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 and positive developments seem forthcoming over the next six months.

Planetary Harmonizers

• The Libra new moon is Trine to Saturn in Aquarius signaling new visions for the future being born/given form.
• The Libra new moon is Conjunct to both Mars (the planet of energy & action) and Mercury (the communicator/connector) just beginning to slow down to station Direct on the 18th. When a planet slows down its influence/effects can be felt more strongly.
• The Libra new moon is Trine to Jupiter (the planet of expansion) in Aquarius. Jupiter is also starting to slow down and will Station Direct on the 17th.
• Pluto Stations Direct today. The outer planets have all been retrograde for some months now and progress forward has been sluggish, but now we see the tide turning and significant change is beginning to take place.

Fly in the ointment

There are two pesky flies in the ointment happening at the Libra new moon. More irritating than having any long term effect, these inconjunct aspects can bring nuisances like jealousy from detractors, superficial criticism and passive aggressive tendencies (all negative traits of a bruised Libra ego).

This Libra New Moon brings a new cycle and can help us all breathe easier. Hopefully, tensions will ease worldwide and we’ll all be getting along better.

The holidays are just ahead! This year looks promising for the more traditional gatherings with family and friends that we ALL Love!

So much possibility for new connections and expansion of love relationships and making agreements. This is a great time to start a new romance, or recommit to one you’re in. Business affairs and associations get a fresh impulse of energy. As Mercury is retrograde you may want to wait to sign any ‘new’ agreements, or contracts until after Mercury stations Direct on October 18th. Same for new relationships wait to see how things unfold before giving your heart away.

Essential Oil to Use: Ylang Ylang

What you will need:

• A white candle
• Essential oil or blend - use one of the recommended oils, or blend of oils
  

Make sure you are in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed.

Light your white candle and inhale the scent of your essential oil. You can also scent your space prior to your meditation using an aroma diffuser.
