New Moon in Libra — the article

A Call to Transform Through Connection

 

On Oct. 21st at 8:25am EDT, a New Moon becomes exact at almost 28.5 degrees of Libra  —  you may also want to watch my New Moon video.

Are you feeling unusually focused, driven — and yet tired, reactive, or emotional?

That’s no surprise. Pluto’s station phase and “out-of-bounds” movement are at their peak, amplifying intensity until Oct. 24th. Our Souls are craving transformation. We’re being asked to release outdated programming and recalibrate to higher frequencies — an evolutionary nudge from the cosmos itself.

With the Sun and Moon in Libra, and Venus — Libra’s ruler — in her own sign, all three forming aspects to a highly exalted Pluto in Aquarius, this New Moon carries deep potency. It calls us to let go of long-standing patterns in our relationships, collaborations, and connections — especially those that stifle authenticity, growth, or Soul intention.

If you’d like to explore Pluto’s current intensity in greater depth, get & watch my webinar “Exalted & Out of Bounds — Pluto at its Most Intense” 

 

The Larger Picture: Three Major Configurations

The New Moon chart reveals three key energetic patterns shaping this moment:

  1. A Grand Water Trine
  2. A T-Square
  3. A Minor Triangle

Each holds unique lessons and invitations for our evolution.

 

The T-Square: Stretching Toward Authentic Safety

The T-Square involves Jupiter in Cancer as the focal point, forming challenging squares to both the New Moon in Libra and Chiron in Aries.

Squares mark turning points — moments when we must grow beyond who we’ve been. With Jupiter at the center, we may feel impatient, reactive, or overextended. It’s easy to overpromise or push past our natural limits right now, but what’s truly called for is realism and self-compassion.

We are profoundly shaped by the conditioning we receive from birth — family, culture, religion, nation, education. To individuate and heal, we must summon courage to live from our authentic essence rather than our conditioned persona.

This T-Square reminds us that even our sense of safety is influenced by social and familial programming. A new perspective on what feels “right” or “true” is essential for relating authentically — including our tender spots and sensitivities.

Coaching reflections:

  • Are my current needs and beliefs a reflection of my highest truth?
  • What attitudes or beliefs could I release that no longer serve my growth and healing?
  • What if my sense of safety wasn’t determined by others’ ideas — or even my own old stories?
  • Could I nurture my “inner baby” and allow myself to feel vulnerable and safe at the same time?

With Capricorn as the “empty leg” of this configuration, the healing comes through mature self-parenting — setting healthy boundaries, offering structure, and staying grounded even in moments of vulnerability.

More questions to explore:

  • Where am I on my journey toward greater self-acceptance?
  • What boundaries could help me feel safe while being open?
  • Could I slow my pace just a little — and honor where I am, one day at a time?

 

 The Grand Water Trine: Emotional Integration & Grace

This harmonious alignment between Mercury–Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, and Saturn in Pisces supports deep emotional healing and intuitive flow.

It invites us to follow inner guidance, to rest when needed, and to soften toward past experiences or traumas. The energy encourages release — particularly from old emotional attachments — helping us trust the unfolding process and stretch gently beyond our comfort zones.

Coaching reflections:

  • Could I slow down and notice what’s truly happening inside and around me?
  • Could I allow life to “be” exactly as it is — and exactly as it isn’t?
  • Could I trust that everyone, including myself, is exactly where they need to be?
  • How might forgiveness and open-heartedness deepen this process?

Mercury’s role adds a mental clarity that helps us rewrite the stories we tell about pain or fear.

Ask yourself:

  • What stories have kept me from living a fully empowered and passionate life?
  • Am I ready to release them, even a little?
  • What might shift if I trusted the timing of everything currently unfolding?

 

The Minor Triangle: New Consciousness Emerging

This configuration — Neptune in Aries, Pluto in Aquarius, and Uranus in Gemini — is composed of outer planets that reflect the Soul’s collective evolution. All are in early degrees of their signs, symbolizing new territory and the birth of innovative social consciousness.

We’re being called to act from conviction and courage — to be bold yet discerning. The inner critic must rest while our higher self steps forward.

These energies remind us that spiritual practice isn’t a luxury; it’s essential. Quiet time, reflection, and connection to our inner compass allow us to align with the vibration of the new world unfolding.

Coaching reflections:

  • Where can I apply myself in a purer, more loving way?
  • What might become possible if I acted with my heart wide open?
  • How can I elevate my thinking — allowing my mind and connections to vibrate at a higher frequency?

