Embody Your Essence this New Moon Annular Solar Eclipse in 10°8' Libra, Wednesday, 2nd October 2024, 19.49 BST

Wow, we are in a magnifying new moon energy! This solar partial eclipse in Libra is not just about setting new seeds of intention but also an opportunity to energetically cut old stories that keep us weighed down.


When we retell or remunerate old sagas that make us emote and feel angry, hurt, or unloved, we cause tension in our bodies and lower our frequency. It's time to reclaim your power for a new way of being. This will set the tone for the cycle ahead and attract more harmony, equality and fairness.


This eclipse is more about looking back, reflecting on patterns that have not lifted our hearts with love, harmony, and joy.


Yes, it's time to cut the old energetic habits and find the discipline to upgrade, tweak, and recreate how we love and receive love and relate to each other in all our lives. Patanjali's ethical principles and social observances of Yamas and Ni Yamas would serve us well for purposeful discussions. The relationships could be personal, political, artistic, scientific, proactive, or reactive.


Libra teaches that the key to redressing imbalance and healing critical situations is recognising our Selves in Others.


Libra is the cardinal Air sign, and the glyph is the scale of justice, fairness, and harmony. Ruled by the planet Venus, the planet of love and harmony.


Sometimes, in the name of Libra, we fixate on finding equilibrium in all areas of life.


As the sun enters Libra, we experience a moment of balance on the Earth—the length of day and night is equal, and the autumnal equinox leads us into longer, darker, and colder nights. The Earth is in balance twice a year, so let this give us permission to feel wobbly now and again, especially when we step on the yoga mat! That is where we are safe to be in a relationship with ourselves, welcome the wibbles and the wobbles. Saying that Libra, being represented by the scales, is all about balance and harmony. Incorporating yoga asanas that resonate with Libra's energy can help enhance these qualities within oneself.

Yoga Asanas for Balance - Libra Themes


Tree Pose (Vrikshasana) symbolises rootedness and balance, encouraging us to find physical and mental stability and poise.


Eagle Pose (Garudasana) - embodies grace and focus, promoting concentration and equilibrium, essential traits for Libra individuals.


Dancer Pose (Natarajasana) - reflects the essence of balance and beauty, inviting us to explore the interplay between strength and flexibility.


Warrior III Pose (Virabhadrasana III) - instils a sense of strength and determination, qualities that can assist in maintaining equilibrium in various aspects of life.


Half Moon Pose (Ardha Chandrasana) - encourages us to find balance while embracing transitions, mirroring the Libra's ability to adapt and find harmony in change.


By incorporating these yoga poses into a practice focused on balance and Libra themes, individuals can cultivate a deeper connection with themselves and their surroundings, fostering a sense of equilibrium and well-being.


The planet and Goddess associated with Libra is Venus, the Goddess/Planet of Love, Art and Beauty - try to connect to that part of you as you channel your inner Goddess energy this season. Can you bring more cultural experiences into your life?


How can we find the harmony and the peace we desire?


The sacred marriage of Venus and Mars in our natal charts can give us a clue. If we take the time to reflect in, as the sky becomes darker, whether we know about astrology or not, we can inquire. There is some beautiful cosmic energy to support journaling or quiet contemplation to learn from our lessons and discern what we need.


Suggested themes of contemplation/ journal prompts:

  • What brings me joy?

  • What am I attracted to?

  • What motivates me to move and get up in the morning?


Perhaps playing sports, being a part of like-hearted communities, helping others?

Meditation and time walking near water?

Providing and organising a comfortable home?

Connecting to your body and savouring the senses, the natural world, yoga asanas or massage?

Nourishing your intellect with the novelty of learning new things, reading, and connecting with others?

Appreciating aesthetics, design and art?

Perhaps take yourself on an Artist Date to an exhibition/ gallery


Can you set an intention to welcome more joy, love, creativity and harmony into your life and share this with others?


New Moon Tidings!

Love,
