Thoughts on the New Moon in Libra Balancing Your Relationships and Forming New Ones

by Rebecca Brents

The New Moon in Libra highlights relationships.

The New Moon in Libra highlights relationships -- so for the next 4+ weeks, it's time to pay special attention to the other people in your life.

Sometimes analyzing your relationships objectively is tough. It can take real discipline and honesty to judge how your relationships are working, the part your "significant other" plays in what's going right and what's not ... and the part you play, too.

Sometimes the truth can be affirming and inspiring; sometimes it can be sobering. Like people themselves, relationships come in all varieties. And like people, they change.

Evaluating partnerships and other alliances

In Libra, we start looking for balance, especially in partnerships. These are almost never 50-50 arrangements. One partner usually gives more than the other. Sometimes, that partner gives *a lot more.* In the best relationships, this one-sidedness is temporary.

Eventually the pendulum swings back ... and things even out again. Sometimes though, they don't ... and things really go downhill from there.

Evaluating yourself

In Libra, the ambient energy asks you to examine the state of your important connections -- from business arrangements to your close friendships to your marriage or partnership to your exchanges with the general public.

The New Moon in Libra invites you to consider the partnerships you have, the partnerships you want and the partner that you are. The next four weeks will present you with numerous opportunities to do so.
