Lunar Musings, Sept. 2019: Penetrating A Way Open

​Today's, New Moon in 6 Libra is in a degree Mark Borax and Ellias Lonsdale frame as the emergency call of our times. 
  
Following last week's youth-initiated climate protest, more and more people in mainstream US America are feeling the surge of revolution.   The national psychic space is filled with the recognition that straight-talking young people have often been the source of historic change.   
This degree calls for radical change, and it asks us to maintain deep roots in the timeless ways.

The world stage shows us many faces of our own nature.  How we engage with it for the greater good, can help us see more clearly where we get entangled in our own folly and new ways to overcome it. True to Libra, we can only advance as far as relational dynamics can allow.  Meeting limitation in those around you can feel like a death trap.  How we learn to distinguish between relationships that serve the greater good and ones we can simply walk away from is a high art. It takes a warrior awareness combined with a lover's heart. If we can make our way through relationship by showing up more fully and incarnating our own nature more deeply in the process, we unify ourselves with existence in a whole new way.

To evolve the relational part of us, we must seize the revolutionary moment now by letting go of preconceived positions, ideas and pictures of what we are living into and make room for an entirely new, co-created understanding. Navigating this collective evolutionary crisis requires us to be both conservative and radical, to uphold whatever works, distinguish wisdom from folly and allow the living future to shape us in dynamic sustainable ways.

And, this New Moon sets up the rite of passage for Venus-- now the evening star-- as she passes through Gate 1 on the journey up from the underworld.  Since the overtone of this Venus cycle is in the sign of Libra,  I am rooting' for all of us to find ways to carve out channels that support our deepest truth to shine through the dark distortions of these times.  Venus is ushering us into a new archetype of the feminine, one that unifies the warrior and lover within, and guides us into deeper fluidity as we open to something new.