 

Neptune’s Return to Pisces: A Full-Circle Journey

Within 24 hours of the New Moon, Neptune retrogrades back into 29° Pisces, an exalted degree, completing a journey begun in 2011–2012 when it first entered this sign.

This marks a moment of spiritual completion. We’re asked to remember that everything — even dense matter — is energy. Everything is interconnected.

Coaching reflections:

  • If everything is energy, might it make sense to be fully conscious of how I treat everyone and everything — including myself?
  • How might mindfulness or meditation support this awareness in daily life?
  • Could my thoughts and behaviors influence the collective field we all share?

 

Pluto’s Aspects: Transformation Through Relating

Pluto forms an out-of-sign Square to the New Moon and a Trine to Venus in Libra.

The Square pushes us to evolve through our relationships — to confront fears, own our shadow, and make space for rebirth. The Trine, meanwhile, brings magnetic new connections or deepened bonds that transform us through love and truth.

Coaching reflections:

  • Where am I ready to release a pattern, fear, or attachment that keeps me small?
  • What kind of new beginning could emerge once I make space for trust, empowerment, and higher alignment?
  • Where am I being asked to surrender control — and trust the universal process?

 

 Integration: Becoming Whole Through “The Other”

As the seventh sign of the zodiac, Libra marks a turning point in our evolution — from personal identity to interpersonal balance.

Whatever remains unintegrated from the first six signs now shows up in our relationships. Others mirror our inner dynamics, inviting us toward wholeness.

Ask yourself:

  • What if harmony and peace were mine to create within me first?

Each moment offers choice. We can fall into regret or blame — or we can choose differently next time. Each breath is a new beginning, each interaction a new possibility for awareness and alignment.

 

Intention Setting: Working with the Energy

This New Moon is an excellent time to set intentions for the lunar cycle. The optimal window opens between 11:42am on Tuesday (Oct. 21st) and 8:25am on Thursday (Oct. 23rd), once the Moon leaves its brief void-of-course phase.

If time zone conversions aren’t your thing, follow me on Facebook or Instagram for reminders when the window opens.

Special note: If your Ascendant or personal planets fall between 26–29° of Libra, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn, or 0–1° of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius, you’ll likely feel this lunation most strongly. The same applies if your Sun or Ascendant is in Leo or Cancer.

Closing Thought

This New Moon in Libra reminds us that transformation doesn’t require force — only awareness and willingness. When we honor vulnerability, authenticity, and connection, we align with the Soul’s desire to evolve through love.

 

October 13th – 19th

Be Alert For Undue Optimism

 

This week’s headline items: Pluto remains highly exalted and out of bounds all week; on Monday afternoon, a last Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact, ending Eclipse Season! Yay! Venus changes signs from Virgo to Libra on Monday, early evening, and Pluto comes to a halt later Monday evening — ending its annual Retrograde phase. The Balsamic Moon phase begins on Friday morning; Mars trines the North Node in Pisces on Saturday morning, and Mercury will do the same on Sunday early morning.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for a little over 5.5 hours), Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning (for 13 hour), and Saturday late afternoon/early evening (for almost 7 hours).

 

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

I made an important announcement the week before last about the new direction I’ll be taking with my business — including my decision to put the Membership program on hold ==> Please watch this brief video OR read the audio transcript below the video to understand what’s changing and how you can stay connected moving forward.

I’m deeply grateful for each of you and for everything we’ve shared through this community. If you have any questions or need help with next steps, please reach out — via text, email, or phone

 

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, October 13th

Monday is quite an eventful day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day. It will journey there until Tuesday morning.

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.

Self-care is key for the next two days! Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar and enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.

Make sure, though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, or you might start to feel drained and resentful.

This Moon placement also started the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on later this afternoon).

Monday at 2:13pm EDT, the last Quarter Moon in 20.5° of Cancer becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build the moment the Moon entered Cancer on Sunday very early morning. The Moon in protective, nurturing Cancer makes a challenging aspect to the Sun harmony-oriented, idealistic Libra.

This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to face what demands completion or change. This Moon phase brings us closer to Oct. 21st, which will bring a New Moon in Libra.

Eclipse season now is over, however the last New Moon was a Solar Eclipse, so with this last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at our Solar Eclipse Intentions one more time and see if they are still a good fit.

As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-22 degrees of Cancer, Libra, Capricorn, or Aries? If so, you will feel this month’s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.

Monday at 5:19pm EDT, Venus changes signs from detail-oriented, practical Virgo and moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra. She will journey through that sign until Nov. 6th.

With this placement, we prefer to show kindness, even-handedness, and a willingness to make our relationships work.

We value our relationships at this time, and we prefer entering into equal partnerships. Until Nov. 6th, we can develop an idealized view of what a relationship “should” look like.

