On April 1st, we’ll (hopefully) see a gorgeous Full Moon at 12 degrees of the sign of Libra. And whenever we have a Libra Full Moon, I think of the “I vs. we” axis in my life. 

We’re currently in Aries season, which is about initiation, independent action, and forging bravely ahead in our lives. And knowing what actions will move you closer to your dreams requires that you get deeply in touch with your needs and desires. So Aries season is - rightfully so - a time when we focus on ourselves.  

Bringing our dreams to life requires self-determination and self-reliance, but I think we can all agree that it doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It often happens in community and via relationships. So this Libra Full Moon is a time to celebrate the good relationships in your life. The ones that support the direction you want to move in. The ones that make you feel seen & supported, but also autonomous, powerful, and free. 

Because the planet Jupiter magnifies the energy of this Full Moon, it can be an emotional time - particularly if there are imbalances in one of your relationships. Consider how the concept of “I vs. we” is showing up for you right now and whether you need to make an adjustment to find better balance on that axis! 

April 2nd - 5th

We’ve got a couple configurations happening in the early days of April, the first of which is a Venus-Pluto square. This is often a time of relational intensity. In relationships that are functioning well, it can lead to greater degrees of intimacy and trust. In relationships that are not functioning well, watch out for feelings of jealousy, insecurity, or a desire to control. Avoid manipulative tactics when dealing with others - being honest and straightforward might not feel great in the days around April 3rd, but it is the best way forward.  

Venus-Pluto combinations also have to do with money or the value of things. April 2nd and 3rd wouldn’t be my favorite days to make a large investment or go for any risky spending behavior.

But on April 4th and 5th, we get a nice connection between Mercury and Jupiter. This energy can buoy us, making our thoughts more optimistic and exciting than the first 3 days of the month. Mercury-Jupiter days are great ones for high-level brainstorming, putting together a pitch, traveling, learning something new, and seeing problems through fresh eyes. 

April 9th 

The planet Mars changes signs on April 9th. It leaves dreamy, languid Pisces and barrels into its home sign of Aries, where it will stay through May 17th. If you have yet to connect with the Fire Horse energy of 2026, I suspect this period is when it will click for you. 

The energy of Mars in Aries is full throttle. It encourages us to go for it, to ask for forgiveness rather than permission. It can bestow courage, grit, and a “don’t fuck with me” attitude. I absolutely love the way this energy can lift someone out of a rut and energize them to go after what they want. But this cosmic fire can also burn out of control. It can make people unruly, combative, too aggressive in the pursuit of their desires, and unfortunately for current affairs, more war-like. The bottom line is that there’s nothing small or subtle about this energy - it demands to be acknowledged in your life! If you know what house of your chart contains the sign of Aries, consider the corresponding area of life. That’s where I would recommend channeling a majority of your energy over the next 6 weeks.
