Tarotscopes For The Full Moon In Libra (4/12)
Welcome to the full moon in Libra, my loves!
This full moon is not only dynamic, potent, and full of potential, but it’s also a deeply significant portal of cathartic release and manifestation of new paths forward as it serves as the very first lunation on the Aries-Libra axis following the completion of the Aries-Libra eclipses that have been bringing about intense change and significant moments in regards to themes of the Aries-Libra axis since spring of 2023. The Aries-Libra axis is the axis of self and other, bringing our attention to themes of autonomy, independence, and personal motivations in juxtaposition with relationships and how we, as individuals, meet others to help foster connectivity.
Eclipses are dramatic cosmic events that act as harbingers of change, either opening up new opportunities or closing out old chapters and often doing so in unexpected ways that nudge us towards new chapters of life. Energetically, eclipses require us to surrender to the winds of fate and trust that we’re being pushed towards what is meant for us. As such, it’s encouraged to relinquish practices of manifestation and focusing on one’s own will in favor of placing our trust in the universe to bring us closer to our personal destiny. Now that we’ve finished this eclipse series, we’re being granted the opportunity to examine how it has impacted us and determine where we want to shape our own path from here.
Full moons are points within the lunar cycle that encourage us to exhale and energetically release everything we’ve been carrying that is not serving us, which means that this full moon is an opportunity to honor ourselves, the challenges we’ve faced, and the wisdom those challenges have imparted on us, while examining the parts of ourselves and our lives that are no longer serving our higher path. These tarotscopes are here to provide you with insight to guide you on the path forward based on how this full moon is uniquely impacting your sign. Don’t forget to read your sun and rising signs!
Aries
XX. Judgment
The Judgement card can be very intimidating, but when it shows up, know that its ultimate demand is for you to embrace the process of personal transformation and spiritual growth. This card appears when it is time for rebirth and a fresh start, but demands that we confront ourselves in order to step into that calling. This full moon heralds a significant moment in your own journey, Aries, especially after a recent solar eclipse in your sign. What fresh start is it time for you to embrace, and what reckoning do you need to confront in order to embrace that new beginning? This full moon, Aries, remember that the most important judgment you can come under scrutiny of is your own, and while you can be your own harshest critic sometimes, it is how you meet that judgment that helps determine the new pathways you step into.
Taurus
VIII. Strength
The strength card encourages us to look at how we define strength beyond physical force. It encourages us to look at the vulnerability and compassion it takes to embody true strength. This full moon in Libra, consider what it looks like to formulate your daily, mundane life around a sense of self-compassion. What might you find you actually have the strength for when you soften and embrace your own vulnerability, recognizing it as a unique source of strength itself? For you, Taurus, this full moon in Libra is here to remind you that having self-compassion is the key to confronting life’s challenges and bringing your own hopes and dreams alive in a way that will be lasting and enduring.
Gemini
VIII of Pentacles
The 8 of pentacles is all about mastery of craft. This card reminds us that dedication, consistency, commitment, and focus are the keys to mastering a skill or craft. This full moon is asking you to consider how your own passion, creativity, pleasure, and joy fit into that picture. Are you centering your own sense of personal fulfillment in the pursuits you dedicate yourself to? It’s hard to embrace that sense of determination when your pursuits are centered around pleasing others. This full moon in Libra, ask yourself what brings you joy and how you can commit yourself to cultivating that feeling through discipline and mastery.
Cancer
VIII of Cups
Cancer, if you knew that you could never truly miss out on what is meant for you, what would you walk away from right in this moment? The 8 of cups signifies leaving behind what’s familiar, despite the fact that the journey ahead might be arduous. While this card appears to signal a journey spurred by a sense of loss and lack of emotional fulfillment, the figure walking alongside a stream of water, illuminated by the path of the moon, is the encouragement to allow intuition to guide the way. This full moon in Libra is here to encourage you to do exactly that–to embrace and trust that your feet will carry you towards what is meant for you, and that anything left behind will either remain there waiting for you or perhaps hasn’t been providing you with the emotional fulfillment you deserve after all.
Leo
The Page of Cups
The page of cups represents a certain emotional naivety and sensitivity that often makes us feel vulnerable. This card encourages you to connect to your inner child, embrace any emotions that are coming forth without judging yourself, and trust your intuition. From a young age we’re often programmed to tuck away certain emotions, having early experiences that associate those emotions with shame or being told that our actions that stem from those emotions are negative. This full moon in Libra is here to nudge you towards releasing that sense of shame and allowing yourself to recognize that emotions are simply something that pass through you. Allowing yourself to experience those emotions without judgment holds the potential to strengthen your intuition and help facilitate healing your own inner child. In committing yourself to tending to your inner healing needs, you just may find inspiration pouring forth in your day to day life in new and unexpected ways.
