Libra Full Moon: Releasing What No Longer Brings Balance
As the Libra Full Moon rises, she casts her silvery gaze upon the delicate dance between self and other, justice and peace, head and heart. This lunation invites us into the sacred art of recalibration. Where in your life has the pendulum swung too far in one direction? What have you held onto in the name of harmony, even when it cost you your truth?
Libra, the sign of the Scales, reminds us that balance is not about stillness, but rather dynamic, conscious alignment. It is a spiritual choreography, one that honours both your needs and the needs of others. And under this Full Moon, the Universe lovingly whispers: you can choose to release the version of you who betrayed yourself for the sake of keeping the peace.
Astrology Energy Theme: The Mirror Wound
This Libra Full Moon does not arrive quietly, it rises in direct opposition to Chiron in Aries, a cosmic setup that brings friction, revelation, and profound potential for healing.
While Libra craves harmony, Chiron in Aries confronts us with the raw wound of self, our unhealed stories around abandonment, rejection, or being “too much” or “not enough.” This opposition acts like a mirror, revealing where we have overextended ourselves to be accepted, silenced our truth for peace, or projected our unmet needs onto others.
When the Moon opposes Chiron, emotional vulnerability heightens, but so does the opportunity for deep soul integration. The external tensions you experience now, particularly in relationships, may be sacred messengers of your inner imbalance.
This lunation asks:
Are you abandoning yourself to keep others comfortable?
Have you mistaken people pleasing for peace?
Are your partnerships truly reciprocal, or do they simply avoid conflict?
The Chiron effect may feel tender, but it is ultimately liberating. Healing comes not from bypassing the friction, but from witnessing yourself honestly within it.
Ritual: Burn to Release and Restore Balance
This simple but powerful ritual helps you honour what has outlived its purpose and energetically realign.
You will need:
A candle, matches or some other form of impement to light your paper
A safe burning bowl or fireproof container
Paper and pen
Optional: rose or sandalwood incense, music, or calming oils
Step 1: Set the Space
Create a calm atmosphere. Light your candle and, if you wish, some incense. Breathe deeply and call in your Higher Self or spirit team for support and clarity.
Step 2: Reflect
On your paper, write down what you are ready to release. Focus on anything that disrupts your peace or keeps you from embodying your full truth. These might be:
People pleasing patterns
Guilt around putting yourself first
Fear of being judged when you speak your truth
Old wounds surfacing in your relationships
Step 3: Burn
With presence, read your list aloud. As you do, feel the emotional charge begin to lift. Then, safely burn the paper in your bowl. Watch the flames transform your words into smoke, released into the ether, no longer yours to carry.
Step 4: Rebalance
Place one hand on your heart, one on your solar plexus. Say the affirmation below aloud, or offer your own prayer for inner peace and aligned power.
