LIBRA FULL MOON - 2 April 2026
This Full Moon could certainly bring some big emotions to the surface, as anything that might have been bubbling beneath the surface could come rising up to be fully illuminated by the light of the Moon. This Moon very much brings our relationships into the spotlight, as Aries and Libra are the relationship axis. We are now in Aries season, when the sap rises and things come to life in the Northern Hemisphere. Aries is an active, energetic, enthusiastic, impulsive, independent, brave, pioneering sign that can help bring the courage, energy and motivation to get things started. And now we have a Libra Full Moon, calling for us to find some balance between bold, assertive Aries and peaceful, diplomatic Libra. Do we choose conflict or do we prefer to find a more peaceful solution?
Aries is the sign of “I am”, helping us to prioritise ourselves and our own needs, while Libra is a sign that prefers teamwork and may tend to think of others before self. Libra also helps us to be aware of the impact we have on others. Aries is the part of us that likes to get things out into the open, even if it means having an argument about it, while Libra might turn the other cheek and put up with things for the sake of peace and harmony. In an ideal world we would have the courage to bring things out into the open and talk it through in a loving, considerate, kind and reasonable way, rather than letting our egos get in the way, or picking fights, or becoming defensive, or attacking one another. This would be a nice blend of Libra and Aries!
Libra can help us to find happy compromises and peaceful, diplomatic solutions, which would be a very lovely thing indeed, given all that is happening in the collective right now! However, it is also a sign of extremes, given that its symbol is the scales. Ultimately it seeks balance, but can quite easily teeter too far in one direction or another. In an ideal world this Moon can help us to find the middle ground.
As I mentioned, things can come to a head during a Full Moon, and this one is no exception. Aries may act impulsively, and can be assertive, hot-headed, self-interested and, in the extreme, aggressive. Aries tends to act first and think later, and can be impatient and rash. Libra, on the other hand, is open to reason, negotiation and discussion, and seeks to find a peaceful solution. Libra also wants everything to be fair, equal and just. Full Moons can bring turning points and can intensify and escalate situations that have been building in the week or two beforehand. Whatever we may have been holding back, swallowing or putting up with may feel more pressing and urgent, so that we have no choice but to bring it out into the open.
Jupiter in Cancer is forming a dynamic square aspect to the Sun and Moon, which could certainly amplify our emotions even more! Jupiter is the largest planet, and tends to expand and magnify the energy of the planet it is forming an aspect with. Jupiter is in emotional, sensitive Cancer, and is challenging Cancer’s ruler, the Moon, which represents our moods and emotions. When Jupiter is involved things can easily go too far and be taken out of all proportion. Our emotions could easily run away with us! Luckily, Jupiter is very at home in Cancer, which brings generosity of spirit, the urge to protect others, emotional intelligence and the capacity to be vulnerable, which could be helpful. Jupiter can bring emotional insight, higher perspective and wisdom that can help to navigate whatever comes up during this time, both personally and collectively.
With Jupiter involved we could feel more emotionally reactive than usual, and may feel the urge to defend some strong beliefs and could feel torn between the Aries urge to stand our ground and the Libran urge to keep the peace. There is the potential for saying things we can’t take back, as our emotions could get the better of us. However, it certainly is better to get things out into the open rather than allowing them to fester, and it is also good to show how we really feel, so everyone knows where they stand. It is important to feel all the feelings, and they could be hard to ignore, but also to be open to listening to others so that we can understand how they are feeling too. This certainly could help us to be emotionally honest with one another.
Luckily Jupiter in Cancer and Mercury in Pisces are forming a harmonious trine aspect to one another, which can help us to see the bigger picture and could also bring insightful, emotionally honest, compassionate, connected conversations. This is a very helpful addition to this Moon! It can help us to be caring, sensitive, nurturing and empathetic towards one another and to be willing to understand the other person’s perspective. It can also bring intuitive insight and calls for us to drop into our heart instead of getting too caught up in the head. The trine between Mercury and Jupiter is exact on t3 April, the day after the Full Moon.
