Lunar Astrology: Moon Reflections & More for October 2012 by Shakti Carola Navran
A Libra New Moon October 15 & Taurus Full Moon October 29, 2012
At the end of September universal energies have begun to shift with the Fall Equinox; days are getting shorter and the general energy is turning more inwards. The equinox is one of the magical, pivotal points of the year. The Equinox in Libra is inviting you to choose the direction you now want to take for the remainder of the year. With Libra you can look at your life and decide what steps you want to take for improvements.
The symbol for Libra, a scale, indicates Libra’s strong need for balance. Libras are very oriented towards other people and are skillfully attuned to their needs and emotions. Their preference in relationships is for harmony and love—they are peacemakers. But – making somebody else happy is not really possible as many of us can attest, as we have surely tried. And we often want our beloved partners to make us happy. Did it ever truly work? The responsibility for happiness and joy lies squarely on our own shoulders. But, with a kind heart and compassion for yourself and OTHERS, you can be well on your way to a balanced life.
Saturn Moving into Scorpio October 5
The big celestial event this month is that Saturn, as well as Mercury, is entering Scorpio. In the last 2 ½ years in Libra, Saturn has been upgrading our issues around love and relationships. Now he is ready to turn his scrutiny into a different area. There will be more willingness to face deeper issues around dysfunction in economic and political structures, just in time for the presidential election. But it will not get too severe right now because of the placement of Sun and Moon in Libra.
The New Moon in Libra
Faced with existential fears and economic challenges, we all need to find creative ways to achieve inner balance and harmony in order to keep above the deep, dark, churning, emotional waters. Turning to each other for support and love is a smart way to deal with fears and feelings of angst.
I grant you, we are often far away from the state of loving consciousness because inner parts of us get triggered and come into the forefront. Therefore, take advantage of this New Moon, because Love is in the air! With a New Moon in Libra you are reminded of your true nature which is unconditional love!
But this is the time to attune to the divine spirit and find new ways to give love, compassion and understanding to others around you. If you want more love or a relationship in your life, you need to be the one who is grounded in love. You need to be the right kind of person to attract the kind of relationship for which you yearn.
Full Moon in Taurus
The Full Moon offers us a clear perspective into the emotional unfolding of what has begun with the New Moon. It is the high point, the pinnacle of that emotional theme and how we tend to approach life throughout the month. With the Full Moon in Taurus, you are reminded of the joy you have within your body, through the body. Taurus is sensual and very physical. His approach to life is very practical and earthy.
You are invited to celebrate the temple of your soul with a massage, a sweat lodge, a hot bath or Jacuzzi, or love making with your significant other. It is a time to give thanks and feel gratitude for what your body is giving and enabling you to do.
For the spiritual beings we are, we need this physical container, our body, to participate in the experience of being human and remember what a joy that can be…
