1st Quarter Moon in Libra

July 6, 2022 | 7:13 pm (PST) | Keyword: Obsession

The Moon is slowly moving through the sign of Libra emphasizing balance, fairness, and refinement. The influence grants excellent intuitive abilities, especially regarding people and human relations, but there’s a tendency to be swept up in emerging events when idealistic thoughts guide your actions. Right now, you’re either capable of or connecting to persons with great charm, diplomacy, sympathy, and understanding, who can also maintain an impartial and objective viewpoint. You’ll attract those who have a strong social conscience with the power to open the door to areas where your skills can benefit others. Persons with strong Libra placements (sun, moon, or rising sign) in the natal chart are slated to participate in upcoming events.

You should also use this cycle to make investments, negotiate business arrangements, and apply effort toward plans for building wealth. This is an excellent period for trade and business and will yield a positive answer to questions concerning wealth and prosperity. Libra’s relationship to the arts suggests that you may have the ability for writing and public speaking. This can make you successful in businesses related to art, music, entertainment, and public relations where aesthetics and social sensitivity must be combined with practical business sense and good timing. Careful assessment and planning promises business success and monetary gain. This can manifest as a business opportunity, the offer of a raise, or a lucrative investment on the horizon. For some, the vocation may be one that overrides the normalcy of life. Perhaps in striving for wisdom your interest in a number of topics becomes the catalyst for teaching others of your passion or a subject that has real life application. Alternatively, you may decide to return to school for higher education or take a course of study.

While travel is not really encouraged, an inner restlessness gives you the urge to get away from the daily routine and to seek satisfaction through change or travel to foreign places. This opens the potential for new friends from a foreign country or different background. On the other hand, you may be traveling within the country or it may be necessary for you to commute for work or other reasons.

Whether traveling new territory physically or mentally, you’re likely to expand your realm of consciousness by examining a belief system and this is a good time to test any ideology to determine if it serves useful purpose in actual life situations. An emphasis on intellect and the search for truth is tied to the Part of Fortune, the signifier for prosperity. This desire to broaden your perspective is fueled by a need to seek out new experiences that enrich your outlook on life through the excitement and exposure to novel ideas and concepts. Libra’s energy can make you indecisive when you feel compelled to consider every available option and at times you’ll discover that what you believe is useless in assisting you with the decisions you’re required to make. Doctrines that fail will be discarded in favor of a new frame of reference more consistent with the pattern of personal growth and life philosophy you’re currently experiencing.

If you’re involved with the public through speaking, writing, or teaching, you could be asked to explain your viewpoint. Your career may involve protecting or taking care of people, but the show of leadership can be either inspirational or dictatorial. While you possess the confidence to move forward with plans, there’s also a tendency to over-dominate or over-protect. However, emotional feedback from everyday situations will provide insight into what’s actually effective on a mundane level. This test and review process is meant to help you develop an authentic approach to life that works on every level with the understanding that beliefs about situations, experiences and relationships also tends to attract the expectation. In some cases, the influence indicates a person who can be sacrificed to the larger needs, but this may serve as the prompt to question beliefs that keep you stuck in unhealthy or abusive situations. If you hate confrontation, you may hide your own feelings to appease others and allow them to take advantage of you. While legal matters are not strongly emphasized, you could be involved with a legal matter or the legal system in some way, perhaps through consultation with a lawyer.

The negatives of this moon’s chart include a few hairy calculations that indicate chaos and disruption caused by unexpected events that correlate to being obstinate, impulsive, or vindictive. Perhaps a speculative risk or premature action poses a danger or threat. In some cases, the death of a situation tied to career, authority figures, public perception, or emotional and psychological issues must come out into the open before you can progress in establishing your own identity.

The main areas of interest during this cycle will be study, travel, or encounters with individuals or things that are foreign to you that have influence over delays or obstacles when you attempt to begin or end a relationship. Dependence on the partner, a need for love and affection, self-indulgence, or the lack of responsibility could play a part in fateful partnerships. Tension surrounding marriage, committed relationships, or a harmonious family life will provoke a profound change or alteration to circumstances.

As a result of these events, the daily routine, domestic life, work, health, or habit patterns will undergo some measure of stress, but also benefit through the ability to accommodate to circumstances because of cooperative efforts or the exchange of ideas. Situations will involve making decisions surrounding issues of security and conformity where the conflict is the choice between staying close to what is familiar versus a departure from the past or upbringing. This might induce challenge or criticism regarding changes, new regulations, or the refusal to meet expectations, especially in situations attributed to a cavalier attitude. Consequently, a positive outcome will find you to be more creative or create more involvement with children or a lover. For some, a person with strong Leo or Sun placement in the natal chart will contribute to the capacity to love and stimulate creativity. This may be someone with an affinity for nature or who is stable and secure.

Additionally, the prosperity of the period comes with the caution not to allow the pleasures of wealth to blind you to the consequences of unbridled pursuit. The Libra scales is a reminder to exercise moderation and maintain balance even in the midst of abundance. Those who are psychic in nature are especially sensitive to strong food and drink as well. The keyword for this cycle is obsession which suggests harm through any form of overindulgence, negative suggestion, or a disturbing preoccupation with an idea connected to the quest for something or someone.
