We’re in the balsamic moon as we start the week, the last couple of days before the new moon. As a result, we’re ending something instead of starting something new. It’s time to get quiet and reflect.
The lunar month began on September 6 with a Virgo New Moon and now we’ve come full circle. From this perspective we can see our story more clearly — the work we began, the projects we managed, the healthy initiatives we started. Although with Mercury Retrograde, perhaps we’ve had to go back and look at something from a different perspective.
That said, we’re coming up to the Libra New Moon this week, one that turns our attention more strongly towards relationships and connections, fairness and equity. It also picks up on the energy of Mars in Libra, which means that the next few weeks will be a time of new beginnings and new initiatives.
We’ve actually got a lot of movement in the skies this week. On the same day as the new moon on October 6, Pluto turns direct at 24 degrees Capricorn, bringing deep emotions and feelings to the surface.
Venus also trades Scorpio for adventurous Sagittarius on October 7, which means Libra Season will get a little lighter. Libra and Sagittarius are also two signs with a strong sense of conviction and we may have to stand up for what we believe in or defend our sense of right and wrong in the coming weeks.
Then on October 10 Saturn turns direct at 6 degrees Aquarius, which is a major milestone in our ongoing Saturn in Aquarius story. Time to commit or leave something behind. We may feel like the bar of life is set higher this week. Show Saturn that you’re responsible and that you’ve been learning the lessons.
More on this in my weekly Facebook Live at 6 pm EDT, October 4. You can watch the replay on IGTV, YouTube, or listen on Spotify.
