The Sun and Moon pair up today giving us a New Moon in Libra. The sky is awash with coupling at the moment - Jupiter/Uranus, Venus/Mars, Saturn/Mercury, Neptune/Chiron and Pluto approaching the Moon's nodes and this New Moon in the sign of partnership offers opportunities to reflect on these themes in the days ahead.
In a way, Libra is the fulcrum sign leading us into maturity. It is the point at which realisation dawns that, in order to get along, we have to let a part of ourselves go and incorporate 'the other'. Libra is a broker and deal maker. Taking advantage of this energy means action needs to be taken and this New Moon is the seed point of those actions; to put away self serving childishness and step up to the maturity plate - broaden our shoulders, our ideas and relationships with others.
The Sabian Symbol reads 'Circular Paths'. Recurring thoughts and emotions and individual and collective patterns of behaviour may be noticeable now. If there are any events 'going around in circles' then the task with this lunation is to step away from negative cycles - this may involve letting go of something or using Libra's logical faculties to understand what part we play in those dramas. With a retrograde Venus approaching and Mars/Venus in Scorpio this action may simply amount to a chance to analyse exactly how you feel - taking stock of situations, assessing the energetic contributions that fuel them and metaphorically (or even literally) balancing the books.
As the leaves in the northern hemisphere begin to brown, so to must we approach this autumn season with grace, maturity and collective and individual responsibility.
