Full moon in Libra
The full moon. What has grown since the new moon can be seen.
The Moon in Libra is about partners and balance, agreements and the other side of the table.
Source: Computed from the Moon–Sun elongation (astronomy-engine).
Computed with astronomy-engine, which follows the NASA JPL ephemerides. Times are Central (Daylight or Standard as the date falls) and UTC; a moon is one instant for the whole world, so only the clock changes with the zone.
How to use the month
Start after the new moon. Review at the full.
The week after the new moon is for beginning what you decided on at the dark of the moon. The full moon is when it shows, and the days after it are for looking honestly at how it went. The last week before the next new moon is for finishing and clearing. That is the whole method, and the app runs a planner on it for people who run businesses.
The sign each moon falls in colors it. The lines under each moon above say what that sign is like; the house wheel says which of your own houses it lands in, from your rising sign.
