Full Moon in Libra – A Time to Rebalance, Reconnect & Reflect
As the Full Moon rises in the airy sign of Libra, we are offered a sacred pause — a moment to realign with harmony, beauty, and the delicate balance between self and other. Libra, ruled by Venus, governs our relationships, our sense of justice, and the quiet, persistent desire for peace. Under this moon’s glow, we’re invited to re-centre our hearts and gently release what’s tipping our internal scales.
The Energy of Libra: Harmony, Beauty & Boundaries
Libra teaches us that balance isn’t about perfection — it’s about flow. The balance between rest and action, giving and receiving, speaking and listening, holding on and letting go. Under this Full Moon, you may feel called to assess your boundaries, particularly in relationships. Where are you over-extending? Where have you closed off?
This is the moon of the peacemaker, but also the truth-seeker. Libra encourages diplomacy and compassion, but not at the cost of self-abandonment. Now is the time to recalibrate — not just your relationships with others, but your relationship with your own needs and inner world.
Full Moon Ritual Ideas
If you’re drawn to work ceremonially with this moon, here are some simple but potent ways to honour the energy of Libra:
Moon Bath or Tea Ceremony
Brew a gentle, heart-centred tea blend using:
- Hawthorn (for emotional resilience and heart healing)
- Rose petals (for self-love, compassion, and opening the heart)
- Lemon balm or chamomile (for nervous system support and clarity)
Sip mindfully, under the moonlight if possible, while journaling or meditating on where you need more balance in your life. Tea recipe below.
Release + Reclaim Ritual
- Write down what you’re ready to let go of — habits, thought patterns, or relationships that no longer serve you.
- Burn the paper safely in a fireproof vessel, offering the release to the moon.
- Follow it by writing a reclaiming list: What are you calling back in? Peace? Sovereignty? Connection? Let that intention fill your space.
Mirror Work for Self-Love
Libra’s Venusian energy reminds us to tend to beauty — not just externally, but the radiance of our inner self. Spend a few quiet moments looking at yourself in a mirror, not to critique, but to witness. Speak kindly. Offer your reflection the love you so often give others.
Herbal Allies for the Libra Full Moon
These plants carry the vibration of Libra’s energy — gentle, heart-opening, and harmonizing:
- Hawthorn: Strengthens the heart (physically + emotionally), supports grief and helps establish healthy boundaries.
- Rose: Encourages love, compassion, and emotional openness.
- Violet: Helps with emotional suppression, and supports courage in gentle truth-telling.
- Linden: Soothes tension and invites emotional softness.
- Chamomile: Calms the nervous system and supports clarity through overwhelm.
You may wish to incorporate these into teas, baths, incense blends, or altar offerings.
