Only 28 hours after the Sun entered the sign of Libra for the Autumnal Equinox, it joins the Moon in conjunction to create the 2014 Libra New Moon at 11:14p PDT this evening, 23rd September 2014. Like every New Moon, this is about new beginnings – in this case, the start of a new season.
Autumn represents harvest and completion. The seeds planted in the spring have become mature plants bearing their fruit. We now get to see what is coming to fruition – to see how what we have nurtured is coming into manifestation. We may be happy with some of our results, and not so happy about some of them, too. Yet whatever we witness and experience, we get to remember that it is the fruit of our intentions, efforts, and labors.
To that point, in the 2014 Libra New Moon, now is the time to acknowledge our results whether we like them or not. These results are our proof of who we have been, who we are, and who we are on track to continuing to be…unless we choose to change something in our process so we can change the results that we get. Yet change is difficult to come by during a Libra Sun period as Libra usually doesn’t want to ruffle any feathers by making necessary adjustments – Libra wants to keep the peace, not make waves, not upset anyone. Libra wants to keep things peaceful and calm.
It’ll have a tough time doing that this year as this 2014 Libra Sun period is going to be anything but calm.
The amount of fire element energy that is place and moving into key positions (Mars in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo, Uranus Retrograde in Aries, South Node in Aries) produces an assertive and initiative energy that is unusual for a Libra Sun period, and creates a circumstance in which Libra’s air actually ends up fueling the flames of change rather than cooling or calming them. In the face of the impending blaze, this 2014 Libra New Moon is the prime opportunity for each and all of us to set peaceful, calming, and balancing intentions. This is our chance to set intentions for fairness, justice, and beauty to prevail in the face of rage, bitterness, and violence. By setting these new intentions to view the people and events around us objectively, to accept what is happening as the fruits of our past and possibly outdated intentions, and to make the effort to understand each other even if it may not seem possible; we have a chance to face and move through if not fully overcome any anger and hatred that is likely to erupt over the next 4.5 weeks.
This great overcoming is going to require joint efforts. In the true spirit of Libra, overcoming evil and hatred is not something that can be done alone – it requires partnership. Yes, you still need to be individually focused and objective. However, for your intentions to be effective there must be others who share your logic, reasons, and beliefs. There must be many more people than you alone coming up with ideas and reasoning for peaceful intentions to be made and peacefully powerful efforts to put those intentions in place.
The fruits we harvest during this 2014 Libra New Moon and 2014 Libra Sun period are of our own creation, and they are not simply matters of right-or-wrong, good-or-bad, or darkness-or-Light. They are matters in which these polarities get to be balanced – their two sides get to be brought to fairness, justice, and equality. They get to be acknowledged objectively for what they are and dealt with without bias or judgment. In setting our peaceful intentions under the influence of this 2014 Libra New Moon, we also get to remember that one side of a polarity cannot exist or be known without its equal opposite. This is why these are, instead, matters of right and wrong, good and bad, and darkness and Light – all learning to co-exist in equal and balanced partnership. We cannot deny what must exist. We cannot deny both sides of ourselves and each other.
We can only say a prayer that we are strong enough to acknowledge the harvest we have created for all that it is and to ring it into balance. Set intentions for acceptance, peace, and love tonight.
We are going to need them over these next few weeks.
Thank you for reading and sharing Signs and Numbers. Until next post…
~ Light, Love, and Blessings,
Grace
