The Libra New Moon September 25th brings an opening for Beauty, Balance, Grace, Peace, Justice, and fair play. This phase sets the stage for new starts concerning your connections, bonds, partnerships and agreements. You could be called on in matters involving your participation, contribution or cooperation so that everyone is given a fair shake and their just dues.
Things begin to level out during this period, coming on the heels of the Equinox, starting from within, as several Celestial Bodies are in retrograde motion, Mercury, your mind and perception, Jupiter, your Truth, Judgement and Evolution, Saturn, your boundaries and responsibilities, Uranus, your inner genius and ability to do things differently, change and instability, Neptune, your vision and intuition, blind spots and self-imposed prisons, Pluto, your power and passion, matters of control or obsession and your ability to rise from the depths reborn and renewed and Chiron, your sore spots, triggers and vulnerabilities. All of these areas are closer to the surface for examination, introspection, evaluation, release and recalibration.
The last couple of weeks may have been super intense as the squabble between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus moves towards the final blow in mid-October. Not only that, but other bodies joined in the melee causing an awful lot of tension and frustration, feeling as if you’re pulled in four different directions at once, seemingly without an outlet and nothing would budge - Especially for the Fixed Signs Leo, Aquarius, Taurus and Scorpio- but everyone experienced to some degree.
Jupiter is retrograde in Aries, sitting across the sky opposite the New Moon, suggesting that something is gaining momentum and tipping the scales.
This influence further emphasizes the Law, Justice, and what’s Right, putting legal matters, courts, judges, and lawyers in the spotlight. Perhaps, you’re going back and forth in negotiations or weighing options before coming to a decision, agreement or settlement. Jupiter in Aries has strong personal beliefs and is willing to fight for what’s right, although there may be strong opinions about exactly what that means, and what the right course of action is. Things could get heated and there could be a whole lot of hoopla to sway deliberations, negotiations, determinations and decisions. You may be forced at this time to consider all sides of an issue and beliefs that run counter to your own.
Or it could be that you’re branching out in new areas now, wanting to reach out to others, to develop and enhance your relationships and contacts, going beyond the ordinary and everyday exchanges, giving a more meaningful and connected feeling.
Venus, the ruler of this Libra New Moon, is coupled with Mercury retrograde in Virgo, while facing Neptune retrograde across the sky in Pisces, and connecting with Pluto retrograde in Capricorn, giving the space to take another look at a situation, to reassess and reevaluate so that your heart and mind are aligned. It’s as if you didn’t have all of the pieces of the puzzle before, and now, whatever’s been blocking you or standing in your way, keeping you from seeing clearly, is no longer an obstacle, the veil has been lifted. The Universe is giving you the opportunity to sift it out, correct mistakes and put it all together so that you can come to a better understanding arriving at a more informed and heartfelt resolution or conclusion.
You’ll be busy poring over and sorting out the details and particulars of previous information, communications, conversations, texts, emails, data, reports, evidence, intelligence, links and connections etc. with a fine-tooth comb as there are some unknowns to be known. Things are revealed now that maybe you were in the dark about, or that were happening behind the scenes, unbeknownst to you, hidden or concealed. Or maybe there’s clarity on something confusing, or that you hadn’t considered before, or something that’s been misleading or dishonest, or perhaps there’s something that was missing, misplaced, omitted, deleted or erased that’s recovered. Now you’re able to see the bigger picture and make it make sense and it’s a game changer.
Mars in Gemini connects favorably with Saturn in Aquarius suggesting that you’re mobilizing around your plans, making multiple moves aimed toward your far-sighted finish, putting in the time and effort to your ends. This influence can bring about direct communication, as you’re urged to speak your mind. This period can also give form to some of your wilder schemes.
You could be doing an advertising or marketing campaigns, new website, podcast or broadcast or putting out a message on social platforms, reaching out, communicating and connecting with others, forming grassroots communities or movements. Alternatively, there could also be a communication breakdown, internet outages or blocked messages.
Keep in mind that Mercury is retrograde until October 3rd so it’s not the perfect time to launch something new, as with Mercury retrograde there can be glitches and a chance of cloudy communication, but something that’s been in the works for a while or revisiting plans or a project that’s been on the backburner is good to go.
Mars will retrograde October 30th remaining in Gemini through mid-March – putting an emphasis on mental stimulation and spirited conversations, activating the Throat Chakra and boldly speaking what’s on your mind. This is on the go energy, lots of movement and multitasking. There’s also goings on with an emphasis on news, media, social media, information, chatter, gossip, stories, narratives and spin.
The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon reads, “the dawn of a new day reveals everything changed” signaling that yesterday’s gone and suddenly, new beginnings are in the air, while nodding to our New Earth, where Peace, Love, Justice, Equality, co-existence and co-creation is the new normal. WE ARE doin’ this thing!
New Moon Blessings and Good Vibes to ALL!
