The New moon is well, new.. she is being reborn so to speak and as such it has been traditionally believed that when the new moon arrives it’s the perfect time to start something… :) so get cracking folks…
When the Moon is void off course leaving major decisions until she has settled into a sign is highly recommended, we sometimes cannot focus on our feelings at this time and may feel slightly “off kilter” where emotional situations are concerned.
Because the New Moon takes a little time to be seen as new, (she spends a little time with the sun first as she moves from the 4th quarter to the 1st quarter) she can be in one sign for a little while then move on to another, or become void off course. She will exhibit some traits of the last sign she visited with, and depending upon how long she is void off course she may also exhibit some traits of the new sign she visits with.
New Moon in Scorpio: Scorpio is intense, she feels everything, sometimes she gets a bit out of hand when it comes to negative feelings of jealousy. When the moon is new it is possibly a more positive time for Scorpio then when the moon is Full and may indicate a renewed sense of motivation and determination. The intensity of Scorpio can be put to good use with the New Moon as she can help us to focus better at the task at hand instead of getting distracted by nonsensical thing. If you have been meaning to do some research now is the perfect time to begin, Scorpio loves investigating and is good at keeping secrets when needed, but watch you don’t get too carried away, Scorpio is always slightly suspicious.
As our Lady becomes full this month at 7:38 at the tail end of Aries, she will also become void off course until she enters into Taurus on October 19 at 3:27 am.
The Full Moon is the perfect time to finish up on projects and get those loose ends sorted out… Traditionally the Full Moon is not the best time to begin new projects… so don’t start a new exercise regime this weekend, chances are you won’t stick with it, wait for the New Moon to pop up again…
The full moon will still carry with her the influence of an Aries moon, but it will be peppered with the influence of the Taurus moon.
The moon in Aries is bold, up for an adventure and not too happy to sit back and let things happen without putting in a word or two no matter who it might upset at the time. Boredom may take a hold regarding projects begun under the new moon and finishing them up now might not look like the most adventurous thing to be doing, but with some effort, encourage and support from others, it’s still possible to get them done. Watch out for starting arguments just to prove your point, or because you are feeling feistier then usual.
The moon in Taurus is sensual and secure at least that’s what she needs now. Its time to spend appreciating nature, listening to good music and eating good food. If change is required now, it’s not likely to go down too well, especially if its change brought about through something or someone beyond your control. Taking care of money issues may be in focus, or you could be unduly worried about a financial or residential situation. If changes do need to take place now against your will, it’s best to “grin and bear it” for the time being, resisting could cause added and unnecessary stress.
This Full Moon is likely to have a stronger effect on those with one or more of the following…
Aries Moon: Taurus Moon: Aries Sun: Taurus Sun: Moon in the 1st house: Moon in the 2nd house: Moon in 12 th house:
Aspects made to the moon will also have a stronger effect on some people. Negative aspects may produce challenging times, whereas positive aspects may produce windows of opportunity.
When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or something, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course…
Lunar Eclipse: October 18 2013 at 7:50 pm: Situations and relationship/partnership issues begun on a Lunar Eclipse may proceed for a longer time or have a stronger influence. It is important then, that decisions made and relationship/partnerships entered into under a full moon lunar eclipse influence should be carefully considered before any commitment is made.
The Moon in Libra is focused on relationships, partnerships and beauty. Libra loves to feel comfortable in her surroundings, making this new moon a fabulous time to decorate the home office or person. Your eye may be drawn to works of art and items that will help your space feel more luxurious or beautiful. It’s easier to compromise with others and hopefully relationships should be moving along smoothly. If you are single the urge to be in a relationship could be stronger, so take care when going out on a date under this influence, all may come up roses’… on the other hand once this influence has passed you may not be feeling the same way about the object of your affections. Take care to watch the budget, especially if you are prompted to make improvements to your living space…
New moon in the 4th quarter. A good time to “draw back” to reflect on past events and what has been (or has not been) accomplished. Time to clear the slate and plan for the New Moon stage.
New Moon in the 1st quarter: Our lady becomes visible 5.5 to 12 hours after ‘her birth” she is delicate but strong, eager to start anew almost with the innocence of a babe she wants to begin again and explore all that she can. This is the absolute best time to begin your new projects, especially any projects or ideas that relate to the home and family. Family is anyone you wish to include which for some may be college’s friends, neighbours and co-workers.
When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or someone, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course…
A solar eclipse can have an influence on us making things, plans, issues and or situations that happen during an eclipse last longer than usual. Sometime’s it’s unavoidable and plans have to be made, ideas need to be put into motion and there are some people we just can’t get away from or do without…. In these cases patience is strongly advised. Our last Solar Eclipse was on May 9 2013.
