The Opportunity to Heal Relationships
Feeling frustrated yet? Yes, Mars is in Libra under the Sunrays! This Libra New Moon is so intense that you've already been feeling it probably since a week ago. If you read my Daily Transits (scroll down), you've probably understood what was going on in your life in relationships.
The Libra New Moon special feature is that there are three cycles starting at the same time. The New Moon, the New Mars, and four days later the New Mercury. The Sun highlights and purifies each of them on the subject of Libra, which is relationships. This means that the conjunction Moon Sun Mars Mercury infuses not only the Moon Cycle, or the six months until the Libra Full Moon, but the two years of the Mars cycle and the almost three months of the Mercury cycle. So, it's a good idea to take note of the events in your life around this Lunation, to keep track of those cycles, and see the developments that each planet brings as it travels around the zodiac.
By the same token, after emerging from their initiation with Chiron, the Sun has travelled for months through the different phases (aspects), with opportunities, struggles, challenges, self analysis, and accomplishments. Today, the Sun and the Moon show the fullness (opposition) of their revolution. Our emotional reactive instinct (Moon) joins the essence of our individuality (Sun), and they both look themselves in the mirror of Chiron. It's their maximum potential of their cycle with Chiron this year.
The Libra New Moon indicates a reset in relationships. The phases of planetary relationship, called aspects, parallel the evolution of Nature through the seasons. Symbolically, we go from the darkness of Winter all the way to the full fruition of the Summer, and the way back to Winter. Similarly to the human development, planetary cycles to one another follow the 'seasons' cycle. They have birth (conjunction), growth, development, maturation, reproduction, decay and death. We discussed about the phases of the Moon in relation to Chiron in a previous article, and throughout the year we've been discussing the phases of the Sun in relation to Chiron as well. October 3, the Sun opposed Chiron exactly.
With this New Moon opposite Chiron, we experience the pain to be ourselves reflected on 'another'. This opposition presents us with situations where we can find ourselves projecting our insecurities, inadequacies, and vulnerabilities on the 'other' like on a mirror. Hopefully, we've been consciously working on them since March 28, 2021 when the Sun conjoined Chiron, we've faced the struggles and overcame them. Think back, how you were feeling about yourself then? and how your relationships have evolved since? Go back and read my daily transits. The New Moon gives us a new perspective about our relationships.
Today, we become aware of some aspect of a relationship, realize a truth, or accomplish an important milestone in the evolution of that relationship. Something about who we are has been bothering it, and we need to embrace those feelings of not being 'good enough', of being faulty or at fault, of being inadequate. There is a new emotional awareness, of our own imperfections, moral, psychological, physical, appearing in the relationship as blocks or obstacles. However, at the same time, we can find a way to accept and integrate them, and work with them to make the relationship more functional.
In fact, the most important relationship we are working with is the relationship with ourselves. Today, the mirror shows us that painful piece, that fragment of our individuality that we need to integrate in order to love ourselves just as we are.
In the world, this shows up in the overwhelming problem of people forced to unroot themselves from their own country, culture, customs, religion and lifestyle because of unsolvable conflicts of war, famine, or violence. Incorrectly called 'immigrants' instead of 'refugees', once they cross frontiers, they find themselves facing the pain of being 'different' as seen by the others. The New Moon is hopefully, the time when we start looking ourselves in them. Face to face, aren't we as different to them as they look to be for us? And, in the end, don't we all of us, human beings, have the same needs, sorrows and desires?
New Moon quincunx Uranus
At the same time, this awkward relationship with Uranus, shows up as a dislocation between the harmony required in this new beginning and finding difficult to conform to 'normal' expectations. Uranus in Taurus, a stubborn Earth Sign, builds up under the surface, and once the pressure is too high, it explodes, like a volcano. Although we accept and integrate our feelings of imperfection, and of not measuring up to the circumstances of our relationships, yet in order for us to break free, we rebel against those who don't tolerate 'differences'. Humanity as a whole realizes now how broken it is. We have our own self-undoing IN OUR FACE. It shows as the refugee asking for asylum, as the unemployed or needy person, as a rejected friend from a group, as a rejected citizen from a community, as another war-broken human being at our door, or as a victim of a catastrophe.
The New Moon also makes a tight trine to the Jupiter Saturn midpoint (14º♒️43). Here, we are challenged to revise and adjust the social norms to liberate us from the restraining conditioning of the collective consciousness. There is a need for farther reaching conversations, and finding middle ground between two stubborn positions. The strong energy with three planets in Libra looks for diplomatic negotiations. Even though the situation looks challenging or unsolvable, Libra demands listening, considering the 'other's position who is diametrically different, original, or 'out of the norm'. Libra is able to cross the street to the other side and change perspective in order to allow the relationship to happen.

We now got to the point that there is so much migration in all directions, that those who have been stubbornly holding to 'my way is the right way' of being, will break down. We got to the point of having to recognize that there is only ONE HUMAN that needs a human way to survive, even though the package changes colors. This is evident in the long lasting semi-sextile between Chiron and Uranus. As a whole, humanity will be forced to bridge the gaps of differences and understand that whatever we do to others, we do to ourselves.
Melanie Reinhart called Chiron, the Rainbow Bridge, between two worlds, the ideal and the material, the spiritual and the physical. It is through experiencing the pain of being human, with basic survival needs for food, shelter and safety, that we finally understand the commonality. Then, we can finally build a community where we live and work for the benefit of all, not just for the selfish survival of the individual. We will learn mutual cooperation, because we will understand the downside of the competition that is taking us to extinction. We will learn innovative and alternative creative methods never considered or used before in order to operate this shift and survive as the human race.
