LIBRA FULL MOON
Cycles concluded. Soul Contract Activations.
2025 FULL MOONS // April 12th through April 14th, 2025
Greetings friends,
This full moon is the grand finale of some pretty big cycles, but it also marks a renewal—a journey completed and the reward that comes at the end. We’re concluding Venus retrograde with this full moon, as she turns direct just a couple of hours after this full moon’s exact illumination, but due to this full moon happening in Libra, the sister to Aries, we may also feel like the events of eclipse season, and on a grander scale, the Aries-Libra nodal cycle, are packaged up a bit more neatly through this full moon. Mars moves back into Leo in just five days as well, meaning that this full moon marks the completion of a pretty significant period of reflection, pause, and reconfiguration, but it also notes the turning point where we’ll be able to start building momentum to pursue our ambitions ahead of us without carrying any dead weight.
This moon, simply put, is a great time to do our “spring cleaning,” but not just in our living spaces. This moon is a space to audit our lives and truthfully assess how each piece is operating in our experiences so that we can identify whether they’re an asset or a detriment to our expansion and growth.
On a personal note, this full moon is one that I’ve been looking forward to for quite some time; we have been moving through retrograde after retrograde these past five months, and April is the month where things start to fall back into place and inspiration, motivation, and clarity are easier to come by. As we move through the rest of April, we’ll likely feel our energy levels rising and stabilizing; many of us, especially those with fire and air Mars, may find that we are accomplishing far more in a couple of weeks than we’ve been able to get done in the past few months. The summertime is going to be much faster-paced, as we’ll have some pretty significant shifts from the outer and social planets, meaning that spring is for us to organize ourselves for the accelerated pace and cleanse our lives from anything that might clutter our paths.
HERE’S THE BIG PICTURE
This full moon happens in Libra alongside some pretty fascinating conjunctions; we will have Chiron in cazimi with the sun, which will have the sun essentially projecting our wounds around identity and autonomy onto the moon for release. This may involve some pretty significant contractual closures; perhaps we will find ourselves wrapping up some cyclic patterns with partners that we’ve been going back and forth with for several months, or perhaps we’ll be acknowledging a pattern that we have repeated with different partners. We’ll also have Venus, the north node, and Saturn, conjoined together in Pisces, making this a highly spiritual time; contracts are being fulfilled, and our recognition of the patterns repeating is what allows them to finally collapse and clear space for higher vibrational structures to form around us.
This Venus retrograde has been directing us back to ourselves over and over again, intending to have us look beyond the vessels that hold our love and acknowledge that they’re just that: vessels. They are not what grants us access to love; they hold the love we exude. This may refer to romantic experiences but also to money or material security—you can interchange “love” and “abundance,” as they exist on the same frequency. Because this full moon concludes this Venus retrograde and Venus is the ruler of Libra, we may find ourselves initiating some very necessary endings and setting boundaries with others in ways that prioritize our well-being and our maintaining the potency of our own vibrations. This full moon points out how every agreement you make, relationship you maintain, and belief you hold has a direct impact on how you actualize your potential, approach opportunity, and navigate your life, even if you may not think that they influence you enough to change you.
We’re being reminded that the connections we surround ourselves with create the environment we emotionally and energetically live in; the people, things, ideas, beliefs, habits, and rituals we surround ourselves with make up the proverbial soil that we are planted in. This full moon asks us to assess how that soil is nourishing us, as upon examination, we may realize that what was once full of rich nutrients is now bland and stale and is perhaps taking more from us than it is giving. What or who you “marry” yourself to, whether that is a social group, identity, ideology, or person, will either hold you back from your fullest potential or will be the accelerator that pushes you to even greater heights than you’d be able to reach on your own. Through this moon, we may be feeling more honest with ourselves about what is draining us and holding us back, and we’re likely making the adjustments to reflect whatever conclusions we come to.
Your time and energy are your most valuable resources, and with so much concentration around the north node, especially from a planet like Saturn, and also considering that those placements are in Pisces, the final sign, this is symbolic of us being guided to restrict our generosity and consolidate our resources, both material and non-material, so that we can direct them into spaces where we know they will be revered and put to good use. This is not encouraging us to be cold to others or apathetic, but it is advising us to re-evaluate how we’ve perhaps overextended ourselves, which has perhaps led to us becoming so scattered that we’re no longer in alignment with what gives us purpose and is destined for us.
