Full moon April 2023

The Full Moon in Libra occurs on the date of April 6, 2023. Learn about the meaning of this event in astrology and read your horoscope by zodiac sign.

A person who adores you and spends time around you is paying you a compliment, but it is ultimately up to you to determine if the appreciation is mutual. My challenge to you is to get your goals in alignment so you can best idealize your dream lifestyle. Aquarius, you must be willing to be wrong. Are you willing to clean up your act? Every wellness fad will lead you right back to the same, obvious problem: When you’re ready to face the facts and admit to your shortcomings, then self-compassion has room to grow. Aries, there is a joy to your company and you are worth exclusivity. The more you life in your truth, the easier it is for the universe to bring forth a formidable match. The Full Moon in Libra may compel you to hold on to the sentimental drips and drops of your past by blocking, avoiding, and making excuses. If you have an excess in your life, this is the time for it to go down the drain. As the Moon is illuminated by the Sun in the sky, allow for equitable expectations to replace unfair lessons. That’s a poetic way of welcoming you to celebrate your flop era, take a joke, and step into the unknown! How does your comfort zone sabotage your ability to be fair to yourself and the world around you?
