Stand Up and be Counted….
This week Mars – the pressure valve for the Cardinal Libra Full Moon-is definitely the Ringmaster. With the warrior planet clashing with take-no-prisoners Pluto from now until late May, it’s time to stand up for or instigate something that really matters to you that’s been on the back burner for a while.
Mercury and Venus station Direct on April 7 and 12, underlining the same message.
April 13 Libra Full Moon
This dynamic cardinal Full Moon is square Mars in emotional Cancer and opposite the Sun in Aries conjunct both wounded Chiron and Disruptor Eris. Look at the Full Moon chart to see Mars’ aspects to just about every planet! This is a highly sensitive, critical and volatile time for everyone, so tread carefully through the minefield.

Chandra Symbol Full Moon LIBRA 23: A tremendous boulder hovering over the ocean.
“Collective cycles are everything here. You are caught between worlds, part of many, belonging to none. Changes are imminent. The air is buzzing with future currents. No rest, no quiet, no continuity. You verge on astounding things; held poised at the edge. You feel propelled by destiny to obsess upon where we all are now, where we came from, and especially, where we are going. Staying tuned for further developments. And knowing they’re on the way any moment now, “I can feel it rising up.”

Aries Weekly Forecast
Keep reminding yourself that the recent eclipse in Aries is going to keep delivering unexpected change until September, some of them due to other people’s shifting circumstances. Neptune is now in your own sign adding a touch of creativity and spirituality whilst removing your rose- tinted lenses and illusions. Mars in Cancer may be moving you to a new location or at least moving the furniture. Be careful with your words around April 12th’s Full Moon in Libra and listen more than you speak.
Taurus Weekly Forecast
Now that Neptune has left your angle of alliances and networks for good-apart from a brief return to late Pisces in the Autumn- you’ll gradually notice a changing of the guard in your friendships. As Mercury and Venus turn forward this week, make plans to go out and about to meet new likeminded people. That said, avoid the Full Moon on April 12th when just about everyone will be extra sensitive. Stay at home and chill out.
Gemini Weekly Forecast
As both Venus and your own planet Mercury change direction around a rather harsh Full Moon this week, tread carefully. If someone has a meltdown or a soap opera or psychodrama starts, step right away and let them get on with it. Then re-consider some of your current alliances. Why waste your precious time on those who drain your spirits and take without giving back?
Cancer Weekly Forecast
You are on the brink of an entirely new career chapter, as Neptune begins to activate the pinnacle of your chart until 2039 -the same part of your life as the recent eclipse. Watch for a hint of new possibilities as doors open which were closed to you up to now. The Full Moon underlines this theme of a new vocation as Venus turns direct and the Sun makes a conjunction to Chiron-possibly something connected with healing.
Leo Weekly Forecast
With gas giant Neptune now in your 9th House of far horizons, expect to start feeling the urge to broaden your mind, to travel, to teach and to study. This week’s Full Moon underlines the same theme but is also a reminder to mend any broken relationships with siblings or neighbours. There may be some difficult home truths aired -don’t react, just listen.
Virgo Weekly Forecast
Now that Neptune has left your relationship angle taking your rose-tinted lenses with him, clarity about the people in your life begins to return. With Venus and your own planet Mercury turning forward in this part of the sky, it’s a perfect time to renew contact with certain old friends or former partners. For those of you ready to take a relationship to another level, wait until Venus turns direct on April 13th before you make a commitment.
Libra Weekly Forecast
For you as a Venus ruled sign, it’s all about your partnerships- both personal and transactional. Last week’s eclipse in Aries set off ripples of unexpected change that will continue until September, just as Neptune entered your opposite sign until 2039! Neptune touches everything with glamour, mysticism, imagination and illusion so any new love affairs may prove both romantic and long lasting. On April 12/13th, Venus turns forward right on your annual Full Moon in Libra-spread the love.
Scorpio Weekly Forecast
Around the Full Moon on April 13th be extra careful to avoid any arguments, soap operas or quarrels, as just about everyone will be edgy and sensitive. Sometimes, your words can have a sting in their tail without you realising. Instead, just do your own thing and make the most of Venus and Mercury moving forward to go on an artist’s date or two for inspiration.
Sagittarius Weekly Forecast
If you’ve been busy at home renovating or considering relocating, make final adjustments to your plans this week as Mercury and Venus turn forward, but don’t commit to any really big expenditure until the after April 13th. At the Full Moon, watch out for arguments or even full-scale meltdowns in your work teams or friendships and be ready for a changing of the guard.
Capricorn Weekly Forecast
The Full Moon on 13 April is at the very pinnacle of your chart, putting your career and reputation under the spotlight. If you are ambitious or want to make a shift in direction, this is an opening to start things moving.

Aquarius Weekly Forecast
It’s a buzzy intense week-just how you like it. With the recent eclipse and now Neptune in Aries, your mind is in overdrive, trying to pin down lightbulb insights and come up with new ideas. At the Full Moon on April 13th, change your usual information sources, go to an exhibition or enrol in a new programme of study in a field that has always intrigued you-experiment with whatever takes you out of your mental comfort zone.
Pisces Weekly Forecast
As your own planet Neptune leaves your sign after 14 years, an entirely new chapter is opening up for you.
