April's Moon Musings

Your monthly guide to what's happening in the astrological world

Before we take a Look at the Moon I just wanted to say a big welcome to Aries season!!!! It is a big shift in energy moving from the waters of Pisces into the fiery energy of Aries, so WELCOME!!

First up in April we Welcome a Full Moon in the opposite sign of Aries, LIBRA! This will occur at 1:34pm ASDT on the 6th April.

Libra is an air sign and also marks the beginning of the signs that are less about your relationship to ‘Self’ and more about how you relate to the ‘Other’.

Libra is the harmoniser and the peacemaker of the zodiac, the strength of seeing both sides of the coin, being fair and just.

As the Full moon, this highlights the polarity between the balance that Libra desires and the bold impulsiveness that canoe seen in Aries. As we know, the full moon is about release, letting go of that which is no longer serving our highest good and reaping the rewards of the hard work we have done and the seeds planted during the New moon cycle

So when we bring the Aries energy of Action, Fearlessness, adventure and confidence and merge that with the Libra energy of fairness, harmony, communication and romance we find the middle ground.

Look at navigating through conflict in a calmer way, without needing to rush in Think about how you show up in your relationships, are you confident to ask for what you need? Or are you a people pleaser that ends up filled with resentment?

Are you able to turn on the observer and see both sides of something or is your ego taking over?

This is the time to find the balance between your own wants, needs and desires AND those of your loved ones. This Libra full moon may bring your intimate relationships to the forefront so if there is anything that needs resolving this energy will support this happening fairly

Libra is Ruled by the planet Venus (planet of love and beauty) So she wants to show her love and also to receive it. Are you able to do both?

Cardinal signs and those with strong 7th and 1st house placements will feel this the most - Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Look to the house that is ruled By Libra to see where this energy will show up in your personal life.

As April draws to a close as does Aries season with our Second Aries New Moon of the year! This New moon also brings the intensity of a total solar eclipse with it. This will occur at 2:12pm ASDT with the eclipse a few minutes later at 2:16pm on the 20th April.

This is potent I AM Energy!

Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac, the pioneer, the leader the WARRIOR!

It is time to lean into your warrior energy.

The New Moon asks us to set our intentions and plant the seeds for the future however, I am not inclined to do this during an eclipse as the energy can be a little unpredictable and I tense.

Instead I recommend being gentle with yourself, putting yourself first and checking in on your personal needs and desires.

Aries has a natural confidence and is generally good at asking for what they want so this is supportive energy to speak up and take action towards your goals

Be careful Not to react too harshly or be overly impulsive though, you may say something your don’t mean. Aries also represents adventure, challenge and new ideas so if your were thinking of starting a new venture or beginning a new routine, the Aries New moon will support you in taking the action needed to move forward here.

Look to the house in your chart that is ruled by Aries to see what area of your life will be in focus and receiving this energy

Cardinal signs and those with strong 1st house or Aries placements will feel this the most - Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
