Work with the phases of the Libra New Moon Cycle to design the life you want.
Welcome to AUTUMN!
Autumn is the time of year when the days and nights start off as equal length and every day gets a little shorter until Winter Solstice. In NYC I welcome the cool mornings and nights and I savor the warm days of autumn. It is my favorite season and its cool, comfortable, and beautiful.
The official start of autumn aligns with the beginning of Libra Season on September 22nd. As the cardinal sign of balance and harmony, Libra thrives in creating peaceful relationships and resolving conflicts with grace. Libras naturally seek fairness, seeing situations from all angles and approaching them with tact and diplomacy.
This year's Libra New Moon on October 2nd offers a cosmic opportunity to set intentions for the Libra Moonth and the Autumn season ahead. It’s the perfect time to align with the energies of balance, peace, and new beginnings as we step into the heart of fall.
I like to think of Autumn as the beginning of the end of the year. With three months still ahead before the New Year, it’s the perfect time to take stock of how far you’ve come. Autumn offers a window of opportunity to reflect on your progress or reignite a project that was started earlier in the year and set aside during summer. You can either wrap things up or get a head start on something meaningful, making the most of this season's steady, grounding energy.
The Libra new moon invites you to develop relationships and partnerships. The tools of the time are communication and intellect.
The Libra New Moon
The Libra 2024 New Moon is on Wednesday, October 2nd
Libra is the sign of beauty, harmony, and relationships, bringing an energy that is supportive, creative, and collaborative. There is a natural inclination to cooperate with others and foster a sense of peace and balance. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, relationships, and abundance, Libra invites us to cultivate both inner and outer harmony.
The archetypes that represent Libra are the Lover, the Artist, and the Peacemaker—all emphasizing the desire for connection, creativity, and tranquility. However, when Libra's energy spirals downward, it can become combative, superficial, and lacking in authenticity.
In the Tarot, Libra is symbolized by the Justice card, embodying fairness, truth, and the pursuit of equilibrium in all things. Venus, Libra's planetary ruler is symbolized by The Empress card, and the Queen of Swords symbolizes Libra modality and element, cardinal fire.
Develop Relationships that lead to Partnerships

Journal why you would like to bring in or release these qualities.
Write down up to ten intentions or wishes themed on Libra focus areas.
The best way to make your intentions into a reality is by dedicating time to them. Every new moon I set my intentions, do my tarot spread, and revisit it. I reflect on where I was, where I am, and where I'm going. I find this introspection brings me clarity on how to move forward. It also helps with synchronicity because the Universe knows what I want.
