Mom’s birthday falling on a Lunar Eclipse this year was fitting. The in-between time of the Lunar Eclipse and next week’s Solar Eclipse already feels like something has changed for me on a deep level. “I shared a little while back that I was still coming out of the underworld. It feels like now I am closer to the mouth of the cave.”
New Moon is the time to plant intentions — and Libra is the sign of relationships and partnerships. Libra is ruled by Venus, so there is in increased desire for love, harmony, and beauty in our lives at this time. We may be asking ourselves questions about how to have more balance in our lives and our relationships, or how to have more beauty around us, or we may seek beauty in ourselves and relationships. How do we nurture our creative dreams? How do we nurture love, give love, and receive love?
Of course, please keep in Mind that the best activities in which to engage when Mercury Retrogrades begin with the letters “RE.” So, before you engage in any Ritual Work or SpellCraft, I highly recommend you REview, REnew, RE-evaluate, RE-examine and, most importantly of all, REst!
