Tonight’s Libra New Moon (@10:04pm AEDT) places the planet of courage, action, conflict and desire at the very Heart of the Sun. This cazimi moment is considered a critical point of rebirth in its synodic cycle with the Sun, which also represents a crucial turning point in the story of our lives.
This Mars-Sun conjunction initiates a significantly more powerful New Moon cycle than usual. Both Mars and the Sun are moving through a sign they find challenging, and Venus, the ruler of Libra, is moving through the most difficult degrees of Scorpio. Collectively these celestial bodies have been mirroring the ways in which we’ve been grappling with the complexity and discomfort of situations we’d rather avoid but have been forced to face. And yet this experience, whilst difficult, is also immensely powerful in its potential to stimulate understanding of the other’s perspective and to cultivate more mature, balanced and profound relationships in the coming cycle.
The New Moon-Mars cazimi at 13 degrees of Libra is also exactly quincunx Uranus at 13 Taurus, flavouring this lunation with an electrical energy of divine discontent, which responds best to divine thinking and innovation, particularly in relation to resources, security concerns and self-worth. Pluto is also stationing today and turns direct tomorrow as Venus moves into 0 degrees Sagittarius. This should provide noticeable relief, helping us to find the shining treasures that have been unearthed in the wreckage of past months. There’s an intimation of something beautiful and vivifying being born from the ashes of our hard work, which illuminates the power of our relationships and communications.
For the next four days Mars will be travelling at the same degree as the Sun, further alleviating some of the anxiety, frustration, crankiness and reactivity we’ve been experiencing since mid-September. It could feel like an ecstasy and epiphany of divine burning as the desires that propel us on our soul’s path and our courage to act on those intentions are empowered by the Sun’s influence, and the planet of passion and vitality is reborn at the heart of the Sun. This four day period is an immensely powerful window for forging intentions that relate to our most critical desires in relationship.
And this is especially amplified on the morning of Sunday October 10, as Mercury the Psychopomp, guide of souls, briefly joins Mars on the throne of the Sun at 16 degrees. Pay close attention today in all communications, listen carefully for insights, and write down your most courageous intentions and ideas. On Monday as the Sun separates from Mars, the fiery planet returns to a state of combustion until October 30. Renewed by this recent encounter with the Sun, it burns off dross. If we keep courageous intentions front of mind, everything we encounter in the meantime prepares us to reach them.
