Someone posted an update on Facebook
that said “Did you ever wish you could draw a picture of your ideal
mate and that is what you would get?” I had to laugh because that's
exactly what I had planned to talk about this morning.
Let me back up a bit and fill in some of the back story here. Remember Saturn in Libra? If you don't, Saturn traversed Libra from 2009 through 2012. If you slept through it, Cafe Astrology has a nice efficient review here:
Ok, perhaps not about drawing a
picture. More like conjuring a picture in your mind and then writing
the description of what you see down on paper as you set your
intention for the New Moon in Libra on October 4th.

The entire pass (when isolated to sign
only and not involving personal planets or house position) boils down
to this: “Taking a more serious look at our one-to-one
relationships” also taken from the above link.
Now, this can mean your one-to-one
romantic relationships, the relationship with yourself, the
relationship with your enemies, bosses, money, ANYTHING. Hopefully
you were paying attention during this time and took the initiative to
define what you want all these relationships to be about. Hopefully
you learned a thing or two. And, hopefully you set some sturdy
boundaries in the realm of relationships. That was kind of the goal
of the whole mess.
I find it interesting that both Lunar
events (New and Full Moons) this year occur at degrees that are very,
very close to Saturn stations from the time Saturn was in Libra. Just
when you thought it was over... What this means to me is it is a
valuable chance to employ some of the lessons that we have learned.
For the purposes of this write up on the New Moon, in particular, I
want to focus on setting intentions.
New Moon in Libra is an opportunity for
a fresh start in relationships. A blank page, if you will. So, why
not fill that blank page with a description of exactly what you want
from a relationship. I actually did the very late days of Saturn in
Virgo. Virgo LOVES lists! But, it also falls across most of my 7th
house and encompasses my Venus. So, it made perfect sense for me at
the time. Funny thing is..it freaking worked!
You can call this magic if you want.
I'm all for fairy dust and unicorns. But, if you prefer a more
logical approach to the situation, when you consciously set down a
definition for something that you want and mean it, your
sub-conscious starts doing things to follow that direction.
Don't think for a minute that setting
your mind on what you want in a relationship means that it is all
going to fall in place without any effort on your part. Relationships
are and always will be a work of art , compromise, acceptance, etc.
Always. But, you've got to start somewhere! I think setting a long
time goal and deciding what type of partner you want is an excellent
place to begin.
Again, this doesn't have to be about a
romantic partner. It can be ANY type of relationship. You just need
to define what you want and then not be afraid to ask for it and
expect it.
To begin, take ALL the negative thought
and experience from your past—the jadedness, the liar, the cheater,
the abusive one---and put it out of your mind for moment. Let it go.
There were lessons to be learned from it but we are focusing on the
future here.
Next, dream. If you could paint or draw
a picture of your perfect mate...what would he or she look like? What
types of values would this person hold? What types of things would
you have in common? Write all the positives down.
Then, decide what the relationship is
like with this dream person. What do you do together? What type of
support do you give one another? What are the key points you are
looking for? Honesty? Support? Great sex? Write it all down.
Now. This does not mean that Mr. or
Miss Right is going to walk through your door at any given moment. It
doesn't mean that you are going to run out and meet someone that fits
this bill 100%. But, what it does mean is that you will be geared to
draw people of this description into your life and by listing the
qualities that are important to you, you will be more apt and aware
of displaying them yourself.
Another true story: Be careful what you
wish for. Keep it simple. I'd not be casting any love spells over
anyone or messing with someone else's free will. NOT a good idea.
This is for you. And, be as specific as you can. Know this doesn't
mean you won't have to compromise some. Compromise is relationship is
Libra is Venus is part of life. I'm sure you aren't perfect either.
I usually light a candle once I've
written and set my intention. I use a small white tea candle to seal
the deal because I don't like to blow it out, have a short attention
span, and tea candles burn fairly quickly. You can use any type of
ritual you are comfortable with in order to “make it real” for
you.
Tuck those intentions back somewhere
safe and pull them out somewhere down the road and evaluate where you
are. Is there anything you would tweak about your list? That's ok
too. It's a learning process, for sure. An evolution if you will.
And, that is my advice for intention setting at this upcoming New
Moon.
P.S. Don't forget Uranus is involved in
this! Be inventive!
