Libra New Moon - Balancing Acts

Libra and balance

Libra is the sign of Balance and harmony. Easily evident with it’s symbol: The Scales. which is a device to measure balance and equality between two separate objects. The glyph can also be interpreted as a setting sun, halfway over the horizon and it’s the Sun’s entry into Libra that marks Fall as the sun declines and days grow shorter in length.

So we see both balance not only in our personal lives regarding fair and equal partnerships but also equanminity in life itself and the natural order of thigns, natures checks and balances.

Life out of balance

Making this New Moon especially wild and suprising is that it’s exactly opposite Uranus, the rebel and trickster, in the sign of combative Aries.

Aries is a sign of firey independence, hasty impatience and decisive agression. You can see why it’s the masucline opposite of peacful and sometimes indecisive Libra.

Uranus here is reflective of the passionate and agressive independence of both left and right wing politics. It is spontaneous, disruptive and surprising so it often comes wtih the addage “expect the unexpected” which isn’t the most helpful but also kind of true. If you think you can see it coming, it’s probably something else.

Uranus, even when it is liberating you from the past, will destabilize and disrupt current conditions, which is rarely comfortable. It also brings events in a hurry and the things that develop with Uranus can disappear just as quickly leaving only a new world for you to live within. Therefore it’s very important to stay calm and watch what comes dispassionately. Unless of course, you are acting out the disruptive, chaotic impulse of Uranus, in which case let those bridges burn.

Venus in Libra

Venus is currently transiting the sign of LIbra, her natural home so she is calling shots in this New Moon and is a welcome sign. It may not be able to overcome the volatility of Uranus in Aries but will help talk down what may seem like a suprise attack or hostage situation.

Those with planets near 7 Libra may find this New Moon to romantic, espceially if those planets are related to romance: Venus, Mars, Moon or planetary ruler of the 5th or 7th houses. Also those with Aries and Sagittarius rising will find this new moon to be more romantic.

People with planets at 7 Capricorn, Cancer or Aries may find this New Moon to be a bit difficult with regards to social relationships of all kinds. Remember to be patient and stay calm if things become agitated or conflict arises spontaneously and unexpectedly as it may disappear just as fast.

Retrograde Reminder

This article is In honor of Mercury, obviously the best and brightest and smartest and funniest of all planetary spirits, who decided that it should be accidentally deleted and rewritten THREE times before finally getting (or allowing) it to stick. I implore you to burn some incense and give your prayers to the trickster God if not for your sake for mine! haha

4 Keys to Navigate an Eclipse

First stop and think about this: The word consideration literally means “to observe the stars. From the Latin considerare "to look at closely, observe,” and Sideris or “constellations, stars” it’s likely a navigational term used by sailors who had to observe the stars in order to direct themselves to their destination. We look to the stars so we can navigate towards our desired destination.

Leo Eclipse

The German term for crisisis: Torschlusspanik is literally “Shut-door-panic” or fear of being on teh wrong side of a closing gate. This may be a perfect term for our feelings right now and the sense that we are wasting our lives, "betting on the wrong horses" or, at least, uncertainty around important decisions whose windows of opportunity are quickly closing. Some of us may be happily on the other side of the gate and ready to move on to new pastures and for them they may be a compassionate ear for those others.

Venus Retrograde (March 4 - April 15)

Will my love life ever get better? Will I get dumped? is it too late? I can certainly empathize, having many burnt fingers from ignoring these omens, but I now pass through these cycles with a dose of think-skinned stoicism and come out the other side just fine. It's really not all bad (not always anyway!) and it can even be a positive, pleasurable time however an attitude of open, non-attachment with regards to love and luxury is the best prescription. Isn't it always?

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Pisces pt2

Pisces is one of the mutable signs and as the name implies, it is willing or able to mutate, adapt and transform, something the fixed signs have much more difficulty with. Pisces, perhaps more than the others, is suited to mutation and transformation as it is the last sign of the zodiac and is considered to be the sum of all other signs before it and the stage of final transformation or repeating of the cycle back into Aries.

NATAL CHART READING

$40.00 $80.00

This in-depth reading will look deeper into the natal chart examining at both personality and life experience with the additional and important elements of individual Stars and midpoints of the planets. The report will include a report and print of the natal chart.

Forecast

$65.00 $100.00

All predictions start with the natal chart and with my standard reading we will look to the birth chart to see lifelong qualities of experience as well as personality and then look to past, present and future to see what kind of stories and experiences you are having, all of which will dovetail back into the natal chart reading.

Predictive techniques used include Solar arc directions, progressions, Transits, Solar returns and eclipse cycles.

COUPLES READING

$80.00 $120.00

Relationship analysis is tricky and there is quite a bit of low qualitymaterial out there on the subject, particularly on the internet.

This in-depth reading looks at 3 levels of interpretation:

1. Natal delineation: Each individual and their capacity for love and intimacy. I also look to see if it is a time of love for each and, if possible, look to the chart of the first meeting of the two.

2. Synastry : The chemistry and dynamics between the two individuals as well as similarity of the natal charts. There are thousands of different alignments that can occur between charts but a handful of them signify long-term potential, some of which are not well known.

3. The composite chart: The relationship itself and how the two people experience it and how they act as a couple.

There is a lot of ground to cover here and these readings last several hours. I can also look for good times for romance for both of you, be it a date, a vacation or marriage.

Best for new couples or partnerships who are considering making a long-term commitment. I can also do readings for potential partners as long as the birth data is available.
