Full Moon in Libra April 2012

The Full Moon has come around again. This month the full Moon is on the 7th of April in the sign of Libra at 18 (Check out Moon times at the bottom of this page). 

Let's first talk a little bit about what a Full Moon is, and how you can best use it to your advantage. In my experience the more we work with the rhythm of the universe, the easier and more productive our lives become.
 
At a Full Moon we find ourselves roughly 2 weeks after the New Moon, this marks the half way mark of the Moon's phases. I wont go into what all the Moon phases mean right now, as that's a whole-other post! Here are the Moon's phases to give you an overall picture of where we are at.
 
New Moon 
Crescent Moon 
First Quarter Moon 
Gibbous Moon 
Full Moon
Disseminating Moon
Last Quarter Moon 
Balsamic Moon
 
So now that you know what stage we are at here's how you can use the Full Moon to your advantage. The energy of the Full Moon lasts for 4 days and brings with it, culmination, climaxes, resolutions, emotions, fullness, and completion.
 
Use this Libra Full Moon to:

  • Profit from earlier actions and /or
  • Deal with the consequences of earlier actions
  • To let go of things that aren't working before the next New Moon 
  • To let go of any past relationship difficulties or hurts
  • See where you are at re your New Moon wishes 
  • Find some balance between your needs and others needs or one area of your life with another area
  • 'Bring to light ' something about a situation you may not of been aware of earlier 
  • Bring about insights and new ideas
  • Reflect on your life
  • Cleanse your crystals by the light of the Full Moon
  • Do a Full Moon meditation

The Moon takes approximately 28 days to orbit the Earth and the sign that the Full Moon is in each month will colour how that Full Moon affects us all in subtle but important ways. The Full Moon is in Libra this month and Libra is all about relationships and balance. Libra represents compromise, fairness and is a relationship focused sign.


With the Sun being in Aries there could be an element of trying to find the balance between your own personal needs (Aries) and the partnership or others needs (Libra). Only you will know which way this needs to swing. Are you letting others take advantage of you? Or is it you that needs to give a little? Is one area of your life competing too much with another?
 
Here are the houses the Libra Full Moon is illuminating for each sign. Use this to see what area of your life the Full Moon is affecting directly:
  
Aries 
7th House: Love and partnerships. Keywords: Partnerships (one on one business or personal), marriages or divorces, long-term associations, agreements/legal contracts, open enemies.  

With the Sun in your sign Aries (1st house) your focus could be about balancing your own needs and your partnership needs (Full Moon in 7th house). Could it be time for a review? 

Taurus
6th House: Work and Daily Routines. Keywords: Every day life, daily health, your working environment (day job, which may not be your career), your habits, skills, pets, hygiene and sanitation. 

Taurus with the Sun in your 12th house (Endings, Soul Growth & Private time) and the Full Moon in your 6th house you could be competing with your work, health or daily routine obligations and your need for some time for yourself. Libra is about finding balance. How could you balance these two areas of your life better? You might find some insight into this at the Full Moon. 

Gemini 
5th House: Creativity, Self Expression and Children. Keywords: Creativity, love affairs, romance, artistic projects/pursuits, creative self expression, hobbies, self fulfillment, pleasures. 

Gemini, the Sun is in your 11th House of Relationships with Friends or Groups. How can you find more balance between your 5th house needs and your social self? Maybe it's a question of how could you find your need to do things by yourself and balance that with a need to collaborate? Especially when it comes to your creativity, children or romantic life. 

Cancer 
4th House: Home and Family. Keywords: Property, residence, your private life, sense of security, domestic life, roots/family origin, psychological foundations, Mother or more maternal parent 

At this Full Moon Cancer, your Home and Family needs (4th house) could compete with you Career needs (10th house). Is there a happy compromise you can find between the two? The focus of this balance could be between where you live and your career or your sense of security and your career.  

Leo 
3rd House: Communication. Keywords: The lower mind, communication,thoughts, how you think and communicate,speaking, language skills, how you interact in your immediate environment; with your siblings and your neighbours, short journeys, writing, media and communications.

