New Moon in Libra: WILLFUL INTEGRATION
Monday, October 8th, 2018 (at 11.47 pm edt - 15 deg 48’)

Libra represents creating balance in partnerships and relationships, but first you must be at peace within yourself, or you will project your imbalances onto others in the world.

The New Moon in Libra invites us to focus on balance, partnerships, and the deep, inherent beauty that is essential to life. How do you express yourself in your important relationships?

Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and pleasure.

With Venus now retrograde in Scorpio, this is also the time for ALL OF US to get real with ourselves, and also with one another. Venus is about relating, and when She is in Scorpio territory, she goes DEEP.

AT EACH NEW MOON: I like to give myself an intention where I focus on a mindful goal, one that helps me redirect my thoughts to a specific image or idea. 

AT THIS NEW MOON: my intention will focus on the WILLFUL INTEGRATION of all the parts of me doing battle against each other, within me.  

As a mental AIR sign, Libra energies encourage the expression of artistry through balancing extremes.

Can you find the harmonic point that vibrates somewhere in the middle?

The art of encouraging cohesion in an environment of dissonance could go a long way over the next several weeks.

Make peace with ALL OF YOU.

The New Moon represents the beginning of the lunar cycle; astrology has been used as a tool for prediction, and a simple and practical way for anyone to follow the lunar cycles is to observe the New Moon and where it affects your personal chart.

NEW MOON MAGICK
Following the path of the New Moon through the natal houses can give an indication of where the focus will lie, not only as far as external events, but what to expect on a psychological level as well.

Note: Read the NEW MOON FORECAST for your RISING SIGN as well as the one for your SUN SIGN … often it is MUCH more relevant!
