The Pink Full Moon In Libra Is Here — & It’s Your Wake Up Call

R29 babes, the Pink Full Moon in Libra arrives the same day as April Fool’s Day, on April 1st. This Full Moon may seem and feel like a prank on the trickster’s day, because we are being pushed and pulled in different directions, making our emotions complex and contradictory when it comes to matters of the heart — but fear not. The Full Moon in Libra represents a moment to find harmony, peace, and abundance in our lives.

Why is it called the Pink Moon, you ask? Just look outside! The phlox, a mossy-pink wildflower, is budding, marking a marvelous entrance into spring. The bright flowers spark a sense of renewal, beauty, and joy.

While the Full Moon in Libra is typically a prime time to re-center, recalibrate, and rebalance our partnerships and sense of self, Jupiter in Cancer's fraught aspect to the lunation will create a sense of emotional exaggeration or discord. Keep in mind that this is not necessarily a bad thing to experience; it just means that Jupiter is going to expand our romantic inclinations or our frustrations. Our idealism will be intense, making it difficult for us to get down from our high horse. Not only are we taking a stand, but we aren’t compromising in matters. It’s our way or no way! 

Two days before the Pink Moon, on March 30th, Venus journeys in Taurus. The reason this planetary shift is significant is that it reaffirms that we aren’t budging from our perspectives. The Bullish sign doesn’t sway easily once it makes up its mind. With Neptune in Aries sharing a minor connection to Venus in Taurus, the vibe will be dreamy. Translation: We’ll be caught up in how we want things to be, instead of how they are. Like Jupiter’s aspect to the Full Moon, this energy can go either way. If we wish to project positivity, then romanticism will prevail. On the flip side, negativity has the potential to pierce illusions and become aware of flaws. Basically, it’s a choose-our-own-emotional-adventure lunation (so to speak).

We are still working through Mercury retrograde in Pisces until April 9th, which began at the end of the retrograde on March 20th. Issues from the past will be brought up because we feel as though others aren’t evolving or paying attention to our needs or concerns. Having an open heart and mind encourages us to work through these problems. Understanding that it might take time to remedy previous upsets is vital. On the off chance that we can move forward swiftly and with ease, know that the Full Moon is a wake-up call to appreciate those we care about and not take them for granted. The same applies to how they treat us, too.

As long as we listen and are accountable, overcoming the obstacles we face should be doable. But on the off chance that we want to dig our heels in the ground and tilt the scales to our side, then arguments will ensue. Even though it’ll be difficult not to react, we must find our calm and be chill. There is an opportunity here to switch gears and to create an equilibrium if we can take ownership and apologize. Saving the drama for another day might be hard, so take a beat in deciding what to do. We can say how we feel and give people a hot minute to wrap their heads around it all. This ensures a rational response and a conversation geared towards resolution.
