New Beginnings in Love

The New Moon in Libra is all about love. On October 17, 2009 (PDT), when the Sun and Moon come together in the sign of peace, love and harmony, a new one-month cycle will begin that can help us improve the way we relate to each other.

The symbol for Libra is the scales of justice. In relationships, we find that balance, compromise and fairness are crucial for longevity. If you’re paired, the New Moon will help you balance your needs with the needs of your partner. It can help you see their point of view (and vice versa!). If you’re solo, it’s time to focus on what you really want in a new love relationship, which will empower your ability to manifest a compatible partner.

For more specifics on how to take advantage of the New Moon in loving Libra, read your Sun and ascendant signs below.

Libra: The New Moon in your sign strengthens your direction, and helps you manifest your desires. It heightens your powers of attraction for romance – and other things, too. If you’re paired, sharing your aspirations with your partner will empower your relationship, provided you’re meant to be together. If you’re solo, being strong in who you are will help you attract someone who shares your goals and values.

Scorpio: Getting in touch with your inner life and strengthening your intuition will be the gifts of the New Moon. In romance, creating a serene environment for intimacy will deepen your relationship. Talking about the past can bring insights – and bring you closer together, too. If you’re solo, resolving the past through forgiveness and letting go will open your heart, so a new relationship can enter your life.

Sagittarius: Socializing accelerates after the New Moon, which widens your circle of friends and brings opportunities through networking and group endeavors. If you’re paired, participating in group activities and community projects together can strengthen your tie. Sharing your aspirations will bring you closer together as well. If you’re solo, romance can be found through friends, networking, groups and community events.

Capricorn: The New Moon brings a new career cycle, so seek out opportunities to expand your work. Now is the time to capitalize on your reputation, which can bring you recognition. If you’re in a relationship, sharing your practical goals and working as a team to accomplish them will bring you closer together. If you’re solo, romance can be found through career activities or colleagues.

Aquarius: The New Moon heightens your need to explore new territories – whether they’re physical, mental or ethereal. Travel, spiritual activities and learning something new will satisfy a need to expand your horizons. If you’re paired, the aforementioned endeavors will reawaken the romance in your relationship. An exotic locale can also energize passion. If you’re solo, look for love during a class or in a spiritual group – or while traveling.

Pisces: The New Moon energizes your sexuality by helping you heal emotional wounds and blocks. It’s time to restore and renew your inner life, so you can enjoy greater intimacy – either with your present partner or with someone new. Remember, the clearer you are emotionally, the better the chance you’ll have of creating a fulfilling relationship. On a practical level, the New Moon can help you find ways to pay off debt.

Aries: The New Moon lights up your partnership sector – lucky you! This influence brings a new cycle of energy for committed relationships and close friendships. If you’re already involved, use this energy to deepen your tie by sharing some quality time together. Close friends can bring fulfillment, too. If you’re single, keeping your sights on finding someone compatible will help manifest this person in your life.

Taurus: Shared work is the theme of the New Moon. If you’re involved, embarking on a project you can work on with your partner will bring you closer together. Keep your eyes open for opportunities to expand your own work, too. Getting healthy together is another way to deepen your tie. If you’re solo, romance can be found through activities that are connected to work, health and service.

Gemini: The New Moon lands right in your romance and creativity sector, so it’s time to have some fun! If you’re already paired, use your enhanced creativity to heighten the heat between you. This should be a carefree time for love, so focus on the lighter side of your relationship. You’re a magnet for admirers if you’re solo, so be on the lookout for someone special. Just don’t give your heart away too easily.

Cancer: Activities surrounding your home and family get a boost from the New Moon. Creating a beautiful ambiance for two – or throwing a party for friends – will bring satisfaction, and show off your artistry. If you’re paired, sharing your family history and plans for your home can bring you closer together. If you’re solo, romance can be found through a family member – or perhaps the new neighbor down the street!

Leo: It’s all about revealing your brainpower during the New Moon, when flirting and other communications accelerate. Sharing your thoughts and feelings will enhance your relationship. A trip to a romantic locale will make passion sizzle as well. If you’re solo, look for romance while you’re traveling, or during a class. An online flirtation may deepen into a love affair, or at least a fun friendship.

Virgo: The New Moon brings a fresh financial cycle, so be on the lookout for moneymaking opportunities. It’s time to express appreciation for the blessings in your life. In romance, discussing your financial goals and resolving money issues will improve your relationship. If you’re solo, getting clear about what’s important to you in romance – and in other areas of your life – will help you manifest a compatible partner.
