The Libra new moon on October 16th marks the center of a cosmic storm we have been and are experiencing. The sun and the moon are joined  together in Libra and they are in direct opposition to Mars retrograde in Aries. They are forming a powerful t-square that tells us about influences of a challenging nature to Saturn, Pluto, and Jupiter in Capricorn.

Most of us have heard ‘as it is above, so it will be below’. Astrology gives us a way to see the effects to us by the planets that surround us. How they are relating affects us because we are one of the bodies they relate to and they are bodies of energy we relate to.

So, the planets are fighting with each other, creating chaos and breakdown. This theme or themes with this new moon energy could feel more magnetized like the energy that comes with a full moon. Full moons bring experiences to full awareness and completion. We could experience certain things end and certain things begin, all at the same time. So, watch out for being triggered by others. Be careful not to be pulled into conflict. Be patient. Take your time. Remind yourself “I have enough time to get everything done.”

Things may not be as they seem. Things can feel like they are moving so fast right now. We cannot believe what we  hear or see right now. Both Mercury and Mars are retrograde, so we are not getting the full story. Neptune will oppose Venus in Virgo (later this week) and Venus is the ruler of the new moon Libra. So, this is creating deception and confusion. So, this means we are not  being told the truth and we need to be patient, wait and be strategic. Patience will pay off.

With this Libra new moon coming, the inspiration is to stay centered, balance things out and to work out any conflict or differences that come up. This energy can make people feel frustrated and angry and anger never solves problems. Avoid working with people who frustrate you or are very critical.

If you cannot achieve goals you have set, reschedule and do not  be hard on yourself for not being able to complete things right now. Have compassion for yourself and others. The most positive side of Neptune’s energy influence here is compassion.

As you have been hearing me report, Mercury the God of communication is retrograde in Scorpio. Mercury is the only planet that can travel through all three states of consciousness which are the conscious mind, the subconscious, and the unconscious.

When Mercury is retrograde, especially in Scorpio, the energy pulls us deep into the subconscious mind. This can cause communication breakdowns, delays, and misunderstandings. This is  why we do not want to overreact, because we may not have all the facts. There is a turning point around October 25^th and this is good news. The sun comes together with Mercury and shines light on areas your mind has been focused on.

Also, there is more good news,  and it is that the Capricorn cycle will be ending in December around the winter Solstice on December 21^st and Aquarius will become the dominant energy. Aquarius is an air sign and is quite different from Capricorn which is an earth energy. This will be the first time in hundreds of years that air will be the dominant energy on the planet and will be dominant for the next 200 years.

The Aquarius energy will bring new inventions, innovations, freedom, respect for life, and a unity for everyone. This will be a new energy influence for us here on earth. This equates to people first, then the environment, and then together we can all benefit. This is why, governments and big business will either change and evolve, or be replaced. They will not be able to survive as they are with the new influences that are coming in. This is what is causing the chaos and everything that is breaking from the top down.

We are moving into higher vibrations and this is the cosmic hurricane before the new and bright new age.

The Libra new moon may reveal the old roles that we each have played which are no longer who we each honestly and truthfully are. The powerful Pluto influences are telling us there is no other way but to purge the old behaviors, responses, and patterns. Pluto’s energy demands that we surrender. The cycle we are in is one of taking responsibility and purging.

So, the best thing to do right now is surrender what is no longer a part of you, is changing for you and what is leaving your life right now. Make it a regular day to day action to practice detachment. Do your best to practice conscious awareness even though mercury is retrograde. You may find it helpful to journal or make notes with all the ideas you are receiving right now.

Right now, it is not good to judge  anything. Remind yourself to be present and to stay connected to your higher consciousness. Stay tuned into your intuitive and spiritual guidance. Make notes of what is coming through to you from your higher self and your intuition.  It is good to meditate daily as often as you can and to take time to ground yourself by  going outside and enjoying nature and the sunshine. It is important to make time to  ground yourself, and quiet your  mind and connect with your inner being.

There will be signs that you will want to pay attention to. For example, say someone  contacts you offering you a new opportunity. This is not a time to decide but to recognize that this could be a clue.

This could be something that offers you a solution to a problem. Make note of this, explore it and research it because it could be something you end up doing in the future. Also pay close attention to what your body is telling you. Does what your experiencing make you feel good or does it feel like an old idea. Take time to note if your body gives you a message of pain or it feels goodness.

With the powerful influences of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn right now, we need to remember their influences do not deny us to be successful,  but with their influences there is always a price to pay if you try to control things and push forward. You may have something come up that is new in business or in relationships.

Astrologers have been talking about “the great reset” and how it is guiding each of us to take a new path. However, due to Mars and Mercury Retrograde, we may not experience this until after they go direct in the beginning and the middle of November. This is why this is a good time to study and practice or study something new and move through anything difficult. The most important thing is to avoid getting stuck in the difficulties. This is just a process and if we can recognize all the good coming from the process and the work and give ourselves credit for continuing on our paths, we will find that we feel much better than if we stayed stuck in the fight.

We have all been through so much this year! So, we need to remember to rest and to play  to keep our immune systems  strong. Libra rules balance. However, October is going to be a shocking month. The intensity and pressure can throw us off balance. So, we need to step back, breathe deeply and practice detaching so that we can feel some sense of peace during this huge time of transformation.

So, let the universe show you the way to go forward. With Mercury in Scorpio, the energy of the phoenix is strong. The story of the phoenix is that it rises from the ashes and the message is that there will be a  new us that is about to be born. This is exciting and scary all at the same time!

So, remember, if something is not working for you, let it go. Be open to the new opportunities. Think about what is it that you desire. What makes you happy? These will be the clues you want to follow. We are all being guided. We are all being asked and “told” to pay attention and listen. We do not have to figure everything out and know where  we are going. We just need to keep an open mind and an open heart.

There will be more good news also as Venus in Virgo will form a positive aspect or conversation with Jupiter Pluto, and Saturn in Capricorn later this month. Stay tuned 😀

So, I say the message here is to be practical, practice grounding, and to stay grounded to earth in your approach to life. In your work, with your health,  and with your money and your patience will pay off. Better times are coming!
