Moon & Mercury in Libra

Agile Inner Mind

MOON meets MERCURY at 25°LIBRA where Harmonious Agility is key! 

The constellation for this area of Libra is LUPUS the great celestial wolf. Much like the dragon, the wolf was vilified in times past.

The Wolf is an ancient symbol of hierarchy within the self, the alpha male and female reflecting the personal Sun & Moon.

The Outer & Inner in lead position of the additional aspects. Each aspect with their own unique role within the workings of the pack.

Highly intelligent and very communicative wolves always do their best to avoid conflict. The Sabian picture symbol for this degree:

AN EAGLE AND A WHITE DOVE CHANGE SWIFTLY INTO EACH OTHER. 

Ability to easily transition between the higher thought forms of illuminated awareness and pure peace.

Moon & Venus in Libra

Valuable Inner Mission

MOON meets VENUS at 18°LIBRA where Personal Purpose is key!

The constellation for this area of Libra is DRACO the epic celestial dragon that's wound around the great Pole Star of truth.

The Dragon is a longstanding symbol of personal purpose. Like many ancient symbols, the dragon was demonized long ago.

Easy to see the results of vilifying the symbolism found within this archetype. The Sabian picture symbol for this meetup degree:

ROBBERS ARE HIDING, READY TO ATTACK THE HEAVILY ARMED CARAVAN. 

Negative attitudes lie in wait with sights set on derailing the strongly protected personal mission.

Vesta brings attention to the inner flame alight within, providing inspiration to mankind as keeper of the great eternal flame.

SUN in LIBRA

Fall Equinox 2019

Equal day and night with the realms of the SUN & MOON in perfect balance upon the golden scales of LIBRA.

The SUN enters LIBRA as we transition into the moon ruled portion of the year, following the sun ruled spring/summer half of the year.

The outer lessons through spring/summer, then the marriage of the Sun & Moon at Fall Equinox for the inner classes of fall and winter.

The SUN tours LIBRA 9/23-10/23 as the Outer partners with the Inner for our epic journey inward through the fall/winter half of the year.

Outer Awareness of the SUN shifts from the (mutable) earth realm of analyzation in VIRGO to the (cardinal) air sign of balance in LIBRA.

As the Sun tours Libra, the Moon covers the (cardinal) leadership expressions of all four elements; FIRE, WATER, AIR, and EARTH.

LIBRA SEASON LUNATIONS:

Sept28 Libra New MOON (cardinal air)
Oct5 Cappie Waxing MOON (cardinal earth)
Oct13 Aries Full MOON (cardinal fire)
Oct21 Cancer Waning Moon (cardinal water)

Balance & harmonization can already be seen as we begin with a New Moon! The lunar cycle is now perfectly aligned to the celestial month.

This harmonious flow between the luminaries lasts for 9-months through Summer Solstice with abundant attention on the Inner Moon.

Asteroid Vesta with her own strong ties to the sign of Libra goes on an Rx Mission of Inner Adoration on this very lovely Fall Equinox too!

A time of Inner Release as the celestial month of VIRGO both began with a Gemini Waning Moon and now draws to a close with one too.

This last lunation of spring/summer leads us into a 9-month intunment where each celestial month begins with a New Moon.

This new intunment lasts from Fall Equinox to Summer Solstice of 2020. The Sabian picture symbol for this lunation degree:
