New Moon Forecast is an astrological report from 28.9. to 27.10.2019

New Moon in Libra takes us back to relationships, unless we’ve already been there all the time. Exceptionally many New Moons have activated some area of relationships this year. We are there again, among relations, social life, partnership, friendship, affairs and love because New Moon is in Libra, the most relationship oriented sign of the Zodiac. With Libra, its ruling planet Venus, represents harmony, beauty, love, co-operation, alliances, sharing and joining. And the meaning of Venus is also emphasized because of its strong but slightly distressed position in the chart of the New Moon

Every sign of the Zodiac has it’s own pair. It might even be more accurate to talk about six sign pairs than twelve individual signs, because the opposite signs always represent the different polarities of the same thing and together they form a whole, much like a coin with two sides. For example Libra, who pursues peace, harmony and collaboration, and in its nature is considerate, pleasing and often ends up compromising ones own needs in order to avoid confrontation needs Aries’ self-centeredness, self-willed and headstrong qualities as a counterbalance. It would be ideal if these two opposite qualities were balanced in our lives. Then we would avoid losing ourselves to others (often imagined) needs and expectations or on the other side wouldn’t end up being the despot who always wants to do things in their own way and who only cares about their own benefit.

Sometimes, when this ”what I want – what you want” is distorted in ourselves, other side domineering with the expense of the other, life tries to help us strengthen the weaker side. Right now we are in such place, balance must be restored.

Libra New Moon is loosely in conjunct with Aries’ ruler Mars, which in itself brings some sternness, vigor and spunk to always benign and pleasing Libra. (Remember that when I talk about star-signs I never mean people who have that sign prominent in their horoscope. I always talk about them as an archetypal quality that we all have in some measure.) We also have Chiron opposing Sun and Moon, and that pretty much is the most important thing in this New Moon Chart. We’ve talked about Chiron a lot in our previous New Moon Forecasts, but as it is in so important role here, let’s summarise its theme a bit more.

Chiron, whom we often describe as the Wounded Healer, represents our wounds, hurts, uncertainties and low self-esteem. In our personal Natal Chart it shows the part in us that we might call the Achilles Heal. Chiron is such a multidimensional and deep archetype so that even when it also can tell much about our traumas, it also is the inner wise, the inner teacher and the healer or therapist in us. Chiron being in opposition with the New Moon activates our hurts and fears in relationships. It can show us our uncertainty, fear of being rejected or not lovable enough, even when there’s no any real reason for that in our current situation. The wounds are the wounds from the past that has to be seen in order to heal and let go. It is not possible to let go of something that we are not aware of holding on. So the best thing that can happen here is that the old patterns activate and force us to see what is in there. And this is the best possible time to make us uncomfortably aware of what’s going on inside of ourselves so that we would be motivated and ready for change. The time of New Moon always gives us a possibility for new beginning. We can choose something else, we can choose to find new ways.

The ruler of the New Moon, now when the New Moon is in Libra, is Venus and there’s a lot of pressure going on around her. Venus is in its own sign together with Mercury, which might give new insights and open up new possibilities for communication.  But it’s also in a challenging contact with Moon Nodes (the past and the future) and gets quite a heavy pressure from intensive and transformational Pluto and Saturn that represents demands and limitations. At its best this can be a time to see and be freed of negative programmings and models of action related to self-love, receiving, and one’s own worth, but there’s also sugar sweet Neptune who may lead us astray to fall into the old trap of self-deception or escapist patterns. But it seems we’re in a place where no amount of sugar coating will be of any help. We need to see and confront things as they are, and when we see what doesn’t support love and well-being, that’s what we need to let go.

It’s important to remember that none of the astrological constellations can make anything happen. Astrology is a mirror that reflects what is, it does not create any situations or make destinies. That’s why these collective stellar happenings mean a bit different things to different people. For some this might mean inner revelations and finetuning, for example like a situation where it would be a good idea to start learning to ask and receive, and not always be the one who’s okay with everything and who never thinks about what they want. For some other it might mean a time, when we need to finally take responsibility for our own life and see and talk about all the hurtful stuff that has been wiped under the carpet for years and kept silent about it. In any case it’s time to see what’s hurting your heart and what needs to be done with it. The time is now, but you decide what and how.

