In seasons of acceleration and change, grounding becomes essential and this Libra New Moon arrives at a fascinating cosmic crossroads.
With no planets in Earth signs, the skies are inviting us to consciously create our own steadiness. Rather than relying on the natural grounding that Earth energy provides, we’re being asked to cultivate it from within. 🧘♀️
As astrologer Jennifer Racioppi beautifully shared in our New Moon forecast for the Inner Circle, “Grounding must be chosen, not assumed. In the absence of Earth, warmth becomes the soil.”
It’s a reminder to tend the practices that keep us rooted in calm and compassion, even as life feels fast and full. It’s all about gentle medicine right now…think steady rituals that build resilience through loving consistency, holding yourself with tenderness along the way.
The Libra New Moon forms a powerful T-square with Jupiter in Cancer and Chiron in Aries, creating what Jennifer describes as “a tension between diplomacy and emotional truth. Libra seeks justice. Jupiter amplifies feeling. Peacekeeping must yield to honesty.”
Sound familiar? This energetic theme was also highlighted over the last two weeks of the last lunar cycle. Whenever a cosmic emphasis happens like this, I always lean in and listen even more attentively…
The energy is calling us to speak with grace, to honor both honesty and kindness. As Jennifer says, “How do we stay true to ourselves? By riding the waves of big emotions, saying what needs to be said, and doing it with warmth and generosity.”
The heart of this New Moon is a longing for honesty without cruelty, truth without abandoning compassion, authenticity wrapped in care.
And this moment is also preparing us for what’s ahead. Around November 4, just before the Taurus Full Moon, Mars will oppose Uranus, an alignment that can bring surprises, volatility, and quick shifts. Knowing this, Jennifer gently encourages us to “practice the pause… to notice when we’re triggered or feel urgency to respond, and choose alignment over reaction.”
This is why grounding now matters so much. 🌿It’s VERY hard to pause when we are caught up in the flurry of our thoughts and emotions, or too distracted to remember to find our center.
Each small act of care prepares our nervous systems for change. Each moment of presence creates a foundation of calm that steadies everything else.
Your Libra New Moon Ritual Guide 🌙
Our Guiding Inner Circle Astrologers always take the themes and energetic signatures of the lunar cycle and suggest “embodiment practices” that can help us harness the opportunity of the moment (and also avoid the potential pitfalls). Here’s some of the practices Jennifer suggested for our members for now until the Full Moon:
1️⃣ Create warmth rituals: Wrap yourself in comfort. Jennifer suggests “warm socks, blankets, or sunshine. Try saunas, steams, or hot baths. Sip tea.” Let warmth become your grounding.
2️⃣ Nourish your body with care: “Hot soups, stews, porridges, and warming spices like ginger” can help bring you home to your body. Jennifer reminds us that “the more we come into our bodies, the more grounded we get.” Your body is your sacred home, nourish it with love.
3️⃣ Embrace creativity with joy: “With Neptune in Pisces and Mercury in its retrograde shadow, the unconscious calls us forward,” Jennifer notes. Dance, doodle, dress up, play. Let creativity open the flow of life again.
4️⃣ Be patient with yourself: “More will be revealed,” Jennifer says. Trust the process. Let uncertainty be a teacher rather than something to fix.
The absence of Earth in the sky isn’t a lack, it’s an invitation to remember that stability begins inside us.
This Libra New Moon invites us to return to warmth within, to nurture the rituals that root us, and to trust that small, consistent acts of love can create profound transformation over time.
With love,
Amanda
