#new moon in libra

[psychelis-new]

reminder that new moon in libra is working still: it brings closure and new beginnings in relationships and may hint on things you may need to work on yourself (check also where libra is in your chart). it gives us a lot of clarity about our emotions so if things seem a bit heavy in your heart these days, it's okay: take a breath and go slow. take care of you and be gentle with yourself.

reminders that solar flares these days may have made you feel imbalanced too (they do not just interact with energetic objects but with our energy too): so really take time for yourself and go slow. try to stay as grounded and present as you can.

new moon SOLAR ECLIPSE 21 libra

normally new moons are times to set intentions. you will see a lot of warnings against this during an eclipse. the reason is that the energy is extremely volatile. this much is true. however, i posit that sometimes you only know what you want, you don't know how to get there or how much better it could be than that. letting go of control so chaos can take over can prove beneficial, but it is not for the faint of heart. if you are afraid, don't set intentions, but do be aware the universe might set some for you!

either way be careful to regulate your nerves, care for your skin, and because libra rules the skin and kidneys especially, hydrate as well as possible.

not everyone is as prepared as you so interactions may be fraught. try to proceed with patience and compassionn.

Happy new moon 🌑 in Libra ♎️/ solar eclipse (ring of fire 🔥)

This is a potent time of releasing to receive new beginnings. Letting go of old habits, patterns, ways of relating that could be causing harm or stagnation. A focus on relationships, self care, beauty, money, creativity etc. But especially since this moon connects to the south node currently: there may be past issues brought up to be looked at and addressed. Libra is a balancing sign, so we must weigh things carefully on the scales ⚖️. Any past relationship issues can be closed out and released at this time. Closing out cycles and karmic patterns. Eclipses can bring some heavier energy at times, forcing us to look at the shadow side of ourselves, so it’s also a good time to get some rest and take time in processing and reflecting on current changes. And especially when it comes to love and how we express it in our daily lives. How do you love ❤️ and want to be loved in this life?

May this be a potent time of renewal 🍂🍁✨🧚🏼🧡🍇 and joy.

Energy Update: Solar Eclipse 21° Libra, 10/14/2023

Note: I've talked about eclipses many times before. I am going to make reference to past posts but try not to cross over too much of the same ground again. Please reference this post for more information.

On Saturday 10/14, we will experience a partial solar eclipse at 21° Libra. This is our first solar eclipse since the lunar nodes switched to the Aries-Libra axis during the month of July. In this way, this is a highly significant lunar event that will set the tone for the eclipse seasons to come over the next two and a half years.

The Set Up

October is an "8" month in a "7" year. During the eclipse, the Sun, Moon, and Mercury will be conjunct in Libra, Venus will be in Virgo, Mars in Scorpio, retrograde Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus, retrograde Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and Pluto in Capricorn. The asteroid Chiron is sitting in conjunction with our North Node in the sign of Aries. All of our outer planets will be in retrograde motion except for Pluto who stationed direct the Tuesday beforehand.

There are a number of transits in play during this lunar event:

Stellium: Sun, Moon, Mercury, and the South Node in Libra (5° orb)

Solar eclipse square Pluto in Capricorn (6° orb)

Mercury in Libra opposed to Chiron in Aries (01° orb)

Venus in Virgo opposed retrograde Saturn in Pisces (04° orb, exact Tuesday)

Mars enters Scorpio (Thursday)

Mars in Scorpio trine retrograde Saturn in Pisces (01°, exact Friday)

Pluto stations direct 27° Capricorn (Tuesday)

Retrograde Neptune in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn

Chiron conjunct the North Node in Aries (7° orb)

When determining the significance of transits, one should consider the most exact transits and all transits involving the lunar event to be highly significant. Second to that, we take into account aspects to our personal planets. Outer planet aspects will color the general feel of the day but will, for the most part, not impact our individual lives.

In this way, we should note a strong opposition between the stellium of our Sun, Moon, Mercury, and the South Node in Libra and Chiron and the North Node in Aries. Additionally, both Venus and Mars are in aspect with Saturn, our planet of restriction and boundaries.

The Nitty Gritty

This solar eclipse will have mixed energy as it combines the energy of new beginnings from the new moon with endings due to its conjunction with the South Node. There is a lot of pain close to the surface which may be stopping us from stepping forward into the new beginning that we are looking for (Chiron conjunct the North Node). This is your cosmic reminder that pain isn't always the STOP sign that we think it is, but instead is more of a check engine light.

Pain tells us that there is something that needs attention.

