New Moon in Libra : A Fresh Start Amidst the Light and the Shadows

On Saturday September 28th 2019, we have a New Moon in Libra in the morning. This New Moon can mark a new beginning for relationships and also for regaining a sense of balance and harmony in our lives. 

Libra is a sign that is all about connecting one on one with others. It's about connection, harmony, balance, fairness, justice, peace, beauty, art and love. With a New Moon in this lovely sign, so many are facing an ability to start fresh in a way within different types of relationships. This can be a time where you agree to compromise and regain balance in relations with others. Always remember as well to balance your relationship with yourself with your relationship to others. This is a time to start a phase that is more balanced. 

Leading up to the New Moon the Sun opposes Chiron, so it's still loosely in affect during the New Moon. While there's a big focus on relationships, there's also focus on our own selves. Healing issues around identity, individuality and independence. Relationships could even be a mirror at this time to show you what you need to heal in your relationship to yourself. It can be an empowering time though at the end of the day. Since this aspect was exact a couple days before the New Moon and is technically moving on, this New Moon could bring the sense of being able to move on from our personal wounds. Getting past them. Getting over them.

In terms of relationship stuff this New Moon can be really interesting because it's kind of connected to lunar cycles we had in late March and throughout April. How is your life in terms of relationships (or maybe in general) connected to that period? How far have you come? Are you able to start fresh with something that was going on back then? Are you finally free to have what you wanted then, but needed to grow through some things first? 

Venus in Libra will be making an awesome sextile to Jupiter in Sagittarius at the time of the New Moon. This is lucky, positive, expansive energy for relationships. This bodes especially well for romantic relationships. There can be this wonderful balance and growth towards the future. There's romance and optimism available. There's beauty if you look for it. 

I've talked about this recently, but I'll talk about it again. Neptune and Black Moon Lilith have been conjunct in Pisces all this week. I don't often bring up Black Moon Lilith, but it's pretty interesting. It's not a planetary body, it's a geometric point. It's the point in the Moon's orbit where it is farthest from the Sun. The darkest point. The shadows. What you cannot see. It represents our shadow side. The parts of ourselves we don't wish to acknowledge. The parts that we hide. The parts of ourselves other don't seem to accept. Our fears. Our hurts. Our 'dark sides'. It's also known as the shadow feminine. The types of females or aspects of females that aren't accepted. Sadly there's all sorts of aspects or ways females can be that haven't been accepted. So basically, a lot of this very hidden energy can come to surface now. Neptune urges us to transmute and transcend these shadows whatever they may be in our lives. They are part of the whole. Perhaps you won't feel whole until you accept all of yourself. The good, the bad and the ugly. The light AND the dark. 

Last, but not least there's an awkward quincunx between the New Moon and Uranus. Quincunx's are when planets are in signs with absolutely nothing in common with each other. Completely incompatible. It's not even like there's tension. There's almost no connection. The New Moon is Libra is about this fresh start in relationships and connections. This beautiful sense of harmony and balance. Uranus is about change, shakeups, breaking free, even sometimes chaos. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. In the midst of these lovely new beginnings will there be some crazy shakeups that seem incompatible with it all? Do we want peace and harmony so bad we're not actually allowing radical change? Regardless there could be a touch of the unexpected that could play out here. 

Overall this is a powerful time. There's such a sense of refreshed relationships. A sense of love and beauty. Yet it's not all unicorns and rainbows. There's this intense shadow aspect. This transmutation and healing . The lightness and darkness of life are meeting up in this perfect yin and yang to propel us forward. Perhaps that is where the true balance is coming from at this time. 

New Moon in Libra: Embrace the Element of Change

Tomorrow (October 19th 2017 at 12:12 PM PDT) there will be a New Moon in Libra. This is a very exciting New Moon with a lot of aspects. We have to expect the unexpected with this one. A portal of a beautiful, vibrant new beginning awaits if we are willing to embrace it. 

Leading up to the New Moon the energy is always a bit lower and everyone may feel a bit reclusive as the Moon is getting darker. When the New Moon hits though, it's a time of new beginnings and a time to manifest what you would like. This new beginning is quite a big one too. 

The most interesting part of this New Moon is an exact opposition to Uranus. One big thing to keep in mind with this month's new beginning is to expect the unexpected. Some people get annoyed with that interpretation of Uranus energies, but that is the truth! If we knew what to expect it wouldn't be unexpected would it? 

It's interesting because the crazy energy of Uranus tied up with the Moon is affecting the tides right now because they waves are pretty crazy around where I live. It's interesting to see physical manifestations of planetary energy like that. 

What we can say about Uranus for sure is that it always brings change. We're being reminded of change we still need to enact in our lives to live the life we want. Although, of course Uranus may just not remind us, it may just bring a change we needed unexpectedly! 

