NEW MOON
BLESSINGS!
Copyright Josephine Wall
The New Moon occurs in Libra (UK 5 October at 00.33am – USA 4 Oct 20:34pm
EDT).
LIBRA
: I balance - I give - I receive.
This
is one of the kindest signs of the zodiac, these fair-minded people want
everyone to be happy and believe that a peaceful world is possible. They have a great sense of humour and are
very loyal friends. They are lovers of beauty and harmony and need to have both
in their lives.
Libra represents diplomacy, peace, the Arts (many Librans
end up in showbiz), partnerships, law, politics, idealism, justice (they will
always defend the underdog and hate injustice of any kind), vacillation
(getting them to make a decision is a nightmare, as they are always afraid of
making the wrong decision and end up sitting on the fence most of the
time! Sometimes they need pushing to
make a decision), interior design, compromise, beauty industry, work connected
with women, they make good relationship counsellors, mediators and are
excellent for working in communication.
This
New Moon starts what will be a bit of an up and down month with a few rocky
patches here and there and things have the potential to explode if balance is
not maintained. However, there are also
windows of opportunity for your creativity and abundance to blossom. Being in Libra the spotlight/moonlight is on
all of our relationships. We have work
to do on our relationships between now and the Full Moon this month (which is
also a Lunar Eclipse).
The
Libran New Moon will bring to light new evidence about some of the people in
your life. This is to do with all types
of relationships; intimate, personal, business, family, friends, acquaintances
etc.
It
may hurt to realise that they are not as authentic as you thought, they may
have been lying to you (and themselves), their ulterior motive is revealed
etc. Also those who take part in
groups/organizations may find that these no longer fit with who you have become
and it is time for you to leave.
Those
running these groups will need to step up and weed out those who now need to
leave your group/organization, the one/s who are pulling the energy down every
time, the one/s who are bringing chaotic and disruptive energy, they have to go
before the Full Moon.
It’s
about truth and integrity (no more lying to yourself or others, no more
allowing others to lie to you) and living, acting and being from the
Heart. If they don’t match this
criteria, they are out. (That doesn’t mean
you cannot include them in your prayers and healings, it is just that they can
no longer invade and/or drain your space and energy).
Jupiter
has entered the watery sign of Cancer (Jupiter planet of
expansion/hope/opportunities/fortune moves into Cancer planet of feelings,
home, family, sensitivity). Combined
with the New Moon in Libra, it is an opportunity to release old emotional stuff
(especially baggage from previous relationships and heaviness from the people
you may have not realised that you’ve been carrying this past year). This will clear space for you to expand
emotionally which will open you up to receiving so much more that you are
worthy of. And yes, it will be a bit
emotional at times and you must allow yourself time to grieve that which you
are letting go of so that you can heal all the emotions around this, and be
clear by Full Moon.
This
New Moon nudges us that we may have missed or overlooked something in our
relationship/s, so take the time to find out what that is. It might be time to review your part in your
relationship/s. Have you been so busy
that you have failed to notice that more of your time, attention and love is
needed in a particular relationship?
You may have to “dig deep”, so make time for meditation to receive the
answers that you need.
Those
of you who have been feeling lost about your purpose; creativity and/or work
will now get an opportunity to find what you have been looking for. However, you need to be clear and receptive
in order to recognize it (and for some, it may have been right under your nose
all along).
Have
you felt that something has been missing from your life? This New Moon will give you the opportunity
to discover what that is.
Libra
and Cancer are all about relationships, and the Age of Aquarius is all about
community and collaboration. After doing
the work on yourself, it is time to become open to connecting with others in
shared goals. We are not meant to try
and do it all ourselves (we all know how hard it is sometimes to surrender to
the Will of the Divine!), now we need to be open about letting others enter our
space to work together to create an even more powerful force that can help the
greater good. This has already started happening and is wonderful to see.
There
are decisions to be made, and we all have to make them. Many of us are being given the opportunity
to stop and rewind (and the coming Mercury retrograde also gives us the space
to do this), to take a good look at all aspects of our lives and work out
whether we need to continue or not (with a person/group/project/course of action
etc). It is a time of assessing and
deciding in order to prepare ourselves for what is to come. You really need to go into your heart for
this. Your mind will give you a
thousand excuses why you can’t do it - ignore it - that is just your ego
panicking about the unknown territory.
Your solar plexus may start flipping out, that is to be expected and you
know how to deal with that (if not contact me, and I’ll help).
It
is a time of clearing psychic clutter as well as physical and emotional
clutter. The decision/s you will reach
are those that make you feel lighter, that make your life feel lighter, that
make your heart feel happy, that make your solar plexus feel excited! It’s all about “feel the fear and do it anyway”,
and of course the opposite of fear is love.
(The current three-year transit of Saturn in Scorpio urges us all to
choose love over fear, and Saturn is setting up plenty of tests regarding
this. Librans particularly need to take
heed and not sit on the fence or you will find yourselves repeating these tests
over and over). Own it, heal it and move on.
Libra
is an air sign and is connected to the mental level. You may find your thoughts become tangled and muddled as you
wrestle with the truths being revealed to you.
Make time to stop, breathe and breathe again, then go out for a walk and
ground the mental energy. Do some
gardening or physical work and eat some yummy root veggies to get out of your
head and back into your heart.
