Full Moon in Libra - Hidden Forces in Relationships
Full Moon in Libra 2023 - Thursday April 6 at 6h34 CET / 00h34 EST at 16°07’ Libra.
The Full Moon in Libra illuminates on the 5 into the 6 of April, a celebration of our close relationships and the beauty of life. It will also bring to light hidden forces within us and our relationship dynamics and is a wonderful opportunity for both emotional healing and creative expression.
In the midst of the self-expression, pioneering spirit, and action-taking of Aries season, we pause to balance. Libra is an air sign. It seeks to understand and connect. How do we balance being with doing? What is the balance of give and take in our relationships? What does balance even look like to us? These are a few questions that come to mind.
Chart of the Full Moon in Libra, April 6 2023
Revealing what’s hidden
With two major aspects to unearthing, transformative Pluto, things are bound to come to the surface. Firstly Venus (the ruler of this lunation) is in Taurus, forming a square to Pluto in Aquarius. Relationships are intensified, physical desire is stimulated, emotions are heightened, creativity is deepened, and we can more clearly, see the inner workings of our relationships.
Mercury, close by in Taurus also squares Pluto. Although Mercury in Taurus can be stuck in its ways, keep an open mind. We wre more susceptible under this influence to become obsessed with a certain issue, get caught in compulsive thinking, or force our point of view on others. Mercury square Pluto also brings to light hidden forces, a greater awareness or what’s going on, especially what’s under the surface.
Creativity
Venus in Taurus forms a sextile to Neptune in Pisces boosting a creative, romantic sort of imagination, sensitivity to beauty. Our ability to daydream is enhanced, we can more easily tune into the needs of others. Love can feel like a soul-union or a crazy illusion. It’s a great moment for art, music, poetry, and other forms of expression.
Personal freedom
With the Moon in Libra opposite Jupiter in Aries, we’re more generous, but are also craving more personal freedom, which can cause disputes to arise when we assert it. We may also be questioning our fundamental goals and aspirations, especially with the balancing, negotiating energy of Libra.
Emotional healing
With the Moon opposite Chiron in Aries, and the Sun right next to it, this Full Moon will likely be quite an emotional one. It’s a time for emotional healing, reckoning with your individuality, your fears, jealousy, insecurities triggers. Don’t be afraid to face any sort of fears you have, especially when it comes to being yourself in relation to others. This is also a time where your sensitivity and intuitions are allies to help push you forward.
Power to manifest
Mercury, Mars, and Saturn, planets of communication, action, and physical manifestation are also in the mix, helping us commit to ourselves and what we want to bring into the world. Mercury in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces can help with mental precision and honestly evalutating what you can improve. Mercury sextile Mars in Cancer supports hard work, especially that which is emotionally motivated, which can help you process any big feelings or deep wounds. Finally, Mars trine Saturn supports you in doing hard things. You’ll have more energy, particularly with the things you feel like doing (because Mars is in Cancer) and that you believe in (Saturn in Pisces). This energy is careful and precise, and rewards effort over time.
All of this can be very powerful in the process of manifestation, of bring what you desire into the physical world, if you are clear in your intentions and let your actions follow.
In all, don’t forget to celebrate the relationships you have in your life and how they support you and your powerful self. Yes, there might be some hidden forces and dynamics emerging, but I’m sure you have a lot to be grateful for!
