Libra New Moon Festival: Let Choice Be Made.

It’s a rather unusual, possibly irrational and unexpected week, with things unforeseen, unanticipated and unpredicted occurring. We may experience a subtle nervousness and anxiety due to Uranus interacting with the Sun and planets. Sun/Moon in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries – creating all things unexpected and new with finance and relationships.

Friday (Libra new moon festival) through Tuesday, Saturn, Mercury, Uranus and Scorpio are all in a jumble of interactions. Things interconnected yet uncompromising continue throughout the week. We seek harmony and confront chaos. The moon (humanity) travels between the planets, with Uranus in charge. Change becomes the norm.

Uranus is Libra’s Soul ruler (esoteric). Uranus (the awakener) awakens humanity to the realm of the Soul, mediator between Spirit and matter. Humanity, aware of oppositions (spiritual/material), realizes choices must be made. Power and victory over others gives way to seeking equality for all. In Libra (sign of Right Human Relations) love, a Soul quality, increases, we search for beauty and fair play knowing there are no winners or losers. Great tension arises in Libra when there is inequality or disharmony.

Libra is always moving—up, down, here, there; from present to past; from personality to Soul and back again. Anxiously we ask, “Which do we choose?” Eventually, tired of the oscillations (helping us choose), weighing our options on the Libra scales we choose—returning to the past or entering Discipleship (Scorpio). But first we’re tested with the chaos of opposing forces. Under the Will-to-Good, we make the Right Choice. (More at nightlightnews.com.)
