LIBRA FULL MOON
when the moon transits in the sign of libra, we are called to re-evaluate the connection we have with self (sun in aries) vs others (libra full moon), communicating our wants vs needs (being truthful, not suppressing our emotions), considering our needs and the desires of others (compromise), creating balance in our life (instead of thinking the separation of 2, think of the unity of 1 and 1), acknowledging the roles we play in our partnerships (reconsidering the energy and behaviors we project onto others), making adjustments to how much energy we’re putting into our relationships (reciprocity, mutual energy exchanges, putting yourself in other peoples shoes), enforcing boundaries (social distancing), and continuing to indulge in self-love (show compassion to yourself while facing your hardships).
with the unfortunate events that have taken place the last couple of weeks (temporary closures or access to the resources we depended on, unemployment, stay-at-home orders, etc), a lot of us have experienced a shift in the dynamic of our partnerships and households. some of us may be quietly suffering in a space that is or has become more abusive (there has been an increase in domestic violence cases), some of us have been distancing ourselves from our partners/family as a coping mechanism to deal with stress (be sure to check on your partners/family so this doesnt lead to severe depression), or others have been taking advantage of this shift by welcoming a more harmonious energy into their home (enjoying the opportunity to be in the presence of their loved ones). whatever everyone is going through, we are all going through it together. no one’s situation is better or worse because we’re all tolerating and handling our issues differently. this libra full moon is here to remind us of that; oneness and unity.
focus on
creating/discovering harmony within the chaos and destruction
finding middle ground - compromise and reconcile minor differences, as long as it doesn’t influence you to give up your power.
balancing heightened emotions
bringing your heart chakra into balance
personal boundaries
oneness - remember that we’re all struggling/suffering in our own little way
staying grounded - you’ll feel very moody; on/off, good/bad, at peace/riled up - so be extremely cautious of your energy. don’t allow your frustrations to have power over you.

libra full moon message
the time now is timeless. you’re floating into uncertainty. there’s no return; no going “back to normal”. you are moving from the known to the unknown and to actually do that, you are required to leave the past behind you - cut out the unnecessary.
spirit wants you to acknowledge that you’re dealing with inexorable forces and to envision this experience as if you’re venturing into a forest. first, you enter it, then you get lost because you think there’s a path that leads you straight through, but it actually becomes a pathless path that you’re on. you’re sensing your way through with discernment and intuitive judgment. you’re just moving through the shadows and the little light that you have; feeling which way is safest for you. this is what we’re all going through and the libra full moon is here to remind us of that. all we can do is go through it and get through it the best we can. nobody knows how it will turn out. nobody knows where it’ll lead us. nobody knows the way. we’re all walking on the same pathless path.
now for some people, ive seen death (coming in various forms) hitting a little too close to home. im really hoping this isn’t the case, but unfortunately, we all see a surge happening and death has been a theme for some months now so please protect yourself and loved ones. be accepting of all changes and transitions. (to all of my black followers, i have to put an emphasis on this, please look after yourself and your fellow black people - we are not as protected and these are very vulnerable times). ive also seen some people suffering emotional pain, being betrayed, receiving unsettling news, feeling lonely, experiencing betrayal, being let down, discovering a painful truth, and feeling lost.
