The Full Moon in Libra is a time when the Sun is in Aries and the Moon is in Libra (usually in April or May), creating a polarity between the individual self (Aries) and the need for harmony and balance in relationships (Libra). In 2023, the Full Moon in Libra will reach its peak of illumination on April 6 at 12:34 a.m. EST.
Spiritually, the Full Moon in Libra represents a time to focus on finding balance in our relationships and partnerships. It is a time to reflect on our communication and negotiation skills and seek ways to enhance these abilities. This Full Moon encourages us to find ways to compromise and collaborate with others, to find win-win solutions that benefit all parties involved.
The Full Moon in Libra also reminds us to be mindful of the need for fairness and justice in our interactions with others. We may be called to take action to correct imbalances or injustices in our relationships or in society as a whole.
Did you know that April’s Full Moon is known as the “Pink Moon“? While it won’t actually look pink in the sky, this traditional name comes from the pink phlox wildflowers that bloom in North America in the early spring.

Full Moon in Libra Communication Spell

Ingredients
1 white candle
1 yellow candle
Pend and paper
Red envelope
Rose essential oil or incense
Your cauldron or fireproof dish
How to cast the spell

- Start by lighting the rose essential oil or incense to fill the room with its fragrance. Then, light the white candle and place it to your right. Next, light the yellow candle and place it to your left.
- Now, take the paper and pen and write a small intention that focuses on improving your personal relationships and building better connections with others. Here’s an example:
“Full Moon, I call upon your powers to help me improve my personal relationships and build strong connections with others. I now invite quality relationships in my life.” - Focus on your intention and visualize yourself surrounded by harmonious, fulfilling relationships.
- Once you’ve written your intention, hold the paper as it absorbs the fragrance for a few moments. Then, put the paper inside the red envelope.
- To seal the envelope, drip a small amount of wax from each candle onto it. First, the white candle wax and then the yellow candle wax.
