Embracing the New Moon in Libra: A Time for Reflection and Growth

The Significance of This New Moon

Tonight, as the Moon slips into darkness, she enters the diplomatic, balanced realm of Libra. This celestial event invites us to reflect, realign, and — most importantly — plant sacred seeds in the fertile soil of our inner world.

It’s a perfect moment to ask ourselves: How do I stand in my own light while honouring the space of the other? What seeds of partnership, connection, and mutual growth am I ready to plant?

As if the heavens have conspired to amplify this moment of gestation, the Orionids — meteors born from Halley’s Comet’s ancient debris — peak just as this New Moon graces the sky. Because the Moon is new (hiding its light), our skies are extra dark, offering a perfect canvas for the meteors to trace their luminous arcs.

Watch for them between midnight and the pre-dawn hours. The radiant lies in the Orion constellation, but the streaks can fall anywhere across the sky. In this darkness, every flash becomes a message, a possibility, an invitation from the cosmos.

Think of this New Moon as the underground, gestational space where your deepest hopes are germinating. You don’t see roots yet. You don’t see shoots sprouting. But the work is happening.

A Ritual You Can Do

Set the Scene

Find a quiet space under the night sky if you can. Light a soft candle. Breathe deeply. Acknowledge that you are entering a sacred pause.

Reflect

With the Moon in Libra, ask yourself:

• Where in my life do I seek more balance?

• What relationships (in all forms: love, business, self-relationship) need a new beginning or re-alignment?

• What seeds of intention am I ready to plant in the fertile darkness of the unseen?

  
  

Write Your Seeds

On paper, write short phrases or words (not full sentences) as if your intention has already begun. Examples include: “I am in harmonious partnership,” “I share and receive abundance freely,” and “My creative collaboration uplifts all.”

Release into the Darkness

Fold your paper and place it under a pot plant, or hold it in your hands. Imagine the meteor streaks above you as cosmic messengers — affirming your intention and sending it out into the vast field of possibility.

Sit in Stillness

Stay for a moment in silence, gazing upward if you can. Know that the darkness is your ally. In this unseen realm, energy gathers, seeds root, and the future takes shape.

The Path Forward: From Dark to Light, From Seed to Bloom

As the Moon waxes toward fullness, so too will your intentions grow. Keep your awareness gentle and steady. Remember: Manifestation under this New Moon is not about forcing or striving. It’s about aligning, opening, and allowing.

Just as meteors streak across a dark sky seemingly in an instant, so too can your shifts feel sudden. However, the inner work has been quietly happening. Remember the Libra energy: this isn’t just about you. It’s about we. It’s about how your new beginning intersects with community, connection, and co-creation.

Let the meteor shower remind you: you are part of a bigger tapestry. Each spark in the sky is a reminder of your capacity to shine, to transform, and to birth something new.

Blessing for the Night

Under the cloak of darkness and the hush of the New Moon, may you honour the unseen, trust your inner knowing, and plant with faith the seeds of your abundant becoming. May your relationships flourish in harmony. May your visions be clear, your intentions rooted, and your manifestation radiant.

And when you gaze upward and catch a streak of light crossing the sky, may you feel a knowing: the cosmos is listening.

Dream Big - This is My Mantra for October

Dream without limitations and plant those seeds or bulbs of dreams into the dark earth for the magic of Mother Earth to nurture into being.
