The Moon is bright and full in Libra, the air sign of balance, harmony, and justice. Because Libra is ruled by Venus, the Moon is shining a bright light on all Venusian things – love, relationships, money, and beauty – and they all play an important part in what's coming up to be seen and healed now.

 

The Moon in Libra is opposing the Sun in Aries, and also Jupiter, Chiron, Eris, and Vesta in Aries. It's an Aries party…or is it a confusing cry fest? Let’s get into the details and how we can best navigate all of this cosmic energy for healing, mind, body, soul self-care, and divine alignment. 

 

 

This Full Moon in rebalancing Libra marks the midway point of the lunar cycle that started with the New Moon in Aries two weeks ago, and shines between TWO Aries New Moons, the next one being a total Solar Eclipse on April 19/20.

 

The Moon being at its fullest in Venus-ruled Libra means that our partnerships are under the spotlight for release and rebalancing; familial, platonic, romantic, financial, business, political, and especially, our relationship to ourselves. As it opposes the Sun in Aries, a warrior energy that's all about initiation of the self, this moment represents me versus we, and self versus other. It's active and headstrong Aries Sun energy opposing Libra Moon energy that loves balance, harmony, and peace.

 

Could we be feeling this mentally, physically, and spiritually? Absolutely, but if we take the time to tap into our subtle energy, we can tap into the fuel and opportunities the cosmos are offering us to shift, as well as the insight and clarity that's available to us. Especially if we do it in an informed way. Look at what astrological houses Aries and Libra land on in your birth chart. Ask yourself:

This current cycle of change is intensified by the Aries Sun, adding a fiery pressure to the mix. If something is out of balance and you're looking for ways to shift it, remember wtf you are®️, tap into your inner alchemist, and initiate transformation. Is this easier said than done? In many cases, yes. While Libra energy wants balance, Aries wants us to zero in on the truth, and the process to both can be extremely uncomfortable. 

 

Wherever you are on your journey of harmony, authenticity, and growth, remember how much you are worthy of what you want for yourself. Remember how much the world is worthy of a vibrant and authentic version of you, and how much those in your life are better when you stand in your power. Remember that when you exist in your Divine truth, you make space for others to do the same. Remember that conflict in any relationship is an opportunity to shed light on that connection, but that there is light that draws in, and there is light that draws out. Above all else, remember to live and approach anything and everything with love.

 

 

I touched on all of these cosmic bodies being in Aries and what they meant in our last Cosmic Insights, but as they are opposed by the Full Moon in Libra, they have a slightly different connotation.

 

The most important of these is the Moon opposing the Sun-Chiron conjunction. The Sun represents aspects of the self, our way of being in the world, and it's come into this energetic dance with Chiron, the comet named the "Wounded Healer.” Chiron demands to be seen wherever it shows up in our natal charts, it's purpose being to highlight the core of our pain and how we're meant to work with it and grow from it. If the cosmic bodies were people, this is your old friend who's literally been through everything and comes into your life to tell you the truth but also guide you towards better. 

 

This Sun-Chiron conjunction is inevitably bringing up our deepest wounds, the work that we've been doing on ourselves, but especially, the work that we're avoiding. As it opposes the Full Moon in harmonizing Libra, its a reminder that the peace and balance you crave is always in the work that you're avoiding.

 

Listening to astrologer Chani Nicholas speak about the conjunction this week stayed with me. She talked about the Sun being the illuminator of the conscious, waking world, and the Moon being the illuminator of the unconscious world. So with the Moon opposing the Sun-Chiron conjunction, we are, in a sense, being revitalized by the energy of the Sun so that we can mend and release the connections through which our trauma multiplies in our lives. Think about in terms of your personal wounds, and also think about this as it relates to the world at large. Stay open so for reminders, rebalancing, and revitalization. I'll touch on ways you can support the process of mental rewiring when we get to self-care.

 

Eris is a dwarf planet that represents chaos, strife, and discord, and while this sounds horrifying, it's giving us the fortitude (and quite frankly, the balls) we need to move. It's adding oomph to the energy of revitalization, getting us to get up and make the decisions that we need to make for our healing and evolution.

 

Vesta, the asteroid who represents harvest and abundance, is giving us light at the end of the tunnel energy. It's reminding us that every decision that we make right now, especially the difficult ones, are leading closer to our most abundant existence. This energy also reminds us that caring for our health and wellness is vital to all abundance.

 

Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is just here to magnify it all. The good the, bad, and the ugly, so let's get into how we can support our rewiring and our nervous systems in the process.

 

All of this rebalancing points towards rewiring our subconscious beliefs so that we can approach life in a different way. And dealing with the emotions that come with this process can be overstimulating for our nervous system. Here are some tips and reminders to help us support our nervous systems and strengthen our electromagnetic fields along the journey of rewiring and realignment.

All zodiac signs rule parts of the body. Aries rules the head and Libra rules the kidneys and bladder. Support your energetic flush with more water, more time to rest and breathe deeply and intentionally, and more time just be without doing. Remember that our ego demands harmony because it says that we're deserving of it, but our soul works it way towards it because it knows that we were born worthy. Lean into the truth of your soul with love.

If you're a premium member, you've probably had the pleasure of indulging in our first wellness event of the year, Birth Charting 101 led by Nadia of @selfloveastro. If you need a refresher or haven't watched the workshop yet, navigate to the Member Portal. It's the perfect workshop for beginners.

 

You can find your birth or natal chart for free online – I like using Chani Nicholas' chart generator on her website. Once you have your chart in front of you, locate the zodiac signs that pertain to this moment's astrology (the sign the Sun and Moon are in) and look at the number of the section they're in. That would be the astrological house you're looking for. You can Google “astrological houses" to get an accurate breakdown of what each means, but here is a breakdown you can use now via AstroStyle. 

 

Above is an example of Virgo being in the 9th House of travel, wisdom, philosophy, learning, and ethics, and Pisces being in the 3rd House of thinking, communication, early education, interests, neighbors, and siblings.

 

Knowing the houses makes all the difference in the energy and focus you can bring your intentions.