Virgo
King of Wands
The King of Wands represents the embodiment of natural leadership and a clear-cut, sharp vision that inspires others. The King of Wands is motivated by enthusiasm and passion and holds intent, focus, and determination. This full moon in Libra is asking you to consider what limitations you’ve been placing on your own sense of self-worth and how they have been holding you from fully embracing the potential of your own aspirations and vision. Lean into your own creativity and authenticity, Virgo, and you just may find yourself intuitively embracing the steps forward in ways you didn’t expect.
Libra
II of Cups
The two of cups is a card of union, deep connection, and harmony, and though this card depicts two people coming together, it’s important to recognize that symbolically, this card also represents these themes on an individual, internal level. This full moon is a very important one for you, Libra, and it’s here to remind you that in order to show up to your own relationships in a way that cultivates the deep connection you desire, you must first cultivate a sense of harmony and union within yourself. Where have you been relying too heavily on others for healing when, in reality, the work must be done within yourself first? As the moon reaches fullness in your sign, Libra, ask yourself what you are ready to release that’s keeping you from feeling fulfilled on your own. In turn, you just may find an ability to show up more dependably and steadily in your relationships.
Scorpio
X of Cups
The 10 of cups is an auspicious card, signaling deep emotional fulfillment, joy, contentment, and a strong sense of belonging within home and family. However, it’s important to recognize that this isn’t where the journey of the cups suit begins, but rather, it took the experience of love, loss, harmony, and discord to get here. The kind of fulfillment that comes with the 10 of cups represents fulfillment that is deeply rooted in honoring and cherishing every step of the journey and holding gratitude for oneself for navigating it. This full moon in Libra is encouraging you to look around at your life and recognize where you already hold the potential to feel the kind of joy signified by this card, and release any attachment you have to certain hardships you’ve undergone. This full moon is also nudging you to look at how you can gently weave in joy and harmony into your day-to-day life, rather than looking at these feelings as a destination. In doing so, you just may find yourself ‘arriving there’ much more quickly and readily than you anticipated.
Sagittarius
The Fool
The Fool, the very first card of the major arcana’s journey, symbolizes spontaneity, a willingness to take risks, and embracing leaps of faith without knowing what awaits on the other side. So where have you been holding back on yourself, Sagittarius? Where have you been letting the rules of life dictate what you will and won’t do, and where have you closed off your own heart from letting authenticity and joy guide you towards your own greatest dreams and aspirations? Spontaneity and trusting yourself to meet the unknown is a part of your make-up, Sagittarius, so it’s time to remember that you have the ability to cultivate the wisdom you need along the way. This full moon in Libra is encouraging you to take a leap and know that wherever you end up from it, it will be the journey of a lifetime guided by self-discovery.
Capricorn
Queen of Wands
The Queen of Wands is a commanding presence, full of passion, enthusiasm, and drive. Much like you, Capricorn, she doesn’t shy away from challenges and innately holds the confidence that will carry her through them. The suit of wands aligns with the element of fire, representing passion, creativity, and pursuits of spirit, while the queen is a figure of nurturance and guardianship. For you, Capricorn, this full moon is asking you to look at where your own sense of spirit, passion, and drive need nurturing and tending to in order to transform glowing embers into a consistent, roaring fire. By tending to your own inner hearth-fire, you stand to fuel yourself in a way that will allow you to embrace any challenges that come your way.
Aquarius
IX of Pentacles
The 9 of pentacles often shows up to remind us to reap the rewards of our own efforts and honor our own successes. It’s time to enjoy the fruits of your own labor and give yourself credit for everything you’ve cultivated through your hard work. This card also serves as a reminder to invest your own material abundance into your passions and interests. What skills would you like to further cultivate? What knowledge and wisdom do you wish to pursue through study and discipline? This full moon in Libra, release the notion that you don’t have what it takes to do so, materially or internally, and commit yourself to investing what you have into the things that will provide you with pleasure and make you feel truly abundant.
Pisces
The Chariot
The Chariot is a card that represents control, determination, willpower, and forward movement. While determination and willpower can be powerful forces that propel us forward, the Chariot also reminds us that moving forward takes the skill of knowing how to steer and maneuver as we move along the road ahead. Pisces, where have you been relying on the force of sheer willpower, when what you really need is to trust yourself to steer? This full moon in Libra is asking you to release the notions of what you think it takes to reach your destination, and instead trust yourself, knowing that you have the skills and assets it takes.
