17 October 2020 - New Moon in ♎ Libra @ 6.31m AEDT
16 October 2020 @8.31pm London BST / 16 October 2020 @7am New York EDT
The New Moon and two to three days before for going within, to honour the darkness - the dark space/energy from which life is conceived; the feminine-creative energy.
Here is where we meet and (hopefully) sit with what is stirring within. It’s a time to slow down, not necessarily stop, a time to connect with and trust and honour your intuition.
Here is where we begin to feel into what our Soul requires from us for the lunar month ahead. And here is where all potential exists - this is where we begin to sense the dreams, visions and fears that have been awaiting the right time to surface.
The New Moon, for me is the time to sit and pay attention to the whispers of my Soul, to honour the needs of my body and Soul. It’s a time to recharge, to replenish my energy reserves and to begin to energetically prepare for the lunar month ahead.
It’s about two to three days after the New Moon, when the silver sliver of the Crescent Moon appears in the daytime sky, that it’s time to get clear on our goals for the coming month and begin to formulate a plan of action from what our Soul has been collecting and sharing during the Dark of Moon/New Moon time - allowing for ebbs and flows, shifts and changes.
♎ Libra energies…
Libra likes balance, harmony, beauty, and peace at all costs. Depending on their natal chart, some Libra natives will have more of a tendency to surround themselves with luxurious items that reflect just how much value they place on status and ‘looking the part’, ensuring that they always look immaculate - on the outside at least - the inside might be a different story altogether.
Other Libra natives, will be happy and at peace in more modest surroundings, knowing and feeling that a sense of energetic balance and comfort is what’s most important to them.
Libra likes to look at all sides of a situation before offering their opinion - this is why they’re often depicted as indecisive, when the truth is that they just want to ensure that all involved parties will be getting a fair deal. If you ask a Libra for advice and they give it, know that they’ve considered all aspects and possibilities before offering it. It's important to make sure that you acknowledge the time and energy that they’ve invested in some way as an energy exchange so that there's a sense of harmonic balance surrounding the encounter or interaction.
When it comes to romance, it’s often said that Libra is in love with the idea of love. Whilst this might be true, many are also aware of the importance of feeling supported, heard and accepted as they are, and will have no problem preferring to love themselves rather than accepting less than they deserve in an unfulfilling relationship or partnership.
🌑 New Moon in ♎ Libra
With the Moon and Sun in Libra, this weekend we're going to feel the intensity of what's out of alignment with respects to our relationships - I love to lead you into the realm of the shadows of relationship with Self/self rather than relationship with others, as this is where the magick resides. So if you're ready, let's delve in, shall we?
This weekend, and for entirety of the Libra lunar month - until the Scorpio New Moon on 15 November - we are going to be exploring the underlying energies of relationship with Self (spiritual) and self (human) and what that looks like compared to what we're being called and propelled into.
We will be feeling discombobulated, there's no way around it, the only way is *through* it. And so it begins with things *looking* okay on the surface, which progresses quite rapidly to a sense of dis-ease and discomfort, which is where the discombobulation comes in. The more we attempt to maintain the status quo, the more *off* everything is going to feel. You get to choose how you navigate your way through this.
This is where we start to express ourselves in any way that we can - possibly not always with the greatest integrity, in an attempt to find some kind of harmonic balance in our lives. It's important that we maintain a sense of heart-centredness throughout all of our interactions, and if that feels too difficult, it may be time to step back and spend some time alone to contemplate not what you perceive to be *wrong*, rather what you feel is missing, which will lead you to the revelation of what's important to and for you at this pivotal phase of your life.
Superficial attempts to regain balance and faux happiness will cause more discord than is necessary, but as with a lot of things on this human journey, we habitually tend to lean towards what we believe is *easier to do* - the thing is though, that at this stage in our evolution and with Mother Gaia vibrating at a higher frequency than ever, those old ways just won't cut it; and the discomfort of staying where we are proves to be a lot worse than walking away or taking a break so that we might be able to recalibrate. Baby steps are what you need right now.
The immense discomfort, fieriness and agitation that we feel - and have been feeling for some time now - is being fuelled by Black Moon Lilith who is preparing to move into Taurus mid-week. For now, whilst she's still in fiery Aries, she's fanning the flames one last time to create enough discomfort so that we can get out of our own way and finally take that next step. It's the final push before we emerge into the new reality of our choosing. Remember: this is for and about YOU, not anyone else.
Wow, that was powerful - take a deep breath. And another. Feel the breath flowing into and circulating in your sacral centre - beneath the navel and the pubic bone. Feel how supported you are, and how you have never been abandoned, neglected, nor forgotten by Source. Do you FEEL that?!
🌑
Additional message:
Beloved,
Allow yourself to FEEL the anger, allow yourself to express it in whichever feels loving, nourishing, and supportive to and for yourself, so that you may process it, harming none in the process.
You've neglected this part of yourself for too long. It matters not that in the distant and even recent past you've attempted to maintain some semblance of harmony, even when deep within you, you were experiencing anything but.
You now know better, you now know that you can no longer deny this anger that is consuming you. You know without a doubt, that the next step that you take must be a healing one, you FEEL this stirring deep within you, don't you?
We are here to remind you that the next steps will not so much be physically initiated by you, they will instead move through you, from a long-forgotten part of Self that was Contracted to guide you through this challenging time.
Beloved, this fiery aspect is also a part of you, embrace it, there is nothing to fear; what you fear is that you may not be able to contain the medicine that it is stirring within you - but you can, and you shall. We are all here, holding space for you, awaiting your call for help, support, or that next nudge that you need. All you need to do is state your intention from the heart, and we will be right there with you. That is all that we need to be able to guide you more fully - we cannot override the freewill that has been written into your Contract.
Stop this inner battle that you have with yourself, it serves no-one - unless there is a reason or you receive some benefit for continuing to engage in it? Only you know the answer to that, and only you can put an end to it. Look at your options, allow your heart to guide you to the one that lights you up the most - that is your way to freedom.
You are so incredibly and divinely loved xx

New Moon in Libra energies for business…
Stop trying to do everything. Can you not see that it's not leading anywhere? Except for burnout of course.
Pretending to have it all together takes a lot more time, energy and effort than admitting that you're overwhelmed, exhausted, or that you need help.
If you're choosing to keep all your plates spinning despite the impact that it's having on your life - physically, energetically, emotionally, mentally - it's time to re-evaluate your priorities - perfect now that Mercury is in retrograde.
Put everything down, take a few breaths, get some fresh air, get some Sun, take a nap, drink some water, eat some fruit, hug your pet, do something for YOU. CHOOSE YOU!
You cannot work your way through the debris of what's collapsing around you. Take some time to step back, so that you can rest your energetic circuits, it's long overdue. If you keep going, the next stage is burnout. Again, the choice is yours.
It's time to release what's no longer working, if you're open and honest with yourself, you'll be able to see what continues when it should actually be released. You'll be able to see/sense what drains you and what lights you up.
Invite your life/business to show you what's out of alignment, you'll be surprised at how quickly it responds. Gather the information you need and once Mercury has ended his retrograde journey - 20 November - then, you can begin to feel into the things and threads that caught your attention from now until then.
For now, make the most of this Dark of Moon and New Moon phase - rest, get back in touch with you - rediscover why you started your business in the first place, and see what she's ready to share with you about your next adventure.
Don't forget to revisit the October Energies - in the 2020 Tarot Numerology Reading on the blog - to release the next layer of medicine that you are ready to recover, integrate and anchor.
