Libra is the sign of balance and couldn’t we all use a bit of that lately?  What is fair and just anymore?  As the sign associated with the Scales of Justice, striving towards equality is always the end goal.  While trying to achieve that middle position or balance point may seem like a cake walk, it is far from that. 

Let’s say you have are invited to a meeting and are asked to be the negotiator and make sure everyone is happy.  You begin the meeting and you listen to each person take a turn and express their views on the new elevator music.  As you can imagine, quite quickly you would notice some people were happy with the new melodies, while others liked some of the music, and others wanted to avoid the elevators entirely now.  Getting everyone to agree on the type of music would take some time to figure out what appeals to most people.  Libra would be one of the best signs to manage this task.

There is tension. 

There is a desire to get to calm or at least immerse oneself in a soothing environment.

And along comes Uranus in Aries opposing the Moon.  Uranus is the wild card of the zodiac and represents individuality and authenticity.  Aries is the Warrior archetype.  Warriors are strong and steady and willing to take risks to be victorious.  Social norms, social graces and “should” or “don’t upset the applecart” are not welcomed by Uranus.  Uranus wants to champion being unique and chooses to challenges the status quo by rolling instead of spinning on its axis.

We have our feelings represented by the Libran Moon.  The Moon wants peace and balance and would, therefore, have a tendency to be polite and accommodating.  Uranus is going head to head opposing this Moon asking for rebellion and courage, a call to awaken the trailblazer.  The Moon is not looking for a fight and yet, Uranus feels passionate about being true to oneself, no matter how much you stand apart from the crowd.  We may feel this turmoil showing up in our relationships- how much do I keep the peace and an open ear versus how much do I fight to stay true to my individual nature?

Jupiter and Mercury are nearby in Scorpio. As Jupiter expands whatever it touches and Mercury is the communication station, we may be inclined towards getting really raw and real with our thoughts. Getting to the bottom of those relationship issues may prove to be a path you find yourself traversing.  Scorpio is no BS. So, if you decide to engage in conversations, be forewarned that skirting around issues may not be tolerated at this time. You may get called on your stuff.  If you are up for the intensity, it is a great time to reach out for a deeper connection. 

As always on New Moon, this is a time to set an intention that will come to fruition under the Full Moon.  The Full Moon will be in Taurus in 2 weeks. 
​
Some ideas to ponder while setting your intentions.   Written words are powerful.  

• What do you want to create in your relationships? 
• How do you want to invite beauty and a sense of balance into your life? 
• Where might you be responding to life from a place of fear?  This might be time to cast fear aside and offer your authentic gifts.
• How might you open yourself to deeper levels of connection with others?
• How can you be true to yourself?
