This full moon in Libra is a culmination of the Aries new moon intentions set two weeks ago on April 1st. The themes of peace, harmony, and relationships with others are highlighted at this full moon. The oppositional energy of the full moon will bring out the balance of the self via the sun sign of Aries with others through partnership via the moon in Libra. This full moon in Libra offers us the opportunity to understand the importance of internal and external balance. Read on to learn more about the energy of this full moon in Libra this Easter weekend.
The Opposition of Self Vs. Others
All full moons hold the energy of the opposition of solar and lunar energy. In the case of this particular full moon, the sun in Aries highlights a focus on the relationship with the self in opposition to the moon in Libra which focuses on relationships with others. At this time, there’s an element of balancing the self in relation to others. Although the main ego or solar energy in Aries focuses on the affirmation of the self, this full moon in Libra reminds us that compromises are necessary to experience the culmination of the intentions set at the Aries new moon two weeks earlier on April 1st.

Given that both Aries and Libra are cardinal signs of change, Aries moves on its own to initiate changes whereas Libra initiates change due to the influence of others. This full moon will highlight the pull between self-actualization and authenticity as represented by the sun in Aries while being prompted to compromise with others due to the moon in Libra influence.
At its best, the full moon in Libra reveals to us that it is possible to be in union with others while also remaining authentic to ourselves.
Libra Moon: In Relationship
Given the relationship-oriented stance of Libra, this full moon has the potential to bring understanding and culmination regarding our relationships. This includes the most important relationship of all…the one that we have with ourselves as represented by the sun in Aries.
While Libra energy is known to seek relationships with others as it balances itself in relation to other people, this full moon will highlight the importance of being in a relationship with the self (Aries) in order to be in a successful relationship with others (Libra).
This full moon in Libra will make us aware of how we seek and maintain relationships due to harmonious, positive trine energy with Saturn in Aquarius. This reveals emotional (moon) maturity (Saturn) when dealing with relationships at this time. Saturn connected to this full moon in Libra advises that we can learn lessons about relationships if we are willing to take accountability and responsibility for our own relational patterns and behaviors.
Here are some considerations at this full moon in Libra:
-Are we authentic when in a relationship with others?
-Do we compromise our wants and desires for others?
-Do we feel (moon energy) that our relationships bring balance and fairness into our lives?
-Do we take personal responsibility and accountability (Saturn in Aquarius) for the roles that we play in our relationships?
-Are we willing to work with others to cultivate solid, functional, mature relationships?
Transformative Revelations About Relationships
This full moon in Libra will square Pluto in Capricorn, presenting emotional challenges that have the potential to transform into a practical, concrete manner due to the earth influence of Capricorn. Again, due to the Saturn influence here there is a potential for transformation and healing…if we are willing to be accountable and responsible for the relationship that we have with ourselves(Aries sun) as well as the relationships that we have with others (Libra moon).
The sun and moon are luminaries bringing light into our consciousness (sun) and subconsciousness (moon). With Pluto in Capricorn squaring the Aries sun and Libra moon axis, this full moon energy reveals that the path to relationship reconciliation is one that requires change via deep analysis of the self in relation to others.
The revelations that come from this full moon have the potential to highlight how the relationship we have with ourselves impacts the relationships that we have with others. Due to the square energy, these revelations to the luminaries (sun and moon) won’t necessarily “feel good.” In fact, it may be kind of harsh courtesy of Pluto in Capricorn’s “reality check.” Pluto will require a change and leaving behind behaviors that are no longer conducive to creating healthy relationships with ourselves so that we can ultimately create and have better relationships with others.
The energy associated with the sun (Aries), moon (Libra), and Pluto (Capricorn) encourage change. Let us embrace change at this full moon in Libra which will allow us to transform our relationship with others by being honest about our relationship with ourselves. Remember, the external experience of the “other” is a mirror of the internal energy of the self.
Seek Balance
Ultimately, this full moon in Libra offers us the opportunity to balance the internal with the external. Libra seeks relationships with others, but the opposition to the Aries sun, it is important to understand that our relationships with others are a reflection of the relationship that we have with ourselves. Finding a balance between the self and the other is important. Under the energy of the full moon in Libra, we come to the conclusion that it is more than possible to be in a relationship with others (Libra) and still remain authentic to the self (Aries).
