Libra New Moon - Balance at All Costs from Sun to Earth

New Moon occurs on Oct. 17th @ 10:33 PDT or Oct. 18th @ 1:33 AM EDT
The moon will be at 24 degrees 58 minutes Libra with this Sabian Symbol: "Information in the symbol of an autumn leaf."
This is the time when trees are beginning to loose their leaves and the harvest is finished. The leaves change colors to reflect this cycle.
Another more modern and complex Sabian Interpretation for 25 degrees Libra: "Having skipped school a boy puts down his gothic horror novel and walks toward the window, where he watches townspeople scurrying through a sudden shower of rain and falling leaves."
This Sabian reflects teh contrast of being immersed in fantasy vs. coming down to earth and facing reality.
Also in focus is the value of learning from books or study vs. learning directly from the school of life.
Understanding the changeable realm of the physical world yet embracing the indestructible essence of nature and its cycles.

Another cycle is occuring far from our planet but has direct relationship as the Sun