Main themes of the month: 

relationships, the balance between giving and receiving, no more compromise, old hurts activating in love, wounded self-esteem, to see one’s own worth, ”what you want – what I want”, loosing one’s self into pleasing others, own needs, courage to ask, transformative love, couple’s counceling, healed heart

In the Zodiac Virgo represents the skill of specialization. Virgo in us knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff, how to scrutinise, be critical and not only see the fault in everything, but also know what there is to do to make everything better. In many ways Virgo is the sign of a healer. She knows how to mend and improve. Sometimes this can lead to constant critisism and dissatisfaction, with twisted concept of perfection. Then life starts to be one never ending project to try to be better, learn more, be healthier, eat cleaner and so on. When we can’t see the value of being human and beauty of imperfection, the Virgo in us has become distorted and as an antidote we need a big dose of compassion, gentleness, leniency and update to our misconception of comparison based idea of perfection.

This New Moon in Virgo is definitely pure and focused since all the personal planets are in this analytical, practical and rational sign. And all of them are neatly side by side like pearls in a string. In astrology this is called a stellium, in other words there is a stellium when at least three planets are together in close proximity at the same place of the Zodiac. Now we have six planets in the beginning of Virgo: Mercury, Juno, Moon, Sun, Mars and Venus.

This time is perfect for everything that has something to do with organising, planning, cleaning, meticulous and detailed work that needs concentrating. This Virgo galore might direct your attention to some specific area of life that needs mending, healing, improving or revitalising. If you are familiar with astrology you might want to check the house in your natal chart that this Virgo stellium is located in. It will show you the things that most urgently need your focus and care.

In the chart of the New Moon there is such a lovely trine from invigorating Uranus to Sun and Moon. This might be the time when all that is needed to get things moving into the right direction is to see things as they are. Just looking at things with honest and critical (but non-judgmental) eyes may be enough to make the change happen in the most natural way.

The sign of the Virgo is often associated with health and wellbeing, and especially to problems in the gut or stomach area. Because asteroid Ceres, that represents nutrition, unconditional love and a fear of abandonment, is in a very intensive contact with Sun and Moon, this may be the time that issues with food, eating, concept of health, body image, loving and accepting oneself may get into the surface. This may be the time for healing insights and deep understanding. True healing and change for the better can be gained by listening and appreciating oneself, not by getting new restrictions and making new rules and trying to follow them.

Relationships and matters of heart are still very much on display, but with a different tone than in the beginning of August when New Moon was in Leo. Virgo is basically unselfish, considerate and focused of serving. The sign of Virgo is not that focused on relationships than so many other signs, it’s normally more concerned about things than people. But this time we have a very interesting combination in the chart of the New Moon. Both male-female pairs are in conjunction, so the union of the masculine and feminine is strongly emphasised. There is the Father archetype Sun (yang) and Mother archetype Moon (yin) together with the most masculine Inner Warrior Mars (yang) and the archetypal Woman Venus (yin) all in conjunct with Juno, the asteroind of marriage and soulmates. With all these planets there is also an androgynous Mercury, the messenger of Gods. And this heavenly lot is located in the beginning of the sign of the Virgo.

Depending on the situation and persons involved this very well might mean some sort of a peak experience  in the relationship. Virgo is the sign of the polishing touch and achievement of perfection. So at this time it might not only be something good but quite fantastic. In some other scenario this might indicate a union of the inner male and female. When these two basic energies are combined in the harmonious way it starts to manifest also in many different visible ways. Feminine in us is the part that represents our values, all that what is dear and important to us. Feminine is the magnetic force that attracts everythin we love and value (if we believe we are worth it!). Masculine is the active energy that goes and does and gets what the feminine in us wants. When these two forces are in balance it shows as a very natural and creative flow that makes things happen in the most fulfilling way. And it will make our life feel so satisfying that it really doesn’t matter if we are in a relationship or not.

Because the New Moon is always quite a magical time of new beginnings, this is a very good time to make new plans and direct your energy to all that you want to achieve. Take some time to yourself and make a New Moon ritual that feels right and meaningful for you. In that ritual examine carefully your life and yourself.

What is the most important thing to you in your life? To you as an individual who can live your live in a purposeful and meaningful way. If you could get one of your dreams fulfilled before you die, what would you choose that to be? What in your everyday life supports this goal and what is on it’s way? Think, analyse, evaluate and determinate, then make a concrete plan of action. If you want something and are ready to commit yourself to it by changing your habits or something in your everyday life, you can get it. Harness this special Virgo New Moon energy by creating an important and clear intention and then focus on it in the most practical way. If you truly  want something, start now.

