Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A new moon occurs when the sun and moon occupy the same degree of the same sign at the same time. As you can see from the chart above, both the Sun and the Moon occupy 23° Libra making this a new moon! 

The New Moon in Libra (General) 

With the New Moon in Libra, relationships of all kinds are spotlighted.  Now is a good time to start a new relationship or re-start an old one. You can be more nurturing with your partner now and you examine your concept of "me" vs. "we" giving more weight to the "other" in your life; that is your friends, lovers, or business partners.  Any goals that you set now will require the cooperation of a partner and you're less inclined to do things on your own. 

How to Work with New Moon in Libra Energy 

• Practice more diplomacy 
• Find your own sense of peace 
• Be a peacemaker 
• Engage in more interesting conversations. Talk about your interests. 
• Put off any major decisions for now (if you can) and simply enjoy the moment 
• Don't make any major commitments 
• Strive to see beauty in everyone and everything 
• Take time to have more fun, enjoy art, garden, or take in a concert or show

The House is Where it Happens 

The Astrological House in which the New Moon occurs in your Natal Chart gives an indication of the area of life activated by the New Moon and where you can expect to see the energy of the New Moon in Virgo to play out. Since the September New Moon occurs in 6° Virgo, you would look at your Natal, or Birth Chart to ascertain in what House 6° Virgo occurs.

Example 

New Moon in Libra and the 12th House 

With the New Moon (I feel) in Libra (I balance) in the 12th house of the hidden, secrets, and endings can translate to I feel renewed, invigorated and balanced when I express my hidden feelings with my partner. This is a good time to talk to your partner about your hidden fears and anxieties regarding your relationship so that you can discuss them rationally and put any worries behind you. 

Aspects 

Another facet of examining how the New Moon in Libra will affect your personally involves comparing the new moon chart to your natal chart and dissecting any aspects formed between the new Moon and other planets in your chart.  For example, let us say that you have Uranus at 21° Libra then this would mean that the New Moon at 23° is separating a conjunction to your Natal Uranus. 

When The Moon forms a conjunction to Uranus you feel an increased need for change. You may act more on impulse and any unexpected events that occur may not take you by surprise as much as it usually does. More than anything your mood dictates your focus and actions during this time. 

Where does the New Moon in Libra  fall in your natal chart and how will it manifest for you?
