Full Moon in Libra: Releasing Codependency & People-Pleasing (March/April)

Understanding Full Moon in Libra Energy

The full moon in Libra illuminates the shadow side of the peacemaker—codependency, people-pleasing, losing yourself in relationships, and the inability to be alone. While Libra energy at its best creates beautiful partnerships and harmony, at its worst it creates self-abandonment and toxic compromise.

Occurring between March 21 and April 19 (opposite the Aries sun), this full moon asks: "Where have you lost yourself trying to keep the peace? Where are you saying yes when you mean no? Where are you more concerned with being liked than being authentic? Where is your need for partnership actually codependency?"

This is the time to release codependency, stop people-pleasing, set healthy boundaries, and remember that you are whole on your own.

Complete Full Moon in Libra Release Ritual

What You'll Need:

Crystals: Rose quartz, rhodonite, amazonite, black tourmaline, clear quartz

Candles: Pink candle (self-love), white candle (independence)

Tools: String or ribbon, scissors, mirror, journal

Step-by-Step Ritual:

Step 1: The Codependency Inventory (15 minutes)

Get honest about where you've lost yourself.

Journal on:

• Where do I lose myself in relationships?
• What do I do for approval that I don't actually want to do?
• Where am I saying yes when I mean no?
• What boundaries have I let others cross?
• Who am I without my relationships?
• What am I afraid will happen if I set boundaries?

Step 2: The Cord-Cutting Ceremony (15 minutes)

Release codependent attachments.

1. Light two candles side by side
2. Tie a string between them representing codependency
3. Say: "This cord represents my codependent attachment to [person/pattern]"
4. Hold the string and feel the weight of losing yourself
5. Say: "I release this codependency. I reclaim myself. I am whole on my own."
6. Cut the string with scissors
7. Separate the candles—you are TWO WHOLE people, not two halves
8. Let both candles burn completely

Step 3: The "No" Practice (10 minutes)

Libra needs to learn to say NO.

1. Stand in front of a mirror
2. Practice saying "No" out loud 10 times
3. Say it different ways:

• "No."
• "No, thank you."
• "That doesn't work for me."
• "I'm not available."
• "I need to decline."

4. Notice how uncomfortable this feels
5. Say: "No is a complete sentence. I am allowed to say no."
6. Commit to saying no to ONE thing within 24 hours

Step 4: The Boundary Declaration (15 minutes)

Set clear boundaries.

1. Write down boundaries you need to set:

• "I will no longer [tolerate behavior]"
• "I need [specific need] in relationships"
• "I am no longer available for [draining activity]"
• "I require [respect/space/honesty]"

2. Read each boundary aloud with CONVICTION
3. Say: "These boundaries are not negotiable. I am worth protecting."
4. Commit to communicating ONE boundary this week

Step 5: The Solo Date Practice (20 minutes)

Libra needs to learn to be alone.

1. Spend 20 minutes completely alone (no phone, no people, no distractions)
2. Do something you enjoy BY YOURSELF
3. Notice the discomfort of being alone
4. Breathe through it
5. Say: "I am whole on my own. I am complete without a partner. I enjoy my own company."
6. Schedule regular solo time for the next lunar cycle

Step 6: The Self-Reclamation Ritual (15 minutes)

Take back what you've given away.

1. Journal: "What parts of myself have I abandoned to please others?"
2. Examples:

• Hobbies you stopped
• Opinions you silenced
• Dreams you sacrificed
• Boundaries you dropped
• Authenticity you hid

3. For each one, say: "I reclaim [part of self]. I take back my power."
4. Commit to ONE action to reclaim yourself this week

Step 7: Close the Ritual (5 minutes)

Place your hand on your heart and say:

"I release codependency and embrace wholeness. I release people-pleasing and embrace authenticity. I release the need to be liked and embrace being real. I release toxic compromise and embrace healthy boundaries. I am whole on my own. I am complete. I am FREE. And so it is."

Final Thoughts: You Are Whole

The full moon in Libra teaches us that partnership is beautiful, but it should be two WHOLE people choosing each other, not two halves desperately clinging together.

You are not incomplete without a partner. You are not selfish for having boundaries. You are not mean for saying no. You are not difficult for having needs.

You are WHOLE. You are COMPLETE. You are ENOUGH—all by yourself.

Release the need to please. Set the boundaries. Say the no. Be alone. Find yourself. THEN, if you choose, share yourself with someone who honors all of you.

You are not half of anything. You are WHOLE.
