Happy Libra New Moon! New moons are new beginnings and this one will highlight balance, beauty, design, aesthetic, peace, cooperation, and partnership! As Libra is the sign of one-on-one relationships, this new moon may also bring opportunities to add harmony to our existing relationships over the coming lunar cycle. The new moon will be exact on September 24, 2014 at 2:14 am EDT and 1 degree Libra.
In astrology, the first degree of the cardinal signs — Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn — has a lot of mojo bundled up in it. It’s the four directions, the points that align to the start of a new season. And here we have a new moon just a day after the equinox and Pluto direct! Translation? Get ready for a change of season and a powerful new beginning in your life, especially in anything related to partnership, collaboration, and cooperation. Libra is marriage, too. What are you joining forces with over the coming two weeks?
But here’s the thing. If we use a fancy astrology technique called derived houses, Venus, the ruler of the new moon, is hanging out in the 12th House of the new moon. I know, you’re like, what? But hear me out. The 12th House is the last house in a chart. It represents not only the end of a journey, but the space where physical matter dissolves back into spirit. It’s a very mystical house. It’s our memories, our unconscious mind, and karma.
Within this new beginning is a look towards the past and the sense that as we step into a new season there are things we must say goodbye to. And if you’re looking for new romantic partner in your life, what’s in your psychic closet that needs to be cleared out first? Think of this as a little spring (or autumn) energetic and emotional cleaning. Add a dash of Pluto direct and its more of a purge.
Venus is on the threshold of Libra, however, poised to come home on September 29. While the journey has been long, we’re so close to the end. Think of the next two weeks as tying up loose ends and getting ready for a wild ride of a lunar eclipse in Aries on October 8. In fact, with two eclipses ahead, circle October on your calendar. It’s chockablock with dynamic astrology — a grand fire trine, Mercury Retrograde, a lunar eclipse conjunct Uranus, a solar eclipse in Scorpio. In the meantime, make time for beauty, peace, and harmony. It’s Libra’s gift to us all.
