“From knowledge to heart-centered wisdom”

The symbols activated by the October 21st Libra New Moon bring us both a shift in momentum and a required pause as we transform knowledge to wisdom on the cusp of significant transformation. Venus, the ruler of this New Moon, also hosts this lunation from her domicile, helping us set intentions that resonate deeply with our values on the eve of what is sure to be a transformative Scorpio season.

This lunation’s Tarot Majors include Justice (Libra), The Empress (Venus rules Libra), and The Wheel of Fortune (Jupiter rules Libra’s 3rd decan). This decan holds the idealistic, heart-centered Knight of Cups and the energy of required retreat in the 4 of swords. These auspicious cards ask us to tap into to the wisdom of our natural cycles. Allowing for periods of rest and renewal will bolster our momentum to pursue our hopes for greater prosperity, justice and balance.

The Sun and Moon meet in the Understanding expression in Libra 29. The Sabian symbol for this degree relates to generational knowledge, revelations, and the transformation of knowledge and experience into wisdom.

The I Ching activation is in the 3rd line of Hex50 (The Cauldron). According to @bellwen Hex50 relates to “the events after the regime change…establishing a new order after dismantling an old one is much harder than the dismantling process of revolution itself.” And on line 50.3: “Dramatic events leading up the this point have caused one to be purged of emotions. A sudden, profound realization comes to light. What had been blocked and suppressed deep within is finally let out. Thus, a good omen.” This line changes Hex50 to Hex64 (Before Completion) which relates to the period of stillness after a peak situation. Hex64.3 specifically counsels 4 of swords-type energy.

Use this New Moon to slow down and unwind. After several weeks of intense energy we end October in a period of heart-centered transition. Honor this time of delay or pause, set clear intentions and formulate a strategic plan aligned with your values.
