The Libra full moon on Tuesday, April 7, 2020, increases the risks associated with the coronavirus pandemic. Full moon April 2020 makes an aspect to Neptune that is associated with health imbalances. And Neptune is the planet of illness and infection.
The April 2020 full moon is made more dangerous by Mars square Uranus. This impulsive influence makes people rebellious and aggressive. Jupiter conjunct Pluto amplifies the risks but a positive aspect to Mercury gives understanding and common sense. It means smart thinking and cooperation with friends and neighbors is the key to staying safe and relatively happy during the difficult moon phase.
Full Moon Meaning
Sun opposite Moon brings your home, family and intimate relationships into sharper focus for the following two weeks of this moon phase. Opposing forces such as work versus home, or what you need versus what you want, create inner tension and external pressures. This can lead to conflict and crises that drain your energy.
The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts reach their peak at a full moon. So use your increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an impartial and balanced look at your personal relationships. You will clearly see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.
Full Moon April 2020 Astrology
The April 7 full moon at 18°43′ Libra makes one minor aspect to Neptune so the recent theme of illness and infection continues. The fixed stars in this area do not have an important influence on the full moon but there are other planetary aspects that are very significant. They do offer some hope but overall, this is another challenging moon phase.

Neptune Illness and Infection
Full Moon quincunx Neptune increases your emotional sensitivity which can lead to confusion, insecurity and neurotic distress. The quincunx is an aspect of health imbalances, and Neptune rules illness and infection. So full moon April 2020 also increases the risks posed by the coronavirus. Cleanliness and hygeine are critical during this two-week moon phase.
There is also a risk of misdiagnosis, over-sensitivity to medications, addiction, and poisoning. Paranoia and suspicion can lead to mistrust and the poisoning of a relationship. You may be susceptible to isolation, gossip, scandal, betrayal, loss or disappointment. Interestingly, the coronavirus pandemic chart has this same aspect with almost the same orb.
Jupiter-Pluto Extremes
Jupiter conjunct Pluto is exact on April 4, only three days before the full moon. With an orb of only 0°18′, this is a very powerful influence for the whole moon phase. This major alignment is widely square the full moon which makes it more challenging than it would normally be. But it is exactly sextile Mercury which brings progressive thinking and perhaps even some good news.
Jupiter conjunct Pluto can make you very focused and driven to succeed. A mix of intense effort and good luck can bring power and influence to make a big difference in your life.
However this conjunction is going to intensify and exacerbate the coronavirus pandemic. This is because it falls on Pluto on the pandemic chart at 24°30′ Capricorn. So there will be more fear, mass death and extreme measures to restrict the spread of the virus.
Some people will react with ruthless, extreme, self-righteous, prejudiced, immoral or obsessive behavior. Selfishness, greed, jealousy, revenge, racism, violence and crime are possible.
Mercury sextile Jupiter brings positive thinking which should reduce the risk of those destructive behaviors mentioned above. A broad outlook and excellent decision-making skills allow you to make plans in response to new laws and regulations. This is a good full moon to implement new routines at home for schooling children.
Mercury sextile Pluto gives the intense focus and concentration to research the truth and uncover secrets. You can trust your intuition to guide your decisions. Mercury sextile Jupiter-Pluto means you transform your way of thinking and adapt to new restrictions affecting communications and movements. Working together with your friends and neighbors will help you stay safer and happier.
Full Moon Danger
Mars square Uranus only 8 hours before the full moon will have a dangerous influence. It will make people impulsive and erratic as they rebel against the restrictions imposed by governments. A tendency to act rashly without regard for the consequences may lead to great disruption or conflict.
You cannot restrain this erratic energy so you must express your crazy, creative or inventive side in a safe environment. Find a creative outlet socially, sexually or through a hobby. Get your kinky or dangerous desires out of your system in a safe way without upsetting others. Avoid impulsive actions and taking dangerous risks.
Full Moon April 2020 Summary
The April 7 full moon increases the risk of infection and illness because it is quincunx Neptune. Jupiter joins Pluto to intensify the coronavirus pandemic and amplify the risk.
Mars square Uranus also increases the risk of infection because it leads to impulsive actions. So it is critically important to remain patient and cautious because this aspect makes you want to break free of restrictions, regardless of the consequences.
The key to remaining safe during full moon April 2020 is using your brain. Mercury sextile Jupiter-Pluto means thinking, communications and local travel are assets. Use this full moon to change your way of thinking. Listen to advice, share your knowledge and be smart about how you move around and interact with your neighbors.