We do our best to treat others fairly for the next three and a half weeks, seeking the middle ground.

We are more likely to appreciate the arts, dance, beauty, collaborative projects, and celebrations of love (weddings, relationship anniversaries, declarations of love, marriage proposals, etc.).

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus? If so, you will feel more connected to your inner harmony for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to others in an equal setting. If you are a Libra Sun- or Rising sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign.

Monday late evening, a Venus/Neptune opposition becomes exact at 9:16pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday morning (Oct. 11th) on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning (Oct. 16th). We are ready to dissolve anything we valued in the past that no longer serves us or humanity.

Our relationships might feel confusing or disappointing; they might even be some of the things “dissolving” — but this is helping us get more connected with our inner knowingness or sense of what feels “right”. Compassion may play a significant role in our interactions.

Ask yourself: What is in alignment with my higher Self? Can I find a way to connect what I value in my relationships with who I need to be to inspire others? Could I be open to the idea that everyone has infinite potential and the Soul is just waiting for us to live out this potential? Where might “pleasing others” and “continuous harmony” be overrated?

This might not be the best time to start a new relationship, as we tend to idealize others, leading to disappointment. As best as you can, find your inner balance with what’s real and what’s not… and allow others to be human, limitations and all.

Financially, we may want to invest in creative or spiritual endeavors that include others, but hold off on buying anything concrete or practical until after Oct. 16th

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-3 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn, or 27-29 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly.

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra, or Pisces (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).

Monday at 10:54pm EDTPluto halts at 1º22′ of Aquarius, going direct, after completing its 5-month Retrograde phase (May 4th – Oct. 13th). Pluto’s energy will continue to move more slowly until Oct. 28th.

When an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us — and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet’s energy has picked up again (around Oct. 28th).

During the Retrograde phase, we had a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within.

Pluto is associated with our Soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment — our ability to feel empowered from within — and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what truly motivates us.

For the last 5 months, we’ve needed to tap into inner authenticity, embracing all of ourselves: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

We can now bring this inner authenticity to the outer world and are ready to let go of any habits, behaviors, or fears holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.

Whatever we have intuitively learned about our inner passion, strength, and Soul’s purpose, we are now ready to bring that knowledge to the outside world. This deeper connection is going to serve us on our journey towards authenticity.

We can establish connections with like-minded people that align with our soul’s purpose and lead us into a future that empowers ourselves and our communities. Ask yourself: What do I “just know” deep down?

==> If you want to dive deeper into Pluto’s current movement and what this might mean for you and for humanity, watch my 99 min. webinar titled: “Exalted & Out of Bounds — Pluto at its Most Intense”.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Libra, Aries, or 0-1 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, or Scorpio? If so, you will feel this station more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Scorpio (Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio).

Monday night/Tuesday very early morning at 1:05am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for almost 5.5 hours, until 6:47am EDT (Tuesday morning). Use this intuitive time to focus on spiritual/intuitive experiences or creative endeavors and to lend loving and nurturing support to others.

As best as you can, focus on the here and now, and release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. If you are awake, you may also want to plan Monday night until Tuesday morning ahead of time.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, October 6th

Monday is quite the day (astrologically speaking). The Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day. It will journey there until Tuesday night. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and enthusiastic about new projects.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act promptly. Our independence and dynamism are important to us, so we may struggle to be disciplined or accept advice.

In general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.

This Moon placement also started the build-up towards the Super Full Moon in Aries (exact later this evening) ==> If you are a Member of my online community, feel free to watch my video on the subject, or read my “Super Full Moon in Aries” article

Monday at 12:41pm EDT,  Mercury changes signs from harmony-seeking Libra to passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Oct. 29th. During those 3 weeks, we can focus on what’s most important to us on a deep emotional level.

We can get to the very heart of any matter at this time (especially through conversation). We are more passionate about giving valid advice or support. We are not satisfied with superficial connections right now — it’s all or nothing.

For that reason, our mental processes could get a little obsessive. Watch out for catastrophic thinking! We may also be more suspicious and expect bad intentions.

It’s a time that favors reading or writing about intrigue, mystery, and hidden motives. Mercury in Scorpio loves anything that challenges the brain, and often finds us more interested in what makes people tick.

This shift into Scorpio also starts a Yod aspect, with Mercury as the Focal point. I discussed this in my Super Full Moon article and will go into more details below (see Tuesday’s forecast).

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel a greater need to investigate deeper emotional issues or motives. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Scorpio? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty and mentally alert for the next 3 weeks.

