April 19th Full Moon in Libra: The Other Tipping Point

Remember March 20th? The Spring Equinox was marked by a Libra Full Moon (ay 0 deg). . Well, there’s another Libra Full Moon coming up on April 19th and this one is at 29 deg.

It’s rare to have a two Full Moons in the same sign, so when it happens you pay attention. These Full Moons (and the events on these two dates) will act as bookends- the first and last degree of the sign indicating a beginning and ending. It’s happening in the sign of the balance, so we can surmise that events will swing from one extreme to the other.

The Full Moon on April 19th will make a wide square to the South Node in Capricorn/North Node in Cancer (as well as Saturn/Pluto in Capricorn) so this ending will present you with a choice- stick with old rules/fears/tradition (South Node) or move forward to something that’s more in line with what you need and feel (North Node). Saturn and Pluto suggest there’s a final responsibility to take care of – some pressure to deal with and perhaps some unbalanced power issues. Note that the North Node (path forward) is ruled by the Moon, so you’re moving towards balanced relationships (Libra) that feel (Cancer) safe. You’re looking at how your needs/emotions connect to others.

Note that on March 20th the Sun (newly into Aries) was applying to a conjunction with Chiron in Aries, so Chiron was very much part of that Full Moon. On April 19th, Mercury will conjoin Chiron in Aries, so the theme of the fresh, raw wound (and associated courage) will continue. The hurt and battle that was introduced on March 20th will be put into words during this Full Moon – you may be speaking out and taking flak for it, or finally having that painful but essential conversation. Aries is the first sign, so this is brand new territory. But the lunation is in Libra, so it’s not all about you or them, it’s you and them. Balance is essential. Projection may have to be addressed.

March 20th brought you to a tipping point, and you’ll be at another one on April 19th. How have things changed since March? Are you ready to put the wound into words? What extremes are you experiencing?

Libra Full Moon: You Are Not Alone

Last week, following a routine visit to the vet, my terrier Magnus became suddenly paralyzed from the mid-section down. Not knowing whether my dog would walk again, or what had happened, was confusing and terrifying. After discovering he had a deteriorating spine and 2 herniated discs, he had emergency surgery and spent the next 4 […]
