As spring continues to blossom, the sun’s journey through Aries invites us to embrace new beginnings and fresh energy, igniting a period of personal growth and bold initiation. Still, as we move through this potent Mars-ruled season, the full moon in Libra serves as a reminder of the need for balance and harmony. For reference on how the upcoming lunation will affect you, be sure to check which astrological houses belong to Aries and Libra—this is where something significant is coming full circle for you.
As you may recall, the full moon phase marks a time of celebration, culmination and discovery. During the full moon, the lunar cycle reaches its peak, illuminating the areas of life where we need to cultivate a sense of equilibrium. Look at it this way: The sun symbolizes our ego and physical identity, while the moon represents our emotional landscape and inner world. When the moon is full, the sun sits directly across from the moon, which is a call for balance in our personal and/or professional lives.
Reaching its brightest phase via 23 degrees of Libra — on April 12 at exactly 8:22 p.m. EST — this lunation is an invitation to reflect on the shifts occurring in our lives, both emotionally and in terms of relationships. Libra is a cardinal air sign that calls us to engage in meaningful conversations with others, allowing reciprocity while encouraging an equal amount of give and take. Governed by harmony-seeking Venus, Libra highlights the beauty that comes with partaking in open and honest communication and stepping outside of our personal perspective.
Libra is known for being socially amicable, poised and ever-charming, but as an Air sign, it’s also known for its objective and diplomatic nature. Having said that, as the moon peaks in Libra, it will not only oppose the sun but also Chiron, as they will be conjunct in Aries. Also known as the wounded healer, Chiron can often highlight the areas of life where we’ve experienced feelings of rejection.
Take a piece of the night sky with you with our Midnight Star Earrings. These exquisite gold earrings feature a circular crescent moon and starburst design. Solitary silver rhinestones add a subtle sparkle. Stud back closure. With a size slightly smaller than a quarter, these earrings are ideal for daily wear.
Chiron has been in Aries since 2018, so think back to this time of your life, and reflect on what you’ve discovered about yourself. What wounds have surfaced, and how have they shaped your understanding of who you truly are? The area of life most affected by Chiron in Aries is the astrological house that Aries governs in your chart. This house represents where you are being called to heal, where your wounds may have been hidden, and where you've been challenged to reclaim your confidence.
The essence of Aries is autonomous, while Libra represents the way we connect with others. Still, the influence of Chiron offers us a chance to acknowledge the wounds we’ve been carrying and the healing process that is underway. This is a reminder to pause, release the “I’ve got it all together, I’m a warrior” energy, and embrace our vulnerability. Fortunately, with the sun in close proximity to Chrion, there is warmth and insight allowing us to deepen our self-awareness.
Its opposition to the moon, however, is a call for us to examine the parts of ourselves we’ve kept hidden. This could be unconsciously or regarding energies we’ve unintentionally projected onto others. In any event, this full moon is offering us the clarity we’ve been seeking, highlighting the areas where we’ve been too attached to a limited point of view, as opposed to seeing things from a diplomatic and objective perspective.
Moreover, Venus — Libra’s planetary ruler — will (finally) station direct on the same day of this full moon via 24 degrees of Pisces. In retrograde motion since March 1, Venus will still be making a conjunction with Saturn and the North Node, which continues to influence the theme of this full moon. For instance, despite being in its sign of exaltation — where she thrives and blooms — the love planet is sitting alongside serious Saturn, the taskmaster which continues to add a sense of pragmatism and maturity, specifically with Venusian themes such as relationships, finances, values and creativity.
The good news? Embracing uncertainty is easier said than done but Venus’ conjunction with the North Node is a strong indicator of what is fated — these adjustments we’re making are part of a greater, karmic plan. Still, the influence of Saturn reminds us that this is not a time for excess, but rather a time to assess what is flowing in and out of our lives, whether financially or in terms of relationship energy. Reflect on what Venus retrograde taught you — how have your values shifted and what are you ready to release?
While the Venus-Saturn alignment may stir feelings of insecurity, this lunation reminds us that we have everything we need to continue our journey. Even if challenges and fears arise, this moment of reflection will ultimately guide us to the growth we seek.
Lastly, and it’s important to keep in mind, Neptune, Chiron, and the sun in Aries are all influenced by Mars in Cancer, which has been at play for several months. (To say that Mars is exhausted would be an understatement—the red planet is nowhere near comfortable or empowered in this water sign.) Mars will conclude its journey through Cancer soon, but in the meantime, harmonize with the stellium of planets in Pisces (Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and the North Node) at the time of the full moon. This validates the power of our inner knowing and intuition at this time; trust it.
Mars' trine to Venus helps us understand the relational dynamics that are at play, encouraging us to honor the changes needed in our connections, finances and values. Overall, it’s important to note that the emotional currents are running deep, and we are processing them on a soul level. Think about it: Venus is not only in the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces — symbolic of transcendence, healing, karma, and dissolution — it’s stationing direct, after a long retrograde journey much like its cosmic counterpart, Mars.
