Libra New Moon - September 27, 2011

Yesterday morning, the Moon and Sun appeared to cross paths, leaving the night sky dark and inky. They both were in Libra, the sign of the diplomat.

Joining the two lights - the Sun and the Moon - were Mercury, Venus and Saturn. These planets are apparently opposed by Uranus and strongly squared by Pluto. What this all adds up to, is a great deal of intensity beneath a surface that is trying to connect.

This is a volatile combination. There is a real desire and benefit to working with others, along with deep needs and potentially explosive behaviors. How does one honor their own desires while being close and connected?

Preceding the new Moon, the energy is about shedding. Now that the new Moon is here, it's time to build. The Moon will be visible again in a few days. Metaphorically, we are still in the dark. Acknowledging where we're at is critical, announcing it may not be the point.

The position of Saturn in the new Moon chart suggests that it's time to get disciplined. If you are confident in your discipline, then allow for time to feel the bubbling energy and then release it.

If you are not disciplined, identify where your rhythym exists, where you are consistent. Use that as a model to support consistency. Down the line, consistency can evolve into discipline.

The upcoming full Moon, on October 11, occurs with Saturn conjunct the Sun. This emphasis on grounding energy, being discplined and able to answer for one's actions isn't going anywhere this month.
