New Moon Friday September 22nd; Solar Eclipse; Sun moves into Libra

Drama Unfolds This New Moon Time

I wanted to tell you about a bunch of simultaneous mojo going on with the planets this week, specifically this coming Friday the 22nd. 

On Friday the 22nd there is a solar eclipse which happens simultaneously with the new moon time at 7:41am Eastern Daylight Time. Eclipses can have a bit of drama to them because as the sun goes dark, people can experience a darkening of the light in their own lives. Don't allow yourself to get caught up in fear or distress, even if other people around you are acting chaotic. This brief "burp" of weird energy will quickly pass. Since it's also the new moon, try to stay focused on the positive. Use this time to visualize feelings and situations you'd like to bring into your life over the next four weeks. As I've written before, new moons are powerful times for setting goals and working personal "magic" because on an energetic level they are like a spiritual new year. The things you hold in your mind and the vibration you sustain will have a huge impact on what you experience over the following four weeks.  So keep up the good vibes!

Right after the eclipse it's on to a friendly conjunction between the moon and the sun, both in the sign of Virgo. This happens just minutes after the eclipse at 7:45 am Eastern Daylight Time. This handshake of planets in Earth sign Virgo could provide an important moment of insight. You might attain sudden clarity about a decision you need to make. You'll tell yourself "Let's roll!" as you resolve to move forward with something important. You'll be willing to work hard to get the job done, whether this involves career stuff or issues surrounding a relationship.

Shortly after that the moon moves into Air sign Libra. This happens at 9:06am.  The moon changes signs roughly every three days, so it can strongly affect our moods and our energy levels.  The moon in breezy Libra will clear out any remaining psychic clouds that were stirred up by that morning's eclipse.  You might feel an increased desire to socialize, to connect with soulmates and to have heart to heart chats with people who share your wavelength.  Libra is a huge communicator, and people born under this sign sort problems out by talking about them and by relating to others.  Whatever sign you're born under, the moon in Libra will inspire you to connect and to relate as you head into the weekend.

Then in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday the 23rd the sun moves into Air sign Libra, where it will stay for four weeks.  Under this influence, Air signs like Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius will be feeling mellow. 

People born under the sun sign of Aries, which is opposite Libra, might feel more challenged on all levels during this transit. This could be a time when Aries folks are forced to take a long, hard look at their lives and discard anything that isn't working. For Aries, this will be a time for self-examination.

We were all experiencing a "worker bee" and "back to school" feeling throughout late August and most of September as the sun moved through Earth sign Virgo.  Now that the sun is headed for Libra, expect to feel a lighter, more social energy coursing through your life.  Get out and play after a long week of doing homework. Focus on enjoying your family and loved ones, now that you've taken care of some important tasks during this recent Virgo transit.

So after the new moon and solar eclipse on Friday morning, it should be smoother sailing and gentler energy for all. But the eclipse and new moon themselves could feel a bit "bumpy" as we all sense some chaotic energies trying to grab control of our psyches.  Send that negativity packing by maintaining a clear, loving, and peaceful focus, and make good use of this powerful new moon time.
