  • Date: October 9 @4:11am(ET) @1:11am(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Libra 
  • New Moon on Saturday October 10:
  • Moon Phase: 4th. Moves into the 1st on October 11:
  • Void-off-Course: October 10 @ 7.07 pm (ET) 4.07 pm (PT) 

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

NEW MOON…

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.

“Messages from the Rose”

We don’t have a last name for Karen, she was one of our consignment family from when we had our physical store front, many years ago, We are grateful to have retained a deck of Karen’s cards, and we are delighted to share her positive outlook with you all.


Your destination begins with the first step you take

Often we remain unaware of what is truly at stake

The future is in reality, an end result of today

Yet how you manifest the present will hold the ultimate sway

So, take this time to refocus your visions and your current goal

Stay present, where you will begin to operate from the level of the soul.

🙏🌹

God Bless, sending out hugs to whomever may need them today… 💜

  • The Sun moved into the sign of Libra, ♎⚖ on September 22nd @8:0pm (ET) @5:05pm (PT).

  • Libra is ruled by the planet Venus,

  • Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, connected to the 7th house of relationships/partnerships.

  • Libra is about balance, relationships, harmony, getting along… But also about Justice and doing the right thing… While mostly polite and thoughtful, don’t be too fooled by their diplomatic persona, they can be moody, fight the good fight, and when it comes to making important decisions, all sides have to be weighed out… Normally a sensible thing to do, however, sometimes for Libra, it can cause unnecessary stress…

  • Libra’s, while appearing mild mannered, are very intelligent people, ruled by air, they are forever asking questions.

  • Venus is connected to money and all things beautiful, making most Libra’s distasteful of bad manners, icky things or other peoples negative energy.

  • Without our Libra’s who would we have to see both sides of the story? who would there be to create beauty all around us?

     🥰


Happy Birthday Libra…

we wish you all a fabulous year ahead,

filled with laughter, good health and prosperity.

Venus moves into the sign of Scorpio @ 4:07 am (ET) @ 1:07 am(PT). Please click here to see our past post on Venus in Scorpio. Passionate and sensual, Venus in Scorpio is looking for deep connections when it comes to relationships… Superficial flirtations aren’t going to do any good this evening.

Mercury Moves into the Sign of Libra @12:21 pm (ET) @9:21 am (PT). Please Click here to see our past post in Mercury in Libra. Diplomacy is high on the skill set list today, however that may also indicate that decisions are going to take longer to be made. Those who are good at listening may find themselves being sort out today.

Do not nag or nit pick today, just try and go with the flow.

Late evening (September 10) Early Morning (September 11). Lots of nervous energy about for a few hours, making sleep slightly more challenging then usual, our patience may be hard to come by, watch the temper.

  • Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown

Daily Feel for September 11th

The Libra energy will have us feeling romantic and perhaps a little bit “giddy”… we can be temperamental with our actions and words, but for the most part a harmonious day is what most of us want, pleasure is on the top of the list and those who revile in the limelight will enjoy some popularity today. Not a good day to trust our intuition though, as what we believe and what is real are two different things. Postpone making important decisions if possible.

Signs most likely affected: Cancer, Libra, Taurus, Aquarius and Aries.                                        Secondary Signs most likely affected: Scorpio, Leo, and Capricorn.

Daily Feel for September 12th:

The warnings of yesterday (11th) remain in effect today. The day begins well, our imagination is working hard, we can come up with original ideas and solutions to numerous challenges. We could be surprised at the way others pay attention to us, it’s nice to be listened too once in a while, making this an ideal day to present idea’s or suggestions. We can get so caught up in one project today, that we forget the time… this is great if we don’t have any other things that need attention… as the day wears on, our minds could become “foggy/hazy” which could induce confusion or misunderstandings, so best not commit to anything or sign anything legal today, if it can be helped. For a few hours today, we could be feeling “blue” or perhaps we are trigged into feeling lonely, we can’t get the support that we need, and it’s bringing in all the other negative thoughts.. Luckily as the afternoon wears on, that heavy energy should shift, and we can find joy in the simpler things… it is not a good day to share our deepest secrets, as those receiving them may not have the same principals as you. Great day for researching or learning something that’s you have been meaning to check out.

