Theme: Finding balance, seeking harmony.

With three planets and other significant points in Libra the focus is very much on finding balance and harmony. Libra is also a social air sign: friendships are key at this time. The Moon in Libra opposite Chiron invites us to heal past wounds through beneficial connections with others. The sign of Libra also signifies open enemies, meaning you know where people stand. Mars in Cancer emphasizes less direct ways of asserting oneself and approaching thorny issues.

Each being is sacred — meaning that each has inherent value that cannot be ranked in a hierarchy or compared to the value of another being.~Starhawk

Theme: New beginnings

The new moon brings new energy for new efforts for new beginnings. Growth is a theme at this time, initiating activity another. The Sun and Moon close together in Libra speak to our capacity for inner union and balance. The process of finding balance can take time: patience is a helpful friend. With the Dark Moon, New Moon and Mercury also close to one another the process of finding inner union involves acknowledging the dark as well as the light.

We are shaped by our thoughts, we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.~Buddha

Theme: Flexibility

With the Moon in the mutable (changeable) sign of Virgo trine Uranus, it’s a good day to be flexible as the day brings change whether you invite it or not. Neptune is also opposite the Moon signifying a bit of a mushy brain. So ride out the confusing mushiness by doing something gentle and relaxing. This too shall pass. It’s a great time, in the month of Libra, for friendly gatherings.

When thoughts move, let them. Movement arises and is liberated without a trace.~ HH Dudjom Rinpoche

Theme: Thinking processes

With Mercury and the Sun conjunct your thought processes are more subjective. Yet overall, you are more optimistic about possibilities. It’s a news time with incoming messages and moving between two places. With both these planets in Libra you are seeking fairness and justice in your exchanges with others. The Moon in Virgo brings a down-to-earth quality to the day as you seek to attend also to the daily minutiae of life.

When combined, the small individual contributors of caring, friendship, forgiveness, and love, each of us different from our next-door neighbors, can form a phalanx, an army, with great capability. ~ Jimmy Carter

Theme: Subjective and Indulgent

For a few days Mercury is conjunct the Sun giving us less ability to think objectively, but more ability to focus on a task. The Moon square Venus, for the first half of the day. We are warm and generous but prone to having too much of a good thing. The outward 3 planets continue to be in harmonious aspect to each other, but all retrograde. Subtle but big changes continue to happen.

Theme: Passion

With Venus in Scorpio relationships can be both intense and deeper. Self-investigation helps you understand what motivates you in relationships. The sign of Scorpio, more than others, is closely associated with deep desire and strong longing. With both Venus and Mars in water signs, feelings run deeper than usual. Mercury is gradually pulling away from Neptune giving some well-needed objectivity and clarity in communications.

When his time has come, even a king has to die, And neither his friends nor his wealth can follow him. So for us—wherever we stay, wherever we go—Karma follows us like a shadow.~ The Buddha

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 6.12pm until 6:47pm. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care

Theme: Frisson

With Mars conjunct the Moon today expect having your buttons pushed – or feel combative. This aspect does however, give you energy – it’s a question of where you choose to channel it. The peacemaking sign of Sun Libra, on the other hand wants to calm troubled waters so it’s a kind of carbon offset for the Mars/Moon thing! Mercury and Neptune are opposite each other right now so misunderstandings are more likely.

Patience is more worthy than miracle-working.~Margery Kempe

Theme: Touching the heart

The Moon has moved into Cancer and now Venus is in Scorpio – both water signs. Connections with others are through your heart connection with them. Learning how to let go of attachments in a beneficial way can be challenging. Attending to hearth and home for the next couple of days rejuvenates you. There will be a frisky moment with your feelings as the Moon conjuncts Mars today. Watch your mind. The Sun in Libra invites us to see the world through a more beautiful lens than we ordinarily see it.

You look all right to me, although may be a bit wiggly about the edges. But perhaps I just need coffee.~Ysabeau S. Wilce

The Moon is Void of Course today between EDT USA 7.59am until 10:50am. Avoid starting new projects, making new purchases, planning big events or signing contracts during this time. Take time for inner reflection and self-care.

Theme: The waning light of the Moon…

As the Moon wanes it’s time to seek completions and spend more time in contemplation and reflection. There is insight and optimism today as the Moon is situated between Jupiter and the White Moon. The Sun has moved into Libra focusing attention in the next month on diplomacy, harmony and friendships. Important decisions hang in the balance during this time: which is the best path forward? Give yourself time to weigh the pros and cons of any given situation.

Compassion focused on sentient beings is the wish that beings might be free from their suffering, without any thought as to whether those beings are permanent or impermanent, truly existent or illusory.~Khenpo Namdrol

Theme: The Libra Scales

The Sun enters Libra just before mid day EDT. We all tend to be less decisive, (or do we?) for the next month. But happy birthday to all you gifted, charming Librans. This is a social and intellectual sign, but Mercury, our thought and communication remains in practical, analytical Virgo for a few more days. We have more inner balance than usual as the Moon is trining the Sun for much of the day.

Life is a balance between holding on and letting go. ~Rumi

The Moon is void of course today from 6:15 am until 6:25 am EDT. Do not make any major decisions during this time period.
