Full Moon in Libra — article

On March 20th at 9:43pm EDT, the Full Moon becomes exact in 0 degrees of Libra. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the relevant Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed…

This Full Moon has heightened effects on us for two important reasons: first, the zero degree aspect, secondly, it is also a SuperMoon (i.e., the Moon is at its closest distance to the Earth). All of this increases emotionality and fosters larger shifts in consciousness.

This particular Full Moon occurs on the day of the Vernal/Spring Equinox, in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in Pisces; it quincunxes Uranus in 0 degrees of Taurus. Meanwhile, Chiron (in almost 2 degrees of Aries) conjuncts the Sun in Aries and opposes the Moon in Libra.

So, we have several things going on here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; feel free to also watch my Members-Only Full Moon video here.

Late in the evening on Wednesday (March 20th), the Moon enters Libra; this starts the energetic build up towards the Full Moon — and only 15 minutes later, the Sun in Aries opposes the Moon in Libra. 

The Libra-Aries polarity highlights the spiritual dance between various polarities: individual drives or goals and one-on-one relationships, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration. Whether we are single or partnered, we are all in relationship to someone — any one-on-one relationship counts here — business, personal, health-related, etc.

For the next two weeks, we seek…

…balance between ourselves (symbolized by Aries) and others (Libra); it’s important here to realize that relationships are essential to our existence, and that they play a crucial role both in defining and achieving our personal goals/desires.

We are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Ask yourself: Where has feminine and masculine gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one? Of both? What about too little?

Aries symbolizes our requirement to be an individual who is free to explore and express themselves; Libra, on the other hand, represents our desire to feel connected, and see both sides of the coin by looking at contrast and comparison. Ask yourself: Where in my life do I need to be more authentic? Assertive? Understanding and considerate? Who am I being in my relationships? Who am I being in my relationship between me, myself, and I?

The Sun in Aries calls us to look at the roles that “assertion” and “independence” play in our lives. We’re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self — and total honesty is crucial here — with ourselves and with others.

As best as you can, allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through — these include courage, openness towards the new, directness, and a healthy sense of identity. The “denser/lower” vibrations of Aries can be rash, impulsive, insensitive, and (at worst) combative. Connecting with the highest vibration of Libra will help us stay away from the denser vibrations of Aries.

The Moon in Libra emphasizes the need for collaboration, objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight now swings over to our relationships…

You may recall that the Vernal Equinox occurs on the same day as the Full Moon — in fact, it becomes exact less than 4 hours prior. All Equinoxes are energetic turning points from one season to the next, so we are invited to be extra tuned-in; they are also super-potent times for setting intentions.

You can think of Equinoxes as energetic gateways, where we experience the interrelationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter. So, even though we normally only set intentions during a New Moon phase, this would be an exception…

When setting intentions, ask yourself: What relationship “new beginning” am I ready to engage in? What practical steps do I need to take to make this happen? How might my various communities support me in this? What needs my compassion and understanding if I am to step into this new beginning?

The Moon in 0 degrees of Libra quincunxes Uranus in 0 degrees of Taurus — again, we have some exalted degrees here — this indicates a heightened amount of restlessness and energetic discomfort in our interactions with others. As best as you can, hang out with that inner discomfort, rather than pushing through or backing away.

Ask yourself: How flexible could I be for the next two weeks, if I really tried? What internal shift would help me stay open and aligned with my unique talents and preferences?

Keep in mind that “life is a series of adjustments” 🙂 As best you can, give yourself time to make those adjustments, and allow your breath to ground you… Also keep in mind that impulsive reactions often backfire. Flexibility is key — ask yourself: what needs to be adjusted from the inside out?

Chiron conjuncts the Sun in Aries (this aspect becomes exact on March 22nd); and it also opposes the Moon in this Full Moon chart. Conjunctions mark endings and beginnings; oppositions create an awareness of what needs to be brought back into a balanced state.

In this instance, the combination of these aspects provides a glimpse of new possibilities in the relationship between the masculine and feminine.

This invites us to become more aware of what needs healing on our individual journey and within our relationships. Ask yourself: What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with “the apparent other”?

This combo is also helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to unhealed wounds, especially around self-worth. The key here is to bring compassion, self-acceptance, and love to our triggers, insecurities, old wounds, and limitations.

It will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and our bodies — and if waves of anger or frustration come up… let them, do your best to simply observe the waves; ask yourself: Am I the “wave” or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all “waves” to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves). Feel free to also read my article on Chiron in Aries until 2027

Now, with Mars (the ruler of Aries) in Taurus, and Venus (the ruler of Libra) in Aquarius — and both of those planets squaring each other in two fixed signs (exact on March 21st) — we get an opportunity to stretch and grow (big time) in regards to masculine/feminine dynamics! Balancing and integrating this within ourselves will be very useful for the next two weeks.

We may also feel pulled between our personal desires for stability, versus our relationships with like-minded people or our group affiliations — ask yourself: Could I make space for connections with like-minded people? Or perhaps for involvement in a cause? Could I also make space for going after material abundance and peaceful, pleasurable experiences?

When connecting with others, could I agree to disagree, rather than dig my heels in? Could I let go of wanting to control someone else’s experience? Could I let go of wanting to be controlled?

Mars in Taurus helps us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves. Ask yourself: How worthy do I feel? How valuable? What if I had value and worth without needing to do anything, simply by my presence, my being alive? How do my actions reflect my sense of my own value?

Venus in Aquarius is inviting us to see that each of us is an integral part of a much larger “field”, that our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful — ask yourself: In what ways might I make a difference in humanity’s future? In what small ways could I contribute? If I dared to make a big contribution, what would that look like?

The challenge here might be that we want to support our visionary mental model for an exciting future by connecting in the world with others, while also “getting ahead”, and acting to further our own sense of self-worth or stability (this might include financial stability, physical satisfaction, etc.) Ask yourself: What if I made room for both of these energies? If there were a way to combine both, what might that be?

Retrograde Mercury aligns once again with Neptune in Pisces; this represents another opportunity to rethink our connection to intuitive knowingness and realign with our divine nature and our sixth sense. Rest as much as possible and be in nature as much as you can.

Ask yourself: What do I listen to? Could I be still enough to listen to my heart? My intuition? Might I hear subtle and loving messages if I did listen? Am I able to trust, relax, and go with the flow, as messages come through from within?

Retrograde Mercury in Pisces squares Jupiter in Sagittarius, so beware of jumping to conclusions — when stressed, slow down and deepen your breathing, so you can respond rather than react. And remember: we are all participating in a global, evolutionary process.

One other thing about Jupiter: in early April, it will begin its Station and Retrograde phases; if you get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we’ll be doing a pretty deep dive on this subject in the next one! Click here for more info

To sum it all up: This Super Full Moon — and the coming month — offer some challenging energies, but also some tailwinds that could carry us along to some big breakthroughs. As always, double-check whether you are coming from love or fear — and remember that impatience is a manifestation of fear (the fear that the timing or pace of things is not “right” 😉

Ask yourself: What is the mirror of life showing me currently? Who do I still need to forgive? Where am I held back by judgment, blame, anger? If I were to die tomorrow, what would I regret not having said?

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in the following: 0-2 degrees of Libra, Aries, Capricorn, Cancer, or 28-29 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius, or Gemini? If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
