With the Libra full Moon today, we reach the apex of this Aries Lunar cycle. The Aries/Libra axis works with the continuum of ourselves and others. All the ways we play with who we are in relation to those outside ourselves.
The full Moon is sitting directly across from Chiron in Aries (an exact opposition). Chiron in Aries is the energetic representation of the core wound of being. Therefore, light is shining on our very essence, asking us, Who are you? Why are you here?
It can be a very uncomfortable, squirmy place to sit because wounding envelopes every part of us in some way.
We have many frameworks we play at down here on Earth: worker, parent/child, partner, owner, etc. These check the box quickly and easily to answer the question of who we think we are. How we’ve played the game of Life…what recognition we’ve gathered and maintained.
But these answers only scratch the surface.
Digging deeper, we might ask:
Who am I being physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually?
Who am I on the spectrum of Self-love/Other-love?
Who am I when I’m alone and have no outer mirror to reflect an answer back?
I’m including an excerpt from my journal this week that shows me grappling with these questions. This is what the embodied lived energy of our current astrology looks like in my life:
4/9/25
“I spent a lot of time alone yesterday and plan to continue that today.
I’m working on being with my Soul, listening for my higher Self and inner wisdom. What direction does my life want to go now? What form does my creativity want to take?
I’ve decided to date my 58yo self and find out what she’s like now instead of assuming it’s what I already know about her. Even though I spend a lot of time alone, I distract myself with other people’s ideas and creations. I need to empty myself out, clear away the energy I’ve gathered from so many places, distill out what’s mine from the other.
I’m a part of the All that Is but also came here to express myself uniquely…..how?
What is my own signature energy? It’s easy to say it doesn’t matter if I find out, that there’s too much noise already…one more voice won’t make a difference.
But that way of thinking negates my very existence. I wouldn’t be here if that were true.
Something bigger than me deemed my presence here to be so important as to expend enormous amounts of energy to hold my Spirit in this dense matter, and to continue to do so even in this moment as the beat of the Universe resounds in my chest.
This is the relationship most important to develop now. Everything moving forward will hinge on how clearly I see myself through my Soul’s eyes. The unimportant to my path will continue to fall away and the precious remains right in front of me. All I have to do is notice and give it my attention.”

This is my journal entry, but could just as easily be many others’ given how universal these feelings are.
We came here to have a unique experience but have been trained away from doing just that. We conform to fit in and ‘survive’ (core wound).
Now more than ever, we see people ‘cancelling’ other’s expressions. We’re being whipped into a frenzy of judgement by the political powers that be because this trains us to stay within the lines drawn for us and keeps us from what’s True.
Who wants to play outside the lines? (Hand raised!)
Just as significant today is Venus (the ruler of Libra) stationing direct shortly after the full Moon perfects. She does this right next to Saturn and they’ll be traveling together until the end of April.
I love the message they’re bringing us with this conjunction as Venus begins her new cycle as a Morning Star. We are asked to put our Love (Venus) into a workable framework (Saturn) that can build a strong foundation (Saturn) in our lives as we move forward.
We’ll know better what that looks like as we do the work of clearing extraneous mental/emotional distractions and turn our attention toward more Love in all areas of our lives.
Love for others and love for ourselves.
Love is the best and only true cure for core wounds.
Set yourself up now to work on the things you know will move you in this direction. Maybe you finally schedule an appointment with a practitioner that can help your body heal. Maybe you find a coach to help you work through destructive repeating patterns. Maybe you seek out a deeper spiritual practice.
Whatever life is nudging you toward, don’t delay. Healing energy abounds and synchronicities prevail. Pay attention, dear friends.
May you choose to accept the invitation of this full Moon to connect with your Soul and lovingly live into its full expression.
All the Love,
