Astro: New Moon in Libra
25/09/2022 @ 22:54 BST
All Hail & welcome to Astro: New Moon in Libra. We have a wonderfully sweet energy around us at this moment in time, after Mabon’s harvest as we enter into the darker months & the deeper recesses of ourselves. To each of us personally this can be an easy or tough time as we dig deep into our shadow and work with our hidden energies, emotions and fears. As we call on our benevolent ancestors & guides right now we find we are surrounded by love & the incessant energy to push through the mists of time and false veils of lies & deceit in our lives. This New Moon is the halfway mark of the astrological year & is the shift in our energies. It can be a stressful time, upsetting or feeling out of sorts. Focus is on finding balance & being open to gently extending harmonies which allow us to vibrate along the same lines as our truest self. Know that the universe provides all we need when we need it.
Libra New Moon is a time of balance, when we have reached the end of one 28 day cycle and begin another cycle of moon phasing. The new moon in astronomical terms is when there is no moon & the skies are dark. In astrological terms, this moon is the dark, balsamic moon, where we rest or release & banish the final purge of unwanted, dysfunctional, outdated & unproductive from our lives in order to make space for the new, seeds of hopes & desires. The exciting intentions we have in store for ourselves are planted at new moon when the sliver of silver is in the sky and the light of the moon is returning from the darkness. In order to make space for the new we must first cleanse & release old, outdated functionalities. This can sometimes come in the form of emotional traumas, relationships, careers, ways of thinking & being, need to be detached from us to enable the space we need for something good, new & exciting. Its a bit like an upgrade, out with the old & in with the new! New Moon is a time of transitioning from the wisdom of the crone to the maiden’s winter-spring.
Sun & Moon are conjunct (in the same sign) in Libra. The Sun represents the now, our identification, that bit of ourselves which we show the world, our consciousness, self esteem, ego & expression.
The Moon is our emotions, intuition, unconscious, inner personality, feelings & nurturing.
Libra is the sign of the scales of justice, with balance a key factor. Ruled by Venus, beauty, love & money. This cardinal Air sign gets actions moving, concerning relationships, business contracts & marriage. This is a good time to commit to personal goals & find the negotiator within to bring our relationships into balance. We are being encouraged to recalibrate our relationships in such as to ally with our partners. In so doing, we’ll be given chances to make those all important life changes together in knowledge & trust. Its a kind of making sure that thinking & desires are aligned. Libra conveys a sense of peace for us to create equilibrious environments in which we can value that which we have in our lives & loves.
Themes to consider for this phase & the next 2 weeks, until Full moon, are our relationship with; our sovereign self ; our partners; others (regarding our associations); nature, community; self beliefs. There may be some old habits or internal conflict arising which harnessed correctly can open doors for our growth. The key is balance.
Our feelings will be very intense feeling the pull to go within, as we mimic the mother Earth at this time of year, deeper to soul depth. Pain could arise, tiredness may affect us which will add to any uncertainty or confusion already present. This moon will highlight areas which are out of balance. It will reveal where and to whom we have been giving ourselves, possibly to our detriment, and will bring us back in line with ourselves. The Libran New Moon is very special in that it will bring us back to a place of self & show us a new way of being which is more beneficial. This is a time to step away from the blame game and aside from feelings of guilt, shame, inadequacy & focus on giving back to ourselves.
Relationship issues are a big theme this new moon. Things may come to a point which will need patience, understanding & reflection in answer to what occurs. With Mars -Saturn Trine, this looks to be a time seeing value in slowing down or keeping feet firmly grounded. With Libra ruled by Venus highlighting the physical, sexual & loving relationships we are part of & how we can traverse heated waters by being in the present. Libra wants balance & this also indicates the flow of reciprocity in our lives & all relationships. This month’s Full Moon in Pisces asked us to consider the wants & needs of our partners. This New Moon in Libra wants for us to find balance within our relationships, in how we give & receive, how we collaborate & what we have learned thus far. We are being asked to re-evaluate relationships. Libra season & Equinox/ Mabon is a rewarding time for to work in the area of connection. Relationships often form our greatest life teachings in which we learn, comprehend & grow.
Ask:
Do we act differently around certain people?
Do we like who we are when we are in their company?
Which relationships bring out our best & which the worst in us?
Which relationships keep us moving into the direction of growth & which trigger us into old patterns of thinking & acting?
Which relationships remind us of fun?
Which relationships are hard work & often one sided?
This Libra New Moon, encourages us to set our intentions to embrace new relationships & create equilibrium in our present relationships. It is a good time to hear someone out, by listening & not judging to those who may have experiences which have differed from our own. We can set personal & relationship boundaries. We can also give ourselves permission to be confident in our collaborative endeavours. In addition, we are being asked to show patience, to use the knowledge that we are made of precious energetic resources to think about where we are placing that energy & what it does to us. Know that we always have a choice in that which we choose to shine & dazzle or be bedraggled by. Its time to simplify the way in which we think!
Ask:
How is my energy used to its greatest potential?
Where is my energy at its best?
How & where am I of greatest service?
Know your worth! Know that your energy is a precious commodity to which not everyone is entitled to. Remember if you are feeling out of sorts, self care is your friend. A vessel half full cannot overflow to another. Only one which is full to the brim can give unconditionally of itself.
Planetary influences
Jupiter places a wonderful expansive presence into the mix. With harmonising energies expect an extension of that abundance & clarity to play out in our positive thinking & actions. We will see more of the silver lining of that which is bought to our attention.
Mars Square Neptune encourages us to ease up whilst attempting to find reason in our subconscious. Be aware of reactions & stem the flow of any aroused anger which can cause huge misunderstandings. Be able to collaborate, compromise & walk away from provocation with an open mind & heart.
That’s me keeping as simple as I can for this Libra New Moon. Thank you for joining me on another adventure through the cosmic energies on offer to us this New Moon. Please join me again for the Full Moon article on or around 9 October for Full Moon in Aries. Until then Blessings of peace, simplicity & abundance to you all.
In love, light & all betwixt
