On Oct. 16th at 3:31pm EDT,<\/strong>\u00a0the Moon\u00a0aligns with the Sun in almost 24 degrees of\u00a0Libra<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0beginning a\u00a0new Moon cycle.<\/p>\n

New Moons are introverted times when we go within to learn with what we wish to align ourselves for the next 28 days. This New Moon is also a SuperMoon<\/em>.\u00a0These occur when the Moon becomes either Full or New while at its closest distance to the Earth and are therefore more powerful.<\/p>\n

This is the second of three Super New Moons<\/em> in a row. They generate greater gravitational and electromagnetic forces and therefore increased effects on our physical, mental, and emotional bodies. This also facilitates greater shifts in consciousness.<\/p>\n

With the\u00a0New Moon in harmony-loving, balance-seeking\u00a0Libra<\/strong>,\u00a0we are invited to focus on win-win situations, fair exchanges, and harmony (within our relationships and with our general environment). However, this New Moon chart has three oppositions and one T-Square<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Focus Point of this T-Square is the Jupiter-Pluto-Saturn line up in Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>, which indicates that we are experiencing some stress or challenges around our long-term goals, obligations, and social structures or limitations in general.\u00a0Click here to watch my New Moon video<\/strong>\u00a0to learn more about this.<\/a><\/p>\n

There are plenty of challenging aspects in this Super New Moon chart,<\/em> and that might keep us off-balance — to say nothing of the Pluto and Mercury Station phases<\/em>, that are still both intensified<\/em>, Mercury in Scorpio<\/strong> (and having gone Retrograde on Oct. 13th), and then of course Mars in Aries<\/strong> is still in its Retrograde phase until Nov. 13th.<\/p>\n

More about all those details in a moment…. I just want to mention quickly the latest webinar<\/strong> I recorded on Oct. 4th — we discussed the Mercury Station & Retrograde phase in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong><\/em>, and how it is connected to the Pluto Station in Capricorn<\/strong> <\/em>and how all of this looks in relationship to our own Birth charts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ok, let’s get back to the New Moon — and specifically, the\u00a0Libra<\/strong>\u00a0component of this New Moon chart…<\/p>\n

All relationships begin with our relationship to ourselves — everything \u201cout there\u201d is a reflection of “in here”… Ideally speaking, interacting with another person is a co-creative, equal exchange — we must be centered within ourselves, yet also tuned into each other, all the while responding to the rhythm of life.<\/p>\n

Here are some useful questions to\u00a0ask yourself for this new Moon cycle:<\/strong>\u00a0What does an “equal relationship” look like? Where is the balance point? What comes up for me when I hear the phrase “the art of relationship”?<\/p>\n

As the seventh sign in the zodiac,\u00a0Libra<\/strong>\u00a0represents a major turning point, one that invites us to investigate ourselves through the lens\u00a0of “the other” (by relating on a one-on-one level).<\/p>\n

Anything we haven\u2019t mastered from the six signs that precede Libra<\/strong>, we bring to all of our relationships,\u00a0attracting people who mirror back to us our relationship with ourselves:\u00a0Libra<\/strong> thus invites us to see all of our issues, resolve them, and become whole.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0What if harmony and peace were mine to create within me first?<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Libra<\/strong> energy encourages us to…<\/p>\n

\n[wcm_restrict]<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Libra<\/strong> energy encourages us to see both sides of a situation and find the middle path (or better yet, a win-win). If we are to reconcile opposite energies, we need to seek the highest and best outcome for everyone involved — in other words, we need to see everyone as equally deserving… including ourselves!<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What does “treating others fairly” mean to me? What does “being treated fairly” mean to me? If I could envision the “ideal” relationship, what would that look like to me? Could I give myself permission to drop my expectations and my “shoulds” around relationships just for right now?<\/p>\n

What might be a first step towards relationships that honor both parties equally? How might honoring myself contribute to that? What might be possible if I gave myself permission to approve of myself, right here, right now — for no particular reason — “just because”?<\/p>\n

Now let’s take a look at some of the other aspects in the New Moon chart:<\/em>\u00a0The New Moon opposes Mars in Aries <\/strong><\/em>(which is also Retrograde at the time of the New Moon), and squares the Jupiter-Pluto-Saturn line up in Capricorn<\/strong>:<\/em>\u00a0This creates a T-Square<\/em> as already mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n