With the Libra energies of the New Moon we can't forget about relationships. This could be a new beginning in a relationship sense for some people. This could be within existing partnerships or even could be a potential time to meet someone. With Uranus tugging at the other end of the New Moon in Aries, we are reminded of our own individuality and freedom as well. If there is a new beginning in a relationship sense, it must balance the 'self' and the 'partner'. Balance is always key when talking about Libra. 

We have Saturn in a sextile with the New Moon helping us get our lives together in the way we need to. Helping us take practical steps and get structured properly. Saturn can be a harsh planet, but this time it's making a nicer aspect and helping us get down to business in a good way. 

Another interesting aspect to this New Moon is a sextile to Black Moon Lilith. I don't usually talk about Black Moon Lilith, but this is an interesting aspect especially because Black Moon Lilith is on the Galactic Center. Black Moon Lilith has to do with our shadow side and what we keep hidden for fear it won't be accepted. With Black Moon Lilith traveling through Sagittarius we have been dealing with our beliefs we have kept hidden and the parts of ourselves that are highly knowledgeable that we keep hidden. It also just hides the truth. In terms of actual truths or the truth of our own being and who we really are. In a personal way it's powerful, but it will be interesting to see what will happen on a more global or governmental level. There could be some whistleblowers or some truths coming out in that way as well. With the sextile to the New Moon, part of the new beginning on a personal level is to accept the knowledge we have and our beliefs and start to share them with the world. We need to come to terms with our shadow side and the TRUTH of who we really are. Black Moon Lilith being on the Galactic Center just makes this more powerful. The Galactic Center is the center of the milky way where a black hole is located. It is a huge source of energy. So with Black Moon Lilith sitting there we are having some powerful stuff come to the surface and it is impacting this New Moon. 

Last, but not least we have a bit of a looser trine/sextile from the Nodes to the New Moon. This is reminding us of our purpose. Reminding us particularly of our inner light we need to shine and to step into our authenticity. The recent eclipse was related to the theme of the Nodes, so we are being reminded of what that eclipse was urging us to do personally. Of course no matter where the eclipse was in your chart it is all about stepping into our authenticity, which ties in kind of nicely with the other aspects. 

~What a jam packed New Moon this is! Basically, at this time there is a portal opening in our lives. A new beginning. Doors opening. If we work with the energy, this could be beautiful. We are really being urged to get going on the path that is right for us all. Time to step into our authenticity, to embrace the truth of who we are, to stop hiding our knowledge, to get down to business creating the life we want and should be leading and to break free from anything holding our individuality back. Of course on top of that, we are urged to be in balanced partnerships that support this authentic life. Of course, there is also the element of the unexpected that we can look forward to! I can't stress enough what a powerful time this is!  ~

New Moon in Libra: Balance, Harmony, Beauty and Transformation

On September 23rd 2014 at 11:14 PM (PDT) there will be a New Moon in Libra. This New Moon will be the most potent if you have any planets in Libra, particularly around 1 degree. 

Libra is greatly concerned with balance and harmony, because of this, it is a great time to bring any part of your life that needs it, back into balance. If you've been spending too much time on one area of your life and not enough time on some other areas, than you may have been feeling out of balance and frustrated lately. If you have indeed been feeling that way, then now is the time to manifest some harmony, peace and balance back into your life! Libra is also concerned with beauty. This means that if you want to 'beautify' anything in your life, now is a great time to do that as well. If you feel like your home needs a makeover, or you've been wanting to change your hairstyle or something along those lines, now is a great time to do those things. Beauty isn't always on the outside though. If your thoughts have been negative and you've realized that you've been attracting a lot of negativity in your life because of it, then now is a great time to decide to 'beautify' your thoughts as well. If you do so, then you can naturally attract more beautiful and positive circumstances into your life! Relationships are another area of life which Libra is greatly concerned with. This means that it could potentially be a good time to start a new relationship or to date. If you are currently in a relationship and it needs to be rebalanced, then now is a great time to try to make your relationship more harmonious and fair. 

Libra is also concerned with justice, so if you have been treated unfairly or are even perhaps going through a court case of some kind, then now is also a great time for situations to turn out fairly and justly for you. 

There isn't a lot particularly going on with the New Moon, such as aspects and what not, but there is a lot going on around it. The first day of Autumn for instance, is the day before the New Moon and also on the first day of Autumn, Pluto finally turns direct after being retrograde. Both of these events add to the energy of new beginnings and manifesting new things. When Pluto was retrograde we had to turn inwards and decide on transformation that needed to happen in our lives and we may have done some 'inner' work as well. Now that Pluto is direct we can use this energy to transform our lives, which is great that this happens right at the New Moon. The New Moon therefore is filled with the energy of a new season, new beginnings, harmony, balance, beauty, and transformation. That sounds pretty wonderful and powerful, doesn't it?