This full moon may have us shedding tangible commitments like jobs or relationships, or perhaps it will have us abandoning a social identity that we’ve constructed to remain compatible with a certain group of people. However, this may also have us letting go of socially conditioned ideologies or internalized “agreements” that we’ve been living by without being fully aware of our doing so. We’re being asked to honor the fact that we have the liberty to make changes to our lives at any moment to make our experiences feel more supportive of who we wish to become and what we want to accomplish; we’re being encouraged to remember that before our energy is ours first and that others are never entitled to it. We may find that there are literal or proverbial contracts that have reached their end, and we’re being asked to part with them under this energy so that we can move on to experiences that will help us continue to discover the capacity of our potential.
If there are conclusions happening in your life right now, consider how you can celebrate the role that they’ve played in your life, but also recognize how your holding onto them may prevent you from fully realizing your soul’s truth and inner calling. This may be a time in which we are recognizing that, in order to keep certain things or people in our lives, we would have to lower our vibration in order to match the frequency that they’re on, and while we may love and appreciate them, holding ourselves in those lower vibrations is simply a sacrifice we cannot make. If things are falling away, send them off with love, but also consider how you can embrace the lightness that comes with your clearing away anything that is no longer aligned with you. And considering Pisces is the sign of secret beginnings—beginnings that are hidden in what we might perceive as endings—know that the conclusions you’re experiencing right now may be the key that opens the door you’ve been trying to get open for the past few months.
Happy full moon, loves.
xx, Aspen

UPCOMING CLASSES
Get your seat at one of my upcoming classes!
LIFE HACK: CHANGE YOUR REALITY FROM THE INSIDE OUT - APRIL 17TH
Manifestation has become such a buzzword nowadays, but oftentimes the conversations that are hosted around it and the practices that are offered to accompany these conversations are hollow and lacking structural integrity, ultimately only offering you 5% of the full picture. We do the practice, say the affirmations, and visualize the outcome, but the results seem to remain elusively in the future. Why?
This approach to manifestation is like believing that the wallpaper is what stabilizes the house—when we are focusing so strongly on the external matter, we set ourselves up for failure. Every house must have a strong foundation to last, and that is where energetic recomposition comes into play.
This class is for those who are ready to take charge of their lived experience and are willing to do the work that is required to honor the soul's instructions. If you are ready for real change, this class is for you. It's not a quick fix. This is not a promise that life will drastically shift the instant our gathering concludes. But the information and insights shared in this space will be the launch pad for you to experience life differently. It will change the way you approach today, tomorrow, and the future as a whole. This class is meant to be the singular shift that creates tremendous change—the pebble whose initial impact is small but ripples throughout the entire body of water.
During this class, you will:
Learn about how the energetic mechanics of the universe function to construct and stabilize your reality.
Discover what sustains a reality's structure and how to stop falling back into the same pattern, frequency, and cycle.
Receive tools to support your integration of the teachings shared in this class to help you design your reality sustainably.
Understand how Jupiter and Saturn function as tools for reality construction, both natally and in transit.
ABUNDANCE UPGRADE: JUPITER IN CANCER - MAY 3RD
Jupiter is popularly deemed the planet of blessings, good fortune, and luck, but how does that translate into our lived experience? And how do you work with Jupiter to actually get all the benefits? We often hear about the gifts of Jupiter but are seldom told what is required from us to actually acquire and maintain them. In this class, I will share with you everything you need to know to work with Jupiter to maximize your blessings over the next year.
Jupiter significantly reflects how the "bigness" of our lives is strongly connected to how big our mindsets can be, and therefore, working with Jupiter to become a more abundant person—whether that is financially, romantically, emotionally, professionally, or in some other way—is a commitment to changing your mindset just as much as it is a commitment to changing your actions. When Jupiter transits a new sign, it not only provides us with inside information on how to align ourselves with more abundant vibrations, but it also shows us how to maintain abundance once we've acquired it.
Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, meaning that in the next twelve-month period beginning in June 2025, Jupiter's power will be enhanced and will teach us more intentionally about manifestation, as it is also ruling over the north node, as the north node is currently in Pisces.
In this class, you will:
Learn about Jupiter and how it functions in both the natal chart and in transit.
Find out what Jupiter in Cancer means and how to leverage its energy to your benefit.
