The new moon on Friday 30 September 2016 is at 8 degrees Libra. The new moon September 2016 astrology shows a fresh new start following the doom and gloom of the recent eclipses. You can set optimistic goals in safe and secure environment.

New moon September 2016 is nicely aspected by four planets. Most importantly, positive aspects to Saturn and Neptune allow you emerge from the fear and anxiety of Saturn square Neptune this year. Dreams of love and money can come true in this happy and optimistic new moon.

New Moon Meaning

A new moon represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new 28 day cycle. Sun conjunct Moon means all possibilities are on the table. You can rightly put yourself in the forefront of new plans for the future. Old habits, behaviors and beliefs can be questioned as you search for new and inventive ways to make progress. This is the ideal time to make a fresh start and start writing down a to-do list.

However, the impulsive and enthusiastic nature of a new moon means that not all new projects will succeed. The influence of a new moon lasts for four weeks up to the next new moon, in this case, until the October 30 new moon. The best time for making a fresh start and for beginning new projects is during the first two weeks of a new moon cycle. This waxing phase of the moon lasts from September 30 to the October 16 full moon.

The September 30 new moon at 08°15′ Libra is linked by aspect to four planets but conjunct no major fixed stars. There are major positive aspects to Jupiter and Saturn plus minor aspects to Venus and Neptune. So this new moon allows for growth and enjoyment within safe and secure boundaries. Many will be hoping for lasting happiness through meeting their ideal romantic partner. However, some adjustments will be needed in your life before any relationship or financial dream can materialize.

Sun conjunct Jupiter gives a general feeling of well-being, happiness and optimism. Good luck at this time can be seen as an opportunity for growth, personal, professional and spiritual. This is an excellent time to begin new studies or long distance travels. New relationships, investments, or the beginning of any new projects are favored. Generally, things started now will turn out positively in the long run. Jupiter is perfect for the growth and success of your new moon fresh start or new goal.

Sun sextile Saturn brings patience, perseverance and a strong work ethic. These attributes together with a sense of duty and serious attitude make this an excellent time to achieve your goals. You are determined to achieve practical results and make no mistakes. Advancement and recognition is also possible now, especially in your professional life. Saturn brings stability and longevity to your new moon fresh start or new goal.

Jupiter sextile Saturn is extremely weak at seven degrees orb and is not exact until August 2017. It is worth mentioning here because it comes within one degree orb from 11 November 2016 until 24 January 2017. Jupiter sextile Saturn is a time of cautious expansion. Opportunities for growth may come in your career, through investment or business deals, or in your personal life as major material possessions or relationship choices.

Saturn square Neptune is starting to fade after its final climax on September 10. Sun sextile Saturn replaces guilt with confidence while Venus trine Neptune replaces disappointment with love. This first new moon of a new eclipse phase is an important first step in the right direction. The September 1 solar eclipse highlighted the fear and anxiety of Saturn square Neptune. New moon September 2016 with its positive aspects to both planets really turns the tables on the fearmongers.

New Moon September 2016 Minor Aspects

Sun semi-sextile Venus is a much milder version of Sun conjunct Venus. It represents a positive link between your goals and your love life or finances. You can expect some positive developments in this area. On its own this aspect indicates only minor developments but we have to consider Venus trine Neptune and the tightness of the minor aspects. The new moon aspects to Venus and Neptune are about one degree orb compared to the major aspects to Jupiter and Saturn of about three degrees. You can tell this by the thickness of the aspect lines in the new moon horoscope.

Sun quincunx Neptune is the only challenging aspect directly from the new moon. It indicates a rebalancing is required in how you express your ego and the kinds of goals you set yourself. Saturn square Neptune may have pounded your optimism into the ground in which case you can afford to be more optimistic now. However, it could be the case that you need to stop fantasizing about the impossible or begin a healthier diet. Small changes can tip the scales in your favor.

Venus trine Neptune is just perfect for relaxation and daydreaming. Besides fantasizing about your ideal lover, you can put your hand to any creative projects under this influence. It especially favors singing but anything creative can lead to something beautiful. Your love life will benefit from your increased tenderness. Not particularly an indicator of steamy sex, this aspect is more about tender touch and smooching. Connecting to a companion at the spiritual level is more important, though tantric sex would be most enjoyable during this moon phase.

New Moon September 2016 Summary

Although Venus trine Neptune is connected to new moon September 2016 by minor aspects only, the tightness of the orbs involved suggests that finding spiritual love may in fact be the major driving force behind your new moon goal setting. There is reason for some optimism regarding your love life and finances with wealthy Jupiter and stable Saturn making helpful aspects to the September 30 new moon.

Saturn square Neptune has been spreading fear and pessimism throughout the world all year.
