Full Moon Eclipse in Libra
On Monday, March 25, 2024 we will experience a Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Libra. There are three astrological data elements to consider here. The energy of Libra, the energy of the Moon herself, and the special energy of the Moon in a lunar eclipse cycle.
Libra energy is infused with a sense of harmony, balance, and diplomacy. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Libra seeks to create equilibrium in all aspects of life. People born under this sign often have a deep appreciation for aesthetics, fairness, and social grace. They will often sacrifice their own needs just to make others happy.
Collectively and individually, the Moon delineates our emotions and what makes us feel secure. When the moon is in Libra it may compel us to be more adaptable, creative, and charming. However, this lunar placement can also bring out indecisiveness and a fear of conflict. When the moon is full, her energy is strong. It represents the culmination of the energetic seed planted that was planted when the New Moon was in Libra back in October of 2023. Think back to what you started at that time, particularly in terms of partnerships.
Now, let’s consider how the Lunar Eclipse will affect our lovely harmonious Full Moon in Libra. Consider that one thing an eclipse does is interrupt the light; either the solar light of the sun or the reflected lunar light of the moon. It’s a sort of exclamation point in the flow of events that says “Stop and pay attention to this!” Therefore, the eclipse may bring our attention to any weakness in the structure of the area of life being highlighted.
Since we are focused on Libran harmony and balance, the Lunar Eclipse in Libra is likely to upset our sense of balance and harmony in some way. We may experience the ending or a beginning of a relationship. Or the Full Moon energy may illuminate an aspect of our life that is not as in balance as we thought it was.
Where in particular you may experience your own ecliptic ‘full-super-moon-in-Libra’ energy will depend on your own natal chart. If you have astrology software, you can use it to see how this transit (the movement of this moon through your chart) will have an effect on you. Or, you can simply use your birth chart/natal chart (google free natal charts to create one on places like astro.com, alabe.com, or cafeastrology.com) to see where 05° 07´ Libra falls in your natal chart.
One way to use the special energy of this event is to write down your thoughts and feelings. I always like to light a candle and bring out special crystals for this work. You may want to focus on what you’d like to eliminate as well. Once the moon starts to wane from the condition of being full, that’s going to be a great energy for releasing and letting go. Or you can quite simply enjoy the beautiful moon. Wherever it may fall in your chart and however it may affect you, I wish you well – and happy moon-gazing!
