Libra new moon today - Libra is symbolised by the scales. The scales speak to the capacity to weigh things up. Furthermore, it demonstrates that things only exist in context of other things. It reminds me that we are not alone, that we are not seperate, that I can truly know myself more in context of others and 'out there'. This is why Libra is associated with relationships.
But when you think about it, everything is about relationships...your relationship to yourself, to your body, to money, to religion, to others...to life!

At this new moon Uranus the great awakener is sitting opposite, staring down this new moon cycle, hinting at the potential for new insights / awakenings in our relationships. A good question you could 

​Jupiter is travelling through Scorpio for the next 12 months. Jupiter expands everything it touches. Scorpio symbolises the under world, the taboo, all things hidden, transformation, death and rebirth and the phoenix rising out of the ashes. Facing these areas of life can be really tough.

When these principles are in harmonious relationship internally, we can begin to know wholeness. From wholeness we can be clear as we have released ourselves from internal battles and / or the need for wholeness being reliant on external sources.

If we are not whole within, we will struggle to truly commit to anything 

Astrologically we are currently in the territory of an Aries full moon, exact in approx 8 hours. Aries is symbolised by the archetype of the warrior-ess, the defender, the protector. Aries wants to know what you stand for, what you would die for. This full moon shines light on where we need to be more committed. It reminds me of the importance of what I would be prepared to die for as a way to truly know what I live for. When I know what I live for, then I can know what I stand for and am committed to.
