the art of shadows: a new moon in libra

I have had Eclipses in my life that have ultimately changed my life, set me on a new path and also caused tremendous and uncomfortable upheaval in my life.

I love astrology because it is trackable, it’s data. Data that sometimes feels magical. Which means at times we may often be able to track major life events to Astrological transits and see how they correlate.

I urge you to view Eclipses as shifts. Sometimes dramatic, sometimes uneventful. They are tied to the nodes after all, and what are the moons nodes but suggestions about the best direction on our path. What is a shadow but a strange refection of reality. 

Sun and Moon conjunct at 21° Libra on Saturday, October 14 2023, around 11:13 AM.  Mercury sits at 17° Libra and the ruler of this New Moon is Venus. 

Venus asks us to be discerning, Libra wants us to evaluate where we have been fair or unfair as well as our relations with others. With the South Node in Libra we may be over taxed in those areas, as well as compromise or passive aggressiveness. 

Eclipses often will show us what is not working in our lives, highlighting the shadows of that which has been previously over looked or ignored.

Venus is currently sitting at 5° Virgo and opposing Saturn at 0 ° Pisces and sextiling Mars 1° who recently entered Scorpio while Mars trines Saturn.

This aspect feels oriented towards taking responsibility for our health, finances, habits and ways we apply ourselves in our lives, potentially challenging how we view ourselves as well as our self esteem. 

With Mars finally back in one of their home signs action is a key word. We are less likely to be sitting around feeling the weight of Saturn and more likely to be taking responsibility to make necessary changes in our lives. 

Pluto in Capricorn 27 is making a wide orb square to the Sun as well as both the north and the South Node.

Where is our ambition standing in the way of the needs we have for ourselves as well as others?

Hi I’m Kenna i’m an astrologer. I play the harp, have an interest in sound therapies, writing and poetry. As well as visual arts, in the past that has fallen under painting, currently I’ve been exploring symbolism with astrology sometimes into photography and videography.Im passionate about using astrology as a tool for deeper understanding and conscious self transformation. Astrology is deep and drenched in symbolism, my goal is to make understanding that symbolism fun and applicable to your own life by making the big questions palatable and giving you the tools to simplify.

Feel free to reach out with questions, or even just say “Hi” 🙂
