April’s full Moon, the Pink Moon, is in lovely Libra this week. That, coupled with the energy of the Jupiter-Neptune connection described previously, means you may find yourself seeing the world through rose-colored glasses.
Let yourself trust in the stoically silent processes of this mysterious universe. Seeing everything from the center point of balance will lend itself to a broadening of your perspectives, as well as a taming of your opinions.
Meanwhile, this Libra Moon also serves as a counterweight to the Aries Sun. Libra and Aries share the same axis, and their energies are always seeking compromise with one another.
Aries, being the less diplomatic of the two signs, prefers to tackle whatever is in its way. Libra, on the other hand, prefers to talk, being more interested in the power of harmony than brute strength.
The impulsiveness of Aries along with the heady buzz of spring can make us feel drunk with a carefree abandon. Couple that with Libra’s propensity for connection, and you may be left punch-drunk. Libra, however, seeks equilibrium above all, allowing you to find room for moderation while also expressing a zeal for life.
When reading personal horoscopes, read your Sun sign for the “big picture” and your rising sign for “where the work is.”