This T-square<\/em> invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions around long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one personal and business relationships, and our long-term aspirations.<\/p>\n

Doing what’s “right” out there in the world is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves; the internal tension this creates may lead to conflict.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? What might be possible if I met people half-way? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?<\/p>\n

Are there any rigid attitudes or limitations on my part that might be interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people’s needs and limitations into account? What if I balanced and integrated my inner masculine and feminine?<\/p>\n

With so many planets in cardinal signs<\/em>, we might feel overly active — they will keep us busy for sure — in fact we could end up burdened with pressure, commitments, and obligations.\u00a0As best as you can, avoid “should-ing” on yourself for the next 28 days. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying “I’m doing the best I can, and by definition, that’s the best I can do” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

If you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also ask yourself:<\/strong> When is enough, enough? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might such a break mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I test that quickly, just as an experiment?<\/p>\n

Given that the “empty leg” of this T-square lands in Cancer<\/strong>,<\/em> the solution for this stressful aspect lies in our ability to self-nurture. We are invited to pay attention to our basic, emotional, human needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), our need for safety and security.<\/p>\n

We are reminded to nurture our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people — as best as we can, of course.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?<\/p>\n

With this in mind, I want to invite anyone who needs emotional, spiritual,<\/strong> or mental support<\/strong> right now to do a Coaching-Healing session<\/em> <\/strong>with me. They are very powerful and very gentle at the same time<\/strong>, as they allow you to let go of any stress or uncomfortable feelings, and provide\u00a0a chance to reconnect with the inner peace and calm that is always available to you underneath all of the turmoil or stress.<\/p>\n

Now, back to the Super New Moon chart:<\/em><\/p>\n

The New Moon in Libra<\/strong> also trines the North Node in Gemini<\/strong>:<\/em> this\u00a0represents our collective Soul’s Journey at this time, showing us that balance and equality can be achieved in our relationships if we stay open-minded and bring a good dose of curiosity to any interactions we have with others.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> What questions could I ask myself or someone else that would help me create a win-win scenario?<\/p>\n

We also have three oppositions in this New Moon chart<\/em>. Oppositions often get played out in our relationships with others, so let’s take a look at those:<\/p>\n

The New Moon opposes Retrograde Mars in its own sign (Aries<\/strong>)<\/em>… I would say that that’s a big deal! It indicates that we feel easily agitated with others, but may also not be able to express our feelings directly. That could lead to some passive-aggressive behaviors, or at the very least, a retreat within ourselves, not wanting to deal with others, just fuming internally.<\/p>\n

This retreat into ourselves could give us a chance to reexamine our various one-on-one relationships — ask yourself<\/strong>: Could I acknowledge what is getting stirred up inside of me when connecting with someone who is limited in their ability to have equal relationships?<\/p>\n

What if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and my insecurities or triggers actually made for more fulfilling connections with others? How might I balance my need for equal connection and harmony with my desire for self-fulfillment and complete independence?<\/p>\n

Venus (the ruler of Libra) is currently in Virgo<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0opposes Neptune in Pisces<\/strong><\/em>. This shows that we can choose to connect to others with compassion and forgiveness in our hearts. We are also ready to dissolve anything that we valued in the past that no longer serves either ourselves or humanity.<\/p>\n

Our relationships could also feel confusing or disappointing, they might even be among the things “dissolving” — but this helps us get more connected with our inner knowingness, or our inner sense of what feels “right”. 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 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> Could I allow myself to be both smart, decisive, and open-hearted? What would honesty without judgment look like? How might a compassionate heart support me in my decision making process? What is asking to be dissolved? What is asking for forgiveness?<\/p>\n

What is just or unjust? Can I embrace all confusions, all paradoxes… and could I let go of wanting to figure it all out, just for right now?<\/p>\n

