Dear friend,
Hi!! 🍒
I chose to go with a theme, this day, that I left blank. I wrote in my journal: “The Theme will come.” As in, make itself known as the day grows. The Affirmation I chose to craft: “I take pride in being.”
The cards I pulled supported this idea, falling in line with my thought to continue yesterday’s New Moon message in this post: Runes - Perception [with a focus on Dagaz (ᛞ) and Algiz (ᛉ)]; Relationships from The Soul’s Journey deck; Romance from the Magickal Spellcards deck; Divination (Chives) from The Green Witch Oracle deck; Palm Tree from the 2020 version of the Salt + Sea Energy deck; Mouse Spirit; Saturn in Leo (Generosity); and Pluto (Rebirth) from the Starcodes Astro Oracle deck.
These cards affirmed and aligned with many of the things that came in with the sashaying of the Libra New Moon. Being who you are, one with the seasons. Allowing, flowing. Honouring what is, through the conditioning by and weathering of the elements. Cycles, temperaments. Restoration of that missing Higher Heart perspective. Innate Essence. The Rose of Venus.
I spoke vaguely about my conflict resolution skills, or ah, lack thereof, yesterday.
I am understanding what it means to express myself, to feel the depth and enormity of my emotions and let them act as ‘information.’ Guidance keys. They don’t direct me. I don’t let them drive me. In the past, when challenging stuff came to my Door, I’d be overwhelmed, wrought with everything from which I was reeling. I acted less, thought a lot. I simmered. Rarely did I arrive at conscious thinking or solutions.
Things are different.
Compassionate curiosity is a trusted friend. Getting to know myself, looking into Mirrors... into ‘history’ has served me well.
The last few years have taught me so much about what it means to be in communion with yourself, first and foremost, what it means to ‘be at home’ within. I learned how to treat myself better, how to work with the Transits than against them. Who would I be to take on Destiny? Who would I not be if I didn’t believe coming here - Earth - was Destiny? Wonderfully overwhelming things. Powerful enough to move you, humbling enough to ground you in resonance.
What about this New Moon in Libra then? What does it mean?
I feel that Higher Heart Libra energy.
The kind that comes from loving and being loved, equally. That rouses in you from knowing you are you and that you love that. Being. That reminds you that you are instinctual in your actions but lack not intellect.
My South Node in Libra brought to my attention so many habits in my recent past that stemmed from wanting to come right, be loved, feel like I belonged. My heart was in the right place (as this character in a film I watched today said) but my logic was off.
My logic was so off that I partook in things that weren’t in communion with me, that looked good on paper but were far from the truths that were. Being uncomfortable with perceived challenges took me out. I denied before trying. (Hey, Argyle!) I self-sabotaged. I said yes when I meant no. I played safe, I played to keep the peace.
Believing the things I did made me act in ways completely in misalignment with my desires. I am not saying I was a puppet. But I abandoned my Compass. I travelled, sans anchor, sans boots. Until I accepted Towers falling as a beautiful thing, a spectacular phenomenon full of ‘Threshold potency,’ like the burning of ash wood at a bonfire, like the leaves seasonally falling off a beloved tree.
Libra energy can feel out of place with ugliness - that grittiness of life that Scorpio usually is one with.
Scorpios don’t desire or draw it in, but they trust the process, one way or another. They remain curious about the hidden, what lies unknown. Libra likes things out in the open, they see fairness and hope all do too. Their rose-coloured glasses are special. Their belief is sweet and true. There is such beauty in Life, such sweetness, that comes from being in peace and coming true. But operating like this, in a Realm filled with many unique energies, it can skew Libra’s Field of Vision, ever so slightly.
Where they see truth and Venusian wonders, others see distortions. Unbridled power, the glory of gore and war. How can this be so? This can disillusion a Libra to their very bones. And so, at the bottom, at this wasteland, they tap into something new. They relearn integrity. What it meant to come here, to uphold that Aries* suit. They learn what it means to be in Ego and equally in Heart, to operate from a dual core that feels like art... Hearth.
*Aries and Libra are sister signs.
Ending on a Libra note...
Remember!!
• Self-care is sexy
• Denying yourself is not
