April 2025 Full Moon in Libra

April 2025 Full Moon in Libra, 8:22pm EDT

This is the last Full Moon of the wormhole, and features a full planetary line up.  The Moon is communing with Arcturus, bringing some big cosmic consciousness, while the Sun is communing with Chiron and Eris.  Inner disruption and core wounds are shining brightly in the light of the Sun, and the Moon and Arcturus are helping us with emotional healing and wholing.  

The traditional dispositor of this Moon is Venus, who is stationing direct at 24 Pisces and part of a Pisces stellium with Mercury, the Soul Star Chakra (North Node), and Saturn.  In Cosmic Consciousness Sedna is the ruler of Libra.  Sedna represents a divine feminine who transcends and comes into wholeness.  This is exactly what the Full Moon is offering with Chiron and Eris sitting with the Sun.

Mars is forming an intersection with the Moon and Sun as well. Mars is still in Cancer in his retrograde shadow (he recovers his shadow around May 1st at 6 Leo).  Mars in Cancer is highlighting themes around the home, family, nurturing, and emotional power. Cancer is the sign of The Mother, and mother wounds may be showing up for purging at this time.   The Libra Moon is asking us to be aware of our reflection that we see in others, and to remember that we project ourselves onto those around us.  Libra/Aries is the relationship axis, where Libra is the mirrored self.  The key to using this moment is to stay aware that the reflections we see “out there” in others is a reflection of ourselves.   Chiron and Eris with the Sun may be reflecting our wounds back to us.  This is to catalyze us towards self-healing and wholing; remember everything happens for us, not to us.  As long as we project our pain onto others and refuse to own it, we won’t reclaim all of our parts of ourselves.   

In addition to the Mars intersection, this lunation features a boomerang yod- The Moon/Arcturus is the fulcrum, while Uranus is in resource with Mercury/Venus/Soul Star/Saturn (remember that in a yod, or finger of God, the planets in resource form great eliminators with the fulcrum planet, creating tension).  The Sun/Chiron/Eris is the “release valve” of this boomerang yod.  So again, we are supported in tending to our unclaimed parts- those core wounds.  How do we do this?  Listen to the parts of yourself that are crying out.  Invite all parts back to yourself.  (The book “No Bad Parts” is a great resource for working with core wounds!)  

The Nodes, Mars, Uranus, and Mercury/Venus/Saturn are also forming a cradle.  A cradle is a bridge (in this case, the Nodes as well as Mercury/Venus/Saturn) with resources in between the bridge (Mars and Uranus forms the resources to each other and the Nodes).  This configuration offers inspired action (Mars) and flashes of insight (Uranus) as to what we truly value.  The Earth Star (South Node) is the path we have already walked- the lessons we have learned, what we have mastered…our karma.  The Soul Star combined with Mercury, Venus and Saturn represents the area of growth in this lifetime.  Our values and hearts desires (Venus) are aligning with our mental body (Mercury) and Saturn is offering the discipline and commitment to this future growth.  So pay attention to what shows up right now- where do you feel compelled to take inspired action?   The energy here is flowing!  Where is the flow leading you?  Are you resisting, or going with it?

Jupiter, Ceres and Vesta- Jupiter is forming a stepping stone with Ceres and a great eliminator with Vesta, while Ceres and Vesta are manifesting with one another.  The manifestation supports the birthing of something and devotion to it, while the Jupiter aspects indicate a friction point- what needs to be eliminated or overcome as you move forward?  Orcus is bridging Ceres, indicating that this birthing and devotion is related to our higher self- our soul’s purpose as we entered this lifetime.  This may feel like something “bigger than you”, something that you are inexplicably called towards.  Or maybe it’s something you have always admired or wanted but never dared to consider…can you look a little deeper?  Often it’s only our fears and self-doubts that keep us tethered to what we know and unable to consider another future.  What if the reason you are admire or are drawn to something is because it is part of your destiny?

The wormhole ends April 27th.  Mercury recovers his shadow on April 25th, while Venus recovers her shadow May 1st as does Mars.   You have a few more weeks to process all that is occurring, but remember to stay open and allowing.  Wormholes can deliver us somewhere new, but we have to be willing to leave our safety net to get there!    The “yes, and” rule of improv comedy is coming to mind right now.  “No” is a knee-jerk reaction many of us have to anything outside our comfort zone…but “yes, and” opens us up to exploring.  It allows us to see options that were previously in our blind spots.   If a future path is calling you and you are afraid, practice looking at it from the “yes, and” lens.  “Yes, this scares me, and I want to consider it anyway.”  “Yes, I enjoy the secure income of this job, and I want to devote ‘x’ number of hours each week to this thing that gives me purpose.”  Let the Moon purge the emotions around your wounds, let yourself integrate and heal a bit, let Mercury and Venus bring a heart/mind alignment in regards to your purpose, and ask Saturn to help you build a routine.  

Happy Full Moon!
