New Moon in Libra: Final Boss
Astrotoolkit™
square Jupiter - dramatic flare-ups
quincunx Saturn - clearing of dead energy
opposed Chiron - pain via projection
Um…hi…who hurt you? This new moon in Libra tomorrow runs surprisingly hot, opening doors to demons long past so you finally vanquish them. New moons bloom internally, like a steady realization of who you’re becoming, but here we see the dark moon acting a LOT more like a full moon. Karmic dictator Saturn is closing a chapter for you that you can’t unclose, even as it opens up old stories about who you used to be that seemed to have died long ago. Even in Libra, the most unbothered and merge-y of signs, the energy is decidedly dramatic, significant, and powerfully triggering. Daggers in the back, old heartbreaks, Wuthering Heights, lies, dramatic foil. Jupiter, exalted in a tense square, inflames the highs and lows to theatrical proportions. The key word here is: overwhelming.
Libra is about style and symmetry — what it looks like to balance your energy with another’s and mute parts of yourself that don’t serve the relationship. Now is a time to take a hard look at the wounds you’ve created by maintaining equilibrium with others and slowly let all the pressure escape. With Jupiter, this may feel excessively limiting when you want to just talk real. You’re challenged to communicate boundaries and past resentments with elegance and save your inner monologue for the mirror. Saturn here is calling you to act with maturity.
Libra season calls us to connect and diffuse boundaries. You’re investigating who you want to be as a partner or friend and what changes you would have to make to begin that journey. In order to do this, you may need to clear the air on some issues that have long been festering in your relationship or understand what self-esteem issues may be holding you back from feeling whole. Libra, the cosmic confidant and actress, is giving her best “get the fuck up” monologue after the loss or 10 of swords moment you may have experienced during this fall’s powerful eclipse season. This was part of a larger pattern in your life and you are confronting what wounds it’s hiding. You may not have noticed, but in the days leading up to this new moon, you are starting to “drop the rope” on damaging relationship fears that are no longer serving you. You’re becoming more realistic and self-aware, but a touch jaded at the same time.
With Chiron involved here, old wounds are being activated by very real people, reminding you of who you were when you last felt this way. You may repeat a pattern under this influence only to finally break a cycle. With Jupiter, a cosmic trip wire has been activated, sparking heated overreactions. Plotting, preparing, planning, growth behind the scenes, moving in silence. You’ve drawn a line (in chalk or otherwise) around the bounds of yourself. With Jupiter, you keep smudging it out and redrawing it larger. It’s time to notice where you end and others begin.
