The full moon of 18 April 2030 is exact at 03:20 UTC, with the Moon at 28°09' Libra and the Sun directly opposite at 28°09' Aries. At 359,659 km from Earth, this is a perigee full moon, popularly called a supermoon, so it appears slightly larger and brighter than average. There is no eclipse, and no planet is within orb of a major aspect to the lunation. Mercury and Jupiter are both retrograde.
Astrologers read Libra, the cardinal air sign ruled by Venus, as the sign of balance, fairness and partnership. The tradition treats a full moon as a point of culmination, and here it is taken to highlight how give and take is shared between people. With Mercury retrograde, a modest step is to revisit an agreement or an unfinished conversation slowly before deciding anything new.
