Fortnightly Starcast: Libra Moons & Cosmic Plot Twists
What’s in the stars for the first half of April 2025? A Libra Full Moon, Mars Meltdowns & the Rise of Our Inner Badassery
Hey friends,
Strap in, cos April is coming in hot, and not just because the Sun’s been firing off solar flares like it’s gunning for a Marvel origin story. We’ve got eclipses echoing, Mars brooding in a corner, and a full moon in Libra about to drop some cosmic tea on all of us.
The energy throughout March was A LOT, so if you've been crying at commercials or arguing with your toaster, you're not alone.
April will be even more fast-paced, fiery, and intense, so buckle up!
All the details are below in my fortnightly starcast.
Libra Full Moon (aka Relationship Reality Check)
We’re gearing up for the Full Moon in Libra on the 13th of April.
Libra, ruled by Venus, wants peace, beauty, and balance. But this moon? It's got an edge. This moon’s not handing out peace treaties; it’s brandishing receipts, shining a light on the parts of our lives where we’ve been over-giving, over-pleasing, or just straight-up pretending everything’s fine (cue nervous laughter).
This is your permission slip to:
Say no (without a guilt spiral)
Reclaim your inner harmony
Burn the old scripts. Write new ones, with better lighting, fewer plot twists, and a stronger lead (that’s you).
And the best part? Venus is exalted in Pisces right now, just starting to move forward after a retrograde nap, so that means your creative, loving, intuitive self is back online and ready to vibe high.
Mars is Moody (Again)
Mars has been loitering in Cancer like a sulky teen since last September, and he’s in a weird mood because he’s been “out of bounds”, literally operating outside the Sun’s normal path. He’s emotional, reactive, and possibly journaling in lowercase. Think: unfiltered rage meets a soap opera written by a conspiracy theorist.
Expect waves of protect-at-all-costs energy until he finally marches into Leo (and out of his feelings) around April 18.
Until then: hydrate, deep breathe, and maybe don’t pick fights with relatives or microwave ovens.
He’s calming down after April 7, but watch the emotional weather system on April 5. It might rain tears and Twitter rants.
Planetary Plot Twists
Mercury sobers up and goes direct on April 7. Venus follows on April 12, emerging from her retrograde like a sparkly sea witch with clarity and killer instincts.
That means - finally - some forward motion. If you’ve been in mental fog or emotional limbo, you’ll start to get clarity about what you think, how you feel, and what kind of reality you’re manifesting (intentionally or by accident).
Bonus: All planets are direct from April 12 until May 4! If you’ve been waiting to start something, that’s your green light. Use it! Burn the old vision board. Make a new one. With glitter. And snacks!
Cosmic Sparkles & Sudden Insights
We’ve got some buzzy sextiles and conjunctions lighting up the sky this month:
April 4: Saturn sextile Uranus = stability meets innovation. It’s giving “build the future but make it weird” vibes. Time to be the architect of your own avant-garde empire.
April 6: Sun sextile Jupiter = feel-good energy, blessings & luck.
April 7: Mercury conjunct North Node = destined ideas, collective downloads.
April 12: Venus + Saturn = commit to your spiritual practice (yes, even if it's just lighting a candle and pretending to meditate)
Rise of the Divine Feminine (No, Not a Tarot Card—Real Life)
This full moon on April 13 is drenched in divine feminine energy. Venus, Lilith, Eris - they're all showing up like, “You will stop shrinking yourself now, thanks”.
This isn’t self-care - it’s self-sovereignty.
It’s about reclaiming power, nurturing without martyrdom, and tapping into your wild, instinctive self that refuses to play small or be silenced.
How to Thrive This April
Once again, April is going to be a very fiery month, with lots of heightened solar and seismic activity. We’re likely to see some dramatic events play out on the world stage too, so here’s some tips for thriving in the coming weeks:
Let go of anything (or anyone) that drains you. Seriously.
Get still. Meditate. Journal. Stare into the void. Find your stillness. You’ll need it.
Embrace creativity - interpretive kitchen dance is encouraged.
Choose love over fear. Peace over reactivity.
Be the change you want to see in the world. And also maybe eat some chocolate.
There’s a lot of noise out there right now—both literal and metaphorical earthquakes. Solar flares, political dumpster fires, general mayhem. This isn’t the moment to get swept up in the chaos. Turn off the TV, put down your phone, and choose stillness.
The world may be spiralling, but you don’t have to spiral with it.
The second half of April looks even wilder than the first (and I’ll have an update for you all on that in two weeks time) but for now, I encourage you to ground yourself mentally & emotionally. Stock up on calm. Set your intentions.
And as always - stay steady, stay peaceful, stay kind.
With much love,
