The sign of Libra is the only
sign represented by an inanimate symbol: the scales. Scales, of course, are
used to measure and weigh to determine how much of something we have. We when
are determining the value of whatever we are weighing up, we say we have found
its ‘balance’. This is precisely what this new moon invites us to invoke: the
balance of our own worth against someone else’s. Therefore relationships of all
sorts are called into question: are we doing enough, is the other person doing
enough? In the process we are questioning our own worth as we search for that
magic point, the point of perfect balance. Libra is ruled by the goddess of
relationships, Venus. In Libra, Venus will go the extra mile to ensure she is
giving everyone the opportunity to meet together and socialise in one way or
another. And, she also wants to ensure she looks especially attractive. The
lessons of Libra can be learned by looking to its opposite sign of Aries: the
need to work independently, to be in a hurry and to get what one wants as
quickly as possible.
During the new moon in Libra,
it is good to examine your relationships, to think about what could use a touch
of prettying up and to spend some time thinking about how valuable you are to
other people.
