Full Moon in Libra | Svātī Nakshatra | Vedic Astrology Guidance
The Moon reaches fullness on April 24th at 00:28am BST in the sign of Libra and in the versatile nakshatra of Svātī, which offers independence, adaptability, and diplomacy — qualities reminiscent of Pavanputra Hanuman, the son of Vayu, God of Wind!
This full moon brings Hanuman Janmotsava, the birth day celebration of Sri Rama’s greatest bhakta (devotee), Hanumanji. Through utilising his strength and courage against the odds, he supported Sri Rama in winning the battle against Ravana. He also acted as a mediator between Sita Ma and Sri Rama during their separation, thus highlighting the nature of Svātī in Libra as a harmoniser of relationships.
Svātī is symbolised by a blade of grass or a shoot or sprout growing from the ground, resilient and independent. It bends to the wind without breaking, reflecting the untouchable warrior spirit within and again, reflecting Hanumanji’s unshatterable heart and soul against life’s adversities.
April’s full moon makes available this strength of spirit and courageous heart in the domain of relationship, particularly the ability to recognise our authentic needs and balancing that with being of service to others. Honour your individual journey and nourish your path while also reserving enough ‘prana’ or vital life force energy to authentically give to others. Know when boundaries are required and when your truth must be self-expressed.
Review your relationship commitments. Is your energy going to the right places? Where are you compromising at the expense of your personal expression and freedom? Move towards balancing Self with Other.
Rahu, the planetary lord of Svātī, may bring some confusion and distrust in the outcome of your action steps, along with shadowy exchanges from others; Mercury, after all, is just about to go direct, strengthening its unstable retrograde energy. Root out your inability to speak and stand up for your truth!
Opposite the Moon, Sun in Aries is fanning the flame of the atman, the individual soul essence. Emotional storms may erupt around this time, yet clarity and willpower are available for those who seek it.
You are the bridge between worlds.
