EP 110: New Moon in Libra + Pluto Direct

With a New Moon like this, who needs eclipse season?! The energy this week is intense! With the New Moon in Libra on Wednesday conjunct Mars, you might have the urge to react to something or someone. It’s not just Mars causing havoc, Pluto stops in the sky to turn around and resume forward motion after being retrograde since April - sheesh!

When Pluto stations, it’s when we feel that far away planet (or dwarf planet) most acutely. The hot, sticky stuff under the surface started to bubble early in the week - think volcanoes erupting. You might have had an eruption yourself, and if you didn’t, pay attention to what was bubbling up deep inside of you.

This New Moon feels almost like an eclipse because the planets are all answering to Venus and she’s about to meet up with the South Node. The name of the game this week is forgiveness.

With so many planets in Libra, our relationships, partnerships, friendships, and social connections are all getting the cosmic spotlight. This week will help you get clear on who in your life provides a safe and supportive haven for your heart, and who you need to have an honest conversation with about how to move forward, whether that is together or independently.

Luckily, Venus enters Sagittarius on Thursday, she gets to shake off her month of moodiness in Scorpio and find her fun again.

On Friday the Sun and Mars meet up and deliver the confidence, inspiration, optimism, and motivation that you’ve been seeking. Right after his date with Mars, the Sun joins Mercury and that marks the halfway point of this Mercury retrograde cycle! (Listen to the podcast for a lowdown on the Facebook shutdown.)

The weekend brings no rest for the weary as Pluto and Eris have their fifth and final square exposing the places where hubris, arrogance, and power are being abused. And finally, Saturn stations to join Pluto in forward motion on Sunday.

What a week!

As these planets move direct, one after the other in quick succession, the momentum in your is picking up. Make sure you’re taking good care of your mind, your body, and your heart. You want to feel grounded and clear-headed so you can make good choices and stay in alignment with your truth as the pace of life continues to accelerate.
