October 6, 2021 — The Libra New Moon arrives on Wednesday, at 4:05am Pacific Time. It forms in conjunction with action-packed Mars as transformative Pluto stations direct. Libra rules love and partnership, and this lunation is a powerful opportunity for fresh starts around relationships. We can set intentions to step into greater peace and togetherness while we regain confidence and control. With Mars at play, we are learning to pick our battles, to self-soothe and assuage our prickliness—even toward ourselves.

How can we feel our own strength and independence while making space for those we love? How can we find balance between exerting our will and desires while also accommodating another’s?

Negotiation and diplomacy are key as we continue to hold our ground and honor our own experience. Meanwhile, with Mercury retrograding through Libra, we are recalibrating our minds and communication, making efforts toward finding peace in our inner and outer worlds. We can forgive ourselves for past mistakes, while feeling more courageous in setting clear but gentle boundaries. This way, we can generate more harmony and equilibrium as we move through our lives with greater ease.

The more we take care of ourselves, the more available we can be for healthy, fulfilling partnership. Loving ourselves, knowing what we want, and asking for help, we can make significant changes that will create more space and lightness for our minds and relationships—now and into the long-term future.

LIBRA NEW MOON ASPIRATION

Surrounded by colorful fall leaves and blossoms, may we allow nature’s beauty and profundity to fill our hearts. May we still our minds in order to feel clarity and peace, speaking our desires as we walk down beautiful, unfurling new paths.
