Timing: The Moon occupies the sign of Libra from Thursday the 17th at 7:55pm UTC till Saturday the 19th at 7:32pm UTC.
Moon in Libra: Place of Sectmate. The Moon finds moderate support from Venus. Libra Moons are excellent periods for meetings, discussions, research, and conversations that require diplomacy and tact. Conversation, dialogue, and anything which involves the meeting of the minds - especially in the one -on-one context - will be greatly supported during this period.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Moveable Air. Movability (cardinality) indicates short and quick bursts of activity that are cut short and not seen through as often. The moon and our own moods, activities, and attention spans tend to flit from one thing to the next. The air element promotes mental stimulation and any activities which involve communication and language, and air moon tend to be very chatty and conversational, prefer discussion and the medium of language to anything else.
Moon’s ruler: The Moon forms a sextile to her ruler, Venus, in Leo. The sextile provides the moon with support from her ruler , and so the work done and things accomplished during this time will be much more likely to have longer-lasting results. Moods and emotions will be more likely to remain uplifted. The nature of the sextile with Venus in the dominant position indicates moderate potential for productive conversation and dialogue, and interpersonal dynamics should in general flow more smoothly.
Aspects
Conjunction to Mercury. Very strong potential for aid in communication and the use of language. Your thoughts and ideas will be clearer to you, and using your voice will be easier. Expressing yourself to others will feel more natural and straightforward.
Opposition to Mars in Aries. Strong propensity for emotional frustration. Anger with people and irritation at circumstances, as well as a strong desire to change and revolutionize the status quo. Dissatisfaction with current circumstances.
Superior Movable Square to Jupiter in Capricorn. This brings great support from teachers and authority figures, but not necessarily in an easy way. You may be asked to take a hard look at your own approach to life, though you will be greatly rewarded if you do so.
Superior Movable Square to Saturn in Capricorn. Strong potential for self-doubt and shame cycles to come into play. Dissatisfaction, discomfort, and world-weariness have a potential to take over during this time.
Summary: As with last month, there are a good portion of obstacles coming up this period from the malefics, though in this case the conjunction from Mercury and sextile from Venus should help to smooth things over. Interpersonal dynamics, especially those of the one-on-one variety, have the potential to work through difficulties and awkwardness to reach something better. This is a good time to have difficult conversations with people that you wouldn’t naturally engage in: the malefics will make those things come up, but venus and Mercury will ensure that communication is smooth and effective. You may leave closer friends with everything that you are willing to experience this discomfort with.
