Full Moon in Libra, April 12/13, 2025

Theme: Healing of Self and Other

Striking a balance between Self and Other, and healing the aspects of ourselves that we don’t like to see reflected in our relationships with others, is what this full Moon in Libra is about. Including a tense T-square with Mars, a powerful Venus-Saturn-Mercury-Neptune alignment, and deeply karmic undertones, this lunation is asking us to come home to ourselves and heal how we relate to others.

We can expect big revelations in the realm of relationships, especially if they reflect unhealed facets of ourselves, such as self-esteem, self-worth, or the propensity for self-discipline. A major shift in how we see ourselves and/or how we are seen by others may be on the horizon.

Chiron and Sun are exactly conjoined and opposite the Moon - this is a deeply personal healing portal. This conjunction highlights core wounds around identity, self-worth, and independence. Old pain may resurface, especially related to asserting your needs or being “too much” for others. But it’s also an incredible time for soul-level healing through the courageous expression of deep truths.

These planets form a T-square with Mars in Cancer, source of emotional friction, because Mars (the warrior god) is not at ease in Cancer, the sign of emotional preservation. The Moon in Libra craves harmony and diplomacy, while the Sun in Aries wants bold action in service to the healing that Chiron represents. Mars in Cancer adds emotional volatility, defensiveness, and the urge to protect. This creates inner conflict between the needs for diplomacy and self-assertiveness.

Supportive Crystals:

• Black Tourmaline - to provide grounding and protection during emotionally charged exchanges. This stone is known to transform negativity resulting from confrontation into neutral or even positive vibrations.

  
  

  

  Carnelian (orange) and Bloodstone (green)

• Carnelian and Bloodstone – promote courageous action, resilience and assertive communication while soothing aggression. These stones used together are a powerful pair for facing fear and tapping into the courage and passion of the Christ, whose blood is represented by flecks of red into the green mass of Bloodstone.

  
  

  

  
  

• Moonstone – softens emotional reactivity, especially around family or past wounds. This stone calms anger and helps us feel compassion for those who react to their pain with judgment, anger or frustration.

• Chrysoprase - encourages heart-healing and the forgiveness of others. Yet another stone corresponding to the heart chakra, Chrysoprase taps into the frequency of Divine Love.

Venus, Saturn, Mercury, and the North Node form a stellium in Pisces that carries themes of divine love, karmic relationships, intuitive insight, and soulful devotion.

Venus and Saturn working together highlight long-term commitments in love, finances, and creative work. Saturn grounds the spiritual into form and offers the wherewithal to manifest the dreams inherent in Pisces, while Venus brings her heart and artistry to the table.

Mercury lends his intuitive clarity and communication skills, but in Pisces, there’s a dreamy, idealistic twist. The North Node here amplifies destiny themes, asking: What have you come here to create or commit to on a soul level?

This is the time to realign values, communication, and commitments with soul truth. And with Neptune newly in Aries, that spiritual quest has become an urgent necessity, second to none.

Supportive Crystals:

• Lepidolite – emotional balance and spiritual awareness. This crystal naturally contains lithium, which dispels anxiety and promotes calming of the mind.

  
  

  

  
  

• Amethyst – connection to higher wisdom. Amethyst is to the mineral world what Lavendar is to the plant world - a highly versatile crystal that clears negativity, supports mindfulness and promotes deep healing.

  
  

  

  
  

• Aquamarine – clarity and compassion. This gorgeous crystal helps us adjust to new situations by dispelling fear and bringing about emotional acceptance of what is.

The karmic relationship theme is underlined by another supportive aspect in this full Moon chart: Mars and Uranus sextile the lunar nodes. Mars, having been through a full retrograde cycle back and forth through Cancer, is about to victoriously re-emerge into fiery Leo, much to his heart’s delight. After spending almost eight months in this Cancerian nightmare, since September of 2024, this is a major milestone for the planetary symbol of our stamina, willpower and our ability to move forward.

Perhaps as a farewell gesture to the drama and pain incurred as a result of his passage through Cancer, he is joining ranks with Uranus and the nodes to set the record straight and shed the weight of the past by courageously stepping into the unknown while trusting the path unfolding before him. Au Revoir to the emotional storms on the high seas of Mars’ fall, and Bonjour to smooth sailing ahead!

Supportive Crystals:

• Pyrite – boosts confidence and strengthens willpower during transitions. The masculine or yang member of the cristalline pair Hematite/Pyrite, this mineral connects us to Divine Will.

• Labradorite – awakens your inner vision and helps navigate the unknown. This is a shaman stone that magicians use to see into the dark, including the shadows of our psyche.

  
  

  

  
  

• Red Jasper – grounds ambition with perseverance and courage. Root chakra stone par excellence, Red Jasper has been used since time immemorial by indigenous people to stay grounded and connected to the natural world.

In Summary:

This Full Moon is a catalyst for healing imbalances, particularly in relationships and self-worth issues. It could bring up old wounds but also shows the way towards integration, authenticity, and soulful connection. The cosmos invites you to honor your boundaries without shutting down your heart, and to heal yourself in order to better connect with others.

Consider it a Cosmic Checkpoint, a stop along the way to take stock of your “dignity score” and re-establish healthy boundaries, while at the same time - from a place of strength and self-esteem - being willing to listen and open your heart to others. Together, resonating heart-to-heart, we are so much more than we could ever be alone.
