Failure Leads to Success
Tarot reading for the New Moon in Libra
If you woke up yesterday morning feeling the crackle of newness in the atmosphere, you’re not alone. The New Moon brings with it a sense of change, of starts and beginnings, of putting away that which does not serve to prioritize that which does.
And the new moon in Libra has a specific service-based focus: Harmony.
In the spirit of beginnings, here’s a tarot spread and reading to help you focus your efforts and move forward the month of October in a way that excites, challenges, and intrigues without burning out or leaving you feeling deflated.
What’s the theme of this new moon in Libra?
The theme of this month’s new moon is the 7 of Stones, which speaks of the potential for disharmony, something Libra works hard to avoid at all costs. In this case, the potential failure may be related to your physical person, something you’ve done with your hands, or something you want to be doing.
Redirecting your efforts (and you probably already sense redirection is necessary) may help avoid failure, and the redirection will provide you with a fresh start and a clean recovery.
How can we prepare for what the moon cycle will bring?
Preparation is key and something Libra struggles with. Libra comes with a big imagination, but handling key details to turn those dreams into reality is a bit of a challenge. The 9 of Cups says an emotional breakthrough is the best way to prepare for the challenges coming this month.
The 9 of Cups speaks of fortune, wealth, and generosity, may it can also indicate the tendency for stinginess or counting one’s losses before they’ve occurred. Keeping your emotions in check and focusing on the prosperity you already will keep you centered and avoid overwhelm.
What will we leave behind during this moon cycle?
The Mother of Stones exists in a labyrinth of her own thoughts, as Libra is wont to do. She is serene and self-confident, though she has difficulty staying still and appreciating life and may feel a loss of her personal center. The Mother of Stones is an independent person, one who prefers the sanctity of self above most else. When facing challenges, though, we must be brave enough to live externally, to step outside of our persons, to collaborative.
This moon cycle challenges us to leave behind the pernicious inner thoughts that we must go it alone, that personal success happens solely by the self. Given the new emotional preparations, it’s okay to remain in place for a bit, to appreciate the process, not simply look forward to what’s coming.
What will we call forward for this moon cycle?
Change is coming on the wind which will require us all to take hold of our lives, to grab onto our fates. We must take what life has given us, and though it may be difficult to adjust to the changes, though we may resist the changes, seizing the opportunities that come our ways means we get to set in motion a cycle of success, of furtune.
The Wheel of Fortune speaks of action, so we must call forward the right actions to match what we wish to achieve or accomplish this cycle. Because while Libra may have her head in the clouds, she must not forget to turn those dreams into reality by taking the right steps.
What is the first step we must take to embrace this cycle of change?
The Two of Swords asks us to embrace tranquility and opportunity for prosperity. Through the disruptions that will naturally occur as a result of leaving behind the Mother of Stones and calling forward the Wheel of Fortune, we must understand that our peace comes from within. We, alone, get to choose how we feel and think about our circumstances.
Libra is an air sign, one which asks us to become aware of our perceptions. And the Two of Swords asks us to focus that perception energy into positive and peaceful places, which will keep overwhelm at bay while you’re moving through the changes the moon cycle ushers in.
Are you coming into a challenging though energetic time, worried about upsets and setbacks? Are you refocusing your energy to bring peace into your day-to-day and take the right actions to achieve your dreams?
What does the new moon in Libra mean for you?