You may be holding on to something too tightly. Both Venus in Virgo and Mars in Scorpio will be in tight aspect with retrograde Saturn all week. Saturn is often known as the planet of restriction, but this is because he is Father Time. Saturn, like the lunar nodes, is closely associated with the concept of fate - but fate very rarely means what you think that it does. Time is relentless, always marching onwards. If the old adage is the only inevitabilities are death and taxes, Saturn controls both. Saturn is the reminder that as time goes on, some of the options that we kept on the back burner slip away.

Every opportunity in your life has a limited half-life. We just can't do everything. Eventually, we need to choose.

That's where the lunar eclipses come in. Everything is a choice; but eventually, if you don't make a choice, the world moves on. There is an element of analysis paralysis at play here (Libra's greatest weakness) - somebody needs to shit or get off of the pot, metaphorically speaking.

Eclipses are the Big Hitter transits of the year - they tend to feel so far beyond us that it can be overwhelming. Sometimes it can feel easiest to run from this energy or to disassociate and hide your head in the sand. That's not an option when Saturn is in play - Saturn demands that you put in the work in your own life.

It won't feel comfortable for anyone, but those who are showing up, who are trying to make changes, who are keeping their eyes wide open and witnessing their own life - those are the people who will shine through this lunation.

This isn't to say that they will be able to control how the eclipses show up in their lives. Eclipses are wild card energy; the best we can do is enjoy the ride. But if you've made right in your life, if you know what you need to let go of and what you need to draw in - you may recognize it when eclipses give you what you need.

The same old eclipse advice is in play here: Stay VERY AWARE of what doors open and close for you during the upcoming eclipses and the two weeks between these lunar events. Eclipses have a way of aligning you toward your life path (astrology is, in essence, a study of who you are and what you were born to experience in this lifetime). This isn't as restrictive an idea as people would like to believe: there is no one way to walk your "life path" - you always have free will and choice. Still, the natal birth chart especially does highlight the parts of life where you will find the most rich and meaningful experiences.

As the eclipse falls on the Aries-Libra axis, we all - collectively and personally - are struggling in some fashion with the conflict between being true to ourselves (Aries) versus being part of the collective (Libra). With Chiron so tightly in play, we can see that pain is close to the surface. You may find yourself questioning some things you were taught as a child by your family, religious group, or culture - especially if you are undergoing a Saturn return, square, or opposition.

Aries teaches us that it is right - even holy - to be our own true selves. The pain of this individualization process is being highlighted by Chiron and the North Node's conjunction in the sign of the Ram. Chiron shows us that it hurts while the North Node reminds us that we should do it anyway. The one person that you always need to be accountable to is yourself. (Libras especially may find that idea triggering)

In a very triggery week, it is worth remembering that triggers can be sacred things too - they show us the parts of ourselves that need attention. If you are in a space where it is safe to do so, try leaning into the pain rather than away from it. There is a lot to uncover in the weeds during this time.

There is no easy this week. Life is just like that sometimes. Practice your very best self-care if you need it. This energy will lift at the end of the month after we go through our eclipsed Scorpio full moon the weekend before Halloween.

⚖️ I trust in the spirits that uphold my understanding of self & others

⚖️ I say what’s right and what’s needed, rather than what’s convenient.

⚖️ I seek to understand rather than judge.

♈︎ Aries: Conversations change your view and opinion about others and yourself this week. Investigating the details and data can help you figure it out for a new start. Deciphering a secret puts your relationships on a new path. Psychic phenomenon, synchronicities, strange coincidences and dreams are prompting you to think more deeply. Note doubles.

Breathing is healing. A new health and wellness routine is worth growing. Body language attracts. A situation between friends can reveal true feelings.

♊︎ Gemini: This is a nice time to enjoy some fun. Learning a new hobby or game, or tapping into talents again or for the first time can get you into a new groove.

♌︎ Leo: Words and opinions that come out of nowhere can really get your mind going, stirring up all kinds of thoughts and feelings. Your ability to sense the emotions of your home and family are also heightened. Being a source of balance and security to others, helps you have the same. Listen and read between the lines. What isn’t said may be even more important than what is said.

♍︎ Virgo: Self love and self care are at the front of the line for you now. Taking care of your body naturally can fly in the face of conventional belief to outsource your body to an external authority. Rebellious fashion choices may suit you. People sticking to beliefs that don’t hold any weight can get under your skin. A fresh idea you hadn’t considered can inspire smarter choices in building and balancing your money and resources.

You have a rebellious streak that asserts your power. What you say can have a strong impact on on who is listening. The eclipse brings you new beliefs.

The way others cooperate in relationships will give you many clues. Peer pressure could get to you, but your own path is the one to be measured for growth.