Signs most likely affected: Libra, Aquarius, Aries, Gemini and Leo                                                Secondary Signs most likely affected: Sagittarius.

  • Click Here to see our past post of the transiting Moon in Scorpio.

Daily Feel for September 13th:

Mid morning as the moon goes void of course our thoughts might not move along quite as quickly as we would like. Our emotions are a challenge to settle which may induce some emotional reactions, take care not to allow impulsiveness rule the day, take a deep breath and count to 10 before responding. Ignore petty annoyances and frustrations, there is likely no solution and “poking the bear” will only make things worse. Our imaginations are working well, enabling us to come up with innovative solutions to ongoing challenges. Teamwork, supportive networking are on the agenda today, if you can, make good use of this time to make connections. Stimulating conversations and meeting unique people makes for a happy day. External triggers or forced interactions with others may mirror past hurts, a difficult thing to come to terms with, but may present a unique opportunity to break old behavioral “loops”.

Signs most likely affected:  Libra, Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Scorpio and Taurus.                                              Secondary Signs most likely affected: Aries, Aquarius, Capricorn and Sagittarius.

Daily Feel for September 2nd: The day begins a little on the shaky side, lots of nervous energy flying around… perhaps some excitement, take care doing anything in the AM, we can get emotionally distracted or over-sensitive about things.. Take a deep breath and just remind yourself that “Rome was not built in a day”. Check what and to whom you make promises, and when others offer them to you, it’s best to take them with a pinch of salt, the intentions are good, but the follow through likely won’t be. Watch for excessiveness, in behaviors and spending. By the afternoon that nervous energy should be settling down a bit, reaching decisions should be much easier, and if you need to convince other’s of the plan or idea, there is a very good chance that you will.

Daily Feel for September 3rd When the Gemini energy kicks in we could be feeling restless, maybe a little bored, feeling like we should be going somewhere or doing something… it might also be a challenge to focus our minds or energy on thing. The good news is, Gemini is very adept at multi-tasking, so if we can just channel the restless energy into constructive energy, a lot could get accomplished today. We are rearing to go intellectually too, excited and enthusiastic about our ideas, we eagerly share them with other, who are bound to get caught up in the positive-ness of it all. Our intuitions are spot on, and our creative drive is in top gear, a wonderful day to get expressive in the craft area… However, some of us may get carried away in our enthusiasm, so take heed if a loved one suggests the idea is a little out of your league. There is a risk of high hopes with unrealistic plans gaining momentum over logic and common sense. Life Area’s most likely affected: Health/hygiene & service, community, daily appointments/errands, entertainment, kids & pets, and relationships/partnerships Signs most likely affected: Pisces, Libra and Aries Secondary Signs most likely affected: Virgo.

Daily Feel for September 4th: It is not the kind of day where matters should be forced; you aren’t going to get anywhere and may just upset someone. While it may be a challenge in some instances, patience is highly recommended today… If we can balance out the energies today, it could turn out to be a productive and positive one… On the one hand, we have some nervous energy floating around, encouraging us towards panic thinking, sort of like being in ‘crisis mode”… However, on the other hand, we have a very cheerful and helpful energy floating around us too… Balance the two energies and viola, we could almost forget about the negatives for whole day. J Some folks may find themselves on the answering end of a call for assistance, not to worry the experience will be a positive and uplifting one for you and the person/situation in need. Life Area’s most likely affected: Health/hygiene & service, Career & Duty, and friendships, new experiences, unique situations. Signs most likely affected: Gemini, Virgo, Aries, and Leo Secondary Signs most likely affected: Pisces, Libra and Aquarius.

Daily Feel for September 6th: Roll up your shirt sleeves today folks, because it’s “A Work a day” today.. lots can get done. It’s super difficult to shirk our responsibilities, so we may as well get right to them.. Finish off tasks and keep busy, the day will fly by, and at the end of it you are likely to feel a sense of accomplishment, putting up your feet for an evening of well earned relaxation.   Life Area’s most likely affected: Health/hygiene, work/service to and for others, career (could represent health care workers) and travel/visitors from other lands, new studies or learning a of a new craft.                                                                                                                                   Signs most likely affected: Cancer, Aries and Virgo                   Secondary signs most likely affected: Capricorn, Libra and Pisces.
