The Moon is gradually moving through the sign of Libra signaling that situations will be slow to develop. As do all new moons, this cycle signals a new beginning in at least one area of your life, and those born with strong Libra placements, sun, moon, or rising, are likely to play a role in upcoming events. Admission into the sign of partnership stimulates the desire for alliance, but can cause you to seek peace at your own expense. While the inclination to compromise manifests as a concerted effort toward tolerance, tact, and diplomacy, it can cause you to suppress your feelings to avoid confrontation, appease others, and allow them to take advantage of you. This also includes your response to those of open opposition as well as agents that represent you (doctors, lawyers, etc.)
Libra is prone to indecision and you may feel compelled to consider every available option prior to making a move during this cycle, but will find that some of your beliefs are not helpful in assisting you with the decisions you must make. However, feedback you receive from everyday situations will provide insight into which beliefs do, in fact, work on a mundane level. Your values assessment will include experiences that take you beyond what was previously known to you, and this adjustment in perspective may arrive through travel, study, or involvement with people, things, and concepts that are foreign. Perhaps you’re exposed to new ideas in a learning setting or introducing them to others through teaching, writing, or dealings with the public. While you tend to fluctuate between extremes of logic and emotion, what you believe has a direct impact on outcome. As a result, situations will challenge you to consider whether current conditions or relationships are conducive to your well-being–physically, emotionally, spiritually, or financially.
In some cases, a love for mankind or humanity motivates action. The tendency is to put the welfare and lives of others ahead of your own. On the other hand, you could be a figure loved by the general public or casual acquaintances. In either case, it’s possible for the entrance of persons unknown to enter your affairs.
Mercury is retrograde and may be representative of those working behind the scenes against you. This deception may take place through a coworker or sibling and you may be completely unaware of the damaging remarks made behind your back until brought to your attention. Your initial response to the lack of defense by those whom you considered friends or supportive may be an outburst of anger which ends with self-imposed isolation. In fact, there’s a tendency toward extreme sensitivity, depression, and the desire to be left alone in general.
Additionally, travel and communication can carry hidden overtones or subtext that suggest a covert influence that is unusual in some way. Troubling illnesses may require a second and third opinion to prevent receiving the wrong care or medication.
The sense of taste and refinement characteristic of Libra can indicate expensive tastes that bring trouble or estrangements with a marriage or business partner regarding finances or responsibilities related to a parent. Personally and/or professionally additional services or sacrifice may be required, possibly without monetary reward, to reach a compromise. People will tend to expect more for less despite the same services offered in the past. In some cases, you may be involved with a legal matter–the legal system, police activity, or a legal consultation surrounding personal finances or material possessions, or the signing of legal documents. For some, litigation may be necessary due to the discovery that someone has been stealing from you.
To summarize this cycle, your main areas of concern or interest relate to study, travel, or encounters with foreigners (or those of a different background) that results in the establishment or ending of a relationship. Exasperating situations will demand that you apply extreme effort in matters involving home and family that bear consequence to security. This may include the loss or gain of money, emotional support, or confidence given the handling and outcome of circumstances. You or others of influential authority will be forced to make decisions that could include a gamut of issues you have little control over–paperwork, sibling relationships, work, vehicle problems, travel routes, or study. Contributing factors that prompt concern could be your own powerlessness, isolation, or illness, or involvement with others in these situations. Events may cause you to rethink obligation or act out of sheer frustration in response to heavy demands from others regarding getting money, finding emotional security, or building self esteem.
The keyword for this cycle is involving. How involved do you want to be? What’s involved in the matter? The current influence suggests the danger of being drawn into psychic conditions from which escape is difficult. The message is to refrain from dabbling in matters one does not thoroughly understand (including the occult) or expect much suffering to result. Despite the gifts you may possess, a peculiar force is fighting against success; a calm placidity is the only protection.
