Romantic Full Moon in Libra

Get ready for a lovefest as the Full Moon in Libra on April 9, 2009 revs up romance this weekend. Libra is the sign of love, beauty and artistry. With that in mind, why not take advantage of the luscious lunar energy and focus on expressing your heart?

If you’re single, grab a friend or two and go out dancing or embark on a mini-weekend adventure. Or invite some people over for dinner and enjoy lively conversation and exotic food. If you’re in a partnership, create a gorgeous ambiance for a romantic night in. Or, surprise your sweetie with a loving gesture or gift like taking them out to their favorite spot or concert they would love. It’s all about being close and enjoying some one-on-one time.

Libra is pure love, after all, which includes romance and platonic friendships. It’s also an Air sign, which means this particular Full Moon favors any kind of socializing.

Luxury beckons
Libra also rules finery, so if you get the urge to splurge, you may be under the spell of the Full Moon. Other activities you may want to indulge in this weekend include perusing an art gallery, taking in a film, dining at a luxurious restaurant (or setting a beautiful table at home), redecorating or beautifying your home, getting pampered at a spa or revamping your wardrobe – whatever makes you feel beautiful and loved.

Other cosmic energies
Although the Libra energy can be felt over the next two weeks or so, the Moon is in Scorpio for most of this weekend. That means that both love and lust are kicking up their heels in the heavens. What’s more, Venus transits into Pisces on Saturday, which casts a dreamy aura over romance. Then at 11 a.m. (Pacific time) on Sunday, the Moon transits into freewheeling Sagittarius, a time for more daring pursuits.