Monday evening, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 6:53pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday evening (Oct. 5th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (Oct. 7th).

This could contribute to mental confusion and spaciness or the need to communicate with others from an inspirational place (but possibly not knowing how to achieve that).

We may experience inner struggles or find there are adjustments to be made. We may feel confused at times as we are pulled in two very different directions…

On the one hand, tuning into our personal vision, getting excited, and finding the inspiration to take action.

On the other hand, obsessing over what lies beneath the surface (and others’ motivations) and thinking through what feels most empowering to ourselves and others.

We may also contemplate worst-case scenarios in the hope of protecting ourselves from a potentially less-than-ideal future.

Sometimes, imagination and vision can run way ahead of what is feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our idiosyncrasies as we go.

Honesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is the key!

What are you sensing? Intuiting? Where do your intimate partnerships not seem to fit with your ideals, dreams, or fantasies?

Where could you learn to understand the deeper connections between things? What needs to be communicated in your collaborations? 

Where might you be avoiding some aspect of this? Could you put some space, time, and love around this? What’s clear to you? What looks muddy? Where might you be looking through rose-colored glasses? Where might some of those lenses overlap?

Note that I say “overlap”: Don’t look for an exact fit; this is more like two pieces from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn’t make sense… And it doesn’t. It can’t. The pieces are not from the same game.

Just do your best to “hang out” with the discomfort this evokes, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.

This Quincunx is part of a Yod aspect, with Mercury as the Focal point. Again, I discussed this in my Super Full Moon article, and will go into more details tomorrow, Tuesday.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 0-2 degrees of  Scorpio, Aries, or 29 degrees of Libra, or Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).

Monday at 11:48pm EDTthe Sun in Libra opposes the Moon at 14º of Aries. The Moon’s entry into Aries on Sunday night (Oct. 5/6) began the build-up toward this powerful Super Full Moon.

Super Full Moon in Aries – the article

On October 6th at 11:48pm EDT, the Sun in Libra opposes the Moon at 14º of Aries.

The Moon’s entry into Aries on Sunday night (Oct. 5/6) begins the build-up toward this powerful Super Full Moon.

This lunation spotlights what we need to heal or shift within ourselves in order to experience the peace, harmony, and balance we long for in our lives and relationships.

Before we jump in, I want to share that I have an exciting announcement about the direction I’ll be taking with my business — and what that means for Memberships. 

==> Please watch this brief video, to stay informed and make a choice that works best for you!

The Dance of Aries & Libra

The Aries–Libra polarity highlights the ongoing dance between self and other, assertion and cooperation, independence and partnership, masculine and feminine.

The Moon in pioneering Aries opposes the Sun in balance-seeking Libra, reminding us that every Full Moon brings our emotional body to the forefront. Feelings rise, what has been suppressed becomes visible, and the unconscious finds its way into form.

On a subtle level, the Moon connects us with our feminine side, our maternal conditioning, and our capacity to give and receive nourishment. At the Full Moon, what has been in the shadows comes to light — and this one is particularly potent.

Why? Because it is a Super Full Moon — the Moon is closer to the Earth, intensifying tidal pulls, tectonic stresses, and the stirrings of our emotional bodies. And since it follows a Solar Eclipse, we are still in Eclipse Season. 

Insights about relationships and partnerships will unfold more clearly after this Full Moon peaks.

The Aries–Libra Polarity

This polarity directs our awareness to the roles we identify with in our one-on-one connections. Independence meets interdependence. This Super Full Moon calls us to…

Assumptions and Expectations 

 

This week’s headline items: Pluto remains “out of bounds” (OOB) all week; a first Quarter Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Monday evening; on Tuesday, Pluto is not only OOB but also starts to slow down (station) again, as it prepares to end its 5-month Retrograde phase; Venus opposes Sept. 7th’s Lunar Eclipse degree on Wednesday evening, and aligns with the South Node in Virgo early Saturday. Pluto’s station intensifies on Saturday, and a Super Full Moon starts to build on Sunday night (exact next week Monday late evening).

There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 4 hours), Wednesday late morning (for almost 4.5 hours), Friday afternoon (for almost 8 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 4 hours).

 

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, September 29th

Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 5:55am EDT. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. As best as you can, speak your truth without assuming everyone is on the same page.

Improvisation works well for us now, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge — just be mindful that you aren’t overdoing or overstating things. 

Monday at 1:44am EDT, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 4 hours, until 5:55am EDT. Use this intuitive time to stretch and grow. Your commitment to spiritual self-mastery, towards being in the present moment, calls you to make some adjustments with the outer world.

Ask yourself: What might be a creative way to stay connected to others and committed to connecting to my intuitive knowing?