Saturn in Aries is forming a supportive sextile to Pluto in Aquarius, which is exact on 28 March, but will still be very strong during this Moon. This is the first time Saturn and Pluto are forming a strong aspect to each other since the Saturn Pluto conjunction of January 2020, which seeded a new cycle. This is the next phase of what started then. It is important to be aware that the conjunction of 2020 was in Capricorn, the sign of control, societal systems, authority and also personal responsibility. It was a time when a rather extreme amount of societal control was enforced. Now, in the next phase of what was seeded then, the planets are in very different signs.
Pluto is in Aquarius, the sign of community, brotherhood/sisterhood, freedom, equality, technology and revolution. Aquarius questions the rules and challenges the “system”, and has a vision of how things could be different. Saturn is in Aries, which calls for us to have personal responsibility and the courage to build something new, unlike anything we have seen before. Aries bring that sense that we are essentially responsible for ourselves – how we act, react and conduct ourselves is the most important thing to concentrate on right now. We don’t have control of what is going on in the world at large, but we do have control over ourselves.
If we were all to focus on ourselves and doing all that we can to be the best human being that we can be, then it ripples out into our community and world at large. This sextile brings a sense that we must “be the change that we want to see”. We are encouraged to come together with like-minded souls and build community, collaborating and laying the foundation for the world that we want to live in. How can we make a difference, day to day? How can we contribute to the community that we already live in? The rigid structures of the outdated system are crumbling and it is not pretty right now, but Saturn and Pluto remind us that we can make a difference. What we do and how we act then ripples out into the world, and if we all act with integrity and contribute in a positive way then big change is possible.
Basically, Saturn, the planet of control and responsibility and Pluto, the planet of power and transformation, are playing nicely with each other right now, and so the choices we make and the actions we take, on a small scale, can make a difference. Instead of falling into fear, we are called to make ourselves strong, as individuals, and take responsibility for our life. This is a time of soul growth and evolution, and so we are called to be flexible and ride the waves of change rather than resisting them. We have a chance, here, to contemplate what we want to build, in the long-term, and to have the courage to act on it. Our small ripple connects to all of the other small ripples and creates a big wave. Those of us with personal planets or angles around 4° of a sign will feel the energy of Saturn and Pluto most acutely.
The Sabian symbol for this Moon, at 13° Libra, is an intriguing and appropriate one: ” Children blowing soap bubbles”, which Dane Rudyar describes as: “The cultural fantasies through which young minds dream of perfect fulfilment. This seems to refer to the use of the imagination and the value of fantasy in a collective set-up. Men dream together as a preparation for acting together. Rituals related to the great aspirations of mankind are both secret ceremonies and play things for young minds; so also are court ceremonies and operas for the social elite or baseball games for the crowds. Some men work hard at acquiring knowledge and providing society with what it needs to enjoy warmth and lighted places; others play at imagining themselves perfect spheres of multicoloured radiance – soap bubbles so soon proven evanescent! This is a symbol of IMAGINATIVE PLAY, which foreshadows the idea of “global man,” the man of plenitude.”
Well, this Symbol seems to be giving a little nod to Neptune, calling for us to use our imaginations to dream up the world we want to see. It is important to keep our sights on this new world that is forming, and to blow all our hopes and dreams into the bubbles! The power of the collective is immense, and we all have a part to play in it, with our intentions, ceremonies, rituals, prayers and actions. This Full Moon involves Aries, the God of war and Libra, the sign of peace. We may not have control over what is playing out on the world stage, but we do have a choice over how we conduct ourselves in our personal relationships, how we think, communicate and respond to one another. We do have control over ourselves and how we turn up in the world. As the symbol says, if we all play at imagining ourselves perfect spheres of multicoloured radiance, what a beautiful world this could be!
Much Love
