April’s full Moon in Libra aligns with Jupiter and Neptune’s recent rare meet-up, keeping hope alive for a miracle.

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock lately, you’ve heard about Jupiter and Neptune’s connection. These two planetary heavyweights haven’t met up in Pisces since 1856, so it’s been big astro news worldwide. In a nutshell, this alignment could manifest in one of two ways, especially if you have Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius prominent in your birth chart, or you have a natal planet in twenty-three degrees. You do? Then listen up because you’re more likely to feel this shift.

Firstly, remember that free will trumps astrology (this astrologer strongly believes it does). Of course, there are certain limitations with what’s cosmically accessible. Still, you can choose how you react to your circumstances and how to best use the planetary energy available at the time.

The upshot of Jupiter and Neptune’s link highlights creativity, spirituality, great compassion, evolutionary breakthroughs, dreams coming true and healing - all incredibly optimistic predictions. But, as previously mentioned, addictions, scams, delusion, foolishness and escapism are also possible with this alignment. So, if you’re treading a fine line between these two different sides of the same coin, it’s vital that you choose the high road during this full Moon.

What has all this got to do with April's full Moon in Libra anyway? Well, plenty. Because La Luna’s ripening illuminates and enlightens, meaning that each full Moon brings something to fruition. Although Jupiter and Neptune have been working hard behind the scenes to make your dreams come true since coming together on April 12th/13th, this full Moon may be the cosmos’ last push to bring you your miracle moment. Keep the faith!

This is particularly true for all your relationships, business interactions and romantic attractions because, let’s face it, partnerships are what Libra is all about.

My hot tip for April's full Moon is to manifest your heart out! A Jupiter-Neptune alignment topped off by a full Moon is the most potent celestial combination in astrological existence if you want your wishes to morph into reality.

Now, excuse me while I add the fishing touches to my vision board.
