New Moon in Libra 2019


New Moon in Libra 
9/28/19 11:26 AM Pacific 
Natural Chart  / Whole Houses 

A new moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon occupy the same degree of the same sign at the same time. As you can see from the above chart both the Sun and the Moon occupy 5° Libra making t his a new moon. 

The Moon Represents What is Happening 

Occurring approximately once every 28 1/2 days, new moons denote the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new cycle. New Moons are a great time to initiate any kind of change or to begin attracting anything that is needed or wanted.   Due to the fact that the moon is associated with our emotions, this is often seen as a new emotional cycle. 

Some keywords associated with the moon include, but are not limited to, the following: emotions, feelings, family, change, instincts, reflection, imagination, subconscious, or nurturing.

Libra Represents How It's Happening 
The Astrological Sign in which the New Moon occurs can indicate how this emotional renewal may express itself. Some keywords associated with Libra include: Relationship, Pleaser, Fair-Minded, Diplomat, Idealistic, Impartial, Considerate, Neutral, Indecisive, Flirtatious, Good Taste. People are more interested in commitment and so they tend to avoid anyone who cannot commit themselves to a relationship of some kind (whether platonic, romantic, sexual, or business).  

The New Moon in Libra (General) 

With the New Moon in Libra, relationsjips 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 nuturing 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. 

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.  

The Twelve Houses of Life 

  1. The self, ego, appearance, initiative, leadership, fresh starts and new beginnings. 
  2. Money and material matters.  Your physical environment, income, money, and your sense of self-esteem. 
  3. Communication in all its forms (thinking, writing, speaking, etc... ) as well as siblings, local travel, teachers and community events. 
  4. Home, privacy, your basic sense of security, your mother, children, and your own ability to nurture others.
  5. Creative expression, drama, attention, love, and romance. 
  6. Health and service to others. Your routine, diet, exercise and helpfulness to others. 
  7. Marriage, partnerships, and relationships of all kinds.  Contracts, business deals, etc... 
  8. Birth, death, sex, other people's money and property. 
  9. Expansion, the higher mind, foreign matters (languages, cultures, travel) luck, adventure, risk, philosophy, ethics and morals. 
  10. The public, fame, honors, reputation, awards, boundaries, rules, discipline, authority, the father. 
  11. Groups of people such as friends and associations, networking, social justice.  Originality, sudden unexpected events, invention, surprises, and all things futuristic.
  12. Endings. Completion, tying up loose ends, old age, karma, making amends, and the afterlife. Imagination, creativity, poetry, and the subconscious mind. 
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, envigorated 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 examing 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.  When I overlay the new moon chart over my natal chart, I see that the new moon is making a conjunction to my natal Mercury enhancing my ability to more eloquently communicate my feelings and emotions. 

The new moon making a sextile to my natal Neptune nurtures a more compassionate emotional nature. The New moon forming a trine to my natal Jupiter allows me to be more sincere and genuine in how I express my emotions. Finally the new moon making a square to my natal north node can indicate obstacles getting over a past hurt.

The end of summer also heralds "cuffing season", a time when people prefer to in a serious relationship rather than free and independant. This is owing to the longer nights, shorter days, and colder weather.

When the Sun is in Libra and the 12th house you find harmoney when you examine the hidden parts of the mind with the intention of confronting and healing past trauma and releasing emotional baggage.  As you deal with your own long-standing issues, you may find that being around other people robs you of your energy and strength.  You can be more emotional and sensitive and avoid drawing any attention to yourself.  However, you can also be more compassionate and inclined to support and help others when asked.

Full Moon in Pisces 2019


Full Moon in Pisces 
9/13/19 at 9:33 PM (Pacific)
Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and the Moon occupy the same degree of opposite signs of the Zodiac. As you can see from the above chart the Sun is at 21° Virgo and the Moon is at 21° Pisces making this a Full Moon. 

The Big Picture 

Pisces is about what we hide from either ourselves or others. It is associated with the need to escape, to get away, to be introspective and nurture our own spirits. On the flip side, Virgo is about our routines, our responsibilities and service to others. 

When the Full Moon is in Pisces, subconscious issues are more acute and we can no longer ignore or deny them. We are moved to confront and heal our subconscious issues, emotional baggage, and psychic trauma.  This is usually a time of introspection, meditation, and inner reflection.  Generally we have less energy that normal and our inner issues may grab at our attention through our dreams. For this reason, sleep may be less peaceful than usual as well. 

With the Sun in Virgo, there's an equal and opposite energy at play here where others may come to you for some form of help. You may be called upon to put the needs of others above your own needs and you just don't have the energy or inclination to do so. 

This is a pattern of energy that we will see play out on a grand scale in the news, politics, and across social media but also in the lives of our friends, family, and ourselves.

How to Work with Full Moon in Pisces Energy 


  • take a digital detox by avoiding social media, email, or spending time on your cell phone
  • start a dream journal, study your dreams for messages 
  • make a collage or mandala of your dreams 
  • study your natal chart 
  • get a psychic reading (tarot, astrology, bone reading, etc... ) 
  • start a meditation practice 
  • engage in spiritual pursuits (journaling, yoga, affirmation, spiritual bathing etc...) 
  • schedule a therapy session with a qualified therapist 
  • practice self care 
  • learn to set boundaries 

The Personal Touch 


To better understand how the Full Moon in Pisces will affect you, you need to look at the natal houses which Pisces and Virgo occupy in your birth chart. For example, in my own chart Pisces is in the 5th House while Virgo is in the 11th.  Whereas the 5th house rules personal pursuits, usually creative in nature; while the 11th house is about coming together with others to achieve a goal that is for the benefit of the world at large, such as a social or humanitarian cause. So for me the conflict will present itself as desire to pursue personal creative project vs the desire to do something for the greater good. 

I would also look at the aspect the full moon is making to my natal chart.  At quick look my natal chart shows that the Full Moon in 21° Pisces is making an almost exact Opposition to my Sun in 22° Virgo.  An opposition between the Sun and Moon can indicate a tendency towards self-sabotage. The conscious and the unconscious desire different things and I may experience feelings of restlessness and frustration as I am torn in two directions at the same time. Relationships with woman may also suffer (the moon represents women, while the sun represents men).  

Where does the full moon in 21° Pisces fall in your chart and who will this energy manifest for you?
