On April 12th, 2025, we have a Full Moon at 23° Libra. This is a healing and potentially breakthrough Full Moon where something long-buried may finally come to light.
The most important aspect the Full Moon makes is a tight opposition to Chiron in Aries. There’s an urgency about this Full Moon, and Chiron adds intensity and emotional charge: it’s healing – now or never.
Healing, of course, means different things to different people; it can be physical healing – like in the case of a health concern – but also emotional, psychological, or spiritual.
Perhaps there’s a health symptom you’ve ignored for a while – but it has been nagging you in the background, and now you decide to do something about it.
Perhaps there has been some emotional backlog – things left unspoken, a trauma or a difficult episode that hasn’t been fully processed.
Even more benign things, like not dealing with an unresolved conversation, or not opening an email because you fear it requires a difficult decision, can stir feelings of unease and emotional heaviness.
Or maybe there’s a psychological wound; mental health challenges – anxiety, obsession, spiraling thoughts – can often be traced back to an old experience or key piece of information that wasn’t fully understood or integrated at the time.
Since then, it’s been whirling in the background, keeping us stuck. When we finally put 2 and 2 together – when we understand the root cause of our discomfort – healing can spontaneously happen.
Some of the most insidious wounds, however, are spiritual. These are wounds we’re not consciously aware of, because in our modern, ‘science’-driven reality, spirituality is no longer a priority – and it’s harder to define. Symptoms of spiritual wounds include a lack of faith, a sense of meaninglessness, emotional numbness, lethargy, and loss of motivation.
We could argue – especially now, with Chiron transiting Aries – that most wounds, if we really trace them back to their source, are spiritual.
In fact, the words heal, whole, and even holy are all etymologically related – they all come from the same root (Proto-Germanic “hailjan”), and reflect the idea that health, wholeness, and sacredness are interconnected.
It’s this primal disconnection from the sacred that leaves us without a compass – and allows all kinds of other forms of dis-ease, confusion, or fragmentation to settle in.
We, astrology lovers, still remember – somewhere deep down – that there is a higher meaning to our experience, a cosmic order that binds everything together.
The Full Moon in Libra – tightly opposite Chiron, the Wounded Healer – comes with a unique opportunity to take an outside perspective and look at the wound for what it is.
Full Moon In Libra – The Opposition Aspect
Libra is known for being a discerning, objective sign; it’s the first sign (the 7th out of 12) to make the aspect of opposition.
In fact, we could say that the opposition aspect – with all that it entails psychologically, i.e. the ability to remove oneself from the subjective experience and view things from the outside (initially through the mechanism of projection) – is, fundamentally, a Libra aspect.
So when the spiritual wound (Sun conjunct Chiron in Aries) reaches a boiling point, the Moon in Libra, in an exact opposition, comes to give us that sense of perspective. To help us name it, see it clearly, and hold it for what it is.
For some of us, the insight will be spontaneous. Something will trigger – usually feelings of inadequacy, being left out, feeling like a misfit – which are classic Chiron modus operandi – and we will suddenly know what it is.
And if it’s not immediately obvious, look back at your life – especially to your childhood, when you had a sparkle in your eye, an untouchable fire.
When did you lose that spark? What made that flame go out, disconnect from the divine – from your inner sacredness?
Chiron’s role, as the bridge between Saturn (what’s visible and structured) and Uranus (what’s invisible and infinite), is exactly this: to reconnect us to the sacred and restore our sense of wholeness.
Full Moon in Libra – The Aspects
The aspects the Full Moon makes with other planets will give us the full picture of this lunation.
The Full Moon is not only tightly opposite Chiron (at 23° Aries), – but also square Mars (at 27° Cancer), and trine Jupiter (at 17° Gemini).
The Full Moon in Libra brings to light early wounds of abandonment (Chiron) and the walls and defense mechanisms we might have built as a form of self-protection (Mars in Cancer).
Perhaps in the process we’ve become the man or lady in the tower, guarding our hearts, sabotaging our relationships, rejecting others before they can reject us first.
Maybe we didn’t receive the help we needed when we were young, and as a result, we learned to no longer ask for it. Perhaps our innocent enthusiasm was met with a blank stare – so we learned to no longer share it… and in time, we stopped feeling it altogether.
Perhaps we felt too much, or were told we were too intense, too sensitive, too inadequate. Some of our interests or passions may have been deemed “weird” – hello again astrology lovers, we know how that feels, right?
But we are who we are – our true self is the sum of all these fragments, stories, and longings – whether they are socially acceptable or not.
And learning to love all the bits and pieces of ourselves is not about throwing our wants and needs in people’s faces without consideration (an extreme Aries approach) – but it’s also not about shutting down parts of ourselves to please others (the opposite approach, Libra).
It’s about finding that wholeness where these two parts of ourselves can coexist and collaborate.
Just like Chiron was half-man, half-horse, we too carry dualities that are meant to work together, not cancel each other out.
The Full Moon is trine Jupiter in Gemini, sending a message of hope. If we open up a little, if we take initiative in social settings, we can create real connections.
Jupiter in Gemini reminds us to have faith in others. People often feel closed off not because they’re cold – but because they, too, were once met with indifference, judgment, or rejection.
But what if we are the ones to smile first? To say the first hello? Perhaps we can do that without attachment to outcome, even if we get rejected.
Because when it comes from a genuine place of wholeness, rejection – if it happens – doesn’t have to hurt the same way. It doesn’t mean we’re wrong. It just means the connection – or the timing – wasn’t aligned.
Full Moon in Libra – Healing, Now Or Never
Healing – now or never. Why now or never? Because without a sense of pressure, without a sense of urgency, we will never act.
It’s said that Libra is indecisive, which is not entirely true. Libra is the scale, and by design, the scales need to move back and forth to find that equilibrium. But this doesn’t mean Libra cannot act; quite the contrary, Libra is a cardinal sign. It’s just that it acts when the ‘planets align,’ i.e. when the conditions for right action are met.
With the tight Chiron aspect, with the square to Mars – that time has come.
So let’s do it now. Let’s confront what needs to be confronted. On the other side of fear and resistance are relief, joy, a renewed sense of wholeness, and a sense of purpose and direction.
