A lot of folks seem to be in a tremendous hurry to fire off rituals on the New Moon. Typically, I sleep on the New Moon because her potent powers have only just started the journey toward building strength. Of course, she’s in her full glory at the Full Moon. For ritual purposes, when the intention involves attraction or growth, I tend to wait until at least the first quarter to petition the great powers to act on my behalf.
That said, let’s look at today’s New Moon in ‘can’t we all just get along’ Libra. This month, the answer to that question is iffy as the New Moon is exactly conjunct agitator Mars and at odds with disruptor Uranus. There’s a feeling that something is brewing under the surface.
You’ll feel that irritation most where you find 14 degrees of Libra in your chart. It’s where you’ll feel compelled to push ahead with a change that feels long overdue. Will you jump the gun? Probably. But sometimes, you have to harness a sudden burst of courage and let it propel you toward the shift you desire. The house where you find 14 degrees of Taurus will also register the effect of a sudden shake-up. Libra is all about building harmonious relationships. Today’s New Moon suggests that you might have to break up to make up. Or you might have to flex your freedom and make a run for it.
Libras and those with Libra rising or moon will be more decisive than usual. The swift action you initiate over the next two weeks is bound to create an upset with others.
Aries, and those with Aries rising or moon, might be at the mercy of others. During this moon cycle, finances could be affected by what others do, for better or worse.
Cancer, especially those born in the middle of the sign, and those with Cancer Rising or moon, may have to contend with disruption on the home and family front. For Capricorn Sun, moon, and rising, disruption in your career could prompt a change of trajectory.
These energies will be felt more strongly by the signs mentioned above with placements in the middle of the sign.
For everyone, the vibe of this moon cycle (from now until the Full Moon) is about confronting disharmony and making changes that will reset the balance and restore peace. Ask your guides and protectors to prepare a soft landing. You’ll need it if you’re prompted or pushed to make a huge leap.