Main themes of the month: 

specializing, concentrating, focus, everyday life, wellbeing, health, nutrition, humanity, practicality,habits, life style, cosmic marriage, relationship between feminine and masculine, commitment, intetion, wish of the heart, solution focused action, healing, mending, organizing, cleaning, clarity, renewal, new beginnings

The New Moon of August is not only flamboyant and pompous, but also loving, warmhearted, benevolent and sincere. New Moon is conjoined with Venus, the planet of balance, harmony, beauty and values. It is also one of the most important indicators of relationships and social life. Therefore invigorating and activating energies of New Moon are mostly directed towards our love life, value system and finding a balance there where it’s been compromised.

Creative self-expression is the most essential thing being represented by the sign of Leo, along with one’s heart energy and own path. Leo is all about following your own heart, passion and desire, creating your own destiny, charing creative talent with others (not as a part of a group though, but without compromises, exactly the way that feels right in your heart). The archetypal Leo that lives in all of us is a Star, Diva, Creator, Royalty and the one that stands out of the crowd for their own uniqueness, personal charm and creativity. At it’s best Leo is warm, brilliant, cordial, authentic and childlike, and we better not talk about what it can be at it’s worst, because of all the signs of the Zodiac Leo is the one that wants to turn their face towards the sun and insist that shadows or anything unpleasant doesn’t even exist, not in their life at least. And if someone says otherwise, it’s just them being jealous.

Uranus, dynamic and pulsing wildly the energy of reform, is in a very intensive contact with the Sun, Moon and Venus. This energy is an unpredictable and sudden but pushing strongly forward, which is a nice change after past months that have kept our focus in the past for so long. Almost all summer we have been forced to face unfinished things that we had left behind and thought they would stay there. All the retrograde planets, eclipses, Pluto and Saturn on the South Node of the Moon that represents our past lives and karma have taken care of this. Mercury retrograde has been like a cherry on top on this ancient cake that we have been munching these past weeks. But now Mercury has stationed direct and with a help of Uranus this means that things are starting finally to move forward, obstacles and hindrances are fading away and a big gust of cosmic wind may help us to take a huge leap ahead. And since Uranus can not be predicted nor controlled it’s best to take as steady position on a surfboard as possible, let the wave take you where it wants to go, and enjoy the ride. If you could see things from the larger perspective you would know that it’s taking yout to the best possible direction, but it demands wisdom, trust and ability to let go. If you are able to do that, this energy wave can thrust you immensely forward and even so that you can feel the joy of moving forward in your every cell.

Mercury that represents communication, words, thinking and mind has the most challenging location at the chart of the New Moon. Since it’s just ending it’s retrograde phase it’s in a so called ”station” mode and especially emphatic at these times. Also laborious and demanding Saturn along with intensive and destructive Pluto are both opposing it putting Mercury under a very heavy influence. For some this might have something to do with contracts, responsibilities or other burdens that are not yet quite dealt with. These things can not be avoided or bypassed, trying to do that would only add unnecessary anxiety or fear, and only way to be free is to face the situation and take care of everything that needs to be taken care of with meticulousness and caution.

There’s a complex aspect figure on the chart of the New Moon called The Finger of God or YOD. It points to conjoined Mars and Juno. Juno is an asteroid of unions, partnerships, marriage and craving to experience a deep and meaningful relation with someone special. Mars represents energy, aggression, sexuality, assertiveness and action. These two are in Leo aspected by Pluto and Neptune in the most confusing and abrading ways.  This configuration confirms the relationship theme of the whole chart of the New Moon bringing their own muddy undertone to the quality of time. It might be that everything in your love life or work relations isn’t quite what it seems or what it ”should be”. There’s a big risk to misstep in self-deception and refuse to see the truth, because the need to keep mental images of someone intact is stronger than the will to be honest with oneself. Depending on the person and the situation this may be just a passing drawback that will only strengthen the mutual bond when things get cleared out together, or it can be a good old double-dealing where someone didn’t mean to keep their promises in the beginning with but instead used emotive sweet talk just to manipulate or get what they wanted in purely selfish basis.

Luckily the energy of this Leo Moon is so radiant and high with self-esteem that if you happened to find yourself in such a situation, the recovery would be easy enough. Just get out of the sinkhole, shake the mud off of your hem, straighten up your posture and correct your crown, and then plunge towards all that wonderful and fun stuff that’s totally your own and makes your heart glow with such joy that no untruthful second-rate boo could ever make you feel that way.

