Every month the moon rotates into the same constellation as the sun. This lunar-solar conjunction is what we refer to as a New Moon.

New moons are generally symbolic of new beginnings and offer us an opportunity to also wish something with faith and gratitude into our existing lives.

This New moon in Libra is a time to consider what intentions we need to set around our existing relationships, partnerships, and friendships. Mainly because Libra is all about how we relate to others, this aspect is highlighted.

The New Moon in Libra is projecting us into space where we need to get real and be most honest about our feelings relating to the people with whom we live, work, study, and/or make love.

The big question we are being invited to ask here, is whether we are surrounded by the right people?

We are being pushed by this dark moon, to identify which relationships are the most challenging, and then ask ourselves why so, with the deepest humility and compassion for ourselves. Then set some intentions and boundaries of course.

Humanity is not in a very good predisposition presently, and we as human beings are in dire need of communion, love, knowingness, and peace.

It’s a time to walk softly beside our loved ones and observe what healing can be brought to the current journey we are all walking side by side on. We might as well stride with compassion in one hand and humility in the other. Easier said then done I hear.

Well, lets deepen our understanding into what Libra is really representing and how we can tap into its wonderful harmonizing balancing effect.

Libra is said to derive from the Greek goddess Themis, whose name translates to “divine law.” Themis is depicted blindfolded, holding a sword ready to cut through all illusions, denial and delusions.

Libra has always been known as the balancer and during this dark moon in Libra, choices project us into a position where we can cut our worlds in two, push all that we can see and feel into one position or the other, and/or, we can additionally tunnel a little deeper into understanding the real meaning of the sword of Thermis.

Libra’s sword is not exactly a weapon of destruction, division or exclusion. It is destined to unearth truth, justice and to draw boundaries.

Boundaries are not meant to isolate or reduce the value of certain people or their ideas but more rather to love ourselves and others more wholly. Boundaries are communicative. They are necessary and beneficial for all of us.

The people in our lives constantly mirror us and the paths we are on while we journey. The interpersonal conflicts that arise reflect what triggers what needs attention.

And while Everyone we meet is teaching us and illuminating our strengths and vulnerabilities, we still are being invited through this new moon to use the sword and balance to address what truths we need to focus our intentions around.

For example Those who irritate us, are just showing us where we may need to observe and witness parts of ourselves.

This dark moon in Libra emerges as a crisis of consciousness, stress, anxiety, fatigue, disorganization, and powerful emotional reactions.

Still, everything will most certainly work out,even in event of any unplanned imprevistos. With Pluto at the heart of it all, karma is definitely getting a work out on.

We just know something is brewing and its always great to simply work on what we are working through placing one foot infront of the other, while utilising the Libra energies in our favour as all new moons present an opportunity to manifest something profound.

Therefore take a deep breath and while feeling the fear of the risks you desire to take, do it anyway. Saturn places insecurity at our disposition be the fool from.the major arcana and take the risk ( of course calculated) dont over think it or analyse it just follow the path that unfolds before you theough the actions and unitiatives youve undertaken.

Libra asks us to remain loyal to our principles, while we decipher a compromise that doesnt cause us to give away our power.
