What does it all mean?
- Libra has a need for balance, indicating this moon period may be an ideal time to implement some into our daily lives.
- A desire for justice may be present, dealing with issues that have upset our sense of justice may prove to be productive.
- Diplomacy is likely to be more apparent during the next few days, and may be a good time to bring up that topic you have been putting on the back burner.
- Hesitation is probably going to raise its head, we may see many sides of a story and find it difficult to make up our minds.
- Difficulty in making commitments or long-term decisions, because we can’t make up our minds. If this is the case perhaps wait a few days until the move has moved out of Libra.
- Libra is happiest when in a relationship or partnership. Indicating this may be a good time to begin one. :)
- Co-operation should be in the air, making this an ideal time to make plans with others.
- May be a good time to improve our appearance and surroundings.
- May be great time to go bargain hunting,
- This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
- Moon in Libra,
- Sun in Libra,
- Venus in Libra
- Moon in 7th house,
- Any aspects to the Moon or Venus
- Any Aries/Mars chart influences
NEW MOON…
October 10 @11:50 am (ET) @8:50 am (PT)
The new moon will increase the influences listed above.
-
Traditionally the New Moon is said to be the best time to begin any new projects, relationships or jobs…
-
New relationships could be formed now, along with new business partnerships being formed. This is good news, in today’s sometimes bleak outlook. However, jumping head first into anything new that involves emotional/financial commitment is not recommended. If something feels off, take note, if the guy or gal seems “out of this world” he/she may well be. 😁
-
Venus went into retrograde motion on October the 3rd, in the sign of Scorpio. Venus will remain in retrograde until November 13 ending up in the sign of Libra, as she backs into that sign towards the end of October.
-
Venus rules Libra., due to Venus’s retrograde motion, and because this combination represents relationships and partnerships, this particular New Moon may not be the best time to commit oneself regarding new relationships/partnerships.
-
Going “backwards” means going over things that have already occurred. Sometimes, we aren’t aware that things have occurred, or we may have missed an opportunity. The retrograde motion gives us a chance to learn from past “mistakes”, to correct negative behaviour patterns, to have an honest look at ourselves, and in this instance, how our behaviours prop up or deter our daily relationships/partnerships .
-
Retrograde Venus is visiting with the sign Scorpio during this New Moon, Scorpio is very intense, secretive and can be jealous. It would be wise to take care in our daily interactions under this new moon’s energy.
The Moon and Astrology
&
HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES…
In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :)
The Moon Void-off-Course:
There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon… Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.
- Cancer
- Taurus
- Sagittarius
- Pisces…
Opportunity Periods (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):
There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods. astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.
