As life has reminded us recently, “life ain’t no crystal stair” ***. The October 8, 2018 New Moon in social, Air sign Libra (gracious with a tensile strength) encourages us to keep moving forward seeking harmony and successful relationships – begin something new, or begin “anew”. The Lunar orb, while in the “New” phase (it is in the same sign as the Sun), highlights partnerships and coalitions.
Take advantage of the energy – meet & greet “new” comrades, create something powerful & “new”. The universe will support New Moon innovation for the next 10 days or so until the Moon is “Full” on 10/24/18 – which is a great time for finishing up, completing projects, etc.

Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now—
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
