Full Moon in Libra: The Scales of Self-Reflection

April 12th, 2025; the moon stretches full in Libra’s embrace. It’s a supermoon, luminous and gorgeous, tugging not just at tides but at our tender parts. Our thoughts scatter like windblown petals, emotions rise like saltwater waves, and somewhere in the ebb and flow; we hear the whispered question: Who am I, really?

This full moon is more than a cycle.
It’s a reckoning.
It’s the mirrored dance of light and shadow.

Libra, the keeper of balance, comes cloaked in soft robes of order. The scales she holds are not always about justice in the world; sometimes they are the inner measures we ignore. What have I given more to? What have I neglected? Where is the tension in the tilt of my own soul?

She is not loud.
She does not yell.
She simply reflects.

Libra energy is a quiet restoration; like a woman sweeping her porch at dawn. Not to impress the world, but to feel peace under her own feet. This moon asks us to pause in that same spirit. It’s a sacred moment to reflect on the barriers we’ve built; not just around our hearts, but around our identities.

We walk with so many masks.
We love with so many conditions.
We sit in circles and still feel alone.

But this moon? She wants us to be seen. Even by ourselves.

The Shadow Period: April 12th — 18th

This isn’t just a night. It’s a shadow stretch, a lingering taste of revelation. Until the 18th, the energies will press against your skin like silk dipped in fire. You’ll feel it in your interactions; in family conversations, co-worker friction, even the way you hold space for your own thoughts.

This is a time to pay attention.
To your “yes” and your “no.”
To your need to please.
To your fear of abandonment.
To the ache behind your smile.

Libra guides us to center. Not in perfection, but in truth. Her scales are not punishment; they are mirrors. She teaches us to look at every relationship as a lesson. And the first relationship is always the one you have with yourself.

There are four common roots rising under this moon. You might feel one or all of them surfacing. Don’t run. They are not punishments; they are invitations.

The Four Barriers

Fundamentally Fraud.
That echo of childhood, when you were told; or shown; that you were not enough. That your worth must be earned. That your voice was too much or too little. This moon says: See it. Speak it. And release it.

Disloyalty and Abandonment.
You shrink yourself to belong. You silence your truth to stay in the room. You believe that if you grow, you’ll be left behind. But this fear? It is not loyalty. It’s a lock. Let Libra’s energy restore you to your wholeness; so you know who you are, even when standing alone.

The Present Thought.
Start here. Start with what you think right now. Your conscious mind is the gateway. Don’t get lost in spirals. Ask: What do I believe about myself today? Where did that belief come from? Then trace the thread gently.

Patterns of Validation.
If you’re only okay when someone else says you are, you are handing them your power. The Libra moon is asking you to pull it back. Piece by piece. Word by word.

This full moon isn’t just about letting go~it’s about letting in.

Letting in awareness.
Letting in responsibility.
Letting in your whole self.

Reflectional Thoughts:

• What relationship in my life reflects my biggest lesson?
• What do I fear people will discover about me?
• Where do I perform to belong?
• What does balance feel like in my body?
• What am I good at but don’t feel fulfilled in?
• What are you passionate about? Would you enjoy this even in your free time?
• What are you doing in your free time that makes your spirit smile?

Pay attention to what brings you joy and passion ~go there. Nothing is unworthy of your passion. Nothing is too small to grow into something sacred.

So reflect. Light a candle. Journal. Dance. Cry. Walk beneath her light with bare feet if you must. Whatever you do, do it with the intention of balance~not perfection.Libra will guide you, but only if you are willing to look in the mirror and stay there a little longer.
