Full Moon in Libra, April 2022: Radical Healing of the Self

The Full Moon in Libra on April 16  is the culmination point of emotional and spiritual release triggered by the once-in-a-lifetime Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces, occurred just few days earlier on April 12 (Related article: Jupiter – Neptune Conjunction: Old Dream or New Reality?).

It’s absolutely clear that radical healing of our emotional wounds is taking the centre stage at this time. There is simply no way to avoid it, no matter how uncomfortable it may be to get exposed and vulnerable.

The Cosmic Weather Report

This Full Moon, ruled by Venus, is squaring off with the planet of death and rebirth Pluto.

Pluto rules over what is buried and hidden, power struggles, our deepest, darkest secrets.

All this grief, loss and disappointment we have experienced in the past couple of years needs to be purged and released.

This is a deeply personal process.

We all manage grief and loss in our own unique way.

Healing of the past wounds requires time.

The Lord of the underworld, Pluto is one of the biggest, most radical planetary influencers out there. Every time this planet is involved in an astrological event, it brings about the energy of total destruction, radical transformation and often painful, yet empowering rebirth.

Radical healing is called for.

Now is the perfect time for emotional purging and detox.

Be patient with yourself.

Sit with your feelings. Take time to process all of the uneasy emotions that are surfacing around the time of this Full Moon.

Try not to act impulsively when triggered.

Channel this challenging energy through some soul searching activities: read a thought-provoking book, watch a gripping movie, visit a trusted therapist.

It’s vital to handle these emotionally uneasy moments with care.

April is an actioned packed month. Make sure to use this powerful energy productively.

Don’t get overwhelmed by emerging fears of the unknown.

Now is the time for radical healing and getting back in the game, ready to win again! (Related article: Astrology of April 2022)

Saturn’s Helping Hand

Thankfully, the Lord of karma, Saturn, is offering a solid helping hand to this troubled Full Moon.

We are focused on healing our wounds so we can build a solid foundation for the future.

The world is going through some profound, irrevocable changes that most of us are still trying to process.

Saturn is the planet of boundaries and practical application. We are going to feel inspired to find the most practical, down-to-earth solutions to our problems.

We are setting personal boundaries to protect our identity.

These boundaries are necessary to solidify positive results of the healing we’ve been going through.

It’s vital to ensure that all this hard work we’ve been doing for so long is not in vain.

Mercury – Uranus Conjunction

Our cosmic messenger Mercury is coupled up with the planet of awakening, sudden changes, breakdowns and breakthroughs Uranus.

Saturn is the past and Uranus is the future.

It looks like we are asked to build and communicate a new structure that may be shocking to others.

However, it’s not being done out of sheer rebellion.

There is a logic behind it. It’s just too innovative to be accepted by the masses. 

Don’t be afraid of any breakthrough ideas you might be channelling around the time of this Full Moon or any negative feedback you may be getting from others.

It may be an unlikely solution to a problem.

But if you approach it in a practical, down-to-earth manner, it can most definitely be a total winner.


Before we dive in, be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon and Sun signs to get a full picture. When you read a horoscope for your Sun sign only, you only get a glimpse of what’s in store for your personal and professional life. Your Sun sign (related to the day you were born) might be an important component of your identity, but it’s only a small fraction of the whole story. Very often, your Ascendant (or Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope. 

The Moon sign represents your emotional and psychological imprint and is worth checking out as well, especially if your primary focus at present is on matters of the heart. (Related article: Big 3 in Your Birth Chart: Why It Is Crucial for Unlocking Your Destiny )