♑︎ Capricorn: You could feel a strong inner fire of change happening with you this week. Energy in your social life could feel intense. Increased enthusiasm for discovering what is unknown makes you quite a sleuth. Virility is increased. The cooperative approach in your business and career relationships is in focus this week. What truth was revealed? Learn more about natural health and beauty. What are marketing illusions?

♒︎ Aquarius: This week has positive new potential for you. It could be nice to see from a birds eye view. What you believe can manifest. Visualize to see the path. Investigate. Inquire. Ask Questions. Being psychic isn’t for everyone. Explore both sides of issues to get to the truth. Write down ideas that come from your dreams and daydreams.

♓︎ Pisces: How you feel and what you say and do manifests in your relationships. A stubborn view or set of rules can cause rebellion in a loved one. A dream or psychic flash in a daydream could alter your way forward. What you think is set to change which pushes you in a new direction. Expect what was unknown to become visible now.

Thank you for being a friend.

Capricorn Taroscope for New Moon in Libra

The New Moon can be inspiring for setting goals that our mind, heart, and soul truly need. The energy of the New Moon in Libra brings balance, harmony, and diplomacy, inviting us to look at relationships in a new light and strive for inner peace as well as cooperation with others.

1 External factors, the energy surrounding Capricorn: Queen of Wands + The Fool The energy around you is intense, possibly with a sexual undertone. There may be a strong feminine figure adding dynamic energy to your life. It might feel exciting but also chaotic and untamed, as if events are happening beyond your control. The Fool highlights a sense of being lost in this situation – you may fear making mistakes or feel uncertain in the face of new challenges. Some of you might even experience a brief connection that leaves you feeling unstable. Despite the fiery impulses brought by the Queen of Wands, you internally feel the need to find balance and direction.

2. What is out of harmony within me? 5 of Cups You might be stuck in sadness or grief, avoiding the difficult emotions that need to be processed. It may feel comfortable to remain in this state, as it is familiar to you. It’s a situation where, paradoxically, the sorrow can feel safe simply because you know it, while change brings discomfort.

3. What steps should I take to heal my inner self? 3 of Pentacles Focus on long-term goals. It might be important now to move forward step by step, creating something stable and lasting. Working on something together with others (or alone) will give you a sense that your efforts are being appreciated.

4. What parts of my personality need acceptance? The Chariot + 6 of Wands Your determination and persistence are qualities you can be proud of. You are respected and valued by others, so now it’s time to accept your achievements and see yourself in a more positive light. Trust your judgement.

5. What thoughts do I need to release to regain peace? The Tower It’s time to cool down. Also gaining control over negative instincts will help you regain balance.

6. What New Moon intentions will help me achieve inner harmony? 9 of Swords Reversed + Knight of Swords + Ace of Pentacles Reversed You need to calm your mind and organize your thoughts. You may not be ready for some of the changes that are coming. 9 of Swords Reversed suggests that you need to distance yourself from the mental noise and fears overwhelming you. Separate yourself from people who overwhelm you.

Oracle card: Midnight Rose - Confidence, Listen, Guidance

This is actually a good accompaniment to Tarot. Listen to your intuition, because now is the time when you get clues and your psychic senses are high.

Solar Eclipse in Libra (10°)

October 2, 2024

During the solar eclipse on October 2nd, we will be dealing with some serious astrological weather. If you did not know, the solar eclipse is a new moon with a south node conjunction. A new moon is when the sun and the moon are conjunct with a 0° orb. The north node is opposite this lunation which makes the south node also form a conjunction with the new moon. This solar eclipse in Libra is going to force us to finally reach some balance. We are itching to shed the loose skin and the dead weight that is holding us back from progressing. The idealistic nature of Libra keeps us wanting to explore and experience more. By this time you know what your innermost desires are, and we all know the next step is action. Mars in cancer is in a square with all this energy, so my advice is to not let your timidness and insecurity hold you back. Time has come for the things in your life that does not serve you to be left behind. Let go of your limiting beliefs and the relationships that are not fit for where you are going. This is not the time to be fickle and get in your head about decisions that you know need to be made. When you fight the flow you will cause some major inner strife and resentment. As the wind rises, you try to live. Do you live for yourself or do you live for others? Major transformation is on the horizon, make the correct decision to not fight it. We all wish for abundance and prosperity, and to accept this we must make space for it.

Solar Eclipse in Libra 🌞🌚

On October 14, there will be a Solar Eclipse in Libra. Eclipses can shake us up, but bring endings and beginnings that are much needed. We could be considering our connections with others and the balance in our lives during this time.

Eclipses can open a door that was shut, bring news of huge life events, or could lead to a major turning point in your life. Eclipses will try to get us to pay attention to the areas of life that need change.