Love
continues to be the Key to see us through the current energies, as love more and
more becomes as easy a part of our lives as breathing. This will not be without its challenges, as
those operating out of fear will do everything in their power to discredit you,
hurt you, etc to pull you back down to their lower vibrational level. They do this because they feel threatened by
your purity and your love. Love shines
the brightest light, and will light up their dark areas that they are too
afraid to deal with. You may have
experienced this if you have ever worked with a very good teacher, someone who
is operating from a high vibrational love frequency. I remember loving my shamanic teacher but also being quite
terrified of him at the same time. His
eyes seemed to laser into my Soul and I was terrified he was looking at the bad
parts of me. He wasn’t, that was just
my unhealed ego panicking. Now I can
confidently look into his eyes, but it took many years to be able to do that!
Don’t
let anyone knock you off path. If you
do get hurt, retire and heal the hurt quietly without letting your ego go on a
rampage and putting you back into victim mode.
You are a Love Ambassador and will quickly bounce back right into that
lovely heartspace once again.
(If you need help with that, we
have a lovely ‘Healing Heart sacred oil’ that you can massage over your
heart/heart chakra area and there is also a ‘Healing Heart essence’ that
you can take which helps raise the vibration of your heart once more. Find it here http://www.theapothecarygarden.org/Products---KITS--special-SETS.html
There’s a discount when you buy both products as a Kit. Products also available separately).
This
New Moon is “ground breaking”. It is about
turning rocks into diamonds. We may
have to dig deep, it may take a bit of effort to clear the debris, it may be
scary and hard to dare to break through that protective outer layer, however it
will all be worth it, because on the other side of all this process is the
reward, the gems waiting to come into your life. It is about breaking free from the past, from what no longer works in the present and clearing the way for the future.
Libra
is the great balancer, and reminds us that balance is the key to traversing the
energies over the next few weeks.
Things may happen to throw us off balance, but we all have enough tools
now to know how to get ourselves back on track.
This
New Moon is all about ‘out with the old and in with the new’ (and that has been
a recurring theme this year as has rebirth, and this month’s energies bring us
another opportunity to rebirth/reinvent ourselves and our lives. Very appealing to my Scorpionic
nature!) Libra loves beauty and harmony
and to be surrounded with both, so take this opportunity to revamp your home as
well as yourself so that you are always surrounded by beauty and harmony.
Healing
and clearing inner and outer space can bring in new job opportunities
(including promotions), a new life partner, a new business partner, a bonus of
some kind, some good news, the right mentor etc over the coming weeks.
If
you have been feeling restless, anxious, fidgety and just can’t settle (or
sleep well), then this New Moon is all about you and what you need to do.
What
do you desire?
What
does your heart desire?
What
does your Soul desire?
OTHER ENERGIES
I
know that some people feel they have been ‘attacked’ recently for speaking
their truth. This is all part of the
current energies. Those of us who have
worked really hard at clearing ourselves and who have been operating more and
more from the heart with love, have found themselves targets by those who have
not done the work and who are fearful.
Your lovelight is shining so brightly now that it makes them afraid so
they want to attack you, they are afraid that you will see right into them
(which you will do with this New Moon energy).
Don’t take it personally.
Realise that they are terrified and include them in your prayers. However, don’t get into a slanging match
with them, it’s not worth it, that just brings you down to their level and you
don’t want that.
Spider Medicine
Many
of us have been inundated this Autumn with spiders in our homes and
gardens. Spider is bringing us messages
about weaving our dreams, tidying our webs, and preparing for the coming Winter
by gathering all that we need.
Healthy Eating
The
recent work you have been doing on yourself, and the change of Season, may find you wanting to eat
differently (possibly lighter) as you ease into the energies of Autumn. If it is cold where you are, start making
nourishing soups and broths – these fill you up with delicious nutrition and
keep your central core at the right temperature. If it is still warm where you are, cut out some meals and replace
with green smoothies and juices. If you
are post-menopausal ensure that you have protein with every meal, this will
help you to maintain your energy levels and not feel so tired. Eating small amounts of protein regularly
throughout the day also helps to curb carb cravings. It is essential that we nourish ourselves nutritionally in order
to stay grounded and cope with whatever may come up. Self love in this way is part of being a Love Ambassador, it
starts with loving the Self as only then can we truly love others.
As
the Harvest continues, many of us have been enjoying pickling, canning,
freezing and preserving Summer’s bounty to support us during the coming Winter
moons. There has been a resurgence in homesteading activities, which absolutely
delights me. Many of us are connecting more with Nature as we seek simpler,
healthier ways of living and Being.
What
have you been harvesting?
FINALLY
Endings
are the start of new beginnings.
The
deeper you go over the coming weeks the higher you will rise.
Be
open to sudden changes and the unexpected, be open to surprises.
Stand
tall in your truth and personal power.
Be
a living example of Love in Action.
Don’t
worry about what anyone else is thinking, saying or doing.
Don’t
worry about the details, hand them over to the Divine.
Ask,
ask and ask again for help from friends, family, partners, Angels, Guides and
Spirit (most of us don’t ask enough!)
My
thanks to Isha Lerner for the following quote, which popped into my in-box just
as I had finished writing this, it sums everything up perfectly:
Lanterns
Hang
from the night sky
So
that your eye might draw
One
more image of love upon your silk canvas
Before
sleep.
Words
from Him have reached you
And
tilled a golden field inside.
When
all your desires are distilled
You
will cast just two votes:
To
love more,
And
be happy.
Take
the sounds from the mouth-flute of Hafiz
And
mix them in your seed pouch.
And
when the Moon says.
"It
is time to Plant".
Why
not dance,
Dance
and
Sing?