Leo with the Sun in your 9th House of Travel, Learning and Adventure and the Full Moon in the 3rd House there could be a lot of conversations going on (in your mind or with others) and maybe that has something to do with you going on a trip somewhere.

Virgo
2nd House: Money and Self Worth. Keywords: Your own resources, money that you earn, what you value and desire (be it money or personal self esteem), your priorities. 

Virgo, with the Sun being in your 8th House of Shared Money and Support and the Full Moon in your 2nd House of Money and Self Worth I can pretty much guarantee this Full Moon will have something to do with Money. Where can you find a happy medium between shared resources and your own money? Or maybe this has to do with your personal self esteem around money and the support you do or don't receive.

Libra
1st House - It's in your sign so for you it's about how you use your energy, looking at your personal goals, exploring your true motivations, your interactions, what do your really want?, what are your authentic desires? Keywords: The image you project to others, manner of expression, first impressions, your physical appearance, how you initiate things, defense mechanisms, the 'mask' you wear, relationship with existing environment, over all outlook on life. 

Libra, this is your Full Moon so it's in your First House of Self and with the Sun being in your 7th House of Love and Partnerships this definitely points to the question of your needs verses your partnership (love or business) needs. Where can you bring these two back into balance? 

Scorpio 
12th House: Endings and Soul Growth. Keywords: hidden enemies, fears, self-undoing, the collective unconscious, spirituality, unredeemed karma, selfless service to humanity, hidden strengths and weaknesses.

Scorpio with the Sun in your 12th house (Endings, Soul Growth & Private time) and the Full Moon in your 6th House you could be competing with your work, health or daily routine obligations and your need for some time for yourself. Libra is about finding balance. How could you balance these two areas of your life better? Could it be that at this time you need to make space for both? 

Sagittarius 
11th House: Relationships with friends and Groups. Keywords: Alliances, hopes, dreams and wishes, employer's money, employer's finances, spheres of influence, memberships, social acquaintances, collaborations.

Sagittarius, the Full Moon is taking place in your 11th House of Relationships with Friends and Groups and the Sun is currently in your 5th House of Creativity, Romance and Children. Is there a compromise you could find between the needs of the groups you belong to and your creativity, romantic or children's needs? Maybe you'll also make a new friend at this time or form an alliance. 

Capricorn 
10th House: Career. Keywords: Long range goals and life direction, ambition, material success, business life, career, occupation, status, public life and your standing in it, fame, contribution. 

At this Full Moon Capricorn, your Career needs (10th house) could compete with your home and family needs (4th house). Is there a happy compromise you can find between the two? The focus of this balance could be between where you live and your career or your sense of security and your career. This could be a great time to review how you are doing in these areas. 

Aquarius 
9th House: Travel, Learning and Adventure. Keywords: Beliefs, morals, personal truths, adventure, journeys (literal and of the mind), exploration, religion, personal philosophy, higher education, long-distance travel, foreign countries,cultures and languages, publishing, commerce. 

Aquarius, with the Sun in your 3rd House of Communication and the Full Moon in your 9th House of Travel, Learning and Adventure there could be a lot of conversations going on (in your own mind or with others) and maybe some of them have something to do with you going on a trip somewhere. Or it could be that you are trying to find a balance between the way you communicate and your beliefs and personal truths. 

Pisces
8th House: Shared Money Sector. Keywords: Support you receive from other people, wealth of partner or spouse, other people's money, spirituality, sex, transformation, Inheritance, taxes.

Pisces, with the Sun being in your 2nd House of Money and Self Worth and the Full Moon in your 8th House of Shared Money and Support  I can pretty much guarantee this Full Moon will have something to do with Money. Where can you find a happy medium between shared resources and your own money? Or maybe this has to do with your personal self esteem around money and the support you do or don't receive.It might be time to sit down and do a good review of where you are at in these areas.



Happy Full Moon! x
