Last night, in my journal, I wrote to the Moon:
Dear beautiful Moon, I wonder what you might like to share with us about the energy of the full Moon in Libra tomorrow night and what we can do to harness it?
This was her reply:
Libra’s scales rarely need to be full to enjoy the bounty of beautiful relating.
We can love the half full and the quarts.
We can love it all.
We can lay and look at the sky and see there the wondrous delights of ourselves looking back,
For we are the stars of long ago
Just as we present ourselves so.
We re-member and sew ourselves new robes
That we may relish our becoming.
Look to the skies for inspiration and you will find your cup runneth over;
It flows and goes to the heart,
Tickling the mind’s eye so
It can spy with glee at what it sees.
Free your mind.
Free, free, free your mind
Into relative beauty.
Thank you, beautiful Moon ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The Full Moon in Libra begins at 2:12 am UT time (3:12 am BST) on Thursday 2nd April 2026. This is the moment when the Moon is exactly opposite the Sun, with Earth in between in what’s known as geocentric syzygy (3 or more celestial objects lined up).
My sense of the Moon’s message is this is an opportunity for us to reinvent ourselves, whilst honouring the past. This might mean in this lifetime or beyond, particularly with the reference to us being the stars of long ago. There’s definitely a sense of recognition of who we were, and the constant renewal that is taking place.
I wasn’t sure of the spelling of ‘quarts’. I spelt it like that because of the previous reference to measurement but I wonder whether the Moon was referring to crystal quartz.
A quick search into links between the Moon and quartz crystal shows that many people believe quartz amplifies lunar energy (transformation, intuition, instinct). Given that I asked how to harness the energy, she has provided this specific answer.
As I re-read the message, I think she’s telling us (me specifically?) to connect more frequently with her. In her first sentence, she seems to be gently chiding when she says the scales don’t need to be full to enjoy relating. She seems to back this up with, “We can love the half full and the quarts.”
Of course, this could also refer to asymmetric equality. People (including more-than-human people) have different needs and so we can perhaps be more aware in our relationships of these differences and see how we can honour them.
Since the Full Moon is generally a time for letting go, I feel like this message is suggesting loving as a way of letting go. This sounds paradoxical, I know, but bear with me.
Carl Rogers, who founded person-centred therapy, recognised that feeling stuck is a way of holding onto a way of being that no longer serves, but feels kind of safe. Despite the feeling of safety, people often intensely dislike feeling stuck, and that strong emotion is what keeps us in the stuckness.
Total acceptance of feeling stuck creates the conditions for change to occur. I believe the Moon is suggesting this when she says, “We can love it all.” It is so hard to love what we don’t like. Often a question arises: how?
When we don’t know how to do something, setting an intention can help. With a heartfelt willingness to accept, even while not knowing how to, we can open ourselves to our intuition, instinct and emotions, and the letting go can naturally flow in its own time.
Perhaps we can harness the Full Moon in Libra’s energy by setting our intentions to fully accept, and even love, any parts of our lives in which we feel stuck. We can do this whilst holding some crystal quartz to amplify the power of the intention.
Big Full Moon love to you.
