get what you want and you may tend to have a "me-first" attitude that angers or irritates others. If your desires are frustrated you can become very irritable and bad tempered if you do not have enough vigorous physical activities or other outlets for your aggressive, feisty spirit. Emotionally, this T-Square makes us unusually  temperamental and impatient, tending to respond with a temper tantrum. If you need your cage rattled to get you to take action, here you go:)

With all of these challenging energies, we are blessed with harmonious aspects from Jupiter at 17 degrees Gemini. It sextiles the Sun and trines the Full Moon. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and growth, and while in Gemini it enlarges your social contacts through your immediate environment, and your ability to communicate, learn new subjects and follow new interests. When sextile the Sun, the influence is positive and optimistic, with a feeling like starting over with a clean slate. With the trine to the Moon, you are feeling easygoing, agreeable, and tolerant, willing to overlook others' mistakes, forget the past, and begin again on a positive note. Jupiter soothes the otherwise charged atmosphere of the Sun and Moon.

Each day can be a new chance to begin again, and these planets and luminaries are urging us to take the less traveled path. We can access the courage of the Sun in Aries, the fairness and neutrality of the Libra Moon, the nurturing of Mars in Cancer, and the abundance of information from Jupiter in Gemini. No longer sitting in judgment of ourselves, but picking up the torch to light the way to. The key is love and respect for ourself first as without us there is no we:)

As an aside, following the Full Moon things will begin to settle down if we take the high road. Now with Winter behind us we feel the Sun setting again, bringing us all more Vitamin D. Another highlight this month is the Lyrid Meteor Shower, happening in predawn hours from April 16-25, with it peaking on April 22nd. The “falling stars”, aka meteors, will be traveling from South to North at 15 to 20 happening per hour! So if you get up early, go outside with a blanket and a warm drink and wait for the show to begin!
