Things are looking up and clearing up, thanks to a beautiful New Moon, one sign change, and the end of a Retrograde this week!
Libra New Moon on 10/6 at 7:05AM EST / 4:05AM PST:
On Wednesday, we have our annual New Moon in the balanced sign of Libra, and this particular one is a GORGEOUS one! We will have a total of FOUR heavenly bodies—the Sun, New Moon, Mars and Mercury—in the pleasing sign of partnership, so love and relationships will be favored for the next two weeks following this New Moon. In addition, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto are all playing nicely, giving luck and abundance and staying-power to anything you initiate now.
So, as with all New Moons, this marks our monthly time to get clear on exactly what it is we desire and wish to create in our time here on earth. In the hours following the New Moon (so, after 7:05AM EST), get into a meditative or clear headspace and allow your inner knowing to guide the vision you see for yourself. Get clear on what’s calling to you from the deepest depths of your soul.
After you get clear, write it down! Write you New Moon wishes or intentions on a piece of paper that you sign and date during the hours AFTER the New Moon. During the first eight hours is ideal (that would be from 7:05AM - 3:05PM EST), but honestly, anytime Wednesday or Thursday would work.
[A few notes about the written word and your New Moon wishes: write in the POSITIVE tense, only for YOURSELF, paying attention to how you desire to FEEL.]
After you’ve gotten clear and then committed your visions to words, START TAKING STEPS FORWARD during the two weeks following the New Moon. Literally, the smallest step in the direction of your dreams will begin to create a momentum. It matters not how big the action is, just that you’re taking SOME action towards your new vision. Yes, Mercury will be retrograde until the 18th, but that shouldn’t stop the non-contract and non-buying-electronics actions steps from happening :)

If you’re into witchy rituals to celebrate the New Moon, I strongly recommend using the following mix of pure essential oils to get clear on your purpose and direction (Roman Chamomile), be able to untangle YOUR desires from other people’s desires (Tea Tree), and be able to smoothly communicate your needs with ease (Lavender).

Pluto Retrograde Ends on 10/6:
Pluto has been moving through Capricorn since 2008, wreaking havoc on our society’s systems (healthcare systems, financials systems, government, etc) and causing us to rethink how all the power is structured.
Every year, Pluto’s power dims, as he goes retrograde for 4-5 months. This year, he began his backward motion on April 27th. This Wednesday, he resumes his normal forward motion again, and a certain area in your life may seem to pick up speed again, for better or for worse.
With Pluto, it won’t all be easy. But whatever structure gets ripped away, it will also be rebuilt for greater.
The following signs may experience a burst of momentum in these areas:
Aries: Career
Taurus: Higher education, Religion, Legal matters, Entrepreneurship
Gemini: Sex, Intimate relationships, Secrets
Cancer: Partnerships, Competition
Leo: Work, Health, Productivity
Virgo: Creativity, Pleasure, Romance, Fertility
Libra: Home, Family, Real estate
Scorpio: Communication, Writing or speaking projects, Sales
Sagittarius: Earned income
Capricorn: Identity, Personal goals, Appearance
Aquarius: Closure, Psychic insight, Healing
Pisces: Humanitarian efforts, Friendships
Venus enters Sagittarius 10/7 - 11/5:
When love and abundance planet enters the expansive, optimistic sign of Sagittarius, expect our relationships to get more adventurous and our money habits to get a little risker over the next three weeks!
Venus in the sign of the Archer values more independence in love, and tends to be attracted to people who are different from us (and therefore, whom we can learn from). If partnered, expect to want to get some fresh air in nature with your beloved, or to desire exotic travel (even if that means booking a trip for next year, when we can actually go places again!).
We also might get a little looser with our wallets, generously donating to causes, buying presents for loved ones, of taking little gambles here and there. Just keep your wits about you and don’t get TOO loose with your Venmo account!

I love to use certain shortcuts to help me process and integrate emotions and energetic trends. For Venus in Sagittarius, I’d use pure essential oils to allow me to feel all the freedom (sexual and otherwise) that this transit promotes (Jasmine), while feeling expansive and exploratory (Wild Orange), and most importantly, able to communicate these different needs in a way that promotes intimacy instead of separation (Lavender).