I could of just read Edgar Allen Poe.

I feel for the people living in domestic violence situations and how this pandemic is effecting them. This full moon sounds like a bad moon rising. Stay safe everyone and be kind to each other and yourself x
Well I’m sure you do feel, laying in the trap, clawing at the clamp. Rise, Phoenix, in all structured astrological Benevolence. Leave no stoning unturned. Joy to the World, all the fishies in the Sea, Joy to you and me. Hang in there. Venus in the Age of Aqr Joy house, 5th. Just. Hang. in. there. another week and we’re there x
The Neptune aspect’s a minor one.
Full Moons are a time of culmination – reaping what we started at the last New Moon two weeks before. It’s a great time to sit and think of family and friends, and to ask forgiveness to all who may hold a grudge against you – and vice versa, time for all us to forgive others. Carrying a grudge is like having poison in yourself and your psyche. So find a time the day of the Full Moon, think of the person you want forgiveness from, and repeat this (in the order that feels right): ‘I love you, please forgive me, I’m sorry, thank you!’ Say this over and over and that it’s for in all directions of time. Thus we can LIGHTEN OUR LOADS!
And remember to use kindness whenever possible, but most of all, remember kindness is ALWAYS possible! Compassionate words from His Holiness, The Fourteenth Dalai Llama
Hello Jamie, this full moon conjuct My uranus and IC. Uranus rules 7 and 8 houses and its opposite My mercury. What can It brings?
Creeping, this Full Moon brings. The new.
Leonard Cohen beside me.
Informative analysis, Jaime. I am still proposing a simple explanation of the pandemic, conflict between Neptune and Mercury. The tide has already turned, this moon won’t make it worse. The moon’s light will expose the problem, not worsen it, and bring the first phase to an end. Venus is now is Gemini, and Mercury will soon leave Pisces. Watch tomorrow and the 12th April as inflection points. The world’s immune system is stirring. As Gemini and Pisces are both “liar signs” there is a lot of deception (Pisces) and superficial incorrect explanations/actions (Gemini). The real is just beginning to appear.
How are Pisces and Gemini liar signs and what have they got to with human behaviour that has led to COVID19
SMDH.
Mercury in Pisces, in its Fall. Virgo Exalted.
We are trying to be objective about Pandemic? Yeah right.
At the Full Moon, Mercury is transiting the last Decan of Pisces, separating conjunct Neptune.
“Confused Empathy” is how Idiots Guide to Astrology, describes this Mercury placement.
There’s a lot more to Mars than aggression and violence.
Mars is a planet of pioneering, action, leadership, execution of Saturn’s ambitions and plans, physical activity, getting things done and more.
I don’t see how Neptune or any planet has anything to do with diseases.
This is astrology taken too far.
Astrology has nothing to do with coronavirus.
When I found astrology in November 2018 I warned myself to guard against God like complexes that are prevalent in this field and not to take the subject beyond what it should.
And, never to abdicate my responsibilities to it or blame my chart or transits for anything.
Taking astrology beyond limits is the reason many take is a joke and is mocked as non science, not that I believe if should meet the narrow definition of science for it to be, or that it loses relevance due to its non science status.
Narrow definitions and analysis are what make it irrelevant and mockery.
Where do you think we should draw the line in major disasters and astrology? How would you redirect the focus and expand on the narrow analysis given in this article, and where do you find relevance in the current planetary alignments, if not in the news and worldwide events?
it does and it doesn’t …. but however one wants to interpret it they can fit it in their box… I agree that the astrology doesn’t “cause” things to occur … but in the case that this virus is man made … I do know the Chinese rely on mystics and astrologers to navigate western societies. Their timing was impeccable based on all the aspects and how they might be interpreted to fit the situation. So like you I do not believe the astrology has anything to do wit the virus and I also do not believe it is a message from the Earth as so many climate change zealots present.
All of you are so negative…
I think I’ll add to this – the Moon being in Libra, so a hat-tip to ‘temperance’ or ‘balance’ – that the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction is also symbolic of a regeneration of faith, optimism and understanding. Jupiter is a healer. Here he has travelled into the underworld and when he emerges will have returned with something of great value. One of the problems with a full Moon in Libra is the loss of perspective, so perhaps that’s something to keep in mind here.
I banned them all. Whoever is still calling this astrology and not realizing they got lost in the “as=swipe scent” while trolling my home and calling me MARS when Eye Am the Sovereign design under the surname of MARTINEZ is out…bye.
