Our New Moon this month crests at 2:12 PM EST (adjust for DST), in the Cardinal Air sign Libra at 26 degrees, on the 19th. The Libra New Moon brings such a different vibe than did the Virgo New Moon last month, although Libra has some balance issues, for the most part Libra can help us to find the beauty we might be missing in our lives. Libra is an intellectual sign that is ruled by Venus, therein lies the combination of beauty and brains! Drawn by those things that bring us pleasure, Libra can enhance our lives by assisting us in our quest for more compassion, consideration, and eloquence to express ourselves in a more articulate manner.
If you have been putting off a conversation that should be held soon, this New Moon can help you find exactly the right words in order to get your point across. If you have a presentation coming along that will bring you the opportunity of a new job or a raise in pay, allow your wishes during this New Moon in Libra to heighten your language and the ability to present yourself in the very best light. If you have any legal matters pending — use your affirmations during this New Moon in order to put a more positive spin on the outcome.
It is difficult to describe how strong the sign Libra truly is with the folderol of artistry, music, theater, marriage, and flowers. It seems as though Libra is kind of willy nilly when it comes to anything serious or business-like. It would be a mistake to take Libra lightly as it is a powerful Cardinal sign that can and will get things done. Often consumed by those ethereal things that make our daily life more pleasant, there is within our Libra brethren a strong core of work ethic, strength in getting things done, and keeping on an even keel.
The one thing that throws our Libras for a loop is being given two or more choices, or having an unbalanced outlook on life. Indeed Libra’s strength is most noticeable when given absolutes and/or a simple choice. They will take charge and be able to be accountable for any and all combinations of any program, problem, or pressure. Never count a Libra out — they work behind the scenes and will win because they have covered every contingency.
Libras do love things of beauty, and are often beautiful themselves. The New Moon in Libra will bring to light those things that we find attractive and comely in our lives. Everyone needs a little corner of light and loveliness in their homes, no matter how humble. A simple field flower in a jar can bring a spot of natural beauty that fills our heart with joy. Those photos on the front of the refrigerator can be filled with the faces of our loved ones, and every time we glance at them they make us smile. In this fast-paced hard-working world, it is sometimes difficult to stop and smell the roses. I’m suggesting that we not only stop, but perhaps buy a bunch and bring them home! Daisy’s are also great!
As with all of these later degree New Moons, our Libra New Moon cresting at 2:12 PM EST, is followed by a void-of-course period, so I believe the best chance of having your affirmations and wishes be created strongly and vigorously will be to write out your wish list after the Moon crests in Scorpio at 8:42 PM EST (adjust for DST).
Of course, our New Moon in Libra energy will last for the next 24 hours — be sure to write out your list concisely and clearly in order for them to be entered into the ethereal mists of the Universal flow.
Peace
