The Full Moon in Libra is exact on Saturday, April 16th at 11:55 am PDT.

This Full Moon in April, known as the Pink Moon named by Native American Tribes after the pink wildflowers which bloom in early spring, represents new beginnings. It is also called Gaia's Moon from the Farmer's Almanac, referring to all of Nature coming to life after winter. This is a time of celebrating all that has been released from last season and all that is now coming into bloom.

Ruled by Venus, the Libra Full Moon amplifies our desire to create Beauty and enjoy heartfelt connections. It is a powerful gateway for creating healing and transformation in how we relate and connect to our selves, each other and life, and how we can choose to create balance, justice and harmony in our inner and outer worlds. In addition, it is helpful to remember to practice Self-love, have compassion for others, and honour your boundaries.

The Full Moon will rise in the same alignment to where the Sun rose at Equinox. This initiates (Sun in Aries) the Venusian Libra Rose Moon to act as a reflector and transmitter to illuminate yet again the Equinox mysteries. Thus, this Full Moon amplifies the energy of the Sacred Marriage / Cosmic Egg activated by the Serpent of Fire (with Libra ruled by Venus, reflected in the Moon and Aries ruled by Mars, reflected in the Sun) for the integrated relationship of the masculine and feminine, seen and unseen, above and below, within and without. We honour these energetics of Divine Union / Life / Death / Rebirth and Resurrection as portrayed through the lives of Inanna & Damuzi, Isis & Osiris, and Mary Magdalene & Yeshua.

The Sacred Mysteries of the Grail are alive!

The powerful energy present now with this Full Moon and into Easter weekend is imbued with potent energy for co-creating with Gaia. To Recalibrate, Rebirth and Renew. For Self within and as a Living Prayer for the Whole. This Libra Full Moon also amplifies the energetics of partnership and relationship. Remember to practice Self-love, compassion for other, and honour your boundaries.

How can you accept and integrate both the light and the dark?

RITUAL SUGGESTIONS

Authentic Inquiry Journaling: Bring your pen in hand to paper and let your heart answer these potent questions: What truth, power and wisdom have I left behind or hidden away that is now ready to come into the light? What is resurrecting within me that will create balance in my life? What relationship dynamics am I holding on to that may feel safe, but is truly not serving? What do I consciously choose to release and create with love? What am I changing? What am I celebrating? What is the deep unwavering truth of who I am? What do I truly desire? What is shaking loose within me? What does my soul/heart need right now?
Sacred Meditation: Visualize a golden glow around your body and opening rose petals at your womb space, and mind. Extend this glow to all encompass all of you. Receive this rejuvenation and then extend it out to your loved ones and the world for Beauty and Healing.
Make Love: To life, to your garden, to yourself, to your creative arts, to your Beloved, including but not limited to sex, infused with sensitivity, open-heartedness, and passion.
Remember: Put out your gemstones and jewels outside under the moonlight or in a window (in water if you can) for cleansing, renewal, and activation.
Commune: Gather is an intentional way with loved ones and do any of the above together and create your own. Now is a time to be with the energy of the collective.
