Pink Full Moon in Libra
Saturday, April 12th @ 18:21 (mtn)
Happy Full Moon in Libra,
Full Moons are a period of transformation, a time of saying good bye to what no longer serves us in order to make space for what does. It is a time of beautiful death in our life in order to make space for beautiful rebirth that is constantly happening all around us.
This Full Moon in Libra happens at the same time that Venus, Libra’s ruling planet, is stationing direct. This is important because Venus has been in retrograde for the past six weeks - when planets are in retrograde this means that they appear to be moving backwards. Times of retrograde encourage us to look inwards and to reflect on the past (even when we feel like they bring up the past in ways that are not productive). Retrogrades may be periods where emotions feel stuck, or too much - but always feel grateful for the opportunity to reflect with yourself.
Venus, the planet of love, romance, money, and beauty, is stationing direct. This pairs perfectly with the Full Moon in Libra on the exact same day. Venus offers clarity in love and romance - what are you ready to let go of, in order to make space for what is coming? It’s a potent time to evaluate and make sure you are living a life that is in alignment with your magic.
Consider your relationships in your life. This includes your friendships, your romantic relationships, your work relationships, and the most important one - the relationship with yourself. How do you feel in these relationships? Do you feel lifted up, inspired, like your best self? Do you feel energized from these relationships, or do you feel drained?
This pink full moon is encouraging us to consider if the love in our life is in alignment with who we are right now. Relationships can be hard - for example, we walk through many seasons of life with friendships, but there are times where the friendship may feel stagnant. There might be days where you look in the mirror and feel most like yourself - and times when you look in the mirror and don’t.
Libra, a sign all about love, balance, art, and beauty, reminds us to embrace our inner beauty. To look in the mirror and tell yourself that you love yourself - every single day. Libra encourages us to romanticize our life - to look around and see the beauty that surrounds you in your life - to slow down on your walks and see the growth of spring happening all around you, to see the smiles on strangers’ faces, to see the new paint job on that house. Libra is all about making sure your life is in harmony, so use this time of release to let go of what is no longer in alignment.
Libra’s sister sign, Aries, is a fire sign all about beginnings, impulse, and adventure. Use these two energies together to continue leaning into the freshness that comes with spring. To feel the love that surrounds you. To feel what is in alignment and what is not. While Libra’s shadow can be indecisiveness, utilize Aries impulsive nature to let go of what no longer serves.
This full moon, gift yourself the time to reflect on how your life is feeling. To see how you can show up better for yourself, which in turn will help you show up for others. Our love can only get better - what a beautiful thought.
ALIGNED ACTION
If it’s nice outside, take yourself outside. Grab a blanket, a picnic, a pillow, anything to help you make a cozy spot for yourself. If the outside isn’t calling, sit by the window. Create a cozy spot for yourself in the house. Make some tea, or perhaps another fun drink you have been wanting to try. Light a candle, turn on some mood music. Make sure you are wearing clothes that help you feel like you. These can be cozy comfy clothes, or a power outfit. Whatever it is, set the stage for yourself - and then write yourself a love letter. Tell yourself how much you love yourself - and give yourself any grace that you need. Understand where you have been coming from lately. Paint a picture on how you show yourself love. And promise to keep doing that.
