On April 1, 2026, at 9:12 PM CST, the Full Moon rises in Libra, the sign of balance, justice, beauty, and sacred relationships. This lunation opposes the Sun in Aries, activating the axis of:
Self (Aries) vs. Other (Libra)
Independence vs. Interdependence
Action vs. Reflection
This Full Moon prompts us to reflect:
👉 Where am I out of balance in my relationships—with others and with myself?
👉 Am I honoring my truth while staying in harmony with the collective?
Take a moment to journal these questions. Your soul has answers waiting to be discovered.