Main themes of the month: 

creative self-expression, parth of the heart, love, relationships, marriage, harmony, balance, cordiality, benevolence, generosity, sudden changes, going forward, renewals, surprising incidents, taking care of responsibilities from the past, keeping one’s promises, being released from old by taking responsibility, brave beginnings in relationships, confusion and vagueness especially in relationships with men

Cosmic vibes in June are quite twofold, to say the least. Actually, there are three very different themes in the chart of Gemini New Moon, and it fully depends on your birthchart how these three motifs manifest in your life. Collective themes always appear in the most individual ways in lives of different people, but this time this is more apparent than normally.

Those of us who have something in about 19 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra are the ones being pressed harder than others. Some burdens, perhaps old fears from the past or some unfinished responsibilities are demanding attention and causing stress. The other lot, the ones who have 12 to 22 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces or Virgo represented in their natal chart, are like floating with a big hot air balloon, far above the boring and mundane life with their humongous plans and too many irons in the fire. The last but not the least is the third group who have something in their birthchart around 20 degrees of Taurus, Pisces or Scorpio. They seem to be especially in favour of the gods at the moment. It’s very likely that they will receive some unexpected bounty like happiness in relationships, love, improvement of self-worth, wealth or a lovely new beginning. These cosmic gifts, what ever form they take, are meant to be long-standing blessings that will improve life and bring more stability and wellbeing.

South Node, a symbol for past experiences and ”karmic saldo” is still in Capricorn with Pluto and Saturn, like they all have been for a while. They direct our attention to the practical side of life. In what shape are the structures of your life? Are they built metaphorically with steady bricks or sticks and straws, like those silly little piglets did, and then the Big Bad Wolf came and blew their houses away. This is a wonderful time to figure out how strong the foundation of your life is. You might find some crevices on perfectly good looking constructions, or it may be that you get to face some outlived restrictions or beliefs that digs the ground under your feet. To see that may be heavy and frustrating, it can make you feel shame or think you’re powerless and depressed, but giving up isn’t an option. You might find that when you’ve spent enough time in the pit, you’ve gained such strength, authority and determination that you are so much more mature and powerful than you ever were before. Then you can’t but think of it all as a very valuable stage of your growth.

This New Moon in Gemini is like a forever young Peter Pan (who’s lost his shadow), Tinker Bell, Lost Boys and the whole NeverNeverLand all wrapped together in one packet. Mercury that represents mind, thinking and endless questions is in Gemini with New Moon in opposition with Jupiter, the planet of independence, limitless opportunities, foreign realms (both inward and outward) and adventure. This is a very optimistic, risk loving, inflated and pompous combination. All those mentioned above are in a intensive aspect to fantasy planet Neptune, who is sprinkling unrealistic promises, delusions and sensitivity like a sugary fairy dust all over this dreamy set. This could mean that something quite fascinating is in the making, absolutely. Planets can’t tell if the story ends in disappointment and tears or wonderful success. If you’ve been strictly honest with yourself and been willing to see things as they are, without even one beautifying and distorting Instagram filter, then there’s a good chance to experience something real and beautiful (just remember not to overestimate your resources, time, money etc.), but it’s also good to remember that there might be some pretty rainbow coloured soap bubbles that are ready to be burst. But that can only happen to something that was never real in the first place. Surely you want to know the truth, even if it gets a bit of a soap water into your eyes in the process.

The loveliest thing in the chart of the New Moon is something called the minor grand trine. It also has Neptune involved, but here it is in such a harmonious aspects that it will probably manifest in the best possible way. Neptune in Pisces is in a soft aspect with love planet Venus in sensual Taurus. Saturn brings trustworthiness and stability with deep, passionate and intensive Pluto. The Moon Nodes are also involved here in this pretty design, so the issue here might be something that originates from times long past. Pay check from your past life or perhaps the true love from days of yore. Now is the right time to indulge in romanticism and high hopes. Don’t only wait for the best, but expect the most wonderful miracle. New Moon in Gemini is like Hermes the messenger of gods, with his winged sandals. He’s a humorous prankster and unpredictable trickster, but he also delivered letters between all worlds. What kind of mail you think he’s bringing to you?

“I am realistic – I expect miracles.” Wayne Dyer
