Full Moon
Full Moon in Libra
A Full Moon in Libra is when the Moon in Libra opposes the Sun in Aries, bringing the tension between partnership and your own needs to a head.
Modern
The Full Moon is the bright, culminating point of the cycle, when something that has been building comes to light. In Libra, opposite the Sun in Aries, it lights up the balance between meeting someone halfway and honoring what you want for yourself. Feelings about fairness, peace, and the give and take of your relationships tend to surface now and ask to be addressed. It is a clarifying time to release a resentment you have been smoothing over and to even out a lopsided arrangement, as long as you do not abandon your own needs just to keep things calm.

The Venus-ruled Moon set against the Mars-ruled Sun marks the old tension between other and self coming to its peak, a time of culmination and, often, of release.
