Sun = Libra 7° 36’ – Libra 14° 30’
Moon = Gemini – Virgo
The New Moon Eclipse at 10° 04’ Libra on the 2nd at 11:49 am PST, signifies the last full Eclipse in the Libra/Aries axis. Next year there is a partial Solar Eclipse in Aries, however the nodes will have already shifted into Pisces/Virgo making it less of a strong influence. The Eclipse has a strong Mercurial influence as Mercury starts the week out cazimi the Sun (when a planet is exactly conjunct the Sun). This is a potent time to open dialogue, discourse and communication with others in a clear and unbiased way. Mercury, the Sun and Moon together plant a huge opportunity to shift the mindset of 'us' vs 'them' and allows for a more nuanced approach to one’s own opinions. We may as well subscribe to the notion that facts are subjective; teachers, doctors, journalists, politicians all have a personal identity that we hope does not interfere with their work or create biases and prejudice, but with the way our modern world is run, it is impossible to flee the never ending corporate agenda of the almighty Dollar. Because of this new truth, the truth becomes relative and we are at the whim of those who yell the loudest in public forums.
With the New Moon in Libra, we may have a moment of reprieve from the debilitating ignorance that runs rampant on social media with thoughtful and level headed discourse. But of course, we must first be the change that we want to see, so therefore the New Moon Eclipse in Libra allows for the momentary fence sitting that is required to attain all of the ‘facts’ and details in order to pull together a holistic and well-rounded point of view.

When Mercury cazimis the Sun it represents a new process of intellectual processing, another turn on the spiral wheel of life and we find ourselves in a new and foreign terrain – the terrain being a new way of relating to the world with fresh eyes. Mercury in Libra cares most about how a conversation is structured, whether it is fair, balanced and equitable for all. This means listening to the opinions and ideas of those whom we don’t agree with, for the sake of the conversation and the truth outweighs personal agendas. Libra is objective and cares about what is right in the eyes of karmic law and for some, the law of the state. Arguing semantics isn’t on the top of the list for Libra, but if pushed, will participate in whatever style of discussion the opponent is engaging in because Libra will reflect and match the energy of the other. Mercury will be invisible in the night sky for about 14 days, during this time, we will be integrating new information and awareness for the sake of our mental development.
Venus trine Saturn rx is one of the best times to put a little elbow grease into our relationships that pertain to business and career. The motivation and stamina is there and we’ve got to strike while the iron is hot. On the 4th/5th, you may naturally feel inclined to go for the gold and put yourself out into a space that allows for more responsibility and authority around your own autonomy. There may be some really great connections and opportunities for leveling oneself up out of their current financial circumstances.

Monday 30th
It’s time to let go of ineffective forms of communication such as gossip, ambiguity, passivity and flakiness that might have attached to the ego over the years and have a new approach to navigating communication. If one wants to change, it is often very easy to do alone but when it comes time to test the inner progress that one has made, try initiating that change within all of the ‘ships – that is the true test of growth.

Tuesday 1st
A grand earth trine forms between the Moon, Pluto and Uranus today in the earth triplicity, which helps to solidify borders, boundaries and expectations amongst the various groups of friends and associations that we have. This grand trine can help to promote acceptance of our differences and develop a healthy dose of curiosity before the Moon ingresses into Libra. The desire to know, engage and socialize is hard to ignore, even for the most introverted of us.

Wednesday 2nd
New Moon Eclipse today! Our last full Eclipse in the Libra/Aries axis, so call those long lost friends, put a stamp on the relationships that you are ready to let go of OR make a concerted effort to repair the relationship that you know you can’t live without. This is the time to make those moves and initiate the conversations that need to be had in order to officially bury the hatchet or move on. The New Moon is effective for contemplation, reflection and introspection, however this eclipse squares Mars offering a jolt of energy that is needed to alter, shift, change or end relationship dynamics.

Thursday 3rd
An opportunity to identify the areas in which we have grown independently of the influence of others pops into view with the Moon trine Jupiter and opposite Chiron. Independence is a personal and unique journey for everyone and the point of origin varies wildly for everyone. Some find peace in solitude, while others go mad from isolation. One feels like a choice while the other is not. It is a good day to ponder such themes and equate how your relationship with loneliness has evolved and changed over the year.
Moon trine Jupiter, opposite Chiron rx.
Friday 4th
Moon enters Scorpio, allowing the depths to bubble up to the surface. Venus and Saturn move in harmony stabilizing our finances and relationships along with crystalizing a much needed healing modality. This is a beautiful time to put in the emotional labor that is required of us, promoting self-reliance, inner contentment and emotional intelligence.
Moon square Pluto, Moon > Scorpio at 4:22 am, Venus trine Saturn rx.
Saturday 5th
Our words and actions don’t quite align today, what we say vs what we do and how the information is received in the body can come out as a misrepresentation of our true intentions. Ssince Mercury square Mars forces one to put their money where their mouth is, we had better have receipts to explain why and how we did what we did. Emotions can run wild if we let even an inkling of fear penetrate our thoughts.
Moon trine Saturn rx, conjunct Venus, trine Mars, Mercury square Mars.
Sunday 6th
The need to break free and radically shift a deeper part of the identity surfaces with the Moon in Scorpio opposite Uranus, just before entering Sagittarius today. What is the ‘self’ and who is this new person? This is the time to explore and evolve old, outdated modes of operating. But also, today could just be a really great day to try a new recipe! The weight of what the change is shouldn’t bother, since the theme for the day is change in all ways so no matter how big or how small, all that matters is that evolution in some way is taking shape.
Moon opposite Uranus rx, trine Neptune rx, sextile Pluto rx, Moon > Sagittarius at 4:34 pm.
