★ALL New Moons have the strongest effect on us 3 days prior and up to 3 days after★
The Moon is New in Libra at 8°, the sign of the Scales, on Friday, September 30th, at 5:11pm {pdt}
New Moons are a time of starting over, new beginnings, taking action steps towards your dreams and goals, creating and renewal!
This New Moon is connected to the Sun in Libra. Libra is about balance, cooperation, compromise, beauty, art, lightheartedness, socializing, fairness, refinement, relationships and romance. This energy can also be gullible, codependent, lazy, and indecisive.
This New Moon in Libra is conjunct the Sun and both are square Mars & Pluto. There is a need to find compromise and cooperation within your relationships. Power struggles are likely. Fears have a way of creeping in and we could be under the illusion that we can avoid pain and discomfort if we can control the situation or the other person. Of course, we cannot. And trying to do so will only cause more struggle and tension within your relationships. If you are bottling feelings up there will be a push in the days following this New Moon which could have you bursting at the seams. If you’ve been resisting your transformation your emotions could explode now, leaving things in shambles, in order for you to make the progress that you need to. This may not look like progress at first. But, don’t be deceived by appearances. The New Moon in Libra would prefer to keep things on the surface, looking neat and pretty to the outside world. But, masks can only be worn for so long until the need to show your face grows strong.
Are you treating others fairly?
Do you want things your way or no way?
Do you allow yourself to receive what you deserve?
What is the cost of keeping the peace?
“Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.”
With the New Moon/Sun sextile Saturn your desire to stay true, just, and do what’s right is strong. Personal integrity is very important. This aspect helps you to be able to express yourself in a practical and reasonable manner. The Libra moon helps with being tactful and courteous. Although, you may not be super quick to open up completely, unless it’s with a trusted source, you will be able to communicate what is meaningful to you.
Even through any struggles now Jupiter conjunct this New Moon/Sun really helps to keep the faith, stay optimistic, and see the bright side of things. Although, Jupiter’s square to Mars and all of this Libra energy could cause you to want to fall back on what is comfortable, pleasurable, and doesn’t require much work. That would be a mistake. You need to consider both sides and all options. What do you want most? Make a plan and apply yourself. Use patience and be persistent. Take advantage of the charming Libran energy that is available to smooth things over if need be. Nothing good ever came from doing nothing. It might be tempting to sit back and hope everything works out. But, you need to be present and accountable in order to receive your fair share.
Luckily Venus, Libra’s ruling planet, is sextile Neptune increasing imagination, compassion, intuition, and creative energy. It’s easier to pick up on subtleties and to express understanding.
Ultimately, we are in transition, on the fence, finding what works best in your life and relationships. You want to create peace where there is turmoil but first there’s a need to move past the need for control. You want to give, and accept, love and understanding but first there’s a need to love yourself enough to know what is good for you. You want to find the beauty in all of it, the pain, the struggle, the mending back together, but first you must be unconcerned what others will think.
Affirmation:
“The compulsion to like – and be liked by – everybody is totally lifted from me.”
HEALTH
YogaSTARology: Libra is connected to the Low Back and Kidneys.
Exercise: Paschimottonasana
Directions: Begin seated and extend your legs straight out in front of you. It is okay to have the knees bent a little. Sit up tall and lift out of your waist and side body, creating space between the top of your hip points and armpits. Take a deep inhale and fold forward on the exhale, towards your legs. Let the shoulders, arms, head and neck relax forward. Hold this pose for 3-7mins. Breathe deeply through your nose and into your low back.
Please note: If the hamstrings are tight or you feel pulling behind the knees slide a rolled up blanket, towel, or bolster under the knees for support. If when seated it is difficult to sit upright and your body leans back while legs are extended forward, fold up a towel or blanket and sit right on the very edge of it to tilt the pelvis forward.
Benefits: Stretches low back and supports kidneys and bladder.
