Journaling with the Moon: Full Moon in Libra

A Soul Journaling Ritual for the Full Moon in Libra

Welcome, lovely souls! Come on in and have a seat in our Soul Journaling Circle for this Full Moon in Libra. I’m so honored to have you here.

Please feel free to take in all or part of this Soul Journaling Ritual. Even if all you do is read the post, your presence and intentions are acknowledged and celebrated.

Below you will find:

• A summary of the big themes of this Full Moon

• A message for the Full Moon

• A Soul Journaling Ritual that includes a visualization and activation, followed by a direct question for the Soul

The Journaling with the Moon series is intended to help us honor the Tarot Card of 2025, the Hermit, and the secondary card of the year, the Moon, as well as the energies behind the current moon phase. These Soul Journaling Rituals are designed to bring you into deep self-reflection, connecting you with your Soul so you can channel its wisdom.

Full Moon in Libra Themes

This Full Moon in Libra arrives on April 12 at 5:22 PM PT. And just as it was for us at the New Moon, we have A LOT happening in the cosmos right now (including the end of Venus’ retrograde journey). I know I can’t even begin to scratch the surface in one quick post! But I have summarized below what stood out to me as the biggest themes.

Here’s what could come up for you during this Full Moon in Libra:

• A need to create greater balance in your life, specifically when it comes to relationships. You may feel called to examine or address an imbalance in a major relationship, perhaps bringing up an unresolved issue for closure and healing. Or you might want to explore whether an imbalance generally exists in your relationships (romantic, platonic, and/or professional). This could be an imbalance in effort/care or between give and take. Are there certain relationships that tend to be unfulfilling or energy-draining for you? If so, you may feel yourself called to correct this.

• The desire to break and release old patterns or stories that keep playing out in your relationships. Perhaps you have a tendency to people please or not speak up when you want or need something. Maybe you regularly ignore certain red flags. Take some time to acknowledge and forgive yourself for these patterns so you can move forward.

• Some friction between self and partnership. Along the lines of the above, you might feel called to examine your tendencies in relationships. When are you too focused on self or too focused on others? And with any relationships where there is some friction present, address it mindfully and with compassion.

• Old wounds that need addressing or healing. You may have had some feelings from past experiences resurface recently. Now is a good time to acknowledge those and do some releasing. Recognize how far you’ve come and how these wounds have helped shape who you are—for the better. (These wounds could also be related to a relationship or partnership that was imbalanced.)

If you find a lot is coming up for you for releasing this Full Moon, remember to be kind and forgiving to yourself as well as any others involved. Be gentle with all matters of the heart, and be proud of how these experiences are shaping you into an even stronger, more beautiful version of yourself.

Your Soul Journaling Ritual for this Full Moon

Before sitting down to journal, set up a nice, cozy space. In addition to your favorite journaling materials, you could light a candle, set up some essential oils to diffuse, bring out your favorite crystals, and/or display the Tarot cards you might want to work with for this Full Moon. You could also bring out an Oracle deck if you want extra insight.

If you choose to bring out your Tarot cards, here’s what I suggest having nearby or on your altar this full moon:

• The Hermit (The card of 2025, which reminds us of the importance of going within and letting our inner wisdom guide us.)

• The Moon (The secondary card of 2025, which reminds us of the importance of deep, honest reflection so we can see ourselves clearly.)

• The Emperor (The card associated with Aries, which reminds us of the qualities of a strong, secure leader. I did a deep dive into Aries and the Emperor at the start of Aries season, which you can read here.)

• Justice (The card associated with Libra, which reminds us of the importance of balance, equality, and order within our own lives and the world around us.)

• Your personal Tarot card(s) of the year (If you don’t know what it is yet, discover it here.)

Your message from the Hermit, the Moon, the Emperor, and Justice (as seen in the image above) is:

Solid relationships are balanced, harmonious ones.

Your inner wisdom knows when harmony is present. It knows how to restore balance.

Trust it to lead and show you the truth.

Full Moon Soul Activation & Soul Journaling Prompt

Once you’ve gathered the materials you’d like, settle in to do the meditation/activation and Soul Journaling Prompt for the Full Moon. The prompt is written as a direct question to your Soul, and this is the prompt we use every Full Moon.

After I lead you through the visualization and prompt in the audio track above, I leave three minutes of music playing to give you some space to journal. The full text of this practice is also written out below in case you choose to do this practice independently.

If you have time for a longer ritual, at the end of this post are a few extra journaling prompts centered on the themes of this Libra Full Moon.

After taking a couple deep breaths to settle, follow the visualization below, and say silently to yourself or aloud the statements in italics.

Ground yourself.

Imagine there are roots growing from beneath you, traveling deep down and connecting you to the center of the Earth.

Thank you, Mother Earth, and the ancestors of this land on which I sit, for protecting and guiding me today. Thank you for helping me hear the wisdom of my Soul.

Connect to the Universe/Divine

Imagine now that there is a beautiful rose gold light flowing down like a waterfall from the sky/clouds/Universe (choose what resonates) above you. Perhaps the light is coming directly from the Moon. Choose the source that is speaking to you most today.

Thank you, Spirit Team, for protecting and guiding me today. Thank you for helping me hear the wisdom of my Soul.

 Thank you, Moon, for shining your light and reflecting back what I need to know.

The light illuminates the crown of your head, activating your inner wisdom and connecting you to your Higher Self.

The light then travels to your third eye, activating your intuition.

The light settles in your heart space, connecting you to your soul.

Thank you, Higher Self and Soul for guiding me and allowing me to hear my intuition and inner wisdom today and all days.

Watch the light continue flowing down your whole body, washing away and releasing anything you do not need to bring with you into this practice.

 Thank you, Spirit Team, Higher Self, and Soul for helping me release what doesn't serve me or this practice today.

Full Moon Question for the Soul

Soul, what is ready to be released?

Sit, listen, and feel into a response for however long you need to. Write down whatever comes up in whatever form it comes in. Perhaps you just write words or even sketch something you see.

If you want extra support or additional insight, pull a Tarot or Oracle card and use this as a jumping off point. Do whatever feels right in the moment.
