The Full Moon in Libra 2025: Venus Reclaims her Throne

This Full Moon occurs at 23° Libra at 5:22 pm PST/8:22 pm EST on Saturday, April 12th, 2025. It will be most impactful for those with planets and major angles between 21° — 25° of Cardinal and Air Signs; Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, Gemini, and Aquarius.

The Full Moon in Libra is a time where our relationships, values, and ideas of peace and pleasure are put on full display.  Libra craves balance, equality, and fairness. Where do the scales need balancing in your life? How are you addressing issues of give and take? Today you are given an opportunity to answer these questions. This lunar event encourages us to address any imbalances, release resentments, and cultivate mutual understanding.

With Libra being an air sign, there is a lot of mental energy buzzing today. We may feel extra alert, chatty, or even feel compelled to write out our thoughts and ideas. This Full Moon offers a unique opportunity for meaningful conversations.

With Full Moons bringing completion, it’s possible for some to find a resolution to a conflict around this time, or a partnership could come to an end. Venus’ influence on this Moon could also see creatives receiving work or commission offers. 

This Full Moon is also a call for celebration! Celebrate your meaningful relationships, and all that you find beautiful in the world. Celebrate your own beauty, inner and outer! Libra energy is about enjoying life to the fullest.

Adding to this Full Moon’s story is an intriguing detail, there is impressive cosmic synchronicity with this Libra Moon occurring on the same day that Venus (Libra’s planetary ruler) stations direct in the sign of Pisces (her sign of exaltation). This is a powerful and rare cosmic occurrence that amplifies our urges for peace, balance, and harmony in the world.  Venus, now reclaims her power and her throne.

Venus retrograde may have brought unresolved relationship dynamics to the surface. Now, as Venus stations direct, this Full Moon illuminates these revelations, helping you see your connections with greater clarity. This is a time to make decisions about how to move forward—whether that means deepening a bond, setting boundaries, or letting go. Venus in direct motion brings a sense of ease and flow back to matters of love and beauty.

While the overall forecast is good, there’s a final plot twist…Chiron, the wounded healer, will be standing in exact opposition to our Libra Moon. We know the Libra Full Moon seeks balance and diplomacy, but Chiron’s opposition asks: "At what cost?" This is a time to acknowledge codependency, people-pleasing, or unresolved relationship patterns. If old wounds resurface, see them as an opportunity to heal through self-awareness and honest communication. Ultimately, this opposition invites healing through honest reflection, urging us to transform old wounds into wisdom—especially in partnerships.