Understand Jupiter's role in the energetic mechanics of the universe and how to utilize Jupiter in Cancer to upgrade your frequency to manifest more efficiently.
Discover how Jupiter in Cancer will influence relationships, finances, spirituality, entrepreneurship, and healing.
Learn how to work with the most prominent Jupiter activations over the next year (including the Jupiter-Saturn Square, Jupiter-Venus conjunction, Jupiter Cazimi/Cancer New Moon, and more!).

ARIES, this full moon may involve you releasing yourself from a role in relationships that you’ve felt obligated to fulfill; you may be realizing through this full moon that it’s not your job to be everything that others may expect from you, which may mean that there are some connections that are organically dissolving as you pursue your authentic path with more devotion. You’re reminded that honoring your truth and allowing everything else to fall into place (however it falls)—and likewise, honoring others’ truth as it resonates authentically with them—is what contributes to the most fulfilling outcome for everyone involved. This may be concluding some conflicts that have been present within your home or close relationships for the past few months; it’s important that you look at things truthfully rather than trying to contort yourself to fit into a situation that no longer resonates with you.
TAURUS, this full moon encourages you to release attachment from different rituals or daily practices that have perhaps become so familiar that you’ve become “married” to them—your devotion to them may be starting to have a detrimental impact on your productivity, workflows, or wellness. This may also symbolize your closest connections going through some type of rebirth because of your willingness to face your inner shadows and practice more self-awareness. Perhaps you are reconfiguring the structure of your relationships and are rebuilding them upon principles and ideologies that feel more authentic to you. You may also be asked through this moon to be more realistic about what you can physically accomplish, and you may have to release some responsibilities from your plate so that you can invest in those that are most important to you.
GEMINI, this full moon may entail you releasing the need to look so put together and polished at all times. You may find that you’ve internalized many societally expected personality traits or social mannerisms that have started to feel inauthentic to you, which may mean that you will be stepping away from a social community in order to honor your true self. This may open you up to criticism from others, but you’re encouraged to remain devoted to your values and belief systems, even if your truth is met with misunderstanding. This full moon encourages you to liberate yourself from playing the character that you’re expected to play so that you can embrace your inner truth. This may involve you having to step away from professional obligations or work environments, but you’ll likely feel refreshed and may even find a new community budding from any conclusions you initiate.
CANCER, this full moon may have you taking a leap away from something that has felt safe and comfortable; you may be leaving behind a home—either literally or metaphorically—in order to honor a dream or ambition that you feel you are meant to experience. This could look like you taking a step away from a professional space that no longer resonates with you, or perhaps you’ll find yourself committing to a new professional or educational role (either as a student or educator), which will challenge you to adopt new skills and trust your instincts with more devotion. There may be foundational beliefs that you’ve operated from that don’t feel authentic to you, but perhaps you’ve continued to believe them because those closest to you resonate with these ideologies. This full moon reminds you that actualizing our biggest ambitions often requires brave leaps of faith and that continuing to push the leap off for tomorrow will perpetually place your ambitions on the horizon but never put them within grasp.
LEO, this full moon asks you to release the need to be understood by those around you, as you may be making some decisions that your peers and family do not entirely approve of. This full moon also invites you to examine any inherited belief systems that have continued to influence the way that you navigate your life and encourages you to purge any mentalities that have restricted you from taking action toward things that feel inspiring and authentically aligned with you. You could be planning on traveling soon, meaning that this moon may also symbolize you releasing yourself from obligations in your everyday lifestyle that tether you to where you currently live. Traveling may make you realize that you want a change of scenery for longer than the length of a vacation. Consider what daily practices are cluttering your mind and life versus which are adding inspiration to them.
VIRGO, this full moon may have you releasing yourself from the prison of social conformity; perhaps you’ve found that you’ve stayed at jobs, continued to hold narratives about yourself, and have remained devoted to certain morals or ethical principles not because they feel aligned with you, but because they are what gets you praise and approval from your peers and social environments. This full moon may be inviting you to drop the “nice” front and embrace more of your raw nature, which may mean that you will have to allow yourself to be seen in a vulnerable state by others (including the parts of yourself that you may reject or try to hide). This may be what allows for more genuine connections to form. Fated conclusions are being reached in relationships at this point in time—whether this results in the connection being reaffirmed and restabilized in truth or it ending due to misalignment, trust that this is ultimately to help you align with the highest vibration of love and authenticity, especially in your relationships with others.
