Here is recap from our new moon newsletter sent out on October 5th…
Tomorrow morning, at 4:05AM PT, the moon is reborn in the sign of the scales. The winds of the Libra new moon begin to fill our sails and move us forward through the spooky waters of October. After much slowness and stagnation, we finally have momentum propelling us towards new territories. Four planets are turning direct this month, including Pluto on the day of the new moon.
Mercury is still retrograde until the 18th, but is making some big moves. During these next couple weeks, we may be busy investigating, searching or waiting for important results. Mark October 9th as an important turning point towards clarity. Our minds may be in overdrive and a tad agitated as Mercury joins Mars, however, so make sure to set aside time for meditation or other mindfulness practices.
The new moon occurs alongside Mars, and plants the seed of our conflicts, passions and negotiations to come.
We may find ourselves speaking our minds more than usual, but with a congenial silver tongue. In the sign of Libra, we may feel hindered to fight for our personal needs as we strive to accommodate others. A hidden irritation or resentment may result if we compromise too much. If we find ourselves attempting to please everyone in a particular situation, our progress is made slow and unsatisfying.
All four planets in Libra are now squaring a forward moving Pluto in Capricorn. Whatever we are beginning on this new moon is unearthing and intensifying some powerful tension. We are no longer satisfied with the status quo and we want to dig deeper. A hidden secret may be revealed as we look beyond the veil. As we go deep into the underworld, a load of stress may prompt us to seek the comforts of balance and resolution. Some conflicts, however, are unavoidable. Sometimes we must fight for the peace and harmony we seek.
Over this next lunar cycle, we are flexing our negotiation muscles and using our skills of persuasion.
We are striving towards the Libra vision to create more beauty, harmony, pleasure, and justice.
Our efforts may not be realized right away, but can expect to see progress in the coming weeks. Jupiter will be sending us good news, wise counsel, and support.
Saturn stations direct on the 10th, and is soon followed by Jupiter on the 17th. This powerful combo reignites the Aquarius side of our lives. We will feel a renewed support and forward momentum in this particular area of our charts. I've highlighted below where the action is likely to occur for each sign.
