The new moon in Libra (Oct. 8, 11:47 p.m. EST) takes its cue from Venus, planet of romance, finance, balance and happy unions. Venus governs Libra but appears retrograde from the 6th – it’s a good month to reevaluate and reflect on what we cherish most. With this new moon moment, we can put our best foot forward, striving for optimum harmony in social relations.
It won’t be easy, with tension in the stars (felt most between Oct. 10 and 12). However, we’ve got all month to examine the investment of time, money and energy — in ourselves and in others. At times, freedom, friendship, fairness and liberation will seem the right way to go, and at others, the mood draws us deep, relishing the chance to cement strong bonds, ultimately to get ahead.
Maintain balance.
On the 24th, the full moon promises to spotlight a shake-up within our values system, which could collectively underscore technological breakthroughs (regarding payment systems, big business and politics). On a personal level, it could be time to reveal a brand-new you.
