Hello Good Humans!
The Full Moon occurs at 12° Libra on Wednesday April 1, 2026 in New York, USA. It is the Pink Moon. The Moon won’t appear to be pink. The name comes from the pink blossoms in the early spring. The aspects are an overenthusiastic square to larger than life Jupiter and an itchy quincunx to detail oriented Mercury. Other aspects happening include Mercury trine Jupiter and Saturn/Neptune sextile Pluto. A Full Moon happens when the Moon is 180° away from the Sun, exactly opposite. It is the time to present completed projects to the public and receive feedback. During the full Moon cycle we have to balance home and family with career, what we want with what we have internally and externally. So, let’s use our intuitive instincts to inspire action in our projects, plans and dreams.
FOREST for the TREES
It’s that old idiom, “He could not see the forest for the trees.” This means the person was focused on the details that they failed to see the big picture. Mercury is all about details while Jupiter likes big, open vistas. If you look at astronomically, scientifically Mercury is the smallest planet is our solar system while Jupiter is the largest. Here we see the physical and metaphysical qualities mirror each other. So, first, let’s look at the details then we will step back to view the big picture. The intuitive and emotional energy of the Full Moon is challenged by Mercury’s focus on details, facts and how to communicate and use them. This can have you sorting out your feelings from facts in order to make a plan and move forward. Both need to be addressed and defined first. This is the energy to hash things out in. Quiet reflection, thought and planning is needed before accelerating. However, don’t get stuck in this mode, which is prone to overthinking. You won’t have a good ride with one foot on the gas and the other on the brakes. Mercury rules communication, neighbors, siblings, contracts, negotiations, commerce and how we manage our day to day activities. Good ideas are made more powerful when they are backed up by a strong emotion. Both have to be clear in order to proceed successfully. Give yourself the time to figure out the right course of action. The Full Moon square Jupiter can be fun and indulgent and even a bit lucky but you must heed the issues of arrogance and self righteousness. It can also want to move ahead enthusiastically without taking into account necessary details and the feelings of those around them. This can lead to stepping on toes and opposition. Check in with your team and make sure you are all on the same page. Now that you’re sorted and planned, let’s step back and look at the big picture which includes the harmonious trine of Mercury to Jupiter, which brings out both their good sides. They bond as happy copilots with a common goal and mutual plan. Jupiter rules law, publishing, travel, cultural exchange and higher education. Those teamed up with Mercury’s talents in commerce, communication, contracts and short distance travel you will soon be on your way.
