April 2020 Love TarotScopes—Full Moon in Libra square Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn!

Power struggles in relationships come to a head with explosive results!

The Moon at 18 degrees Libra opposes the Sun in Aries on April 7, 10:35 p.m. (EDT). Relationships will be the focus at this Full Moon as we balance the energies of Libra and Aries. The Sun in Aries wants to be first, take action, and get things moving, while the Moon in Venus-ruled Libra demands justice, compromise, and diplomacy. Libra wants everyone’s needs to be met as she works to create “win-win” solutions that are fair to all parties. We can solve any relationship issues by balancing our desires with the needs of others, and finding a middle ground that satisfies both sides.

With a tense T-square from Jupiter and Pluto, both in Capricorn and influencing this Moon, energies involving control, hierarchy, and dominance may be ramped up at this time. Normally, Jupiter in close aspect with Pluto can bring wealth and abundance. But, forming a square with the Full Moon, Jupiter may bring coldness and the more controlling aspects of Capricorn to our relationships, with Pluto playing the power card like an old crime boss. We may have intense struggles with authority figures that are abusing their power or acting overly harsh and unyielding.

A Full Moon usually brings hidden things to the surface and we may see some harsh truths about people or relationships, both business and personal. If we have been living under illusions about the people around us, we can no longer avoid seeing the true nature and character of those close to us.

The way out of this T-square is to embrace the energy of Cancer and take a time out for self-care. We may need to retreat to the safety of our homes to connect with kindred souls, family, and friends—those who will offer loving kindness to heal any wounds caused by the darker side of Capricorn enlarged by Jupiter.

Mars in Aquarius will be in square aspect to Uranus in Taurus at the Full Moon. This is a volatile combination that can be reckless and explosive, causing accidents if we are too impulsive at this time. Tension and frustration in relationships can erupt and come to a head, and we may be in danger of over-reacting. This week is not the time to make quick decisions or take sudden action in anger. We might do or say things we will regret in days ahead when the storm blows over.

The Moon in Libra forming an inconjunct aspect to Neptune and Mercury in Pisces could help us escape from any relationship tension by drowning ourselves in art, music, writing, or meditation. Mercury in Pisces is forming a supportive aspect to Jupiter and Pluto. Powerful thoughts, dreams, or messages from other realms may be communicated at this time.

Another blessing comes from lovely Venus in chatty Gemini forming a trine to Mars in Aquarius. Love is in the air—even if we need to connect over the Internet or through technology. When Venus and Mars are sending each other good vibes, love and passion are destined to happen. With Uranus in the mix, sudden connections may take us by surprise!

We must try to stay calm during this Full Moon, and don’t let anyone push our buttons! With good vibes from Mercury, Venus and Mars, we can keep busy and out of trouble by doing things that bring us joy, connecting with our inner muse, and flirting with potential lovers while waiting for the storm to clear.