Those most influenced by this month’s New Moon are those who have the following:
Moon in Libra: Venus in Libra: Sun in Libra: Moon in the 5th house: Sun in the 5th house:
For those who have oppositions or square aspects to the moon, these may prove to be challenging times, if this is the case you are advised not to force issues at this time. For those who have trines or sextiles, these may prove to be opportune times.
In astrology, The sun represents our core being, it is the centre of who we are. Yet it is but a small part of us, as we must take into account the influence on us, from the other 9 “planets” in our present system.
The planet earth cannot survive without the Sun, and so it is with us, no matter how we may try to avoid or “run away” from the traits or our sun sign, they will always be a part of us… :) Every sun sign has positive and negative traits, it’s best to work with the positive and accept the negatives keeping them under control and being aware of them as much as we can.
The Sun in Libra: Air: Cardinal: Masculine: The Scales:
It’s not easy being a Libra, we see both sides of just about every situation. We truly do not like confrontation and because Venus is our ruler, we have a tough time with anything that may be considered “icky”.
Making up our minds is sometimes exhausting and others can become impatient with us.
We try very hard to get along with everyone, but it doesn’t always work.
We see beauty everywhere, we love beauty and will make our surrounding reflect this if and when we can.
While we may not know how to go about making money, we do enjoy it as it brings us the ability to look nice, and to surround ourselves with nice belongings.
Most of us need a partner in our lives, we get along well one on one and have a romantic streak.
We need balance in our life like no other, and when it’s not available we can dive into depression..
We believe in fairness and justice, so much so that we can drive ourselves crazy trying to get others to see what we do, and many a times we are hurt by those who are less than fair.
We are the diplomats of the world and try very hard to “go with the flow”. Yet we aren’t always the nicest of people if you catch us off our scales, we can hurt you with our words and sometimes we can be aggressive when we have reached our limit of caring…
Happy Birthday to all Libra people with special hugs and love going out to the following:
Dustin, Neil Jr. Bev, Marie, Susan, Andrew, Steve C. and Gary… :)
The Moon will not be in any sign as she becomes full but will settle into visit with Aries at 12:58 pm and stay there until September 20 when she will once again become void off course until she changes signs on September 21.
Traditionally the Full Moon is thought to be a good time to finish up projects and bring things to a close.
The Moon in Aries: This could prove to be a challenging time for some. Aries is bold and brave and sometimes gets us into trouble by forging ahead without any thought to consequences. Aries is childlike in his desire to explore, which can put one into troubling or challenging circumstances. It’s easier to speak up when the moon is in Aries, we want to express our feelings and let others know we have had enough or we may simply want to be heard.
Helping us to speak up or put ourselves forward can be a good thing, especially for those of us who aren’t very good at it the rest of the time. Having the moon in Aries also helps us to focus on the self instead of others, which again is good for those who forget to include themselves in their own support network. However, the full moon as we all know can bring about some very odd behaviour in some of us, in fact most of us likely feel more agitated and less patient during a full moon, and indeed the day or so leading up to the full moon and sometimes a day or so afterwards.
Now, if we put the full moon’s influence and Aries in the some room together we could end up with some trying moments. Aries is ruled by Mars, and Mars is the planet of aggression, he is masculine and wishes to assert himself whenever possible. The moon represents our emotional side.
So… it’s a very good idea to take time to monitor our emotions and reactions when these two are together, we may be prone to arguments, impulsive decisions, rushing about (which can cause accidents) and saying/doing things we later regret. Harsh words said now may cause more damage than was ever intended. It’s best to stay away from irritating people, keep to yourself (if you know you are going to be grumpy) and use the Mars energy in positive way, like cleaning out a closet or the car, or participating in sport activity that will tire you out, leaving little energy for negative behaviour.
The Moon in the 2nd quarter: This is the time when we want to finish up our projects and feel the satisfaction of doing so. It can be a time of personal development and growth as we begin to understand ourselves a little more. Although with an Aries moon, inner growth is less likely, outer growth, such as the finishing of a work, study or sport subject may go smoothly.
Moon in the 4th house: Focus may be on the home and private life now. Be aware of upset caused through heated discussions or arguments. Avoid domestic disputes whenever possible.
Those most likely affected by this months full moon are those with any of the following:
Moon in Aries: Mars in Aries: Moon in the 4th house: Mars in the 4th house
Negative aspects may produce challenging times, whereas positive aspects may produce windows of opportunity. Aspects are the connections (by degrees) that one planet or point makes to another within the charts.
When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or something, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course…
