Libra Full Moon: Crisis in Relationship
One of the most helpful ways I use astrology is as a journal prompt to process my experiences over time. I keep track of important life events vs. aspect patterns to better understand the themes and patterns that show up in my life.
This full moon is about the maturation of a cycle. It’s about acknowledging and attempting to adapt to the instability of change. It’s about learning that we can only avoid failing as a species if we all progress together, the more we are all involved, the healthier it’s going to be for all of us. We are interdependent and while some of us recognize this, there are some who have to learn this lesson the hard way.
One of the most helpful ways I use astrology is as a journal prompt to process my experiences over time. I keep track of important life events vs. aspect patterns to better understand the themes and patterns that show up in my life. As I’ve gained more expertise in astrology, I have naturally started to zoom out to better understand the world around me. This practice helps center me during this time of unprecedented change and upheaval. Understanding the larger cycles at play helps me take things less personally so I can focus my energy more productively.
For example, the upcoming Libra full moon on April 12, 2025 is related to the new moon eclipse that happened on October 14, 2023. The opening square to this new moon eclipse happened on July 13, 2024. Opening squares are often referred to as “crisis in action”, they are moments of stress where we are challenged to materialize something we seeded during the new moon. This full moon is the culmination point where we are challenged to give what was seeded during the new moon a socialized context to operate through. We are projecting it out into the world for feedback.
But If we think about cycles as 7 year time increments, this cycle began in 2018. Do you remember life during this time? Life has clearly changed and yet as you can see from these photos, the themes are still present. It seems that everything has changed and yet nothing has. It’s surreal, right?
Of course, everything shifted a magnificent degree after Covid. I got a jump start to this transition because of my planetary timing. Thankfully, because I have a very slow Pisces Moon square the Nodes so it takes me much longer to transition than most. I started my Uranus Opposition in 2018, moving across the country, attempting to transition to a more relaxed way of life after seriously burning out in NYC. My life felt like it was in shambles. I was especially disillusioned with work. I needed something higher to devote my time to. Now just after my Chiron return, I’m experiencing a full moon illumination across my Ascendent/Descendent axis with Mars in my 10th house.
In October 2023, I finally had enough with my marketing consultant gig and decided to exit. After 4 years of devoting most of my free time to studying astrology, I decided it was time to spread my wings and attempt to turn it into something I could devote my full time to. In July 2024, I passed my certification exam which was exceedingly difficult for me because of the technical requirements. I had to learn how to draw up a chart by hand with no computer to aid the calculations. I’ve always been horrible at math and organizing information spatially. I have a form of dyslexia which makes my mind scramble information easily, especially under pressure. As far as tests go, it was one of the hardest I’ve had to take. It was an important milestone for me as I had struggled with my teacher during my two year intensive in Evolutionary Astrology. I had decided to exit that program at the very last moment without any help from my teacher to get certified, so I was completely on my own.
Now here I am, embracing the fact that my purpose is to share my creative energy with you. What tomorrow holds, I can not know, but this is where I’m meant to be right now at this moment. My life has completely transformed since that initial jump into the unknown. It was sort of like the Aries eclipse we just had. It was time. I jumped. I had no idea what would unfold in front of me. Now I see the world with new eyes. I could not go back even if I wanted to so in that way letting go is much easier for me. How about you? I’d love to hear your stories.
