Keeping our usual tight orbs for a Lunar event, the upcoming New Moon in Libra (25 September 2:54 PM PDT at 2 Libra 48) shows only one major aspect: an opposition to Jupiter in Aries. But, you may say, what about the past and still technically in orb conjunction of the New Moon to Mercury? Good point, I’d say, since Merc’s retro status tells us they’ve met more recently than if Merc was in direct motion–but that’s more than 5 degrees distance; rather than illuminating the New Moon event, it speaks to what preceded it: a thought, an idea, one we’d already been contemplating (retro status) involving fresh ideas around partnership, cooperation, aesthetics, fairness, described by the Inferior Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury at 00 Libra on the 22nd.
So, we know the background; now our attention goes to Jupiter, the Earth due to conjoin it in exactly one degree (so about one day) in the sign of Aries. Jupiter-Earth suggests a Big Event, in Aries one either driven by the individual choices and actions, or one driven by an individual (Aries) that affects the masses (Jupiter). At a personal level, this could also imply that the individual who acts creates opportunity, or simply that their choices bring them knowledge or more–but more can include more difficulties, as much as it could be bounty or profit, with a negative result most likely if ego, rather than the Libran cooperative spirit, runs the show. Relating this to the New Moon, we can expect new emotional insight or feeling generated from this meeting of individual energy and the larger world.
There are more clues about this Lunar event, found in three contacts, the first being an out-of-sign trine to Sedna from its place in the final, stressful degree of Taurus=there’s something jangly, out-of-context about the ease with which the instincts and ‘blind spot’ material surfaces and colors the emotional palette–don’t be surprised at how things you ‘knew but didn’t know’ are suddenly exceptionally clear. The second contact is the New Moon novile the South Node=the past plays its part, and we would be smart to take a moment and trace the thread from seminal occurrence yesterday to results today. Third, we see a configuration formed: a Fist of God, apex the New Moon with base of Saturn square Uranus=again, big energies speak, this time perhaps implying a clash between what’s established and what will carry us forward into the future–or maybe it’s accident or innovation that shifts the timeline, sending everything in a new direction and sparking new feelings about others (NM in Libra) in the process.
The Sabian confirms this: ‘The Dawn Of A New Day Reveals Everything Changed’. Everything is a big concept, and is most likely to apply to an emotional shift at the individual level that changes the way we see and process the world. Nothing may change around us, and yet everything may be different, with this New Moon.
Both interesting and a little alarming Julie, but some times we do need to know, what we dont really want to know, in order to be prepared or act accordinly anyway. I had been thinking in recent weeks how, although we really didnt want to know alot of what we learned from life in regards the Global Financial or Global Health crisise, & some of us may be a bit more cynical from our personal experiences,what we did rely heavily, on & was undeniably valuable, through its more affirmative nature, was computers, mobile phones & the internet, even for those like myself who dont really appreciate all of humanity being lumped into one computerised electrical basket. In saying this, no point fearing what we cannot do anything about, but we can be prepared just in case, the internet, or electrical grid goes down for a while, by making sure we have a small survival kit, to see us through. I was fortunate enough to grow up in New Zealand where seismic occurrence happens quite frequently, before I moved to where I am today, so a simple regular practice of emergency protocol in the event of & the checking of adequate available survival kits post event, plus practicing manual handling. A container of water, candles/ matches in a waterproof container, & a bar of chocolate, were always top of the list, so the priceless nature of having a practiced method of survival towards whatever warning signs of natural threat and survival kit, in case of, did not strike panic in the hearts of all nor paranoia, quite the opposite, in fact if it wasnt something someone could live with, they didnt stay there, nor constantly complain it was unfair or unacceptable, to them. Also alarming as it may seem or perhaps may be, who knows until we do, in my life experience, I have witnessed that once an alarm is sounded, those who are armed with everything they need along with plenty of hands on practice & experience, regardless of age, who really know their stuff, act quickly and lead the way, regardless of whether or not they fear the judgement or shaming tactics employed by others. So, I truly hope we see some genuinely wise people coming out of the woodwork to do what they do do well. It is in everyone’s best interest, they at least try their best, after all 😉
I agree that being prepared for the worst (in all cases) leads to a kind of peace that allows one to respond without panic or radical action–and I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking to avoid those! And yes, tough times do bring out the skills of those who might otherwise go unnoticed–the ups and downs of fate, I guess. Happy New Moon, Debbie!
