Planting Seeds in the Slow Lane: Navigating the New Moon in Libra & The Retrograde Shadow

"The quieter you become, the more you can hear." 

— Ram Dass

Introduction: A Rare Cosmic Convergence of Light and Pause

The stars have delivered a potent triple-header today, October 21, 2025. We are experiencing the simultaneous arrival of three major, converging energies:

1. The New Moon in Libra: Peaked this morning, its fresh, balancing energies will last for the next 72 hours.

2. The Festival of Diwali (Kartika Amavasya): A beautiful celebration of the New Moon, focusing on light, wealth, and spiritual awakening.

3. The Mercury Retrograde Pre-Shadow: Officially begins today, casting its reflective influence as we head toward the full retrograde.

The universe is giving us a clear message: The time for dreaming is here, but the time for action is one of intentional review and refinement. This is a profound moment to light your inner lamps, honor your abundance, and prepare the ground with wisdom.

Part 1: The New Moon in Libra and the Light of Diwali

The New Moon marks the beginning of a fresh lunar cycle. In the graceful sign of Libra—the scales of justice—the focus is squarely on balance, harmony, and relationship.

This year, the New Moon falls on Diwali (Kartika Amavasya), the most sacred New Moon of the year. The traditional lighting of lamps (diyas) symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.

Here is how to set intentions aligned with this dual energy:

• Financial & Spiritual Abundance: Diwali is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity. Use this New Moon window to set clear, powerful intentions around attracting financial flow and spiritual wealth.

• Harmony in Relationships: Libra energy asks: Where is the balance between giving and receiving? Diwali’s theme of homecoming and unity reinforces the need to heal, forgive, and establish deep, respectful relationships.

• Inner Illumination: The New Moon is a moment of darkness, symbolizing the internal work required before the light returns. Use the next 72 hours to light your inner lamps: to gain clarity, release old resentments, and see your own worth.

The New Moon in Libra / Diwali gives you the vision—the clarity of the abundant, harmonious life you want to manifest.

Part 2: The Mercury Retrograde Shadow (The How to Proceed)

Just as we are asked to celebrate and set bright intentions with Diwali, Mercury's pre-retrograde Shadow (or Retroshade) arrives to ensure those intentions are built on solid, prepared ground. This is the period when the universe politely asks you to slow your pace.

• Review & Revisit: This is not the time to sign big contracts or initiate major purchases. Instead, review and refine any existing financial, relationship, or travel plans. Look at the balance of your budget. Examine the fine print.

• The Power of the Pause: You might be feeling a surge of tiredness or a need to retreat. Honor this. Rest is not a luxury right now; it is a strategic necessity. You are gathering energy and clarity that the retrograde period is trying to protect.

• Clean Up Communication: Mercury rules messages. Before you announce a big plan, use this time to proofread, double-check, and clarify any misunderstandings that surface.

The Mercury Retrograde Shadow provides the methodology for manifesting: it’s a call to be slow, intentional, and focused on reviewing and optimizing what you already have, ensuring your foundation is stable for the future.

Conclusion: Lighting the Path Forward with Wisdom

What a magnificent convergence of celestial and spiritual energy! You are simultaneously being asked to celebrate the light of your path (Diwali) and to walk it with cautious wisdom (Retroshade).

Honor your commitments, but honor your rest first. Light a lamp (real or symbolic) for abundance, clarify your intentions for a balanced life, and know that the work you do now in the slow lane will create exponential heights later.

Your most powerful action today is a personal one: Take a quiet moment now. Write down one intention for balance on a sticky note and place it somewhere you'll see it every day. This is the seed you plant under the light of Diwali.

Happy Diwali! And remember to rest and recalibrate to Manifest the Good Life, Why Not You?

Unlocking the October Supermoon Portal: A Five-Day Journey of Manifestation & Release

 "We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion-year-old carbon, 
and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden." 
— Joni Mitchell, Woodstock

The cosmos is aligning to offer us a profound energetic gateway this week as the October Full Moon, a magnificent Supermoon, illuminates our skies. From today, October 4th, through October 8th, we are immersed in what many spiritual traditions call a "Supermoon Portal"—a potent five-day window for amplified manifestation, deep reflection, and powerful release.

