Full Moon in Libra, April 17, 2011
This post is for Felicity, who kindly reminded me that I’ve been a bit remiss in my blogging 🙂
This Full Moon in Libra occurred on Sunday, April 17 at 10:44 pm Eastern (2:44 am Monday, April 18 GMT) at 27 degrees. Full Moons represent the culmination of those things that were begun with the New Moon (in this case the New Moon in Aries of April 3). The Libran scales add a sense of balance to this Full Moon, perhaps balancing out all the intense Aries energy that pushed us outside of our comfort zone at the beginning of the month. Now is the time to reconcile the changes that we’ve begun and integrate them into our daily lives.
This is a cardinal Full Moon, with Saturn joining the Moon in Libra (and opposite Mars and Mercury—still retrograde until this weekend—in Aries). There will be a push and pull between the lingering Aries energy, which calls us to push forward with our new changes, and the harmony and balance that Libra asks of us.
Thanks – it was my birthday and I couldn’t believe that it was also a full moon. Thanks from Edinburgh 😉
