Libra Moon ~ 10-12 June 2019

The Moon travels into balanced and peaceful Libra and the 11th house of friendship, society, and our dreams at 5:29 PM PDT on 10 June 2019 until it enters Scorpio at 9:03 PM PDT on the 12th. If experiencing stress over the next few days, step aside the chaos and retreat to peaceful surroundings. Friends and/or family may play a positive or negative role, however, that’s largely determined by our perception. The chart is below:

Aspects

Libra is a lovely sign, but it can also become complicated when we expect others to stay in balance when they’re simply unprepared to do so. A trine with Venus (Orb 2°22′ Applying) reinforces our ability to strive for harmony and balance in our relationships as well as surround ourselves with beauty. However, an opposition with Chiron (Orb 5°36′ Applying) acknowledges emotional pain within, possibly from a relationship with a mother figure in our lives, and suggests we may be affected by emotional triggers for the next few days.

A quick look at the Human Design lunar transits has Gate 46 Pushing Upward Line 2 Prima Donna active on the 10th suggesting success but possibly at the expense of others. Gate 48 The Well Line 5 Action comprise the Moon’s influence on the 11th as insecurities may arise preventing us from moving forward on a project.

Magickal Workings

Some mugwort might be nice to burn as a smudge or on a piece of ritual charcoal during Monday magicks particularly if the witch needs information via an astral source. Mixed with some copal, mugwort purifies the witch and transcends consciousness, placing our focus in the astral plane. Both moonstone and selenite may be used for intuition and energetic support.

Leaving dreamy Monday behind, a witch can make use of catalytic Mars to initiate any number of influences. Magickal workings involving justice may be worked if the effects of Azubene are suppressed. The 16th Mansion of the Moon, also known as the horns of Scorpio, begins at 12°Lib51’26” and is filled with obstructive energy. A Mars seal can be used to offset its influence or if a witch were so inclined, the Olympic Spirit Phaleg (governed by Mars) may be summoned to provide a standard of excellence to follow. Be sure to remember the license to depart, however, when working with any Spirit-based entity. If breaking through another’s influence, the rune Thurisaz may be of assistance. Jasper, amethyst, and bloodstone will be useful as well.

Final Thoughts

I’m drawn to the idea that we may be bested by the mundane over the next few days. It’s not that I find that impossible, but that it evokes the response, so what else is new! It typically happens when I am pulled in too many directions and I can’t seem to get anything accomplished.

If this happens during the Moon’s influence, allow yourself to flow in that dreamy energy, but if it happens on Tuesday, we may experience some control issues along the way. A Libran may attempt to balance disparate energy which is not necessarily the correct call. A better option may be to remain in the observer role, becoming the resting point of the scales, so to speak. We may feel compelled to balance the scales but in this case, stepping aside may prove to be the right choice.

Until next time…

Lunar Blessings!
