New Moon in Libra was Wednesday September 24, 2014. Libra is an air sign, so it involves the 
mental processes. When people think of Libra, they often think of the scales of balance, and this is a sign that is about balance in many ways.
We have just left the sign of Virgo, where we were pulled back into being organized and detail oriented in a if way. That may have been a bit of a shock to the system after summer fun with Leo, so it’s time to bring some balance back to life. We can take our nose away from the grindstone once in a while to enjoy and appreciate the beauty around us. We can focus on beauty and balance in the home, enjoy some art – maybe even create some.
In Virgo, everything found it’s place, but now, in Libra, it can find balance and harmony. Take a look at how things go together, how pieces work together. It’s a great time to have your home or office visited by a feng shui professional.
Librans enjoy a little luxury. They don’t mind being pampered at all, thank-you very much. They may have or aspire to elegance and grace, and may demonstrate this in their home, their dress or in their way of being.
Libra represents the scales, two, us and “the other”. It deals with relationships, partnerships, working together, “being” together. How do we interact? Do we share the load, or do we wait for someone else to do things, to make the call to get together, to carry out the garbage? Do we take turns in the leadership role, or do we sit back and wait for the other to take control? Is there an equality, a give and take in the relationship?
With Libra, it’s time to start working in co-operation, in collaboration. We need to support others, get along with our co-workers, be a team player – while maintaining an independent identity. That can be like walking a tightrope sometimes. – a tough balance to maintain. Look to your value system for guidance. – and your guides.This means that each person must step into their power in some way. They must do the work on themselves, strive to be more allowing, more self-confident – whatever needs to change or grow within them.
Karen Bishop put out a post about the ascension and it’s progress, and someone kindly sent it to me. I don’t know if you all believe in this, but she made a statement that was very interesting – a reason why things have been held back. One of the things she said is that “We needed to revere and love each other, to acknowledge each other’s gifts, reciprocally, and this was not occurring as was hoped.” So let’s say goodbye to competative behaviour and support each other. We’ll create more balance and harmony that way.
In the realm of the physical, Libra rules the adrenal glands, the kidneys and the buttocks (notice there are two of each). It also rules sugar imbalance.
If you are setting intent this new Moon, here are some samples:
I am asking to create balance and harmony in both my inner and outer life.
I am asking for the ability to get along with and co-operate with others while maintaining my own indentity and being able to express my own point of view in a balanced manner.
I am asking to create a balanced and harmonious home.