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time.

Monday at 5:55am EDT, the Moon moves into ambitious, realistic, and goal-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals.

Our reputation will become very important to us. As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do”

This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later today, on Monday evening).

Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and it is currently transiting through Pisces, making this a great time to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, or one-consciousness.

It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our spiritual or creative aspirations; as best as you can, be authentic about your intuitive connection to life. What works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to your idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams?

What about life truly resonates with you — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago? Where in your life is it time to let go of naiveté or an idealistic approach that no longer serves you?

What tools or structures support you with being in the flow, being present, and feeling connected to the Universe in this now-moment? What needs your time and attention? What could you practice every day? What do you genuinely want to commit yourself to?

Again, this Moon placement also starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later today, on Monday evening).

Monday at 7:54pm EDT, the first Quarter Moon in 7º of Capricorn becomes exact. We started to feel this build when the Moon entered Capricorn on Monday early morning.

The Moon in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in balance-seeking, relationship-oriented Libra.

Last week, on Sept. 21st, we saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Virgo. If we set some intentions on Sept. 23rd or 24th, we will be ready to make some adjustments.

This is a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum — in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.

Remember, we’re still in Eclipse Season until Oct. 13th and thus don’t yet have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, and find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others.

Also, allow for new downloads and the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put, an open mind and heart will serve us best (that’s true in general, but especially true until Eclipse season ends).

Another thing to remember: if something begins or ends in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.

As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the “here and now”. Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. We are receiving a consciousness upgrade — that’s a good thing!

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of Capricorn, Libra, Aries, or Cancer? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

September 22nd – 28th

Know When Enough Is Enough

 

This week’s headline items: Pluto remains “out of bounds” all week; Mars changes signs from Libra to Scorpio on Monday early morning; the Sun changes signs from Virgo to Libra — marking the Autumn Equinox — on Monday afternoon; parts of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: it will be time to set our Solar Eclipse Intentions; the early week (Monday through Wednesday) brings many clearly felt planetary movements, while the rest of the week is more focused on faster, more subtle Moon aspects.

There will only be two Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday evening (for a little over 8 hours) and Friday afternoon (for almost 4 hours).

 

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please know that…

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, September 22nd

Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until early Wednesday morning (Sept. 24th).

The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.

We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating.

Monday at 3:54am EDT, Mars leaves harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra and enters passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until November 4th. The last time we experienced this transit was Oct. 12th until Nov. 24th, 2023.

Think back to that time and ask yourself: What projects were underway? What got initiated? What actions did I take? How can I take things to the next level?

Mars in Libra is constantly striving to bring fairness to the world; Mars in Scorpio knows that life simply isn’t fair. Mars in Libra seeks the middle ground; Mars in Scorpio says, “It’s black or white: Pick one!”

Mars in Scorpio is all about accepting challenges and making changes with concentrated energy and willpower.

For the next 6 weeks, we rely heavily on our gut feelings. We can see through others and could potentially exploit or quietly but formidably oppose them.

We project cool equilibrium — but below the surface may lie another story — in general, we don’t want to show our hand…

We may be attracted to sexual taboos or fantasies in which the “other” surrenders their “body and will” completely — and our sex appeal could perhaps be strong enough to bring that about.

Mars in Scorpio also has a provocative quality to it: We might test ourselves and others. We make all kinds of rules and goals just for the personal satisfaction that comes from achieving or mastering them.

Our survival instincts are stronger; we more easily embrace our own animal nature without guilt.

All this is especially true if you have an Aries or Scorpio Sun- or Rising-sign. Scorpios will feel unusually energized, passionate, and direct — and physically stronger. Aries will feel more intensely connected to others (and to life) over the next 6 weeks …

Monday at 2:19pm EDT, the Sun changes signs from practical Virgo to harmony-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Oct. 22nd. This signifies the beginning of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere of this planet.

The Fall or Autumn Equinox is an energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways that open us to the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.

With the Sun entering Libra, we are being called to pay attention to our relationships. Bringing equality, cooperation, and balance to our dealings with the world is recommended during this time. We have a keen awareness of issues concerning justice, and we are more likely to take a stand against injustice, especially when it’s directed against others.

However, we also want to keep the peace, so we may use language and our intellect to address such issues diplomatically. We can see all sides of a situation — and therefore, it’s not always easy to make the “right” choices. Our desire for harmony is great;  more often than not — consciously or unconsciously — we may find ourselves seeking the approval of others.

All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Libra Sun-sign or Rising sign. As a Libra, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you are more aware of the delicate balance that is required internally and externally in your life.
