Libra New Moon Eclipse
Southern Hemisphere
About this Newsletter:
All of the symbols in this newsletter refer to the moment of the New Moon.
Twelve hours earlier or later and most of these symbols will change.
Each symbol reveals something relevant to the meaning of the moment.
The moon phase and pattern type will have a longer span of influence,
but their effects will still be profound for that day.
This is a beautiful example of the scope and depth of astrological insights.
The effects of the moment of the new moon will be expressed across the entire month ahead.
The new moon represents the seed moment of the month.
If you can tune into or capture the implications of the seed moment,
You will be powerfully aligned with for the entire month ahead.
Most of these symbols have great depth with significant personal implications.
Tuning into them will allow you to master the month.
These symbols come from a degree of the zodiac and a line of the I Ching hexagrams.
There are 360 different sets of symbols.
In the newsletter the symbols apply to the meaning of the New Moon and the degree it is in.
A similar compilation of symbols can be done for the position of each planet or sensitive point in a horoscope.
There are 360 degrees in the university of life.
The New Moon
When your feelings about the past, memories, and your sense of security
conjunct or meet up with
Your confidence, purposefulness, and your hopes for the future
A profound impression is made.
A note on the harp of the soul.
A seed moment in celestial manifestation.
The Horoscope for the New Moon is for the exact moment of the New Moon.
There are no houses in this chart because the Moon is in all 12 houses at the same time when viewed globally. So this is the true New Moon chart for anywhere on earth. You can add the houses to it according to where you live.
Most computer printouts will draw the horoscope with the houses as appropriate for where you are on the planet. This was not done here in order to focus on things valid for everyone on the planet.
New Moons are the peak points of subjective impressionability in the month.
Receptivity to core insights and to God, are accentuated.
Chanting (or even drumming) on a New Moon will give an extra vitality to your efforts over the following month,
until the next New Moon.
A holy environment and spiritual companions are a great blessing.
The New Moon accumulates and reflects on all of the experiences of the past month. On the New Moon the conglomerate of experiences past, creates a high tide of intuitive impressions. At the moment the Moon meets the Sun, light is shone on these impressions creating a new sense of purpose. It is the Sun than effects the Moon.
From our worldly consciousness we cannot see the combination or aggregate of memories, but we can certainly feel it.
Unfortunately our habit patterns are too gross or physical to allow us to attune to this phenomenon consciously, but we certainly can feel it.
Only the initiate or one established in spiritual disciplines can clearly witness the New Moon within.
For all of the symbolism and associations given here for the new moon, there are also equivalent symbols and associations to each planet or factor in an individual horoscope.

