Waning Moon in Libra

This note covers the Moon's transit through Libra today (Tuesday) through early Thursday morning.

The waning Moon, lovely in the sky, entered harmonious Libra this morning. As we move toward Sunday's powerful New Moon in Sagittarius, this time in Libra can help us find inner balance.

We look destiny in the face once again today, as the Moon squares Pluto and the North Node, both in Capricorn. What is the balance point between serenity of thought, and outward action? How can we honor past traditions while taking focused and determined action toward a desired future?

Mercury, planet of thought and communication, enters Capricorn today. After exploring new territory in Sagittarius, our minds begin thinking of the concrete steps needed to reach our goals.

The Sun and Moon flow energy in sextile tonight, opening a window of insight and understanding. Close to the end of the Last Quarter phase, this connection between the luminaries in Fire and Air makes Tuesday night a good time for dreams, visioning and journeys of all kinds.

The Moon joins Saturn in Libra early Wednesday, revisiting the theme of finding the balance between thought and action. Mercury flows energy in sextile with Venus in Scorpio, sharing information from Scorpio's depths and assessing its practical value. The Moon's final aspect this day is a flowing sextile with Mars in Sagittarius, thought and action, Air and Fire, joining again.

Wednesday night, the Libra Moon connects with powerful outer planets messengers, trining Neptune the visionary and Chiron the mentor, while forming inconjuncts to Jupiter the philosopher and Uranus the revolutionary. Once again, windows open for intuitive guidance.

The coming New Moon represents a new, larger connection with the cosmos. Taking time during these final days of the waning cycle to clarify goals, release what we've completed, and find inner balance will help us align with this opening.
