Cusp of a New Moon

Tomorrow is a new moon in Libra. Beginnings of new relationships. Excellent time to begin new habits. With all of the wild stuff going on with the financial meltdown, I thought I would take a look at the New Moon Chart in conjunction with the US natal chart. I found a couple of things very interesting:




The New Moon is just a few degrees from the US Ascendant & Saturn. These new beginings are going to be significant and have 'work, duty & responsibility' written all over them. I do believe the financial bail-out plan will be announced and it will bring people together to work towards resolving this major issue for the US and the world. Saturn is the karmic task-master, so there will be hard lessons to learn, and no easy out - but hard work. But if we work to resolve the underlying issues that caused this financial meltdown, we can be successful.

There are good indicators that this plan beginning on the new moon will be successful - the US's North Node (indicating it's destiny) is sextile (positively aspected) this Sun/Moon conjunction - all in Cardnal or initiating signs. This indicates there is a need to join with others to accomplish a goal. Teamwork. Easy and natural adjustments made by a group, family or association to changed circumstances. Issues of group leadership are handled without major crises or bad feelings. All positive things when you think of how partisan politics could result in failure for us all.

Let's all light a candle and send our best wishes that a wise and fair solution to this financial mess is found, and we learn from our past mistakes and don't repeat them.

BTW - here is an interesting article about 'cusps'...
