New Moons are times of new beginnings, planting new seeds and setting of intentions.
With the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus in Libra this is one of the most favorable times to look at our relationships with others through objective eyes. The question we need to ask is, do we attract relationships in our lives that are vital and sustain us? or do we attract others into our lives that wound and devitalize us? Like the country singer Kenny Rodgers says, “ You have to know when to hold them and when to fold them”.
This is a powerful time to examine our relationship with ourselves. If we cannot love ourselves, value ourselves, certainly we’re not going to truly relate to another, understand their needs and love them. Libra needs to understand that self-love, self worth is something that’s internally generated and we don’t need to be dependent onfinding the significant other for personal fulfillment and happiness. Chinese proverb says “ He who looks to others for fulfillment, will never be fulfilled”.
With Libra there is a tendency of over identification with looking for someone or something outside of us to fulfill their most essential core needs.
The degree for the New Moon from Zodiacal symbology reads: A woman naked standing on a crescent moon, the stars glittering behind her in a sky of blue. Denotes an attractive person who is in danger of being held in the chains of sense and at the will of others. His nature is impulsive and artistic, restless and pleasure loving. His desires are strong and a very sensuous love of earth life. It is a symbol of Vacillation.
The astrological glyph for Libra represents the setting sun. The ancients thought it was an altar to the gods of light. Sunset is a sacred time to our people as the Elders tell us that when the sky begins to turn orange (sunset) this is when the doors to the spirit world are open. The veil between the two worlds are at their thinnest. This is when we begin the fire for the sacred sweat lodge ceremony and offer our prayers to the creator and our ancestors. Libra corresponds to the west point on the Medicine Wheel and is called the “looks within place” a point of reflection and healing.
The animal totem for the west point on the wheel is the Grizzly Bear who retreats into the darkness of its cave to renew and heal itself. The bear in most native cultures isoften associated with healing.
Mars enters Leo on the 16th and stays there until June 2010 because of its retrograde cycle beginning on December 20,2009. The warrior (Mars) bows before the King (Leo) and offers a new strategy of attack. Mars retrograde in any fire sign suggests a Slow Burn!
Saturn makes its ingress into Libra on October 29th, 2009. The last time Saturn visited Libra was back in September 22,1980 the very day Iraq invaded Iran! Believe it or not Libra is a sign of war and conflict despite its association with peace, cooperation and
harmony. Some other interesting events that occurred during Saturn’s last transit in Libra was John Lennon was shot dead on December 8, 1980, The assassination attempt on president Reagan in March 1981 and Israel bombs Iraq nuclear plant on July 7, 1981.
Recently, we all heard the rumors of Israel wanting to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities if open discussion and negotiations fail to produce conciliatory results. Let us all hope that peace, diplomacy and cooperation become the reality.
On a personal level Saturn in Libra suggests the need to redefine, reevaluate our commitment within existing relationships. Saturn will show you how to build on what’s working in your present relationships and to cut off what’s not working. Time for a reality check!
Saturn is returning to its natal place in the Sibily chart for the United States on October 29,2009. President Obama continues to build new bridges with the world community through the art of diplomacy, reconciliation and cooperation. Equal rights, Gay rights, Animal rights all take center stage and come into high focus. Important judicial appointments will be made during Saturn’s sojourn in Libra.
Jupiter turned direct on October 12 and is still in the company of Chiron and Neptune in Aquarius. The hope and promise of compassionate universal health care still echoes loudly with the collective community. One of the down sides of Jupiter is it can
promise more than it delivers! Hope springs eternal! Chiron (wounded healer) turns direct on October 31 helping us to open our medicine bags with renewed knowledge andwisdom. Group healing brings big medicine!
Major shift of gears on November 15 as Saturn in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn. The threat of terrorism could emerge from the dark underworld. Old structures, businesses and governments are torn down in order to give birth to the new. Many things that gave us a sense of security or comfort in the past are no longer viable at this time. This is a time of release and letting go of what’s not working inour lives. Give it up! Pluto always takes something away before he leaves us with his gifts.
We are not held back by the love we didn’t receive in the past, but by the love we’re not extending in the present.
