The New Moon in Libra (30 September 2016 5:12 PM PDT at 8 Libra 15) calls for us to stretch our usual close 2+ or – orbs, within reason, which allows a quincunx to Neptune, a sextile to Saturn, and a semi-sextile to Venus–but then we see the very close novile to Juno–and that inspires as the key to this New Moon event. We still need to include the recent contact with Jupiter, though remembering that this ‘expansion’ or other Jupiterian experience is past, and so set the stage for the present, is vital.

What do we see at the New Moon? A beginning, naturally, one with its origins in matters of the House where the NM falls–but more than that, we see stirrings of a new version of empowerment (Juno). At the point of the New Moon we look around after those Jupiterian expansions (which include excursions into the social sphere of all stripe) and see how different our effectiveness landscape, our ability to affect things, our status, really is now; we see, in relatively mild terms (the semi-sextile) how we may benefit, profit, or gain (including through new contacts and relationships) in the ‘new’ reality picture (Saturn), and this comes in the form of something we have created, imagined, or that we find has formed closer to our ideals (quincunx Neptune). We ‘wake up’, in a sense, as the New Moon sparks understanding of just how much has recently changed, and how we have created a new place for ourselves within the larger social order by changing our own circumstances or interactions (Jupiter).
The Sabian for this New Moon is, ‘Three “Old Masters” Hanging On The Wall Of A Special Room In An Art Gallery’. The image suggests the New Moon rests on old, completed works (master works, in fact) that now find a “special” place, for them to be seen and appreciated. Things we’ve done in the past, things that were handled optimally, or created at a peak of originality or mastery of technique, now become known/ seen by and to others–and what comes from this observation or awareness describes our current, new empowerment scenario, and defines our new status. We become, in essence, ‘New Old Masters’, showing what we have created, with our past choices hinting at what we will become.
See some ‘New Old Masters’ here–make sure you see the pics in the gallery at the end of the story
This New Moon lands in my 12th house conjunct Pluto and trine Jupiter in the 4th. Transiting Jupiter is on my Pluto (ruler of my 2nd) and I won money from two scratch off games! I never play, but decided to give it a try!
Congrats, nicoleh7! It’s nice when we take a chance and it works out 🙂

Or may be there will actually finally be more recognition and higher value on the creative power of the feminine and the different ways of the feminine that inspired the old masters, almost unrecognisable in a world where both female and male alike had become determined to be, do, look and have the life of a man, because they can and want to, enforcing that being female in her way often almost opposite and may be no good reason can be offered yet there is a good point for her being the way she just is, she always has one, is not good enough infact judged as stupid, only being respected if she be a man in a mans world, where even creativity has been regulated to conform to the box where it doesnt belong and any ideas are only redos and reinventing the wheel, there is always hope and my aim is as high as possible for the best for us all just now….”the Lady has many secrets, I merely painted one of them” the character Leonardo from the movie Everlasting regards the Mona Lisa.
