The Libra New Moon tonight on October 21 will take place at 11.25 pm, positioned at 28 degrees and 21 minutes of Libra, so will be positioned in the 29th degree of the sign. The Sabian symbol for the Sun and Moon is “Mankind’s vast and enduring effort to reach for knowledge transferable from generation to generation” A deep sense of participation in and commitment to social processes which seek to bring to all men Truth and a greater Life, conscious participation.

The luminaries will be closely applying to asteroid Astarte, Canaanite Goddess of Love and War echoing the energy when Venus entered Libra the sign of her rulership. They will be in opposition to Eris and Chiron in Aries representing the deep wounds caused by war and conflict through aggressive behavior and squared by Jupiter in Cancer, applying to Pythia the priestess from Apollo’s oracular temples and Hathor the Egyptian Neter with dominion over the Moon and Motherhood.

A Grand Square will be completed from Pluto in Aquarius separating from Medea in Capricorn, who had a tragic role in aiding Jason to obtain the Golden Fleece from her family in Colchis.

There are magical themes here around the outcomes of conflict and war.  With the Sun and Moon in the sign of Libra, the energy focus is generally around:

  • Seeking and maintaining balance and a peaceful environment
  • Relating more deeply and harmoniously with those you love in all areas of life
  • Surrounding yourself with beautiful things
  • Remaining upbeat about perceived threats to your relationships, developing more self-belief and inner security
  • Assessing expectations, especially within relationships, ensuring that they are reasonable and achievable, where possible remaining open to what happens in the moment
  • Stimulating your intellect through discussion or study of alternative views
  • Making decisions about situations you have been procrastinating over

The area most aligned with the position of the New Moon can be best gleaned from your natal horoscope chart, however if you only know your Sun Sign, then affirmations around the areas indicated below are likely to be the most powerful, some adjustment may be required to the life areas described:
