drop the power struggle

Hi friends,
Sometimes the best thing we can do is stand up and fight for what we know is right. And sometimes, the best thing we can do for the moment is to drop the power struggle in order to keep our inner peace.
The Libra full Moon on April 12th actually calls on us to do both, yet with a larger focus on helping us discard the fight, to just let it go, and instead prioritize our peace.
Don’t be fooled, though, this is not a white flagged surrender, not by any means. We are not giving up, but instead we are giving in to what is, because we know that the energy we would have spent on resisting and proving our rightness (and righteousness), can now be spent in more positive and productive ways. (Like in ways that allows us to gather in communities in order to support each other as buffers against the isolation of authoritarianism)
Libra, the sign of balance, harmony, and justice, illuminates the dynamics within our relationships, urging us to release toxic cycles and embrace a new way of relating to each other and with ourselves. A way where there is a lot less struggle and a lot more acceptance.

Libra’s balancing act:
As a cardinal Air sign, Libra initiates connection and intellectual exchange, and also seeks equilibrium in pretty much everything, especially relationships.
Concerned with equity, diplomacy and reciprocity, Libra energy often highlights the delicate balance between fulfilling our own versus other people’s desires.
As the zodiac’s sign of balance, Libra seeks harmony, fairness, and connection. But this Full Moon isn’t about surface-level peacekeeping—it’s about inner equilibrium. It’s about recognizing where our need to be “right” is costing us serenity. It’s about stepping back from the endless push and pull in our relationships and instead leaning into trust, acceptance, and graceful detachment.
With the Sun in independent Aries opposing the Libra Moon, we may feel tension between our desire for autonomy and our need for partnership. This dynamic asks us to find a middle ground—where we honor our truth without forcing it onto others, where we stay rooted in our own energy without trying to manage someone else’s.
This Full Moon asks us to examine where we may be engaging in unnecessary power struggles—attempting to control, persuade, or validate our perspectives rather than simply allowing people to be who they are.
This Libra full Moon wants to teach us that true balance isn’t found in controlling others but in finding inner peace within ourselves.
Venus Stations Direct (finally!)
This lunation occurs on the same day that Venus, Libra’s ruling planet, stations direct after her retrograde journey, bringing newfound clarity around our values, relationships, desires, and the patterns we perpetuate in love, money, and self-worth.
With Venus stationing direct, we are emerging from a period of deep reflection on love, relationships, finances, and personal values. This Full Moon acts as an emotional checkpoint, revealing what we’ve outgrown.
Have we been engaging in relationship dynamics that feel more like a tug-of-war than a mutual exchange?
Are we stuck in patterns of seeking validation, proving our point, or trying to change someone?
The Libra full Moon asks us to put down the weight of these struggles and move forward with grace.
This doesn’t mean abandoning all power struggles—some are necessary, especially in standing up for our boundaries, self-respect, and justice. But this Full Moon brings discernment: Where are we wasting energy on battles that drain us rather than uplift us?
The question now is: How do we embody these insights moving forward?
Releasing Mental Loops & Emotional Baggage
Libra’s airy nature also governs the mind, making this Full Moon a prime time to examine the mental patterns that keep us locked in emotional turmoil.
Are we replaying old arguments? Fixating on how others perceive us?
The mental clutter that fuels our emotional loops can be cleared by simply letting go—choosing peace over endless inner debates.
One of my favorite simple yet effective practices to calm my mind when it gets loopy and negative, is to softy and gently hum to myself as I’m going about my activities. Humming forces us to breathe more slowly and deeply and also creates a reverberance within the vagus nerve which activates the parasympathetic nervous system of rest and digest, and helps us feel more calm and centered.
Humming, singing or toning are great ways to work with the energies of this Libra Full Moon as they honor the element of Air as it flows through our bodies and our powerful vortex of divine truth - our throat chakra.
TRUSTING OUR TRUTH
The throat chakra is the center of our authentic truth and expression, and one of THE most important chakras for manifesting your desires into the physical world.
When balanced, the throat chakra allows us to communicate our truth with clarity and confidence, without feeling the need to argue, prove, or persuade. If this chakra is imbalanced, we may struggle with self-expression or feel unheard, leading to frustration and power struggles.
The Full Moon illuminates what’s ready to be let go, and in Libra, that means shedding the exhausting habit of over-explaining, defending, or justifying who we are.
What if we stopped trying to convince others of our worth?
What if we released the need to be understood by everyone?
What if our inner peace mattered more than winning an argument?
This lunation calls us to trust that our truth stands on its own, without force or justification. The more we allow ourselves to be, the more we attract the relationships that resonate with who we truly are.
Moving Forward with Grace
This Libra Full Moon reminds us that relationships are a dance, not a battle. When we release the need to prove, persuade, or struggle for control, we create space for true harmony. Let them be who they are. And in turn, let yourself be free.
May this luminous Libra full Moon help you find balance within yourself and peace within your connections.
with infinite love and appreciation ,

I’m also on IG, YouTube and TikTok:
This full Moon is bound to be an emotionally triggering one. It stands opposite Chiron, which rules our deepest wounds.
An opposition brings awareness to what needs balance—in this case, it’s the balance between our emotional needs and our healing work. There may be a push-pull between wanting to feel safe and needing to sit with discomfort in order to address the pain. Either way, it’s probably not going to feel comfortable, so you might as well lean into the side that supports healing.
In addition, Mars forms a loose square to both the Moon and Chiron, adding tension-filled action into the mix. Feeling vulnerable (Chiron) combined with Mars and a full Moon can stir up anger and defensiveness. It’ll be easy to act out. We may feel the urge to do something with these emotions instead of just feeling them. Emotional reactivity will be a strong instinct here—do your best to take a breath before responding.
Lastly, this could stir up emotional trauma we’ve been storing—consciously or not—in our bodies. Again, it may come up uncomfortably, but the full Moon invites us to release what we can. Somatic practices will be especially helpful under this moon. Move your body to help release and heal the pain.
