Full Moon in Libra Forecast 🌕💫✨
Full Moon (23°20 Libra) 🌕 April 12th, 2025, at 5:22 pm PT
On Saturday, April 12th, 2025, at 5:22 PM PT, we’ll experience the Full Moon in Libra at 23°.
I find it funny that throughout most of my life, many people around me would always tell me to become “the bigger person” or “take the high road.”
Whether it was to honor the eldest daughter/sister role of my family, or at school when I experience bullying, the principle will wave a finger at me and tell me that fighting back is not the way to resolve conflict with the instigator.
“You gotta make peace. Fighting back solves nothing.”
Take the high road they’ll tell me. This never quite sat right with me.
But Libra wants fairness. Full moons are by nature oppositional. Where we wrestle between our emotions, and how we choose to display our embodiment to the world. With Sun and Chiron making an exact conjunction during the peak of this Full Moon, we realize diplomacy can be at our detriment when the other party or person simply doesn’t play fair.
Libra is the only sign in the zodiac that is represented by an object (the scales). The other signs are symbolized by either an animal or person. That doesn’t mean Libra is incapable of feeling. Libra is often praised as the diplomat of the zodiac, the one who seeks equilibrium and harmony. But we forget that Libra is also a cardinal sign. It moves. It initiates. It’s not passive. It's not here to be walked over.
So when a Libra moon makes a square to Mars in Cancer finishing it’s last degrees, so Mars is anaretic. Libra can grasp onto it’s anger. Resentment becomes a compass pointing toward the places you’ve compromised too much, too often.
And this Full Moon might just be the moment you recognize that some of your “supposed best traits” (your desire for fairness, your ability to hold multiple perspectives, your refusal to escalate) have been used against you by people who never intended to meet you halfway.
We have to do something about this before Mars moves into Leo less than a week later.
What would it mean to stop holding back your fire for the sake of someone else’s comfort?
What would it mean to let your boundaries speak louder than your silence?
What would it look like to be the just person, not the “bigger” one?
Let the scales tip. Let them slam if they must.
This Full Moon reminds us: you don’t have to play nice with people who don’t play fair.
Let’s dive into the aspects at play —
At 8:59 AM, the Sun conjuncts Chiron in Aries, igniting a deeply personal ache: the pain of simply existing. Not for others. Not as a brand. Not as a role. But as you. This is the wound that says, “I’ll be loved only if I’m not too much.” Or, “I matter only if I prove it.”
It’s the core belief we carry from early rupture, the moment someone shamed you for being loud, bold, sensitive, strange, or too alive. The Sun doesn’t let you bypass this anymore. It lights it up like a stage spotlight.
And if you’re honest, you’ve built entire chunks of your identity to compensate for this silent wound. Shapeshifting your identity, pleasantries to fit any social situation even if there was moral decay present. The version that never rocks the boat. The one who smiles when she wants to shatter something. This Full Moon makes it impossible to keep doing that. Because you fill it now. And no longer want to keep up with this role that serves no favors to you.
And then at 6:02 PM Venus stations direct in Pisces to complete the circuit. She emerges from the underworld of blurred boundaries and fantasy-fueled connection from it’s retrograde, no longer intoxicated by the hopes of being chosen by people who don’t know how to hold her.
This is "I’ve seen what I let slide in the name of love, and I’m never betraying myself again" Venus.
So this day offers a two-part activation. We first have the pain of exposure, then Venus reclaiming it’s inherent worth through self-forgiveness, moving forward.
Full Moon in Libra 🌕 23° Insight & Symbolism
23° Libra
At a high-society party, guests from an A-list of celebrities and politicians are entertained by a witty but roguish comedian.
- The Zodiac By Degrees by Martin Goldsmith
There’s something eerily hollow about this degree. It knows how to perform. It can read the room, adapt to the crowd, drop the perfect one-liner, keep things light, clever, palatable.
It is socially fluent, strategically likable, and yet… it doesn’t believe a damn word of what it’s selling.
The Full Moon here throws a spotlight on the collective performance we’ve all bought into. The curated persona. The polished smile. The gentle avoidance of depth in favor of staying likable, safe, respected.
If you’re not careful, this degree will seduce you into becoming your most socially acceptable self. You’ll get applause. Followers. Peace treaties. But your soul? It starves.
What if your deepest self has no interest in performing for the high-society crowd that never really saw you to begin with?
This lunation doesn’t want your brand. It wants your truth.
It wants your holy mess.
It wants the part of you that’s done keeping it cute.
The only party worth showing up to is the one where you bring your whole self.
✅ To-Do’s for the Libra Full Moon:
Say the truth out loud. Even if it makes things messy. Especially if it does. No more sugarcoating.
Set the boundary. Don’t overthink it. Honor your threshold.
It’s good to audit your relationships. Who energizes you? Who drains you? Stop calling it connection if it’s just emotional labor with no upside.
Stop performing fake peace or pretending it’s balanced (whatever you’re dealing with), when it’s not. Say what you see. Say what you feel.
❌ What Not to Do Under This Full Moon:
Don’t play peacekeeper if your nervous system is screaming at you to stop.
Don’t give more than you have. Being emotionally generous doesn’t mean self-depletion.
Don’t ghost your own needs to seem “easy to love.” You’re allowed to need.
Don’t say yes out of guilt or obligation. Whether it’s a plan, a project, or someone’s emotional expectations. No is holy. Let it protect your energy.
