Just a few steps into Libra season, we are celebrating the new moon. With this moon taking place within the same week of the Fall Equinox/Mabon, we continue to see how the scales are being balanced. This Venusian air sign has the best of both words; beauty and intellect. As we look for new inspiration from art, our relationships and abundant opportunities, we are also closing doors in other areas of our life. The harvest season is here and it is time for us to enjoy the fruits of our labour. However no abundantly flowing garden grows without weeds and pests. Which is why it is so important for us to recognize what may be rotting, and blocking new growth from occurring.
The Libra sun and moon form a tight conjunction to both Mercury and Venus in Virgo, ensuring clarity and realistic intentions are set. Not because we do not believe in our capacity, but because we believe in receiving at our full capacity without burning ourselves out. This new maturity protects us from the old illusions of what we may think success is supposed to look like. The planet of transformation and rebirth, Pluto, enhances the energy of these 4 celestial bodies (sun, moon, Mercury, Venus) as a grand trine takes place. The planet of surprises and change, Uranus, connects with Pluto, Mercury and Venus, which further enhances the energy of a new beginning!
Neptune and Jupiter oppose Mercury, Venus, the sun and the moon, which can bring a tidal wave of divinely timed messages, alignment and opportunities that make us feel lucky. Although Neptune can also bring aspects of our shadow back, Mars in Gemini squares off to Neptune in Pisces (as well as Mercury and Venus), to ensure we approach these new offerings with discernment.
It’s okay to be excited about the good things going on, despite the 6 retrogrades going on. There may have been setbacks, but the time to celebrate is now! Do not hold back your gratitude, allow it to shine through, just as brightly as Jupiter does on this special night.
Aries
You may notice some tension in your relationships under this moon, due to miscommunication. Instead of speaking up right away and responding defensively, take a step back and digest what is being shared. Your feelings are completely valid, but so are the feelings of those you love. Instead of matching energy, match the effort. This moon brings a wealth of wisdom, allowing you to maintain your higher self without abandoning your values.
Taurus
This moon takes place under your ruling planet, which ensures new abundance and opportunities are to come. Be careful what you ask for! This new moon may manifest our desires quicker than we expect, which means you’ll have to be ready when they arrive. Let go of anything that creates dis-ease and allow yourself to flow with the current. These new changes are powerful, but that does not mean you have to rush yourself into them, return to your true element!
Gemini
Although this moon is not ruled by your ruling planet, Mercury sits closely to this new moon, which can bring new ideas, intuitive downloads and more. This is an excellent moon for you to work your abundance magic, as the moon does take place in your element (air). Be sure to ground yourself before your work so that you are calling in attainable desires! With the planet of mystery and illusion (Neptune) opposing your planet, the opportunities from this moon can bloom into something more.
Cancer
This moon is all about outgrowing your comfort zone! Which means you’ll have to say goodbye to your old shell in order to make space for the blessings arriving at this time. This moon takes place in your element (cardinal), which creates friction and heat to help you rise up and out of the ashes! Allow yourself to speak up about what you need from your relationships, so that they are tangible for you and allow you to continue to pour into your own cup. Be mindful of boundaries, as they could be tested at this time.
Leo
With the upcoming full moon taking place in your element of fire, this new moon provides a boost of confidence and a recharge of your heart space! As someone who wears their heart on their sleeve, this may look like a time of self care and pulling back from certain connections. This is a time for you to reflect on your relationships and ask the tough questions; does this still feed me joy? By answering these questions, you may find yourself more focused on what matters, your goals! The planet of abundance and luck is expanding your roads for prosperous opportunities.
Virgo
Pending decisions and opportunities that may have been limbo, can start to clear up and take off once more. With your ruling planet’s retrograde still ongoing, consider this a reminder that the only pace you have to move at , is your own! Some things may seem too good to be true, but is this the truth or is this what you’ve convinced yourself of, because the idea of expanding more exhausts you? What would happen if everything you desire manifested tomorrow? You are being called to believe in the vision and hold it close to your spirit, this is how it is brought to life and out of limbo.
Libra
With this moon taking place in your sign, you can expect all of the support from the cosmos at this time. Intuitive downloads and synchronicities can also be heightened. Apply this and your discernment heavily, to ensure you are welcoming in the most aligned intentions for yourself! A fresh restart is taking place now, as you collect your harvest and enjoy the fruits of your labour. However be sure to move with gratitude and not with the [immature] ego. Blessings can be taken away just as quickly as they are manifested! As these blessings show up, keep them to yourself, at least until the retrograde of Mercury is over.
Scorpio
This moon provides clarity which may be delivered as a harsh reality check. But don’t take it so seriously or so personally! You are not being punished but prepared for what is coming. With your season coming up next, this will also be the season of eclipses, taking place on your axis. What re-alignment may be required at this time to ensure a smooth transition and rebirth when your season comes? Take a moment to reflect and recharge so that your magic is as potent as your intention.
Sagittarius
This is an extremely abundant moon for you! Your ruling planet is showing off this week especially, as it is the closest it will be to earth in our lifetime. This means unexpected blessings and growth can take place at this time. Take full advantage of this by taking up all of the space and leaps of faith. As you leap to new grounds, be sure to have a plan for when you land. Dreams without a plan of action, remain in the void.
Capricorn
While this moon takes place in a familiar element (cardinal), you may not be feeling up to planting new seeds. Trust whatever direction your intuition is leading you towards, including rest! Pending plans could start to take off more under this moon cycle, after your vigorous review process of course. Be mindful of how much time you spend “correcting” your past actions, vs the time spent actually creating! It is safe for you to trust this new direction/movement taking place.
Aquarius
With this moon taking place in your element (air), this is a great time for you to plant new seeds for the upcoming months. You are always full of so many ideas, but the hardest part seems to be actually fulfilling them! Take a chance on yourself to see how far you can go, when you get pass the inspiration phase. What made you start to begin with? How can you tap into this energy again? You may need to ask for support (even if it’s just a pep talk!) which is hard at times, what does this say about your circle? Perhaps it’s time for some adjustments.
Pisces
This moon can feel like a full moon for you as both of your ruling planets create strong aspects to a lot of other celestial bodies. These aspects create an enhanced of us on your relationships, your communication and belief in self! As the most intuitive sign, you have a connection to the Divine like no other. However trusting this gift is where your true strength can shine. As new opportunities and important conversations take place at this time, how are you navigating them with the support of your third eye? As a reminder, boundaries do not change simply because the blessings have. Protect what you’ve prayed for!
