"Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is an adequate perception of the world." ~Hans Margolius
"I am not fully healed, I am not fully wise, I am still on my way. What matters is that I am moving forward."
"On April 12th, the Full Moon rises in the velvet sign of Libra, the eternal balancer, the lover of beauty, the one who longs to lay down her sword and invite grace back into the room. This is a moment when we fully integrate the intense eclipse energy of March and start to ground into equilibrium again. The dust has settled and the truth has been revealed. During this pink moon’s lunar light, the sky leans in and whispers a deeply vulnerable question:
Where have you been hiding your heart?"
"The Libra full Moon is the first full Moon of the astrological year. It comes to us near the end of Aries season, when we’ve had four weeks to focus on ourselves and our soul’s mission. Libra reminds us that we live in a world of other people and no matter how much we want to stay on our desired path, there will always be outside influences that distract or support us."
"In the midst of Aries Season, when are aligning with our soul's purpose, this Moon brings a powerful reminder - we're connected to everyone around us. While we're focused on our path, people will naturally flow in and out of our journey, either uplifting or redirecting our energy. This Moon invites us to tune into which relationships truly align with our highest path and which ones might be pulling us in another direction.
Libra's wisdom starts within. As the sign of the Scales, it reveals when our inner world needs rebalancing. Life brings many moments that can tip our scales - it's natural and part of our journey. The key lies in recognizing when we need to pause and realign our energy, especially before connecting with others.
The Sun in Aries this Full Moon can intensify our emotions, bringing up frustration or restlessness. Take time to check in with yourself. If you notice strong feelings arising, pause and create peace within before moving forward.Your meditation practice, yoga, or breath work can help bring any intense energies into harmony. When you approach life from this balanced space, everything flows more naturally."
"Known traditionally as the Pink Moon, this full moon derives its name not from its color but from the delicate pink blooms of wildflowers like creeping phlox that often appear during spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Beyond its seasonal symbolism, this full moon holds significant spiritual meaning for those attuned to the cycles of nature and lunar energy.
The Spiritual Significance of the April Full Moon:The April full moon is a time of renewal, rebirth, and growth, echoing the themes of spring. Just as the earth awakens from its winter slumber, this lunation invites us to embrace fresh beginnings and nurture our personal growth."
"Now that the eclipses are behind us, we’re starting to see the extent of the changes they’ve brought. The Libra Full Moon is doing that for relationships and the ground rules under which they’ve been operating.
And, boy, are we getting an eyeful.
Everyone’s approach to relationships has grown increasingly self-directed since March 2023, as eclipses in the signs of Aries and Libra powered up the individual end of each arrangement.
This Full Moon is the first lunation on that axis – in fact, the first lunation at all – since the cycle ended with the dramatic send-off of March’s Aries solar eclipse.
Think back two years. (Yes, that might take some effort and focus.) What were your key relationships then? What are they now? How have your internal ground rules changed? And the external agreements?
Some of those changes reflect deep, deep healing. Signs of them are in the Full Moon’s party. The Sun’s conjunction to Chiron has us assimilating, and growing from, long-standing issues of anger and frustrated agency.
The link encourages embracing the higher potentials of Aries – courage, daring, leadership. In what way does your relationship story of the past two years demonstrate your own healing?"
"What am I asking of my beloved that I need to do for myself?"

Supplies:
Step One:
On a piece of paper, write one to three intentions you’d like to grow and nourish—either within yourself or in your relationships. Examples might be:
Fold the paper and place it at the bottom of your planting pot or place it on your altar.
Step Two:
Begin to fill your pot with soil. As you do so, bring yourself into a flow with mindful, loving awareness. Feel into your intention.
Gently place the seed(s) into the soil, saying aloud something like:
"As I plant this seed, I plant the energy of _______ (name your intention). I trust that in divine timing, it will take root and flourish."
Cover the seed lightly with soil and gently water it.
Step Three:
Hold your pot in your hands and reflect on how you can nurture your intention like a tender plant—with sunlight, attention, and space.
Place the pot somewhere where it can receive both moonlight and sunlight. Each day and time you water your plant, return to your intention and speak to your seedling lovingly.
Perhaps stating: "With each passing day, may my intentions grow with grace. I trust the unfolding."
Alternatively, if you do not have access or do not wish to plant seedlings, you can make this practice metaphorical by simply writing your intentions on paper and envisioning them sprouting with each day.
May your seeds of intention sprout and blossom with the magic of this Libra moonlight.