LIBRA, this full moon may involve you reaching a celebratory point in your self-development journey; you may find yourself shedding an old identity that operated through conformity and social expectations, as you are likely migrating into a sense of self that feels much more self-defined and authentic. Perhaps you are engaging in important conversations with close friends or a partner about how to maintain your individuality within your connection with them. Some of these conversations may conclude with the realization that you cannot meet one another’s needs without abandoning yourselves, which may mean that you will be stepping away from connections that cannot reach compromise. This full moon may symbolize you choosing yourself and making a commitment to making your relationship with yourself your first priority and relationships with others secondary.
SCORPIO, this full moon may entail you coming to terms with something that has been hidden from you for quite some time; perhaps this will be a wounded relationship pattern that has covertly operated through you for quite some time. You may be clearing away past memories that have continued to haunt you and sabotage your ability to connect with others, but you’ll be urged to take accountability for your role in their perpetuation. This full moon invites you to empathize with yourself without excusing your continuation of wounded relationship patterns and your actions in connections that have harmed both you and others. This full moon likely symbolizes you learning from your experiences, reflecting on either past or recent encounters in relationships with others, and making assessments about how you’d like to carry yourself moving forward. This full moon will likely feel quite healing, but it asks you to navigate the material plane with authority and accountability while you are moving through these healing processes.
SAGITTARIUS, this full moon could involve you stepping away from a social group or community, or perhaps re-evaluating your ambitions for the future. You may be auditing the things that you have been pursuing professionally, looking at them with a more critical eye and asking yourself, “Am I pursuing this because I want it, or is this what I’ve been told I should want?” This may also apply to your social presence in both online spaces and in-person environments; perhaps you’ll be releasing a character that you’ve adopted to show up in these areas, as you might be realizing how inauthentic it feels to maintain. You may have to embrace more vulnerability at this time, as releasing the socially influenced personality may demand you to operate through your authentic self more boldly. You’re encouraged to release the need to be liked so that you can tap into a more you version of yourself; always trying to be what others may expect from you will only leave you exhausted.
CAPRICORN, this full moon may symbolize a cycle concluded in relationships that has been teaching you about being more vulnerable and transparent with others so that you can receive the nurturing and care that you may (secretly) crave. This full moon also invites you to let go of social status when it comes to professional ventures; perhaps you’re considering a change in your work or a shift in priorities for the future but are concerned about how it may make you look. This full moon asks you to release yourself from internalized social narratives, as you may be realizing that your continuing to abide by them is preventing you from making changes that will ultimately benefit your life and allow you to experience more balance and fulfillment. This may also involve you making a decision that could potentially be met with criticism or judgment from parents or loved ones, but you’re advised to remain devoted to what you need, even if it is not applauded. Remember, it’s your life.
AQUARIUS, this full moon likely entails you releasing yourself from belief systems that you’ve felt tethered to because of their popularity among your closest connections; perhaps you’ve been realizing different aspects of yourself that you’ve kept hidden to be compatible with different social groups and are revealing a more authentic version of yourself. This may also look like you opening yourself to different professional avenues; perhaps you’re considering changing your business strategy or are contemplating pivoting into a more fulfilling direction but are afraid of losing progress you’ve already made. This full moon encourages you to let yourself become something new, whether that is in a professional sense or some other direction. While you may be facing fears about the fallout that may result in changing your current work habits and rituals, this may symbolize you growing restless in your current practices and needing change. You may receive financial blessings for following your intuition into new directions.
PISCES, this full moon may involve you letting go of fears revolving around social acceptance; perhaps you’re understanding how you’ve maintained a reality loop by continuing to play into what you think other people want you to be. This continuation may be holding you in unfulfilling spaces in relationships, but it may also ripple out into your work and professional progress. You may be growing tired of playing it safe in different aspects of your life and are feeling motivated by this moon to break out of the pattern and embrace a bit more risk in order to make more fulfilling opportunities available to you. This full moon reminds you that there will always be someone who has something negative to say about your decisions, regardless of what you choose, and because of this, it encourages you to re-evaluate what you’re doing at present so that you can make the necessary adjustments to get you back on track with what excites and inspires you.