On a brighter note, the moon will form a breezy trine to lucky Jupiter, bringing a sense of grounding, logic and support, as we move through this transformative moment. On another note, and hang in there — Mars will be at odds with the sun and Chiron, stirring emotional reactions and bringing unresolved feelings to the surface. It’s no secret that this is a time of deep, emotional release and healing, so be sure to harness the energy of the full moon to let go of what no longer serves us. Trust in the wisdom of this lunar phase, as it will guide you toward the emotional, spiritual and physical balance you seek.

Aries
This full moon is challenging you to show up for others without sacrificing your own identity, Aries. While the sun energizes you and opposes the moon in your relationship sector, you may find yourself at a crossroads where your desire for freedom clashes with the need for partnership and connection. This lunation encourages you to reflect on the balance between asserting your individuality and compromising to meet the needs of your significant others. Before your celestial ruler, Mars, concludes its journey through Cancer, it will harmonize with a stellium of planets in Pisces, bringing forth emotional clarity and insight. Still, Mars’ square to Chiron and the sun in your sign could trigger deep wounds related to vulnerability and self-expression, making it harder to open up fully. Reflect on where your relationships feel out of balance and what shifts are needed to allow for more understanding and support. Full moon reflection: What emotional walls are you ready to tear down to allow for greater intimacy, and how can you maintain your sense of self in the process?
Taurus
How can you simplify your day-to-day life to create space for self-care and inner peace, Taurus? April’s full moon in Libra shines a light on everything from your work environment and daily routines to your personal well-being. This is especially true with the sun in Aries opposing the moon, as this invites you to examine the balance (or lack thereof) between your personal ambitions and the energy you’re investing in your daily life. Mars’ trine to Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the North Node in Pisces encourages you to tap into your intuition, as it brings forth emotional clarity about how to balance your professional goals with your need for rest and solitude. However, Mars’ square to Chiron may stir insecurities related to your competence or sense of fulfillment. You could be questioning whether you’re truly satisfied with the work you’re doing or if it aligns with your values. Full moon reflection: How can you pursue your goals with passion while still honoring your physical and emotional needs?
Gemini
The full moon is asking you to reconsider how you give and receive in terms of love and creativity, Gemini. As the sun journeys through Aries, you may find yourself grappling with the balance between following your personal ambitions and nurturing your relationships. Whether in romance or creative pursuits, you are being called to evaluate where you have been giving too much or too little of yourself. For instance, with Mars harmonizing with a stellium of planets in Pisces in your career sector, you’re encouraged to tap into your emotional intelligence and reflect on your core values. The square to Chiron in Aries, however, could trigger insecurities about your ability to fully express your creativity or connect intimately with others. This can feel challenging, but it offers an opportunity to heal any wounds tied to self-worth and self-expression. Are you allowing yourself to be fully seen and heard in your relationships, or are you hiding parts of yourself out of fear? Full moon reflection: How can you create space for both self-expression and connection, while staying true to your authenticity?

Cancer
Reflect on what truly brings you a sense of emotional stability and security, Cancer. You’re ruled by the moon, making full moons especially significant—April’s full moon in Libra shines a spotlight on your home life, family dynamics, and emotional foundations. As the sun in Aries activates your 10th house of authority, it will oppose the moon, so you may find yourself torn between personal ambitions and the need to nurture and care for your loved ones. The tension between pursuing your goals and maintaining a harmonious home life can feel tricky at this time. Meanwhile, on top of having Mars in your sign, it will harmonize with Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the North Node in Pisces, which luckily provides emotional clarity and intuitive wisdom when it comes to personal matters. However, Mars’ square to Chiron could stir up insecurities around themes of leadership, parenting and career. Full moon reflection: What shifts can you make to create an environment that supports your growth without sacrificing your dreams?
Leo
Are you communicating from a place of truth, or are there parts of yourself that you feel too vulnerable to share, Leo? April’s full moon in Libra highlights everything from your communication, thought processes, and interactions to your immediate surroundings. While in opposition with the sun in Aries, the full moon brings attention to your levels of assertion in conversations, particularly when balancing your own opinions and the perspective of others. Meanwhile, with Mars harmonizing with Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the North Node in Pisces, there is greater emotional insight and intuition in your approach. Still, a square to Chiron and the sun could trigger misunderstandings or make you feel like you’re not being heard. Full moon reflection: What adjustments can you make to speak your truth more confidently and assertively, while also considering the needs and perspectives of others?
