staying present - Moon in Libra 10/15 - 10/17

Timing: The Moon occupies the sign of Libra from Thursday the 15th at 6:53am UTC till Friday the 17th at 6:05am UTC.

Moon in Libra: Place of Sectmate. The Moon finds moderate support from Venus. Libra Moons are excellent periods for meetings, discussions, research, and conversations that require diplomacy and tact. Conversation, dialogue, and anything which involves the meeting of the minds - especially in the one -on-one context - will be greatly supported during this period.

Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Moveable Air. Movability (cardinality) indicates short and quick bursts of activity that are cut short and not seen through as often. The moon and our own moods, activities, and attention spans tend to flit from one thing to the next. The air element promotes mental stimulation and any activities which involve communication and language, and air moon tend to be very chatty and conversational, prefer discussion and the medium of language to anything else.

Moon’s ruler: The Moon is averse to her ruler Venus in Virgo. There is no help for the Moon in supporting her significations, and so it will be difficult to make anything positive or long-lasting come out of this period

Aspects

  • Conjunction with the Sun. The sun-moon conjunction indicates great harmony between our own will and the environment around us. This is classically a great opportunity for ritual magic and ceremony, especially for setting intentions.

  • Opposition to Mars in Aries. Strong propensity for emotional frustration. Anger with people and irritation at circumstances, as well as a strong desire to change and revolutionize the status quo. Dissatisfaction with current circumstances.

  • Superior Movable Square to Jupiter in Capricorn. This brings great support from teachers and authority figures, but not necessarily in an easy way. You may be asked to take a hard look at your own approach to life, though you will be greatly rewarded if you do so.

  • Superior Movable Square to Saturn in Capricorn. Strong potential for self-doubt and shame cycles to come into play. Dissatisfaction, discomfort, and world-weariness have a potential to take over during this time.

Summary: As with last month, there are a good portion of obstacles coming up this period from the malefics, though in this case the conjunction to the sun will help to smooth things over. Interpersonal dynamics, especially those of the one-on-one variety, have the potential to work through difficulties and awkwardness to reach something better. The lack of an aspect to her ruler indicates that your time will be better spent here focussing on what arises for you in the present moment, rather than doing any long-term work. This is not the time to try and build the foundation for a new relationship, but instead investing in the immediate situations that arise in the here and now.