Mercury in Scorpio<\/strong> opposes Uranus in Taurus<\/strong><\/em> — and both planets are currently Retrograde. This third opposition might create some sudden and unexpected insights. We might feel nervous or anxious, as we become aware of what’s not working for us anymore — and the itch to move forward and realize a new vision feels very strong. It may well be true that something needs to change… but we must take care not to rush into anything.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> How is my day-to-day thinking being interrupted by “divine interventions”? What messages might those interventions have for me? What needs more space in my life?<\/p>\n

How might thinking outside the box support my connections with others? What needs a new approach in my communications or interactions with others? Might staying\u00a0flexible when it comes to my intimate relationships or financial partnerships be beneficial to me?<\/p>\n

How might staying calm — in this uncertain climate — support my sanity?<\/p>\n

Venus in Virgo<\/strong> trines Jupiter in\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>:\u00a0We have a chance to grow in our social and work relationships at this time. Ask yourself:<\/strong> What work connections might expand my horizons? How might a more realistic view or perspective do the\u00a0same? Where could practical collaborations create expansion or good will long-term?<\/p>\n

As mentioned earlier, Pluto is still Stationing<\/em>, and therefore exalted<\/em>; we have been more aware of its impact on us, and this can sometimes cause discomfort. Rather\u00a0than pushing into that discomfort and creating more of it, or pulling away from it to create more ease, we are being asked to simply “be\u00a0with\u00a0it” or “hang out with it” until the planet picks up speed again around Oct. 24th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To sum it all up for this Super New Moon<\/strong>: Life sometimes forces us into dark and difficult experiences, and whenever this happens, we need to keep in mind that the “gold” in any such experience lies with how we evolve as a result.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/strong> Where do I experience major tests around integrity? Boundaries? Social propriety (standards that are deemed socially acceptable or appropriate)? Where do I need to take more responsibility? Where do I need to draw the line and say: “enough is enough”?<\/p>\n

As best as you can, remember you’re\u00a0always\u00a0accomplishing things and making progress — even if it’s not visible yet.\u00a0Self-care\u00a0is a very important component in this — in fact, without it, we can’t accomplish much, as we’re always behind the eight-ball. Ask yourself: What role does rest and recreation play in my ability to achieve my highest potential? In my playing a meaningful part in society?<\/p>\n

For the next four weeks<\/strong>, do your best to seek empowering relationships without compromising your essential self, values, and future visions — and in turn, empower others to be themselves, and allow them to honor their differences.

\nHere is a beautiful quote from a Newsletter I received.<\/strong> I already shared this on my Facebook page and on Instagram, but for those of you who haven’t seen it yet, please read it and share it with your friends and family, if it resonates:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We encourage you to focus on solutions rather than battling problems. We encourage you to focus on supporting health and vitality, rather than battling illness. We encourage you to focus on the political ideals you love rather than focusing with vitriol on that which you hate. Your actions might look identical, but your energy, your emotions, and therefore what you attract, would be totally different…. The Sun doesn’t fight or hate the darkness of night, instead it loves to share its shine. You can’t get rid of an ideology you despise, but you can empower one you love. Stop the struggles with one another. Stop battling yourselves. Start instead empowering, enlivening, and focusing upon that which you wish to love and support, and even when you feel the need to battle something in your current world, do it with love for what you desire, for in that reality every soul will “win.”<\/em> — Messages from Ann & the Angels, visionsofheaven.com<\/p>\n

Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 22-26 degrees of\u00a0Libra, Aries, Capricorn\u00a0or\u00a0Cancer? If so, you may feel the effects of this Super New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our\u00a0Ascendant\u00a0or Sun-sign in\u00a0Leo\u00a0or\u00a0Cancer\u00a0(since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer).<\/em><\/p>\n

The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intention<\/strong>s for this month’s Moon cycle. Intentions<\/em> are best set soon after the New Moon becomes exact, and definitely not<\/em> during a Moon void of course phase<\/a> — so this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 3:31pm <\/strong>and 6:11pm on Oct. 16th,<\/strong> or\u00a0between 1:05am on Oct. 17th<\/strong>, and 3:31pm, Oct. 18th<\/strong> (New York-Time).<\/p>\n

If you live outside the EDT timezone<\/strong> (i.e. US East Coast time), I recommend you\u00a0join my Facebook Fan-page<\/a> or follow me on Twitter<\/a>; I will be posting reminders to let you know when it is time to set your intentions \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