Virgo
Reflect on what financial adjustments need to be made when considering your emotional well-being and personal success, Virgo. April’s full moon in Libra highlights your investments, self-worth and personal values, but while in opposition with the sun in Aries in your eighth house of mergers and joint ventures, there could be tension around your desire for financial stability and your prior commitments. Luckily, Mars’ trine to a stellium of planets in Pisces and your relationship sector allows you to tune into your intuition when it comes to finances and contractual agreements. However, Mars’ square to the sun and Chiron could bring up old fears around your ability to be self-efficient and maintain the level of security you desire. All in all, Luna invites you to reflect on how your financial decisions align with your sense of self-worth. Full moon reflection: How can you own up to your sense of self-worth while also maintaining a sense of financial stability?

Libra
I hope you look up at the sky tonight — this one’s all for you, Libra. With the moon reaching its peak in your sign, there is greater emphasis on your personal identity, self-expression and how you show up in the world. Keep in mind, as the sun energizes your relationship sector and opposes the moon, you could feel like you’re grappling with balancing your own needs and desires with the needs of those around you. You are at a crossroads where your personal goals and desires are calling for more attention, but your relationships also require a sense of nurture. Mars will also harmonize with Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the North Node in Pisces, offering intuitive wisdom when it comes to your well-being and due diligence. Still, Mars’ square to Chiron triggers deep vulnerabilities regarding your self-image or fears about not being able to fully express yourself. Full moon reflection: How can you embrace your true self and assert your individuality while still nurturing the bonds that bring you emotional fulfillment?
Scorpio
If you’ve been unconsciously sabotaging your growth or hiding from your truth, this lunation will make it known, Scorpio. April’s full moon in Libra will ignite your 12th house of closure, dreams and unconscious patterns, shining a light on everything from your spiritual journey to your hidden emotions. It’s an invitation to reflect on where you may be holding onto hidden emotional baggage or unresolved issues from the past. In the meantime, Mars will harmonize with a stellium of planets in Pisces, helping you tap into intuitive wisdom. At the same time, Mars’ square to Chiron stirs up vulnerabilities around your fear of being seen or understood. In any event, it’s a time to do the inner work necessary to release old emotional patterns or subconscious beliefs that are no longer serving you. Full moon reflection: What emotional baggage are you ready to release, and how can you create more space for self-acceptance and spiritual growth in your life?
Sagittarius
Are your friendships and social connections nourishing your personal growth, or are they hindering your progress, Sagittarius? As the moon peaks in Libra, it brings focus to your 11th house of community, friendship, social circles, and long-term goals and dreams. You may find yourself evaluating where your personal goals and relationships align or create friction. Meanwhile, Mars will harmonize with Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the North Node in Pisces in your fourth house of home and family, providing insight and intuitive wisdom into how to navigate social dynamics with empathy and understanding. Still, Mars’ square to Chiron brings up insecurities around your sense of belonging or your ability to connect with individuals in your community. Luna invites you to reflect on how you contribute to your community and where you might need to recalibrate your priorities. Full moon reflection: What shifts can you make in your relationships to make greater progress with your goals and dreams?

Capricorn
The balance you seek in your professional life is a reflection of your personal stability, or lack thereof, Capricorn. April’s full moon in Libra illuminates your career, public life, and long-term ambitions—the opposition between the sun and moon calls attention to your personal goals and how you’re choosing to keep the peace and nurture your professional relationships. Meanwhile, while energizing your relationship sector, Mars will harmonize with Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the North Node in Pisces, helping you navigate professional decisions with emotional clarity and intuitive wisdom. Still, Mars’ square to Chiron could trigger insecurities related to your perception of success or your ability to meet others’ expectations. Full moon reflection: What shifts are required in your professional life and work environment to create a sense of harmony and satisfaction?
Aquarius
Balance your desire for personal expansion and freedom with your commitment to others, Aquarius. As the moon peaks in Libra, it shines a light on your ninth house of philosophy, belief systems and journey to self-discovery. While opposing the sun in Aries and your communication sector, Luna asks you to reflect on where your desire for adventure and wisdom meet your responsibilities and commitments. Mars will also harmonize with a stellium of planets in Pisces, offering a sense of emotional clarity that helps you connect with a deeper purpose. However, Mars’ square to Chiron could potentially stirrup insecurities around your ability to express your true beliefs and expand your horizons. Full moon reflection: How can you stay true to your personal journey while still maintaining a sense of harmony with those you care about, or choose to commit to?
Pisces
Do you feel comfortable emotionally engaging with others, or are you holding something back from a place of fear, Pisces? As the moon peaks in harmony-seeking Libra, it highlights your eighth house of mergers, shared resources and emotional transformation—you could feel pulled between nurturing your emotional independence and embracing the depth of connection (or financial commitment) the relationship you crave requires. Meanwhile, Mars will form a harmonious trine to Mercury, Venus, Saturn and the North Node in your sign, heightening your intuition and clarifying your emotional needs. However, Mars’ square to Chiron could stir up fears or repressed wounds around rejection or vulnerability. Reflect on how you’re navigating themes of trust and intimacy in your personal and professional connections. Full moon reflection: What shifts do you need to make to cultivate more honesty and emotional vulnerability in your relationships?
