New Moon-Oct.2nd,2024-Washington, D.C.
This New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse so it is particularly potent. It is in the sign of Libra which is the sign associated with relationships and because it is conjunct Mercury, the planet of communication, it is indicating how important this time is for communicating in our relationships-reaching out to partners and friends and being open when they reach out to us. There are definite challenges shown by the difficult square aspect to Mars so anger could erupt but since there is a nice Trine aspect to Venus the Planet signifying relationships and Venus has a positive Trine aspect to Saturn, it is showing that with self-control we can get over those hurdles and resolve our issues so don’t give up too easily. The sign of Libra is also associated with the Arts so it can be a good time to embark on art projects if we have had any interest in that. This is particularly relevant for people who have their Sun or Moon or Ascendant in Libra.
On this chart the 3 most outer planets: Pluto, Uranus and Neptune are all retrograde-going backward in their orbits- but in positive aspect to each other so there could be unexpected events (Uranus) challenges on a psychological level (Pluto) that can be aided by spiritual practices such as meditation. (Neptune)
