Full Moon In Libra...April 6, 2012...

April's Full Moon is a little more than 24 hours away.  In the sign of Libra, it will peak at 3:20 PM/EST.  The main focus of this cycle?  Relationships.  A Full Moon in the sign of the scales would usually signal the perfect time for chatting about relationship issues.  Not this time.  There is a lot of stress making its way around the planets.  Prepare yourself for a lot of drama.

Energy will be plentiful.  Not all of it is negative.  Any tendencies or habits you or your loved ones may have will be rising into plain sight.  This is a good time to really analyze things on an emotional level.  What are you doing to balance things, and what are you doing to knock things off kilter?  What is the best way to resolve outstanding issues, so the relationship can move forward? Relationships are about give and take.  Achieving balance so things can be more harmonious.

Venus in Gemini squares Mars retrograde in Virgo, and both are in mutable T-Square aspect with Neptune.  Trying to resolve things within relationships can be met with a flaring of tempers, irritability, and jealousy.  Facts can be incomplete, or not present at all.  The going will be anything but easy.  Focus on the practical. If issues are moved on in seeking resolution, stay flexible. Adapt.

Libra ruled Venus is in Gemini, and will be moving into an exact sextile with Uranus in Aries on April 9th.  There will be energies amplifying a need to be independent.  A need for freedom.  With Venus being square to Neptune, there could be an increase in white lies being tossed around.  Obviously, this can destroy the trust in a relationship, so to quote an old saying "honesty is always the best policy".  Saturn is still in Libra, and lying will just bring back the negative times ten (even if it's to avoid hurting someones feelings).  Karma will always find its way...

The Moon in Libra and Sun in Aries, form an aspect to Jupiter in Taurus.  The resulting energies create an atmosphere that can result in heavy emotional drama, on a personal and even a group level.  Take the time to consider any and all facts you can before making any types of decisions.  Jumping the gun with reactions is never a good idea, and doubly so here.

Pluto in Capricorn is waxing sextile to Chiron in Pisces.  This tells us its time to turn our focus inward.  Relax.  Let go of any obsessive feelings we may still have that are a result of old injurious issues.

A newly direct Mercury in Pisces is inconjunct Saturn in Libra.  This can make us feel uncertain.  "What did they mean by that?"  "Did he get where I was coming from?"  " I think I made my point clearly, but now they are acting weird...did I offend them?"  Choose your words carefully before saying them. This atmosphere can be insane making causing one doubt and uncertainty. Proceed with care when sharing your thoughts and/or feelings, so misinterpretation is nullified.

Over all for this Full Moon, do what you can to not jump to conclusions/judgements.  Stay away from the 'he saids ~ she saids'.  Two words:  Kindness, and Tact.  Actually, it might be best to work on your listening skills, and keep your speaking to a minimum.

The following excerpt is from the Farmer's Almanac:

• Full Pink Moon - "This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the Spring.  Other names for this month's celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn."
