NEW MOON LIBRA 25 DEGREES OCTOBER 18th 2009

This astrological lunar month will focus on the energies of Aries and Libra. “How can I consciously create inner balance so that my life is harmonious and peaceful?” can be a relevant question to ask your self at this time. To aid your understanding I’ll list some key words associated with the themes and issues of Aries and Libra.  We all have these cosmic energies in our psychological matrix, to differing degrees, however most people are unconscious of them. These Moon Musings enable you to become conscious and self-aware of the current cosmic frequencies.

Aries:   Is the energy of new beginnings.  It is a fire sign and relates to our ability to “get up and go/do for ourself”.  Some of the key words associated with Aries are:  independent; proactive, confident, assertive, dynamic, pioneer, entrepreneur: bully, hot headed, selfish, inconsiderate, insensitive, self-centred, aggressive and dominating.  The opposite zodiacal sign to Aries is Libra.  This pair of signs can be likened to two sides of the one coin.   

Libra:  Is an air sign relating to mental thought programmes. Libra is the peacemaker and diplomat. Libra often considers the other above self so can easily play out the “doormat”, especially in relationships.  Some of the keywords associated with issues and themes of Libra are: considerate, cooperative, peaceful, harmonious, fair, equality, justice, beauty, symmetry, balance, mediator: inactive, inertia, NICE (Nothing Inside of me Cares Enough), lacks confidence, dependent, social butterfly, superficial and insincere.

Those of you with a strong Libra emphasis in your birth chart will experience specific life challenges in order for you to consciously develop balance on all levels of your being; spiritual, mental, emotional and physical.   When an area of your life is out of balance you will experience resistance in both your internal and external world until you choose to consciously correct.  Once you have attained a constant level of internal balance, harmony and peace your outer world will reflect this inner energetic patterning. Life will seem to be magical because you operate your life “in the flow” of divine cosmic energy currents.

Why not do a stock take of your life from the observer or bigger picture perspective to check if an area of your life is out of balance?  For example, you might play the Aries initiator of new projects but neglect to look after yourself.  Or you may play the game of Libra “doormat” and give your life force energy away to your partner and wonder why you do not feel energized and enthusiastic about life. Your challenge is to become conscious of your psychological games and choose to correct.

Those readers who have planets or points in their birth chart around 25 degrees of Aries/Libra/Cancer/ Capricorn, all cardinal signs, will feel the affects of this New Moon more so than other people.  Why not check out your birth chart before this cosmic event so you can prepare to experience greater self-awareness and illumination of the themes mentioned below?

Our precious planet also likes to experience balance and harmony yet we humans continue to desecrate and destroy her.   She rebels!  The energy of our negative thoughts; speech and emotions acts as contaminants to all on the receiving end of them, including Mother Earth.  This dense energy attracts like and forms mass, thus creating even greater density and contamination.  This density of negativity then creates more and more wars and greater earth upheaval.    It need not be so!  If we each choose to develop inner peace, harmony and balance by consciously choosing to think, speak and act for the highest good of all wars would cease to exist.

Why not choose to become conscious of your inner warring forces and correct? This way you will be serving humanity and our planet. When you consciously choose to raise your frequency to the highest plane of love, and maintain it as a constant, your loving energy will make a huge difference to all within your field of influence. 

I suggest you take note of the areas of your life that are being energized now.  This area of your focus is paving the way for the Saturn energy shift into Libra on October 30th.   The energized areas of your life, and the Libra themes associated with them, will be under the Saturn in Libra spotlight for the next two and a half years.

During the past two and a half years, with Saturn in Virgo, you have been tested to re-structure your working life and to take greater responsibility for your health. You may have suffered hardship in these areas.  You have also been cosmically examined as to whether you live your life in loving service. These themes are about to change.     Developing and maintaining balance in all areas of your life will become the primary focus for the next two and a half years. When in a state of inner equilibrium and balance you can deal with any relationships challenges that are likely to arise during this time.    Some of you may form a long-term relationship with an older person or a new, mature partner, or an existing relationship may be challenged to rise to a greater level of maturity.

Jupiter has now changed its apparent motion to direct.   This means that any big picture plans for expansion that you began to action earlier this year can now come into manifestation.  This may mean you go global with your projects.  Mars enters Leo at the New Moon phase so your enthusiastic, dynamic creativity and leadership skills can come to the fore.  However, in the unconscious dysfunctional, you can also bring up over- inflated ego games of self-aggrandisement, selfishness and superiority, so it would be wise to become aware and choose to correct.

May you choose to be guided by the forces of Natural Law and to follow the wisdom of your heart

Blessings and Love
