This Libra New Moon 🦋⚖️♎️ is strongly tied to themes of Venus Retrograde happening from October 3rd till November 14th. As Libra is ruled by Venus, they both relate to ideas around relationships, love, abundance, beauty and the feminine principles 💜. This New Moon is highlighting our connections and relationship dynamics, whilst Venus Retrograding (first through Scorpio then through Libra) is uncovering all the hidden ways we feel unworthy and block love and abundance.
Libra, as a mutable Air Sign is linked to the mind, intellect and mental planes. Libra is the only sign in the Zodiac not symbolised by animal or human, rather an inanimate object (the scales). In its highest expression, Libra has the ability to be impartial, not to be swayed by animalistic desires or ego needs. Libra is also represented by the ‘Justice’ or ‘Temperance’ card in the Major Arcana (Rider Waite Tarot), indicating both balance and mental fortitude towards fair advice and moral decisions. ⚖️
In its shadow expression (or when out of balance), Libran energy can become codependent or overly focused on partnerships. It can also move towards conceit, indecision, being overly pious, arrogant or intellectually superior. This is where the scales come into play, this New Moon asks where have we stepped out of balance in our lives? 🌸
In many ways, Libra is about finding and establishing ‘right relationship’ and harmony with those around us and in our daily lives. It puts a spotlight on the ways we nurture our relationships, often at a cost to ourselves.
With Venus moving retrograde through the shadowy depths of Scorpio ♏️ , this is revealing deep insights about our closest connections and community partnerships. Above all else, Scorpio seeks the truth, no matter how uncomfortable, dark or inconvenient. This is where true transformation begins. 💜
During this New Moon and Venus Retrograde period, ask yourself:
-Are you truly being seen in your important relationships?
-What is blocking you from being and feeling truly loved?
-What relationship dynamics or habits are no longer serving you?
