Moon in Libra;
Moving into the twinkling scales of Libra, the Moon’s waters distribute themselves evenly, producing a delicate lake decorated with lily pads and colourful fish. Things feel a bit familiar here, for the Moon in Libra recognizes Venus’ graceful concern for aesthetics, peace, harmony and beauty. In Taurus, Venus worked to manifest these energies in the physical world. In Libra, these concepts manifest in the mental realm and are projected onto airy things, unseen and intangible, such as relationships, thoughts and alliances.
The Libra Moon individual is blessed with the ability to soothe conflicts and disagreements. Spreading their airy waters out to reach everyone involved, they’re able to understand all sides of an argument and think of solutions that will please all parts. They dislike engaging in disharmonious arguments, but they will do so in order to reinstall peace using their cardinal air drive, as working towards harmony is an emotional need for Libra Moons. They also hardly ever take sides and rather prefer to comprehend the entirety of a conflict from an impersonal point of view, which is why Libra Moon individuals can be seen as hesitant and unsure, especially if energy’s unbalanced.
Those with the Moon in Libra also feel like they depend emotionally on a special partner. They tend to need someone to encourage them to do what they want to do, otherwise they will not feel as motivated and might find it difficult to move forward in a certain direction they’d like to take. “Others” may be regarded as an infinite source of the inspiration and emotional security that motivate Libra Moons to give the best of them, and this is because their emotional realm is built upon the profound respect they have for some important pillars in their lives. They also care deeply for their partner’s emotional well-being and are often thinking of what their partner is going through in their own lives and how they can help their partner.
Libra Moon people build balanced relationships where they can feel they’re not at risk. The Libra Moon lake is windy with swift thoughts involving their partner and the status and nature of the relationship, but the water itself must have little disturbances and must feel accommodated in its vessel, with no extreme danger of overflows and floods in the relationship.
The home of a Libra Moon is the physical manifestation of the individual’s beautiful and graceful soul, probably presenting itself as carefully decorated and refined with little details with aesthetic purposes. There may be some emphasis on art pieces, and the home will inspire in others feelings of harmony and tranquility as soon as they step inside. Those with their Moon in Libra had a stable home blessed with peace; as children, they were taught the value of being disciplined, polite, sociable, fair and gentle, and not necessarily were as emotionally nurtured as they would like to have been, for the attention was all drawn to the child’s image and education. It was extremely important to appear impersonal and to never take advantage of people, producing a need for balance and justice in all aspects of life.
The Libra Moon lake shines with beautiful reflections of the individual’s most important partners. Faces of friends, family and lovers appear glittering on the dancing surface of the watery mirror, maybe to the point in which the individual becomes blind to their own reflection. Talents and qualities may be eclipsed by those of others, promoting feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. Libra Moons have so much respect and admiration for other people’s traits that, when the energy is unbalanced, they may want to exchange their own emotional identity with those of others. It is extremely important for those with the Moon in Libra to remember their own value and to wear Libra’s crown and wield Libra’s sword, sticking to their own principles. They should not be afraid to stick to their belifs and to be assertive. Justice, after all, is categorical. Beauty is power.