News can be delivered in a dramatic or strange way. Learn, investigate, and don’t ignore it. Take any messages, whether they are big or small, that you get from an Eclipse as non-negotiable and firm. The Eclipse wants you to have a new experience, so be open to change.

A Solar Eclipse occurs around two weeks before a Lunar Eclipse. News or events related to the Eclipse may not happen on the day of the eclipse itself, but within the week leading up to it. Think back to what happened within the month. We could find out that our Eclipse news came early.

If we suffer under an Eclipse, we should be patient and open-minded. If we don’t like where we end up, we can make changes, but they cannot be backtracking. Eclipses are there to illuminate something in our life. It is there to protect and help us. Always be grateful for the truth, even when it’s hard.

Read more about Eclipses in general here.

The New Moon brings fresh energy into our lives, and this time, since it is in Libra, it brings fresh energy to our relationships. It’s a great time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of Libra, such as establishing more harmony in our environments, establishing a sense of order and balance in our lives, and recognizing the value of partnership. 

But as a Solar Eclipse, this New Moon packs a lot more punch. Eclipses arrive in pairs, and when they shift, we get fresh lessons, experiences and surprises. This Eclipse is the second set that is occurring along the Aries-Libra axis, from April 20, 2023 - March 29, 2025. The first was a Solar Eclipse in Aries, focusing on building our independence and working on assertiveness since April.

On October 14, the Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Libra will bring a six-month cycle of growth surrounding our relationship dynamics and finding balance in our life. This will be a chance to make changes that bring peace and beauty as the end result.

This Eclipse will allow us to let go of connections that are no longer serving us. We will also be letting go of anything that is limiting our relationship dynamics. We can let go of outdated expectations about art, fashion, justice and love. We can discard any interpersonal habits that are no longer serving us, particularly things like being overly accommodating of others and having an excessive reliance on others. 

From always going with our friend’s idea of where to eat to smiling through conversations that crush our spirit, we will be asked to identify where we’re too tied up with other people’s agendas and cut those ropes. Letting go of our preconceived notions about relating to others will allow our systems to evolve more smoothly. This Eclipse reminds us that our interactions with others function better when we own our wants, needs and preferences. When we conceal our truths, we lose the chance for real intimacy. This will allow us more room for us to build bonds that align with our true desires, passion and strengths. 

We may feel compelled to change our routine, which could lead to new solutions and new or innovative ideas, or on personal experience and observation. 

Both our Solar Eclipse in Libra and Lunar Eclipse in Taurus are Venus Ruled. We have just had a Venus Retrograde where we learned some of our lessons about relationships and life’s pleasure. Venus is all about value, money, and how we love. We will notice where playing nice has contributed to power imbalances and notice issues surrounding women’s rights, gender and LGBTQ community, which could inspire us to summon bravery and firepower on behalf of meaningful causes.

With this chaotic energy mixing in with our more gentle and compassionate areas, it could feel confusing. Look out for unneeded arguments, self-sabotage, and financial problems. Balancing these areas, staying grounded and firm in boundaries, and keeping communication open will help us to make it through.

Throughout the weeks following, we will have some other things to look out for that might integrate into our Eclipse lessons. The following weekend Mercury will move into Scorpio, where reassurance will be important, so we should keep lines of communication open when it comes to our closest relationships.

Right before the Lunar Eclipse, the Sun is moving into Scorpio. This mysterious energy can bring up secrets. Don’t go looking for more than necessary. What is important will come to the surface. Focus this powerful energy on yourself.

A Lunar Eclipse paired with the Full Moon in Taurus hits on October 28, beginning an emotionally intense cycle. Our unmet or ignored needs might come forward, leaving us in a crisis of sudden awareness about these things. We might want to act fast, but need to look at the signs around us before we do to find a steady path, rather than lashing out in anger. We will dive more into this Lunar Eclipse in the coming weeks.

It might be worth looking back at what happened the last time there was an Eclipse in Libra. Find themes that surrounded our life back then to get a better understanding of what this Eclipse might mean for us. A Solar Eclipse at the same degree of Libra occurred on October 14, 2004. An Eclipse set along the Aries-Libra axis more recently occurred from 2013-2016.

Whatever rises to the surface, whether it is emotional distress or difficult conversations with someone close to you, don't make snap judgments or decisions. The best way to refresh will be to slow down and tune into what we need moment by moment. We should leave room in our schedules for breathing room against unforeseen events. Refrain from big decisions until after Eclipse season, if possible. Clean, purge and release.

While we’re met with reflection and transformation, it will leave us feeling drained. We will need to reevaluate our life’s balance. Rest and relax as much as possible during this Eclipse weekend. The best thing to do is lay low and allow the universe to work its magic.
