This is quite a potent New Moon, as it is being activated by a lot of the heavyweight planets in one way or another. We could be called to leave something behind in the dark of the Moon that no longer serves us, to allow space for whatever is waiting to come in. This is a time for planting seeds for the month ahead, so it could help to be mindful of the thoughts that pop up during this time, the signs and omens that show the way and the conversations we have, as they could hold clues that reveal our deeper desires and intentions for growth. Libra is the sign of relationship, amongst other things, so we could find that our relationship patterns come to the fore during this Moon, potentially calling for us to decide what we need from our relationships as we move forward. We could find that new relationships come in, or we could have endings and/or an opportunity for a new beginning within our current relationships.
The Libra part of us likes things to be balanced, fair, harmonious, equal, reciprocal and mutual, so this could be a good time to consider what might be out of balance in our lives, and to recalibrate in order to bring a greater sense of harmony and equilibrium. What feels out of balance at the moment, physically, emotionally, spiritually? Is there a situation in our lives that feels unfair or unjust, and how can we redress the balance? Is there an equal balance between giving and receiving in our relationships? Do we tend to turn the other cheek and avoid conflict for the sake of keeping the peace or maintaining connection? Do we tend to lose ourselves in relationship? Are we prone to people pleasing? How can we better turn up in our relationships – what do we need to work on in ourselves, and what might we need from others? Where have we been compromising too much, or sitting on the fence? How can we bring more beauty and harmony into our lives?
Venus, the planet of love and beauty and the ruler of this Moon, is also in Libra, which is her home sign so she is happy there. Venus could make it easier to find a happy medium with others, finding a greater sense of peace, fairness and harmony and resolving any conflict. The Libra part of us can be very diplomatic and tactful and helps us to bring things up in a reasonable, considerate manner rather than being reactive or defensive. Venus in Libra is very refined and graceful and really appreciates beauty, so this could be a good time to beautify ourselves or our surroundings in some way. It could also be a great time for collaboration, as Venus brings out our more sociable side and helps greatly with teamwork and cooperation. If we need to resolve something with anyone, this energy can help each person to really listen to each other and express their needs.
Interestingly, we also have Mars, the warrior planet, joining forces with Mercury, the planet of the mind and communication, in an exact conjunction, so it’s a good job we have all of this Libra energy around to smooth things over! However, this conjunction could be very helpful, as it brings the courage to confront and act upon anything we might have been trying to sweep under the carpet or ignore. Mars and Mercury are in Scorpio, a sign that calls for emotional honesty and isn’t afraid to peer into the shadows and bring up uncomfortable material. There is certainly the potential for power plays, heated discussions, truth-telling and conversations that really penetrate to the heart of the matter. This combination certainly won’t allow us to gloss things over or avoid confronting ourselves, and helps us to be real, even if it’s not “pretty” or “nice”.
However, the Libran energy can help us to have honest, revealing, questioning conversations both with ourselves and others while still being kind, tactful and graceful. In fact, when we are brave enough to be real, raw, honest, open, exposed and vulnerable, it can lead to a greater sense of connection and intimacy. Interestingly, Mars and Mercury are part of a harmonious Grand trine with Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn and the North Node in Pisces, helping bring a caring, nurturing energy and emotional intelligence to the picture, as well as grounded intuition, sensitivity, healthy boundaries, empathy and compassion. With the North Node involved, this could be a proper fated soul growth moment, especially for those of us with personal planets and angles between 15° and 22° of a sign. Mars and Mercury are at 20° Scorpio, while the North Node is currently at 17° Pisces.
Chiron the Wounded Healer in Aries is opposing the Libra Sun and Moon, which could also force us to be honest and open about our needs. Chiron is bringing deep healing around our right to exist and simply be who we are, as well as exposing any fears that if we assert ourselves, do what’s right for us or express our needs it will disturb the peace somehow or bring rejection or disconnection. The opposition between Libra and Aries calls for us to figure out a way to have connection and balanced relationships without abandoning ourselves or sacrificing our needs. Ultimately, we are being called to find a healthy balance between our need to be in relationship and our need for self-ownership and honouring our own path. Sometimes it is hard to find that balance!
