The New Moon in Libra is on Friday, October 16 at 12:30pm PDT. This happens at 23 degrees in Libra, so look to your birth chart to see how this will personally affect you (you can get one for free at Astro.com or set up a birth chart reading with me).
When the Sun and the Moon are exact in position at a New Moon, the energy invites us to set new intentions. It is a time of new beginnings. This is amplified at this time with the placement of so many planets in their particular position in Cardinal (initiating) Zodiac signs.
Libra is the Cardinal Air sign with the archetype of the scales. It’s energetic imprint is one of balance, harmony, collaboration and relationships. The Moon Mood at this Libra New Moon is one of inspiration! Pay particular attention to any new ideas that come to you, or a sudden shift in perspective, especially if it is recurring.
Aspects:
Sun exact conjunction to Moon in Libra
Sun and Moon in Libra conjunction opposes Mars in Aries
Sun and Moon conjunction in Libra sextile South Node in Sagittarius
Sun and Moon conjunction trine North Node in Gemini
Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn stellium in Capricorn forms T-square to Sun and Moon in Libra and Mars in Aries
Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn stellium in Capricorn trine to Venus in Virgo
Pluto, Jupiter, and Saturn stellium in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces
Neptune in Pisces opposes Venus in Virgo
Uranus in Taurus opposes Mercury (retrograde) in Scorpio
The placement of the planets and where they are located in the zodiac influences how their energies work with or against each other. And as you can tell from the aspects listed above- wow, do we have a lot of potent energies activated at this lunation!
The planets are coming together to support us in initiating ourselves and a new earth for all of us to benefit from participating in!
THIS is it.
The mass extinction, dying out of old ways which creates space necessary for better ones to replace it.
The mass EVOLUTION is happening!
It is happening for us in our inner worlds, and being reflected in our outer world.
Do. Your. Work.
To counter-balance the T-Square difficulty presented by Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter in Capricorn to Mars in Aries and the Moon/Sun in Libra, (read more about these planets’ influence at the last Full Moon in Aries) we can lean into the support of Cancer.
Turn to the nourishment of water: take a hot bath with Epsom Salt and some of your favorite herbs; go to a body of water- river, creek, ocean, lake; weep and cleanse through your tears; pleasure yourself or someone else and release pent up bodily fluids; exercise and work up a nice sweat; listen to the sound of rain or waterfalls as you drift to sleep.
Again, look to your birth chart to see which house 23 degrees in Libra is happening for you, as this is where you can reflect on what needs to change so you can have more balance in this area of your life. This is an ideal time to create a shift, but only if you’re aware and working with the energy!
