Astrologer Kirsty Gallagher says Libra’s new moon means it’s time to burn away what you no longer want

You may be wondering what Saturday’s new moon has in store and one astrologer says it’s time to burn away the old you and find ‘balance’.

Each new moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, with astrologers emphasising the ‘blank slate’ quality as a chance to put the past weeks aside and begin anew when the night sky is at its darkest and new beginnings await.

Posting on her Instagram account, spiritual voice and author Kirsty Gallagher said that from Wednesday ‘a deep excavation of the heart and mind’ will be in store in the build-up to Saturday’s new moon.

In the caption introducing her post she said, “Saturday’s Libra new moon calls us back into balance, alignment and integrity with ourselves, amplified by Venus square Mars highlighting where we may be playing a role, giving too much away or not being fully true to who we are.

She continued, “This is a week to journey inwards, awaken the fire within and give to it all that you no longer want to take forwards with you.”

Kirsty went even further on the image slides she shared with her 247K followers: “We’re being asked to awaken the fire within, burn away what we no longer want to take forward with us, and allow a new, more authentic version of ourselves to emerge.”

She went on to explain the importance of journeying inwards, instead of reacting to the outside world.

On the approach to the new moon, she advised her fans to put anything they no longer wanted to carry forward into their inner fire.

“Mercury conjunct Venus brings a deep inner excavation of our hearts and minds and showing you where old stories, beliefs, relationships and wounds around your sense of worth are still operating from the past version of you.”

Kirsty explained how Mars sextile Uranus ‘amplifies this’, offering the chance to ‘finally break the cycle’.

Once the new moon arrives, she said it will show “where you’re out of alignment and integrity with yourself, where you’re giving too much away or have become someone you’re not to please others.”

“You’re being asked to choose yourself, trust yourself and come back into the right relationship with yourself.

“This is a week of deep inner excavation and inner alchemy.

“Awaken the fire within and give to it the old versions of you, patterns and stories you no longer want to take forwards.

“Let this be the week you rise, like the phoenix from the flames, as a new, more powerful and authentic you.”
