Hi, it’s Keiko. 

As you may have already heard, Mercury went into retrograde on September 26th and will continue on its reverse path until October 19th. 

I hope everyone is doing well. 

On October 6th there will be a New Moon in Libra, the sign which governs the themes of love, engagement, and marriage.  

Since Libra is the sign where Mercury is currently in retrograde, the themes of “reunion,” “reviving love,” “getting back together,” and “starting over” are going to emerge in a major way.  

During this time I’m sure many people are going to run into someone they used to love on the street, or be reunited with a loved one. 

It’s precisely at this time that the fiancé of Japan’s princess Mako, Mr. Komuro is returning from New York to Japan to marry her. 

In fact, these two were both born under the sign of Libra.  In the case of Mr. Komuro, Mercury was at 28 degrees Libra, which coincides exactly with where Mercury started its current retrograde at 25 degrees Libra. 

This makes him literally the symbol of a returned lover. 

In the past, funeral services for the Japanese emperor, and accession to the throne, are good examples which affirm that the movements of Japan’s Imperial Family are in perfect harmony with the movements of the sky.  It’s really quite surprising!  The same can be said about the British Royal Family, but I’ll talk about that in detail at some other time. 

On the occasion of the New Moon in Libra, which will happen in the midst of Mercury in retrograde, many things are going to start moving, and not just for the two of them. 

I’m sure many people must be wondering, “Don’t mishaps happen quite frequently when Mercury is in retrograde?”  Still others are probably thinking, “Isn’t Mercury retrograde a time to take extra precautions so as to not make mistakes when sending an email or to not forget to enter everything on an application?”   

In fact, that’s the general rule when Mercury is in retrograde. 

But, you know, this time it’s a little different...

That’s because right now, the pressure to “progress and advance” is far greater than the power of retrograde!  

The reason for this is that within the next couple of weeks, three planets are going to reverse course, one after the other.  On October 7th, Pluto, the champion of the underworld, will change direction, followed by the old man Saturn, on October 11th, and the lucky planet Jupiter on October 18th.  In other words, all three planets will be moving from retrograde motion to prograde motion before the end of the month. 

As you are well aware, Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter are all big players... 

They are the “big three” of the sky! 

This October, it’s clear that the momentum will shift and reach a peak for things to move forward. 

This is especially true with regards to engagement and marriage. 

As for business related activities, collaborations, joint ventures, and partnerships are all auspicious, which means that now is a great time for partnerships of all kinds, both personal and professional. 

If you need to schedule an important meeting with your team to discuss future opportunities, Wednesday, October 6th is the day to do it! 

On that note, I’m sure that you’ve probably already realized how important the October 6th New Moon in Libra will be as a turning point, haven’t you? 

As you prepare to write your Power Wishes on the occasion of this extremely important New Moon, here are three questions the Universe is asking you…

1. How would you feel if your hobby became your job?

2. Is there someone you’re excited to be with because you are able to be yourself when you are together?

3. Is there a romantic partner you’d like to get back together with, or a team you’d like to join?

Were you able to answer these questions without hesitation? 

If you had trouble answering any of them, I suggest you recite the following example of a Libra New Moon Power Wish out loud. 

I intend to be prepared to meet my partner and fulfill my destiny at the optimum moment. 

I also recommend that you transcribe this Power Wish into your Power Wish Notebook.  

The major theme of this New Moon in Libra is, “The very foundations of our relationships will be greatly enhanced and renewed!”

On that note, I strongly encourage you to think about how to attract people who will help improve your life, and take full advantage of the power of this Libra New Moon to upgrade and revive your relationships!