Zodiac Pattern Types
THE BOWL TYPE:
All the planets on one side of a chart, within an opposition. One half to almost two thirds of the chart is empty.
The Bowl Type has a deep sense of being separated from one half of existence. Half seems to be with you and the other half not. Because this pattern is based on the opposition there is an inherent awareness of duality. You will embrace your concerns strongly. You will also be powerfully aware of what does not concern you. You clearly see who you are, and who you are not! You tend to champion causes and will usually go out of your way to give to others on one level or another. Your sensitivity to duality will find you questioning the purpose of existence.
WANING CRESCENT MOON PHASE
45° – 0°, 3 1/2 to 0 days before the New Moon.
This is the last phase of the lunar cycle before the new moon. It is often called the balsamic moon phase and it lasts for three and one half days from the crescent to the new moon. The light finally disappears into the mystery of silence and darkness. Completion becomes important. Your own projections seem to disappear in the vastness of all that is happening around you.
You are searching for something new but are unsure of how to end the old attachments. Your awareness of others begins to lose relevance as you approach renewal. Try to understand what needs to be left behind. This should be a daily meditation. You have the uncanny ability to know when anything is ending or about to fall apart. Unfortunately it is not usually wise to tell others about it. They would probably consider you to be too negative. You need to learn why things come to an end. It is important for you to mind your own business or you will keep seeing everything that is going to collapse on everyone. Learn to look within for the new vision. Trust silence. Take steps to move towards your vision. Be very selective. Listen and wait.
Often people will not appreciate you until you have gone. Try to insure that your influence is a positive one. Watch what you say. Often you will seem overwhelmed by useless or futile commitments. Do not try to save face. Be honest and let go.
The quality of ending will directly effect the nature of the new beginning just about to come. So be wise. No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. It may not make sense to others but if you trust your conscience, you will see the way. Hold on to your principles. Do not make promises that you cannot keep, especially long term promises.
You have the tendency to lose yourself in others only to be left very insecure when they do not have the answers. You want to become completely involved with someone. You will constantly search for or wonder about the ultimate love of your life. Often you will feel that what you have is not enough, and then you will wonder why you bother to stay within it.
You are looking for completion and fulfillment and are not likely to embrace freedom comfortably. You want to burn your past for future goals. It is amazing though how long you can procrastinate and wait. You want to help but often do not know what to do. You will probably not bother until somebody else cares.
A little encouragement can have profound effects. To attract positive feedback you must be positive towards others. If you must end a situation, it is important for the reason to be correct, otherwise your problems will reoccur in the new arena.
THE WAXING NEW MOON PHASE
O°- 45°, 0 to 3 1/2 days after the New Moon.
This is the beginning of the lunar cycle and lasts for three and one half days. The light is emerging gently. From the depths of the darkest moment up to the first slim crescent of light, and a little farther until the crescent is smiling brightly.
This is a highly intuitive time filled with deep impressions and new beginnings. This is a time of seed moments and powerful insights. There is a predominant undercurrent of anxious anticipation. A new moon cycle is born.
Born under this phase you need to feel that your life is just beginning to open up. The challenge is subjective: are you prepared to advance your own cause? You should readily adjust your lifestyle to support any new sense of direction that you feel is emerging within you. You will be constantly having to make new starts in life. You will be sensitive to new beginnings and uncertain about your present surroundings. You are inclined to leave old attachments and memories behind. You want to move forward towards your goals and will be frustrated by any setbacks.
When you begin a project it is important to advance with care and gentleness. Make sure that you nurture and protect the germinating seed; ie. the new you. It is usually easier for you to do things than to talk about them. Remember that you do not have to achieve everything right away, but it is important for you to feel that you are advancing toward your goals.
You are the kind of person who plants ideas in the minds of others. You will reach out and impress others subtly. You will always be able to sense the new path that should be taken. As long as you are moving along this path you will feel relatively secure. Worries and problems will surface when you crystallize or stop growing. Do not look back or hold on to the past. Nurture the light within. Protect your own development and do not throw your good ideas out to fools who will not appreciate them. Neither should you follow the dreams of others. Trust your own inner sense of direction. Whenever you can make the effort to be creative, you should. Do not try to explain the process, just do it! Consistent effort will accumulate. Reach out. Rely on your instincts. Grow. Break out of old patterns. Move on. Move on. New beginnings always seem small against the vastness of life around you, none-the-less every journey starts with one small step. Try to find friends who will support and acknowledge your efforts. Always be cautious about what you say. Words can come back to haunt you.
You will always be trying to start something. Make certain that you take time to water the flowers and plants in your garden of hopes and dreams. The end does not always justify the means so make your daily life creative. Take time to smell the flowers along your path. You will be able to draw encouragement and inspiration by listening to birds singing.

KEYNOTE: = “I balance” (I harmonize)

Some Libra Considerations:
Libra is a Cardinal sign. Cardinal signs are assertive.
Libras push to be appreciated and especially to be listened to.
They want their ideas to be relevant. They are driven by
encouragement and relevance in the eyes of others.
They like to share and can talk too much.
Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of values and choices, of attraction and repulsion, of beauty and ugliness, and of love and hate.
When negative Libra can be driven by envy or vanity.
They need to develop worthy values so that they have something significant to share. There is a tendency to trivialize.
If one can’t get what or who one wants, one is inclined to take the next best choice. There is a need to cultivate proper selectiveness and self worth. Sometimes one must do without and wait for what one really wants. One needs to avoid choices of degenerating quality and escalating repercussions.
This is the beginning of Fall or the light half of Autumn.
Darkness is increasing and with it involvement and responsibilities increase. Darkness is now also greater than daylight.
The concerns of others predominate and determine priorities.
This is the trigram of Keeping Still, Mountain.
One can easily be pulled into other people’s concerns
And get nothing accomplished for oneself. Talk is cheap!
One needs to learn to wait and listen for appropriate relevance and true value before speaking or acting.
There is a tendency to do nothing unless someone else is interested or cares. Keeping still works in two ways.
Either it puts one to sleep, or it wakes one up in deep meditation.
Meditation is the cultivation of the experience of silence.
In Libra the Eightfold Path is Right Effort.
1. One needs to use their will energetically to prevent unwholesome states of mind from arising.
2. One needs to get rid of unwholesome states of mind that have already arisen.
3. One needs to produce and cause to rise good and wholesome states of mind not yet risen.
4. One needs to develop and bring to perfection the good and wholesome states of mind already present.
Pentans
Pentans are five degree divisions of the Zodiac in which the zodiac repeats itself creating a sub-level of meaning. Sub-pentans divide each 10 degrees of the zodiac into 12 sub-sub-signs adding a third level of meaning. The Zodiac sign is the Main Theme, The Pentan is the Special Focus and the Sub-Pentan is the Intimate Detail.

