Saturday, APRIL 16

The Full Moon occurs today at 2:56 PM EDT in the sign of Libra, and epiphanies can happen now. We’re likely to experience revelations about our independence, need for others, and partnerships. It’s a time of culmination and heightened emotional awareness.

Where Aries is about self-assertion, Libra is about compromise. With the Libra Moon, we are particularly aware of the need for relationships and all that comes with maintaining them — compromising, negotiating, graciousness, and balancing. The Aries Sun, on the other hand, is self-assertive, leading, and personally courageous. This Full Moon urges us to strike a balance between meeting our personal needs and attending to the needs of a significant other, and between independence or autonomy and dependence or companionability. Something comes to full bloom, setting us on a new path.

At the time of this lunation, Saturn harmonizes with the Sun and Moon, while Pluto forms a square to the lights. There can be helpful interactions with superiors or with older or more experienced people, and benefits can come as a result. There can be a choice to structure, limit, or simplify our lives significantly that leads to major improvements. We’re a little more careful and conservative now, but we can also feel a lot of pressure related to our ambitions or desire for more control over our lives. However, all planets are direct at this time, helping us to feel less burdened or held back.

The Moon heads into Scorpio at 8:24 PM EDT, and we’re perceptive, observant, and investigative.

The void Moon occurs from 5:58 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Pluto), until the Moon enters Scorpio at 8:24 PM EDT.
