Heavenly Bodies: Yogis Horiscope for New Moon in Libra: Balancing the Heart: Portland, Oregon: September 29, 2019

A delicate balance between tour life and a stay-at-home writer-yogini.

Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, love and relationships. This New Moon travels with her ruler Venus as well as the planet of communications, Mercury. The sign of Libra, the scales, signifies balance, harmony, and justice. It weighs and measures things. Yogis say all teachings are revealed in relationship; it’s an excellent new moon to weigh in and measure up your sense of identity in terms of a balanced heart in dharma. This is a particularly good astrology for stepping into new ways for self -care and self-empowerment. When we are out of balance we can’t possibly walk in our true purpose.

The softer side of this New Moon energy is about greater connection and harmony, a natural alignment when we are centered and operating from a place aligned with our hearts. Because the heart always wants to connect, disharmonious relationships always feel uncomfortable. The energy of this new moon brings with her some intensity as the light shines on getting honest with ourselves about the quality of our relationships.

Finding emotional equilibrium is the call of this New Moon. New boundaries likely will be redrawn as we dive deeper into yet another new cycle of life and further down our path in this amazing, beautiful, mysterious, world. We are asked to tackle roadblocks to living our fullest life differently by coming from a place of deep inner harmony. Astrologer Channi Nicolas suggests we “take our tasks seriously and ourselves with a grain of salt” as we venture forth in this next lunar cycle. We are on the brink, the stars say, of expanding our dreams but not without dedication to a willingness to balance the energies of the heart and stay true to ourselves.