Zodiac Faces
Today we see
the Face of Impatience
Aries: Your impatience will disturb protocol. It is one thing to be enthusiastic and quite another to be rowdy or gross! If you are smart you will maintain some cultural standards even in your one-to-one relationships.
Taurus: You will run into an atmosphere of restlessness and impatience. There will be a tendency for you and others to be overly fussy. Take care of the little details and don’t procrastinate.
Gemini: There will be wolves snapping at your heels today. This will keep you hopping. If anything manages to slow you down or interfere with progress, then you will become exceedingly restless. If you show your impatience, it will only make matters worse.
Cancer: Impatience will cause embarrassment. Avoid making demands on others. In your search for satisfaction the end will not justify the means. Share what you have even if you are inconvenienced by it. Let people finish their sentences before you speak.
Leo: You will make smooth moves when the world around you will be restless and reckless. Teamwork and camaraderie will be highlighted. Do not let impatience take hold. Make sure everyone in included!
Virgo: You will be impatient with the opinions of others. If you respond out of pride, then humiliation will be yours. Follow your own instincts. Be physical and avoid arguments.
Libra: You will have several options to choose from today. Any indecision on your part will increase the impatience of others. Basically you need to be decisive and keep active. If you snooze you will lose!
Scorpio: This will be a productive day. You simply need to be decisive and consistent when faced with the impatience of others. You will benefit because of someone’s restlessness.
Sagittarius: Do not cut into a line-up in front of other people who’ve been waiting patiently. Your assumption that what make things easier for you is good for everyone will draw criticism and increase resistance. The best things will happen when no one is disturbed.
Capricorn: The superficiality of others will test your patience today. You are inclined to disassociate and detach abruptly. You really need to rely on a sense of calm and style. Do not express your distaste for others. Be diplomatic.
Aquarius: Do not give your impatience a chance to grow. Take the initiative. Start the conversations. Move around obstacles or anyone in your way. Do not expect them to move because of your demands.
Pisces: You will be on edge today. Your impatience will become blatantly obvious, to your detriment. Don’t try to direct others or even make suggestions. If you do not set up any expectations, then you will not be brought down.

Golden Dawn–Rosicrucian Degrees Personal Study Guide
The Temple of Your Degrees
When you were born, the heavens did not speak in generalities.
They sealed each planet of your being at a precise degree —
a numbered gateway within the 360 chambers of the zodiacal temple.
In the Golden Dawn–Rosicrucian current, each degree is an initiation.
Not a metaphor.
A station of consciousness.
Your Sun degree is the altar of identity — the flame you are meant to tend.
Your Moon degree is the inner sanctuary — where feeling must be purified.
Your Mercury degree is the scroll of the mind — awaiting disciplined illumination.
Your Venus degree refines love from attachment into sacred value.
Your Mars degree tempers raw force into directed will.
Your Jupiter degree expands the horizon of lived wisdom.
Your Saturn degree stands as the gatekeeper of maturity and karmic authority.
Each one contains:
• A fault to be overcome
• A work to be consciously undertaken
• A struggle that forges character
• A symbolic vision that flashes when alignment is near
• A spiritual law active in that phase of your ascent
These degrees describe not what will happen to you —
but what is asking to awaken within you.
When you contemplate your own planetary degrees, something shifts.
Events that once felt arbitrary begin to reveal design.
Recurring lessons show their initiatory pattern.
Strengths reveal their sacred origin.
The birth chart becomes a mandala of ascent.
To know your degrees is to stand at the doorway of your own initiation — and to enter it willingly.
The path is already inscribed.
The question is whether you will walk it consciously.
