Asking for help, it’s not easy, not for the likes of me. Admitting that I’m not strong enough to do something for myself, surrendering, and then reaching out to the community for assistance. I’m a pretty independent type of person part of that is trauma CPTSD stuff.
The New Moon in Libra asks us to find balance and equilibrium by reaching out to the community and asking for help. It’s in the sign of Libra, which governs relationships, fairness, justice and balance. I think Libra vibes so much to the idea of relationships because you really need to surrender to the give an take energy in order to make it work.
The south Node in Aries opposes this conjunction between the Sun (our essence, our energy) and the Moon in Libra. So the temptation to be independent to our detriment is actually hurtful at this time. The Moon will conjunct with the North Node (our compass, our guide) in Libra, the Sun and later Mercury. Mercury governs our communication abilities. So don’t be afraid to reach out if you need help. Good relationships comprise of a fair give and take out of love. The people who love you, and whom you love with an open heart, have your back.
The Sabian symbol for this New moon at the 10th degree of Libra is: riding a canoe through rough waters and reaching a calm patch. So all that balancing out, all that maneuvering will eventually lead us to peace. (another thing that the sign of Libra governs).
Spell: During the month, I often write down my fears and resentments on scrap bits of paper and then burn them. I’ll be doing so today, particularly focusing on my fears. Asking the winds of change to wipe them away and give me the courage to make the changes I need to be a better person.
