On September 28th, we have the New Moon at 5 degrees of Libra. The day or two before a new moon( where we are now) is known as the ” dark moon” or balsamic phase of the moon. The dark moon can conjure up feelings of: uneasiness and isolation. Reason being is we are led by the moon, and when her light is hidden, we seem to lack direction and guidance. As the moon becomes new, this is when we can: begin again and look forward to fresh beginnings and initiations. Libra, the 7th sign of the zodiac, represents: commitment, balance, justice, peace and tranquility.
The New Moon in Libra is here to offer a reset button on how we relate to others and where the balance lies between our individuality vs.our desire for partnership. As the Sun, which rules our: ego, core essence and life force, comes to meet up with La Luna, which rules: our soul, emotions and psychic imprint in the sign of Libra, there is an air of beauty and balance within our inner feminine and masculine sides. The New Moon in Libra, wants to gently guide us to understand and bring attention to our relationships with others and to our own internal connection to ourselves. Themes around fairness and equality will be heightened and brought to the surface. The ruler of Libra, Venus, is currently in her home sign of Libra( and now visible in the evening sky) suggests a powerful and directed energy of support to this New Moon. There is an awareness of what is working inside of our partnerships and of course there also could be a growing awareness of what is not working within our relationships. The balancing of the scales can be tricky. Are we setting healthy boundaries, while still maintaining an open heart of love and acceptance? Are we enriched within our connections or are they stalling our growth and evolution? These are just some of the questions that this airy, and intellectual New Moon could bring up.
The major planetary aspect to the New Moon in Libra, will be the opposition( 180 degree aspect) of retrograde Chiron, the wounded healer, who is in sign of Aries. Chiron, the wounded healer, is an asteroid, which sits between Saturn( the past) and Uranus( the future). Chiron, points to our deepest wound but when we confront this aspect, she becomes our greatest source of healing and inspiration. Chiron in Aries( who is retrograde) opposing the New Moon in Libra, will bring up this identity crisis within our relationships. There is an aspect of our-self that wants to be embraced and healed at this new moon. The crux is this inner “wound” could become very clearly highlighted within our relationships. Are we attracting others from our inner wounds or from our inner healing? This question could bring up an eureka moment of truth and have us face whether we are in these relationships for mutual healing or for validation of shared sorrows. Chiron opposing the New Moon wants to bring this up so we can redirect our intention within partnerships and within our own healing. There is a liberation and freedom available with their opposing viewpoints that this New Moon is here to shed light on.
The New Moon in Libra is here to bring us a chance to recreate the partnership within ourselves and with others in our life. There is a calm and peaceful vibe of compromise and love that wants to come forth. It is important to realize that the relationship with the self is what dictates the external relationships in our lives. We are being asked to find the balance between the two at this New Moon. La Luna, being reborn within the sign of the scales, wants to bring justice to our heart and mind. She wants us to believe in the power of healthy connections that are about equal give and take. The New Moon in Libra wants to awaken within our heart the new seeds of: inner balance, tranquility of the senses, and breakthroughs within all our relationships.
