October Moon Musings

Your monthly guide to what's happening in the astrological world

October 15th welcomes the New Moon in the Cardinal Air sign of LIBRA!

At 3:55am AEST the new moon is exact bur a few minutes earlier at 3:49am we also have a solar eclipse.

This is a potent New Moon so lets use this intense Libra energy to our advantage!

Libra is the sign of relating, harmony and our negotiating skills

Libra is represented by the scales of justice, how can we bring more balance into our lives?

Libra also reminds us that we can’t find harmony in our relationships if we don’t feel in balance with ourselves

This is a great time to look at your relationship to yourself and your own needs and desires within your relationships. As always, the New Moon represents a time of new beginnings and planting seeds of intention, What do you want in your relationships?

This includes Romantic relationships, business partners, family and close friendships

The solar eclipse brings in some karmic alignment if it is needed so don’t be afraid to make room for what is meant to be in your life and release that which is not feeling balanced.

October 29th at 6:23am AEST sees the Full Moon in the earth sign of Taurus.

The Full Moon is a time of culmination and fulfilment of what was started on the New Moon, a time of fertilisation.

While Taurus is the sign of stability and needs a sense of security, be careful not to seek these things out in a material fashion as it will not fill that void. It is time to accept change as a part of life as the Sun in the opposite sign of Scorpio is calling for transformation!

This Full Moon brings with it a partial solar eclipse at 6:14am AEST and the last on the Taurus/Scorpio axis so it is important to find the balance between these two energies Scorpio’s desire for complexities and mystery blending with the Taurus desire for simplicity and comfort.

It is time to work on what has been holding you back, where have you been playing small in order to remain comfortable?

This lunar eclipse may have a way of highlighting the dysfunctional areas of our lives and calling them into focus!

Ultimately though, with any form of change comes an opportunity for growth so lean in…. What you can you learn from recognising these old habits and how can you evolve in this process?

Fixed signs are feeling this one the most! Scorpio, Taurus, Leo and Aquarius sun/moon and risings
