This month's lunar eclipse is an interesting one because as you can see in the chart above, the partner-oriented Libra Moon is standing completely on its own.
Since eclipses only occur when they're aligned with the nodes, it's no surprise to see one nearby, although the fact that it's a south node is significant because south node eclipses are associated with release and/or loss.
Also notable is that except for the exact opposition to the Sun, there isn't a single applying (forming) aspect from the Libra Moon to any other planet. The only aspect is a separating trine to Pluto, but since it's already 3° past exact at the time of the eclipse, its influence is weak. The same can be said about its separating quincunx to Mars.
But what does that really mean, or more to the point, what does that mean for you?
Since a lunar eclipse takes place during a full moon, its purpose is to bring something to a conclusion, and whether it happens as the natural outcome of a current situation or because of a sudden crisis that forces your hand, the result is the same. Something comes to an end.
And since it's in Libra, that something is most likely connected to a relationship, or in some cases, a lawsuit.
If there is a relationship in your life (personal or professional) that feels one-sided, lacks healthy boundaries or suffers from an inequitable balance of power, this lunar energy is urging you to take whatever action is necessary to release the situation so you can restore harmony in your life.
And while it could mean the end of a union, it could just as easily mean the end of the matter that has been antagonizing it.
Just know that whatever it is, it's something you need to tackle on your own because just as the Moon stands alone, so will you.
If you have a planet or a sensitive point at or near 5° of Libra, Aries, Cancer or Capricorn, you are more likely to experience an eclipse-related event.
If not, then you can expect this eclipse to shed light on a relationship, a behavior pattern or an imbalance in your life that would benefit from being addressed at this time.
However, keep in mind that with Mercury stationing retrograde tomorrow, there's a strong possibility that whatever coincides with this lunar eclipse may not be crystal clear or finalized until after Mercury goes direct on April 25.
So where might you need to address a relationship imbalance in your life? Look to the relationships ruled by the house in your horoscope that is receiving the eclipse.

Releasing with the Libra Lunar Eclipse
You can release anything under any full moon, but when it's saturated in Libra energy, it's especially favorable for releasing:
Negative beliefs or attitudes about marriage, partnerships close friends and other committed unions, as well as for releasing relationships that no longer fulfill you.
Traits and tendencies to be a people-pleaser, co-dependent, shallow, vain, over-accommodating, self-indulgent, pretentious or unable to make a decision for fear of making the wrong one.
