Full Moon in Libra

Spread the love
This beautiful full moon culminates on April 26th at 8:31 PM PST. 

Make sure you do get outside to see the moon tonight! 
It is termed a ‘Supermoon’ because the moon is a bit closer to the earth this month and from our eyes appears larger. Because of this, it is possible we will feel stronger than usual effects from the moon this month. 
Luckily for the most part it is an auspicious one.

This month’s full moon is in the sign of Libra and the lunar house of Swati.  This lunar constellation line up of the moon marks Hanuman Jayanti, the birthday of Lord Hanuman.  The mythology considers Hanuman the ultimate devotee, a symbol of both devotion and strength. The sign of Libra is connected to others, relationships, and partnerships of all types. 

The Moon, particularly the full moon, is also about social relationships, making this full moon very strong for connection. Directly opposite this is the sign of Aries, where sits Sun, Venus, and Mercury.  Sun is very strong in this sign of Aries, its sign of exaltation, where it tends to be proactive and goal-oriented. But both the Sun and the sign of Aries can also be a bit self-centered.  These three inner planets tend to stay close together and do well together, but having three planets in this self-oriented sign comes into strong contrast with this relational full moon. 

This combination of the very other are oriented full moon and this self-oriented group of planets in Aries makes themes of balancing self and others very key for this upcoming couple weeks. The lunar house of Swati, the nakshatra of this month’s full moon, can tend to be a bit scattered and the full moon energy can make us feel that way as well.  It is always a good idea to remember to stay balanced and centered when the energies are high, even if all that energy is essentially positive.  It can still be intense! 

Love and Blessings,

Mrinmoyee is in a long term love affair with Mother India, the land of her spiritual birth. She has lived primarily in India for the last 2 decades, and while she appreciates most all aspects of the culture, Vedic Astrology, Meditation, and Devotional pactices have been her primary focus.

Having grown up on the East coast of the United States, she deeply sees the need for the Vedic sciences in the modern Western life. She lived for 10 years in an Indian Buddhist spiritual community in North India where meditation and seva (service) were the foundations of her practice. Here she experienced the traditional teachings passed down through a lineage that is customary in India. As her interest in Vedic Astrology grew it took her to different regions and teachers of India and the US. She has studied Vedic Astrology for the last 10 years, and has given hundreds of readings to people all over the world in the last 5 years.

She offers introductory workshops on Vedic Astrology, and retreats in India. But the main focus of her work is personalized birth chart consultations. She has studied with both traditional and modern teachers, and gives a traditional analysis of the chart combined with a modern, applicable interpretation. While Vedic Astrology is Hindu in its origins, a person need not be following that path to benefit from her readings. Advice on career, relationships, finances, ideal living locations, and spirituality are just some of the areas of life that can be covered in a session.
