New Moon in Libra ~ October 6, 2021

4:05am PT/7:05am ET

Theme: Unification

By Andrea Dupuis

This week the New Moon in Libra is highlighting our relationships as Libra is the natural ruler of the 7th house, the house of partnerships – both romantic and business. It can also represent clients if you’re a business owner as you enter into ‘partnership’ with them. 

It’s possible we will experience profound shifts in this area of our lives this week, as it’s time for a fresh new start in relationships. 

Libra is a sign connected to union, to coming together, to merging with others. As we travel along the zodiac, it’s like a hero or heroine’s journey. The 1st house is about the self, and by the 7th house, we are merging and integrating with others. We are ready to learn the lessons associated with union with others. 

In order to live in harmony with others, we have to learn the lessons of Libra. The archetype associated with Libra is that of the Lover and Partner. For this archetype, relationships are a spiritual path and the best way to evolve. The path of partnership asks us to constantly balance the wants of self and the wants of the other.  To choose unity over separation again and again.

We may find ourselves reflecting on relationships in our lives this week and deciding if they are the right fit, reassessing, and making room for more aligned connections. 

New Moon’s are the most yin time of the month, a great time to go inward into reflection, meditation and contemplation. Without the light of the moon we can find ourselves feeling introverted, more inward focused and a little lost. 

This New Moon is especially potent as it’s making a very direct conjunction to the planet Mars. Mars is really the opposite of the planet Venus that rules Libra.  Venus, is one of the benefics – it represents love, money, enjoyment, luxury and enjoying the good things in life. Mars is very much the opposite energy – it’s connected to war, to independence, to aggression and to making things happen. 

Mars is also an intense planet, and it’s currently so close to the sun it’s being burnt – in my view the energy of Mars is even more intense. We may have to look deep within ourselves, at our own inner warrior, our own rage, our own aggression and see where we can unify, where we can soften, where we can lay down our swords. 

The goal of Libra is never to separate but to come together as one. This week we may face themes related to this within ourselves and the collective. When we can unify within ourselves and accept both our Mars and Venus natures, we can start to see unity in the external. 

The impacts of a New Moon lasts until the next New Moon.
