<\/dt>\nIn its new phase, the Moon does not reflect solar radiation in our direction. It is the only time when Luna gets to be itself for us. Not the reflection of a star, but a distinct object with an important, often unappreciated, role in the order of things.<\/p>\n
The Moon stabilizes Earth’s rotation, sustaining conditions that support life. In addition, lunar gravity combines with that of the Sun to create a tidal pulse that circulates and exchanges the stuff of life, connecting all earthlings as one interdependent entity. Its function in support of life, not the cold light by which we see it, is Luna being itself. Yet, many ignore or take for granted what truly distinguishes the Moon, and identify it by what is not its own. The same is probably true for you.<\/p>\n
You are likely identified by what is not your own. In the big picture, it is not a situation you made, so give yourself a break on that count. The vast portion of humanity has long been coerced to follow protocols created by few, to benefit few. On the day-to-day and in the moment-to-moment, however, your doing contributes one way or another.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If your work only enriches others, or if you are known only as you reflect the light of some star, it is probable that you identify with, and are identified by, what is not you. That is no way to spend all of your human being. With the Libra New Moon, the Cosmos will be asking you to bring balance and be yourself by doing something different, as unlikely as it may seem.<\/p>\n
On the night of the Libra New Moon, at its darkest hour, the Cosmos will be doing something very unlikely. In the eastern sky just before dawn, marked by the position of Venus, there will be a smear of faint light rising from the horizon. That light will be dust, the same of which you are made, reflecting the light of the Sun. Called the zodiacal light, the illuminated dust is what remains of the nebula from which the solar system formed. It is the pathway of the planets. Only twice a year are we in the position to see it, and this year, the Moon is being itself at just the right time so we can.<\/p>\n
You can do the same thing. By being yourself, especially at your darkest hour, you can make an important contribution. You can demonstrate your true value and your real place in the order of things. You can be and distinguish yourself in the most unlikely way, by turning away from the means by which you have been conditioned to do so. By sending what is not yours back to where it came from, you can help all of us see where we all came from. Of course, that is a terrifying prospect for the powerful few.<\/p>\n
The powerful few you can know by their fear. It is a fear more obvious and desperate with each passing day. It is the anxiety of a wealthy man who threatens to fire those who have enriched him if election results do not please him. It is the foolishness of bullies who prefer greater risk of exposure to tolerance. It is the terror of those who think the last word will keep them in first place. It is those who fear simply being whom you will have to deal with long after the Libra New Moon. On Monday, the Cosmos can get you started, but the zodiacal light will soon fade. Unlikely as it may seem, the Universe will be depending on you to take up where it left off by being yourself.<\/p>\n