Combined with Mars and Mercury in Scorpio, we have the potential for bringing hidden resentments out into the open and talking about them honestly and openly. We can’t have true harmony within our relationships unless we are brave enough to speak up. It doesn’t do anybody a service to hide our true feelings out of fear of rocking the boat or fear that we will be rejected for who we are. Silence and hidden resentment can destroy trust within our relationships in such an insidious way. This Moon seems to be asking us to be real and truthful, even if it is uncomfortable. And it starts with being honest with ourselves. Luckily, Venus in Libra is here to smooth the way and bring grace and consideration to our interactions!
The Sun and Moon are also the focal point of yet another Yod, or Finger of God formation, albeit this one is out of sign at the time the Moon is exact. Neptune and Uranus are both “pointing the finger” at the Sun and Moon while Pluto is forming a dynamic square to this lunation. We have such potential for profound shifts, soul growth, moments of clarity and spiritual insight at the moment, with Uranus, Neptune and Pluto all connecting harmoniously with one another. There is the possibility of epiphanies, shifts in perspective, serendipitous opportunities and “aha” moments that can bring about profound transformation and growth, restoring balance. If we are open and listening, there is a sense that Spirit is very present and is sending us quite obvious messages, synchronicities and crystal-clear realisations, some of which could be quite uncomfortable and call for us to be very honest with ourselves. However, such amazing breakthroughs are possible right now!
Neptune moves from Aries back into Pisces only a few hours after the New Moon, where it will remain at 29° Pisces, the very last degree of the entire zodiac, until 27 January. This feels significant somehow, and could involve some kind of release and tying up loose ends, creating closure and completing a cycle that began when Neptune went into Pisces in 2011. 29° Pisces is such a powerful degree, and symbolises surrender, release, endings, spiritual connection, illusion and unity. We could experience greater sensitivity, compassion, empathy and unity, and our connection to spirit could be very much heightened. The veil between the worlds could be thinner during this time, and our dream life could be quite fruity!
Neptune is the ruler of the Pisces North Node, so we are encouraged to let go and be open to the synchronicities, clues and signs that are guiding us to wherever we are supposed to be. What do we need to release, surrender or dissolve before we start fresh when Neptune moves into Aries for good? What cycle is ending? The house that Neptune is currently travelling through in our chart could hold some clues. We are called to turn inward and connect to our internal guidance system, especially if we feel confused, uncertain, oversensitive or overwhelmed. This isn’t a time to force things, as it will be much easier if we let go of the reins, lay back and enjoy the ride.
The Sabian symbol for this Moon, at 29° Libra, is a powerful one: ”Mankind’s vast and enduring effort to reach for knowledge transferable from generation to generation”, which Dane Rudyar describes as ”A deep sense of participation in and commitment to, social processes which seek to bring to all men Truth and greater Life. The most characteristic trait in human nature is the ability to “bind time” (as Korzybsky once stated): that is, to transfer to other men as yet unborn the harvest of his conscious experiences and his deliberate endeavours. This ability far transcends instinct and biological mutations, for it is based on consciousness, choice, will and self-sacrifice for the sake of future human beings. It rests upon a deep feeling of the value of “community”; its use increases this feeling and eventually destroys the roots of loneliness. This symbol suggests the technique that makes a life truly “human.” To join other men and women in the vast process of a living civilisation is to fulfil the basic implications of the human stage of cosmic evolution – a stage characterised by CONSCIOUS PARTICIPATION.”
Libra is the sign that reminds us that there is no “I” in team! This Moon certainly has a lot of powerful planetary energy swirling around, that’s for sure! It does seem that we are being called to redress the balance somehow, whether that be physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually. Libra is a sign of extremes, so it is easy for the scales to tip too far one way or another. This Moon could help us to find the midpoint, or the middle ground. It is quite possible that we will be called to be raw, honest and open with ourselves and others, and face some uncomfortable material, but ultimately this could bring the harmony that Libra craves. Ultimately, Libra seeks peace. What do we need to do to truly find peace in our heart?
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Much Love
