You probably know that the New Moon, darkest phase of the planet, marks the beginning of a cycle that lasts 28 days. This cycle is divided into 4 phases, each of which lasts 7 days or 1 week.

Here is a reading that takes the phases of the moon so that you can accompany the project of your choice with more awareness on the inside work necessary for the good realization of the said project.

Take your favorite Tarot or Oracle (or both at the same time), mix your cards and take 5 of them blindly. Place them according to the example in the photo below.
Here are the meanings of each position:
1. you, who are at the centre of the project
2. New Moon = ce que vous devez semer pour faire naître le projet
3. First Quarter (growing moon) = how do you water/feed your project to stimulate its growth and development
4. Full Moon = the best results you can expect
5. Last Quarter (waning moon)  = the steps to be taken to complete the implementation of the project, but also the suggestion of other possibilities for its follow-up

This reading sets the tone for the 28-day lunation period and for a given project. You can redo this reading at each New Moon either to continue the initial project or to start another one. I invite you, for each lunation, to concentrate on only one project, the one which, at the moment, seems to you to be a priority. Inevitably and because you are at the center of your life, the reading for a given project will also make you shine in all other areas.

Good reading

Before opening a new door, we must first close the door through which we leave. Between these two thresholds, it is necessary to accept to be alone in front of oneself in order to clearly determine, without false pretense, the reality that animates us and the truth that we wish to live on from now.
Being between the two doors is what we have been experiencing for several months and even more strongly what we have been experiencing throughout the previous lunation. With the energy of action on stand-by, did we take the opportunity to choose just as much as to rest and recharge our batteries so that we were ready to open the next door?

The New Moon in Libra announces the resumption in direct march of the planets until then retrograde. A new active dynamic is emerging on the horizon and will gradually take shape by the next Full Moon on 20th October. It’s the calm before the storm...
If we are obviously all affected by the influence of the planets, it is the four signs composing the cardinal cross that will be most concerned: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. The cardinal cross is linked to the will and the energy of action, this famous action that was paused throughout September. But despite this, the Fire element is still absent from this New Moon, it means that if the desire to act is indeed there, we still lack the means to act.
Translation: a situation/relationship is being brought to light, thus revealing to us the need to evolve it differently, to review a link, to redefine it differently or to express oneself differently within this situation/relationship, to get more actively involved, to stop accepting certain things passively, to review certain rules/beliefs that had been taken for granted.
All areas can be affected, both emotional and socio-professional. I remind you that all the zodiac signs act in our birth chart. Therefore, by updating in which houses the cardinal cross acts in your chart, you will have an indication of the areas that will be most concerned.
Mercury adds a layer since its retrogradation on 27th September: communication can be blocked, answers can be delayed, projects can be postponed. The situation will probably emerge from 18th October, when the planet of trade and communication resumes its direct course.
Pour tous, que nous soyons conscients ou non conscients des enjeux, c’est bel et bien une charge karmique qui revient comme le ferait un boomerang et qui nous offre la possibilité de rompre définitivement avec un schéma répétitif auquel nous nous étions très probablement identifiés. Profitons donc de cette Nouvelle Lune en Balance pour tenter d’établir ou de rétablir le fragile équilibre qui sous-tend les relations entre les êtres. Entre nous et notre intériorité tout d’abord, pour redécouvrir notre capacité de discernement et cesser de suivre aveuglément les discours des uns et des autres. Entre nous et les autres ensuite, pour concrétiser de nouvelles alliances relationnelles basées sur la sérénité, le respect et l’autonomie de chacun. C’est maintenant que nous choisissons les êtres qui nous ressemblent et composent ensemble notre tribu.

La société humaine est en pleine mutation et le fossé se creuse et s’élargit entre ceux qui veulent conserver les anciens acquis, modes de fonctionnement et croyances et ceux qui aspirent à créer un monde plus équitable où chacun aurait la liberté de vivre dignement, quelle que soit sa vision de la réalité. La Nouvelle Lune du 6 octobre, c’est le calme avant la tempête… une tempête qui va peu à peu s’activer et enfler. Poursuivons donc le but que nous nous sommes fixé afin d’atteindre notre objectif sans craindre les sacrifices inéluctables qu’il faudra faire. Quelque chose d’important naîtra bientôt, ayons foi en nous, en notre capacité de nous protéger et de nous réaliser dans notre vérité.
