from the chair: 20th October 2017 New Moon in Libra

Hi everyone!

Are we maintaining our equilibrium under the Libran Sun? Are we bringing ourselves back into peace, harmony and balance when the energies are activating us in some of those old patterns of thinking and behaviour? We’re in a time of reckoning and re-balancing old karmic ties as well as the ‘ties’ that have been holding us back this lifetime.

The dark goddess arises: Jupiter and Mercury in Scorpio!

Release, renewal!

Since Jupiter’s move into Scorpio last week and Mercury joining him there on 17th, there’s been a decided shift in relation to the releasing of old energies. Scorpio is all about major ‘death and dying’ of energies which have passed their ‘use by’ date. It’s time for us to let them go. The phoenix regenerates and rebirths!

In particular, the Libran energies relating to one-on-one relationships are up front for a big healing resolution and tying up of loose ends during this month of Libra. This is very much the focus at this New Moon. Karmic release and resolution is on offer!

Mars and Mercury challenged to release and accept an upgrade!

If you’ve been feeling the challenges of the release, we can put it down to some activity with Mars and Mercury from last weekend and early into the week as our mindsets were challenged to a re-set and our bodies challenged to a release of old spiritual ‘wounds’ emanating from the collective unconscious. Of course we only feel these collective energies when there’s an aspect/memory within us that is being triggered.

20th October:

New Moon In Libra at 26 degrees 35 Libra at 6.12 am AEDT

Choose love!

A New Moon, a rebirth: It’s all about love, harmony and balance!

We are already in the throes of major transformational energies with an emphasis coming from Jupiter’s entry into Scorpio. Mercury met with Jupiter on 18th rebooting our mental body with the higher consciousness of Jupiter. This is a huge message for this New Moon. Hold onto your hats for this next year wave of change that Jupiter is bringing forward.

Together at last: We’re being tuned in to our inner heart...pure love!

The New Moon and Sun are on the same degree, speaking in harmony together, helping us to ‘marry’ the masculine/feminine energies within, guiding us to know when to act in our own best interests with the energy of self-love and self-acceptance.

Uranus a major player directly opposite the New Moon/Sun: Sudden wake ups!

With Uranus, the awakener directly opposite the New Moon and the Sun in Libra, our endings/transformations are likely to be a dramatic and sudden wake up call which comes out of the blue.

Waking up to our spirit and feeling a new sense of our heart’s desires:

It may not necessarily impact on our earthly existences as this wake up is a call to our inner spirit, the spirit of our pure essential self. the flame of our ‘I am’ energy. You might find yourself feeling and/or thinking ‘What about me?’ as the New Moon energies are likely to throw up any realisations about imbalances in our one-on-one relationships whether present or past.

Past relationships seeking resolution: Forgiveness of self/others!

You might experience subconscious memories arising in the dream and/or meditation state about unresolved imbalances from past relationships. These images, thoughts and/or emotions arise from the subconscious into our consciousness so we can bring them to a close.

It’s very much a time of karmic resolution which is allowing us to move on from our ‘history’ which has been keeping us in mindsets and patterns of the past. When we have developed a negative belief about relationships based on past experiences, then we are holding our hearts in check, putting up barriers and resistance as a result of a fear of being ‘hurt’, ‘rejected’...whatever. Time to break down the walls!

Other planetary energies at this New Moon:

Saturn still in a square/challenge with Chiron in Pisces: Collective ‘wounds’ still releasing and uplifting us from more karmic burdens!

Mars in Virgo is moving away from this connection and releasing some of its challenges we may have been experiencing in the physical body and with our fire and drive. Nevertheless, the ‘wounds’ of the collective unconscious along with karmic burdens and contracts is continuing in the releasing process. It’s been a draining week for some of us directly impacted by this one but the move of Mars through Virgo is shifting some of the heaviness.

As Saturn gradually moves away we’ll feel even more release from the heaviness of the energies.

Saturn in trine to North Node of the Moon and to Uranus:

Grand Fire trine still bringing in the change process!

