Libra New Moon Solar Eclipse
October 14, 2023
What’s it all about?
The Libra New Moon each year brings an opportunity for engendering more diplomacy and making fresh new starts in relationships both near and far.
Whether you’re looking to start a new relationship, or negotiate a new business agreement, the Libra New Moon always brings renewal in relationships and helps us all get along better on planet earth.
The scales of lady justice are the symbol of the zodiac sign of Libra. Ruled by the planet Venus, the planet that governs love, beauty, and money. Libra’s new cycle will elevate your love for art and supports the development of more refined sensibilities.
The astrological aspects occurring now are very auspicious for healing old grievances. Positive developments in relationships/agreements can be forthcoming over the next six months if opportunities available at this time are embraced.
Fall Eclipse Season
We are in the heart of the fall eclipse season. Though the energies will be felt intensely during this span of time, the ramifications of what is initiated now will continue to unfold over the next six months, or more.
Libra Personality
Libra natives tend to be extroverted, friendly and sociable people. They thrive on balance and fairness. Aesthetics, beauty and art are especially important to them. They have oodles of charm and charisma and make great sales people.
Libras are well suited to building large networks with friends and business associates, alike. They feel at ease when mingling with strangers and love to persuade others to their way of thinking and seeing. Libras are usually known to excel at whatever they undertake and are leaders in their chosen field of influence.
Libra natives do not like extremes, or conflict. One of their weakest character traits is their tendency to be fickle and indecisive, as well as co-dependent. Because Libra’s worst fear is being alone, they may choose to stay in unhealthy, abusive relationships for far too long. Libra individuals can too often forgive, then forget the lesson learned, when it’s unwarranted. We are destined to repeat past mistakes when we fail to learn from them and make course corrections.
Libras like to keep peace at all costs. In order to avoid hurt feelings, or altercations with others they can exhibit passive aggressive tendencies to get what they want. They can also justify outright lying to others sometimes to avoid disagreements.
What’s Up in Your Chart?
Tips for how the Libra New Moon can affect you personally.
Everyone has the Libra New Moon influence in one, or more areas of their chart. Here are a few areas of your chart where you can experience the Libra New Moon influence:
- What house are the Libra New Moon and transiting planet Venus located? These are the areas of your life where you will feel the greatest influence at this time.
- Venus, the lover of the zodiac, rules the sign of Libra. Venus rules both the 7th (Libra house) and the 2nd (Taurus house). Your personal love energies may be set for a recharge, renewal and resurgence.
- You are in the process of communicating your own deepening sense of self-worth at this time. You want mutual relationships that provide healthy mirroring and support. Your tolerance level will be low for anything less than getting your own emotional needs for love (represented by the Libra moon) met at this time.
- What personal planets, or points are located in your 7th and 2nd houses? Do you have any easy flowing, or hard aspects to these houses from one or more of your personal planets, or points? The easy flowing aspects offer support and protection to your feeling of esteem and recognition in the world. While harsh aspects will augment the challenges presented at this time.
- What house is your natal Venus located in your personal astrology chart? If you have harmonious contacts from your personal planets to your natal Venus then you will feel more supported at this time. You may want to lean into the energy symbolized by these harmonious aspects to your natal Venus for support.
- You can also take note of whether your natal Venus is being nicely aspected by current transiting planets.
- If there are stressful contacts to your natal Venus, you’ll want to take note of this. Challenging aspects give you an opportunity for growth and change. Remember to always let yourself be guided to the best course of action.
- Libra is a cardinal sign, so you may need to be the one to take the lead in ushering in the changes you need at this time. You’ll want to take control of your love life and direct matters in a way that honors and respects you and your feminine impulse to exchange love mutually with others.
- The moon moves quickly through each sign and house, so whatever happens though it may leave a lasting impact upon your psyche the emotions will be transient. You may feel overly intense and emotional at the Libra New Moon. There can be a real urgency, or even desperation for things to change regarding your personal love exchanges. Best to let your emotions settle before acting. Wait for taking action until you feel calm and grounded, not in a triggered emotionally reactive state.
- Of course, because we are in the fall eclipse the timing of events that unfold now may not be entirely in your hands. What is scheduled to change will change at the right time.
- This is a tremendous time for taking charge of your love life. You want love that is mutual, not one sided.
