//the love of libra//
The scene
Here we are again. Another change in season. As we move through space, the scenery around us shifts. In the Northern Hemisphere, we are falling into autumn. We wake to the chill of a still quiet darkness. We adorn our feet in fuzzy slippers, slink into a cozy robe + fill our mugs with something sacred to sip on. The sunlight is seemingly steeped in the scent of pumpkin-spice, and that first step outside greets you with an intentional, deep inhale of the crisp, fresh air. As day turns dusk, our eyes get to feast on the orange hues that drench early evening skies, while gusts of amber leaves cascade above our beanie-capped domes. And when the last of the light touches our skin, we are grateful for the warmth + nestle in closer to the ones we love. Nightly firesides glow with stories from seasons past, and the stars above shine above, in the beautiful sign of Libra.
the sign
Ruler of romance + harbinger of balance, this is the love of Libra. A cardinal air sign, ruled by Venus, Libra tends to be both charming + chatty. The zodiac’s fine art aficionado, the haute couture connoisseur, the passionate peacekeeper: each part comes together and Libra starts to take shape. Beginning at a time of year when the autumnal equinox marks an exact equilibrium of day + night, Libra strives for an evenness in all endeavors. The collective shift brings forth collective themes of relationship, balance, forgiveness + letting go, making Libra season the perfect time to reflect on your connection to self + other. Read on for ways to lean in this Libra season. With love.

THE PROMPTS
Starting a shift of any kind with a series of reflection questions will help cultivate awareness, as you move forward through the next phase. We look back to learn better routes toward future timelines. Thinking about things that helped you, feeling through the hurt, these are ways to travel into living a more insightful life. The following prompts are compiled to assist you in your awakening. Take some time to sit + reflect with each one. You’ll be happy you did. As always, if you are called to share, please do so! The images are all linked to a file that you can download + type your answers directly in to the space provided— Libra Szn says more ease please!
THE PEACE
Peace can feel out of reach amidst times of continuous change, sometimes known as chaos. We live in a world that revolves around old, outdated paradigms, which is exactly why we are here to usher in more peace. When we tune into the frequency of peace, we vibrate in that place, and our internal energy is sent outward to the world. Ask yourself how you can bring more peace into your daily life. This may look like an afternoon walk, deep + intentional breaths, or saying no when you need to. Check-in with yourself to see what you need!
the HOLD
Make a fist. Go ahead. Right now. If you are able to, hold your hand together as tight as you can. Notice the effort + energy it takes. Now let go. Feel the release of energy. That is the mood this Libra season: sweet release. This prompt is asking you to look at your life through a different lens—Where you are holding on? Is it a toxic relationship? Is it a toxic behavior? Are you willing to let go? What happens if you do? These questions are big, because the effect these negative people//places//things are having on your life is big too. In order for deep impact, we need to call in more space to sort out what is, from what may be. Take your time + make the effort. It is a season of shedding, and it starts with saying it out loud. Acknowledgement allows growth, so let go, my love.
the trifecta
Ah, the big three of psychology. Thoughts. Feelings. Actions. They all inform one another, and you are at the helm, steering that ship. The course you take depends on the relationship you have with each aspect of your self. Are your ideas, emotions and behaviors all aligned? Cue Wouldn’t It Be Nice by The Beach Boys. A darling song about daydreaming, growing up, and IMHO— manifestation! Visualize what your life would look like // feel like // be like in with more balance, harmony + ease. This is a great tool to move ahead. But first, you have to know where you are at. Start there. Enter with an open heart, this type of energy work can bring up lots, take your time + know you are loved.
THE BOUNDARIES
As I begin to think + write about boundaries I hear the Ho'oponopono prayer play in my mind— I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. This powerful little prayer warms my heart and lifts me up to a place filled with more love. What is the fundamental + foundational framework of boundaries, you ask? Love. A practice in patience + forgiveness, mantras are transformational tools, and this one is for giving you a clean slate. The reality that surrounds you comes from your perception, and that is where boundary work starts. At the center, in the connection to self. It is that relationship which ultimately attracts + affects the ones around you. Give it a healthy dose of honesty, listen to what comes up, the truth of the matters will set you free. And so it is, so it may be.
the Offering
Consideration + compassion are the cornerstones of this reflective work. Be considerate of where you are at in the journey that is unfolding. Meet yourself there. Give yourself grace and honor the sacredness of this work. Journaling, art-making, meditation; all compassionate ways of working with theses prompts. If oracle + tarot are part of your practice, try opening up a spread by asking the cards these questions. Your desire may to be to go deeper. If that’s the case and you are wondering where to start, I have an array of offerings for you to choose from. You can find them here and on the big button below. This Libra season I encourage you to explore more of your self, and be curious of how that relationship informs the others. Take care, my beauty. With lots + lots of love.
