Full Moon in Libra Chart: March 20, 2019

The Full Moon in Libra marks the beginning of a new cycle.

On Wednesday night, the Full Moon occurs very early in the sign of Libra, shortly after the Sun enters Aries. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.

This Full Moon urges us to strike a balance between meeting our personal needs and tending to the needs of a significant other, and between independence or autonomy and dependence or companionability. The Aries-Libra polarity is a relationship axis, where Aries represents “self” and Libra represents “other.” Where Aries is about self-assertion, Libra is about compromise. The primary energy of the Libra Moon is the awareness of the need for relationships and all that might come with maintaining them — compromising, negotiating, graciousness, and balancing. The Aries Sun, on the other hand, is self-assertive, leading, and personally courageous. The Libra Moon is diplomatic, equality-minded, and fair-minded. The Aries Sun, however, values authenticity over tact and is energized by independent efforts. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict.

With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as emotions burst forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is new and not particularly rational as yet.

In the first degree of Libra (the Sun is at the Aries point/spring equinox), epiphanies or culminations occurring now have special significance, leading to important new beginnings and fresh starts. Something comes to full bloom and it sets us on a new path. Interestingly, the ruler of Libra, Venus, is approaching a square to Mars, the ruler of the Aries Sun, pointing to further conflict and tension between our needs for independence and togetherness. The results of these conflicts can prompt new beginnings. Note that while this Full Moon occurs at the beginning of the sign of Libra, next month’s Full Moon will be near the end of the sign, so there is more to the story and perhaps final word on it around the Full Moon on April 19th.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 0 degrees and 9 minutes of Libra, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 25 to 30 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) and 0 to 3 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.