This isn't just any full moon; it's the Harvest Supermoon (also known as the Hunter's Moon), which peaks in the assertive, pioneering sign of Aries on Monday, October 6th. This Supermoon is closer to Earth than usual, intensifying its gravitational and energetic pull. Spiritually, this Aries energy translates to a heightened time for self-assertion, courageous new beginnings, and a powerful emotional and intuitive experience, making it an ideal time to connect with your deepest desires and shed what no longer serves your highest good.

Let's explore how to consciously navigate this powerful portal, day by day:

Day 1: Saturday, October 4th — Setting Intentions & Cultivating Awareness

Today marks the official opening of our Supermoon portal. The energy is building, making it a perfect time for preparation.

• Reflect: What seeds of intention do you wish to plant? What does your "good life" truly look like and feel like?

• Journal: Spend time writing down your deepest desires. Be specific, vibrant, and present as you describe your ideal future. Why not you? You deserve it!

• Cleanse: Begin to clear your physical and energetic space. A tidy home helps create a clear mind for intention-setting. This could be as simple as decluttering a desk or taking a cleansing bath.

Day 2: Sunday, October 5th — Amplifying Your Vision & Inner Work

As the moon swells closer to its peak, its energy encourages a deeper dive into your inner landscape.

• Visualize: Dedicate time to vivid visualization. See, feel, and embody your manifestations as if they have already occurred. Engage all your senses.

• Meditate: Connect with your intuition. What messages are coming through? Are there any limiting beliefs surfacing that need to be addressed before the full moon?

• Ground: Spend time in nature. Walk barefoot, hug a tree, or simply sit outdoors to anchor yourself amidst the rising lunar energy.

Day 3: Monday, October 6th — The Peak of the Supermoon in Aries: Manifestation & Release

This is it! The pinnacle of the Aries Supermoon's power—a fiery energy of action and identity. Today is all about harnessing this potent energy for both powerful manifestation and profound release.

• Manifestation Ritual: Under the direct light of the Supermoon (if possible!), speak your intentions aloud. You might create a vision board, charge your crystals, or perform a personal ritual that resonates with you. Focus on bringing your "good life" into being.

• Release Ceremony: Just as importantly, identify what you are ready to let go of. Write down fears, doubts, negative patterns, or anything that holds you back. Safely burn the paper (outdoors, in a fire-safe container) or tear it up and bury it, symbolizing release.

• Gratitude: Express immense gratitude for what is coming into your life and for the lessons learned from what you are releasing.

Day 4: Tuesday, October 7th — Integration & Gentle Release

The peak has passed, but the energy of release continues. This day is about gently integrating the shifts initiated during the full moon.

• Observe: Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings. What new perspectives are emerging? What are you noticing about yourself and your surroundings?

• Rest: The intensity of the Supermoon can be energetically draining for some. Allow yourself time to rest, hydrate, and integrate.

• Flow: Continue with gentle release practices. This could be through journaling, a soothing walk, or simply allowing emotions to pass without judgment.

Day 5: Wednesday, October 8th — Closing the Portal: Action & Trust

As the portal begins to close, the focus shifts from intense energetic work to inspired action and trust in the process.

• Inspired Action: What small, tangible steps can you take today to move closer to your manifestations? Don't wait for perfection; just take the next logical step.

• Trust: Release attachment to how your manifestations will unfold. Trust that the universe is working in your favor and that your intentions are heard.

• Reflect & Plan: Look back at your intentions. How do you feel? What have you learned? Plan how you will continue to nurture your intentions in the coming weeks.

This October Harvest Supermoon in Aries portal is a powerful invitation to align with your highest self and step into the life you truly desire. Embrace its energy, honor your journey, and remember: "Why not you?" The universe is ready to support your "good life."