Saturn still opening us up to the planetary north node in Leo, helping us release the old ideologies and to evolve into the higher consciousness of the Leo energies of the Sun and bringing in the leading edge thinking of Uranus.

The fire energies are helping us burn away the karmic dross and the limited belief systems taken on from other people, places and realities.

The New Moon and Sun: Libra 27

AN AIRPLANE SAILS HIGH IN THE BRIGHT CLEAR SKY

This Symbol shows the ability to transcend strife and rise above issues. You can feel above situations and are being carried away and beyond the mundane towards something completely new. You can sail above issues and avoid more everyday, down-to-earth problems. Having a calm, objective and somewhat detached way of observing life reveals a lot to you. Don't, however, get so far above things that you feel removed entirely from what’s really going on in reality. This won't help when you need to employ practical solutions or have a need to really deal with life and its ramifications. Transcending difficulties. Optimism that knows no bounds. Having a bird's eye view. Airplanes, birds, flight. Roller-coaster rides. The need for navigation. Objectivity.

Uranus opposite the New Moon/Sun: Aries 27

THROUGH IMAGINATION, A LOST OPPORTUNITY IS REGAINED

This Symbol shows the talent or the ability to be able to use inner creative energy to revitalize ideas or opportunities that seemed to be lost. Whatever it is that you need to do, believe that it is possible and create an image in your mind and you will most likely succeed at gaining it or recovering it. Always take heart; there is energy here to recapture things that seemed to be lost. Visualizing what you want, allowing time and watching for it to manifest can bring astounding results. Sometimes, however, the “lost opportunities regained” are in a different form than we had first imagined. Creative imagination and visualization. Hope renewed. Second chances. Last minute reprieves. Being forgiven or pardoned. Imagineering. Making up for losses.

Update on Saturn as he heads for his release of Sagittarius in December:

Just to keep us on track with it all!

Saturn’s now back in his stride after his shifting direction a few weeks ago. We had Saturn on 22 degrees for 3 weeks, then on 23 degrees for about 10 days and now he’s on 23degrees for the New Moon. He leaves Sagittarius on 20th December AEDT.

Many people have faced some challenges and restrictions around long distance/foreign travel over the past 2 years. For so many, depending on your natal ‘brief’, Saturn’s been keeping you confined in some way, keeping us confined at home. Sagittarius rules long distance and foreign travel and the past 2 years have seen changes of plan, travel cut short.

He’s also been keeping our spiritual noses to the grindstone even though a part of the Sagittarian energy wants to play and forget all the higher learning. Saturn in Sagittarius has been keeping us on track, on task. So, if you’ve had your holiday, travels cut short or cancelled for some reason, you’ve been getting the message to just stay put. Of course individual charts will tell you where on a personal level you’ve been restricted, confined to quarters so to speak.

I’m including this information on this update as many of you may have wondered why your wild inner brumby adventurer keeps getting held back, restrained, constrained and kept in the stables. Well, more freedom on the way although Saturn in Capricorn will keep us on track with manifesting success in the world, we’ll he happy to knuckle down to focus on what engages our attention. Easier to study, build our own personal ‘empires’ built on spiritual values.

Hugs all around!

Can you feel us all rising to the challenge of the change process? Maybe we haven’t filled our lungs with the new ‘air’ fully as yet but the more we look to our potential for change and our capacity to move into the change process, the sooner we will shift into the higher consciousness which will carry us to new places and ways of being on earth.

In a few days, Mars moves into Libra and the Sun moves into Scorpio. I will be doing a separate posting on that one as it all becomes overload with information. Our immediate focus is the New Moon in Libra which sets the lunar agenda for the next month until the New Moon in Scorpio. December will be a hectic month in terms of planetary shifts and energies so we need to make the most of setting our foundation on maintaining the peace and balance of Libra now. Scorpio month is always a clearance and will be a good preparation for us moving into December.

Love and blessings to us all as we expand and grow filled with the light energy which uplifts and lasts. Yes we need the heat and fire energy which can uplift too, the kind that can carry us on without our balloon crashing to the ground. I’m just staying afloat at present after a heavy duty week. Hope you are too.
