The New Moon in Libra is typically an opportunity to focus on partnerships, teamwork, negotiation and compromise, all while adding a bit of beauty and refinement into our lives. This year the energy is a little different because while the Sun and Moon are conjunct in Libra, Mars manages to edge his way into the picture like an unwanted photobomber. The addition of the Mars energy could agitate us, it may make some people passive aggressive, it could make others out right aggressive. We can still set intentions around the Libran topics mentioned above but realize that on the day itself the energy could feel a little out of harmony. Pluto turns direct on this day as well, bringing a heavy feel to this lunation.
Setting intentions around harmony and peace, justice and equality, seeing the other person’s point of view is helpful right now. The Sun and Mars can bring out the ego energies, so striving to release our ego can be difficult yet healing right now. Libra is also connected to beauty, fashion and pleasing aesthetics so tap into your creativity on this New Moon.
Try to have patience and grace with yourself and those around you during the next few days as the Sun /Mars conjunction is exact just after midnight on the 8th, and they both meet up with Mercury on the 9th. Words can become weapons and we need to watch what we say. We also have Venus changing signs on the 7th swapping her Scorpio vibe for Sagittarius. In addition to Pluto turning direct on the 6th, Saturn stations direct on the 10th adding to the somber tone of the remainder of this week.
