Lovely Libra Lunation
With a touch of stir-crazy…
Tuesday, April 7th at 10:35 PM EDT we have a Full Moon in Libra. This Full Moon is also a Super Moon, the second one of the year, meaning the moon is at the closest possible proximity to Earth. It might not look much larger than usual, but this can heighten things astrologically. While the feeling, emotional Moon is in harmonious Libra, it is exactly opposite the Sun in impulsive Aries. There might be some tension between “me” vs “we” with this placement, and being stuck in the house might not make this easier. While the square between Mars and Uranus might add some fuel to this fire, other placements indicate we can use this time to make stronger bonds through good communication.
Grand Trine
To fully understand this moon, we have to look at the influence of the Grand Trine between Venus in Gemini, Mars and Saturn in Aquarius, and the Moon in Libra that occurs about 12 hours before the Full Moon. This is a very harmonious aspect that bolsters relationships and the communication within them. Venus makes April 7th a great day for romance, whether its a long snuggly chat with your quarantine buddy or a budding relationship forming over the phone. We might develop new ways of interacting and connecting while maintaining social distance. Enjoy good conversation and learning new things – Air signs two favorite things!
Mars Square Uranus
The challenge for the day comes from the square between Mars in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus. This position brings tension between these planets, causing Mars's aggression to feed into Uranus's reckless rebellious side. In short, people might be getting cabin fever and have the urge to break free of these restrictions. Hopefully the joyful intellectual stimulation from the Grand Trine earlier in the day will keep things in perspective, but it is a Full Moon and emotions can run high. To avoid issues, don't indulge too much with substances while everything is free and easy early in the day, only to realize you're in a pissy mood and less inhibited later on. Keep social distance, wash your hands, don't do anything rash. If you're keeping yourself safe, this next part isn't something to worry about, but use it as a reminder if you suddenly want to throw a house party – Neptune is quincunx the Full Moon in the watery sign of Pisces. At this angle, Neptune can make illness and infection worse, so be extra vigilant this day and for the next two weeks. Don't let the Moon and Uranus encourage you to do things you'll regret.
Pluto Conjunct Jupiter
To make the tensions even higher, we have Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn squaring the sun and moon (albeit widely). Jupiter and Pluto conjunct exactly on April 4th, 3 days before the Full Moon, but they are still pretty chummy with only 0°18′ between them by April 7th. This partnership brings focus, good luck and the drive to make a big change in your life, but being in a square with the sun and moon creates tension with Libra's desire for harmony. Make sure you consider the “we” over the “me” in any big decisions.
This conjunction is also sextile Mercury in Pisces, which encourages progressive, positive thoughts that will hopefully mitigate the tension from other placements. The connection to Pluto also helps you uncover deeper truths and trust your intuition. If you want more help with this, I'm doing a free Month of Meditation in my Inner Circle Facebook Group. A lot of us have more free time now, so why not fill 10 minutes of it by connecting more deeply with yourself? I promise, Netflix will still be there when you're done.
I clearly have more free time myself now, so I also made a Moon Cycle Planner for this moon phase, which you can find here. Eventually I'll charge for these, but if you download one, follow it and give me feedback, you get 3 months free once I begin charging. This is from this Full Moon’s page:

Tarot Card for the Full Moon
Page of Wands
What a perfect blend of innovative, excited energy (that Grand Trine) mixed with the impulsiveness of youth and fire (Uranus square Mars and Sun in Aries). Use this time to explore your passions. Discover what you're truly excited about in life. This is a time of change and new beginnings. If we use this time well, we can come out the other side knowing ourselves and our loved ones more deeply. Just think how many novels are being written, songs being composed, inventions being developed, and babies being conceived (both literally and metaphorically). What a time of potent creation. And challenge and fear and loss. We are truly in a weird time, but this is the energy where Page of Wand thrives. Give him an problem and he'll find a way to solve it. Just make sure any wild ideas are tempered by the need to safety right now, for yourself and others.
"Welcome every problem as an opportunity. Each moment is the great challenge, the best thing that ever happened to you. The more difficult the problem, the greater the challenge in working it out.”
