On the Libra new moon, try these seven rituals to bring more harmony and beauty into your life:
1. Gather your harvest
Libra, the first astrological sign of autumn, heralds the beginning of the fall and harvest seasons. Where did you direct your energy in the spring? Since then, what have you been focusing on? What’s flourishing in your figurative garden do you like? If not, this is the ideal opportunity to choose and plant fresh, more fruitful seeds.
Just be aware of Libra’s propensity to tempt you to unintentionally avoid taking responsibility for your decisions. You expected tomatoes; nevertheless, you received apples. Take a step back. It’s likely that you were the one who sowed those heirloom seeds. Or perhaps you simply failed to see what was being planted. Don’t be hard on yourself. Recognize the cause of the U-turn, take ownership of it, and then rectify your course. Check your diary or schedule to identify where you’ve been “leaking” time and energy. That can now be very telling.
2. Simply state “maybe!”
Feel compelled to choose now? resist giving in. It’s acceptable to wait and see during the Libra new moon. If you’re putting the heat on someone else, what then? Give everything a break and take a few deep breaths.
After all, that “no” might just be short for “not just now.” When a “no” is acknowledged and respected, it could later become a “yes.” So give up your agendas and the desire to manage the outcome. Be adaptable to change, course adjustments, and unanticipated results. Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative, as Oscar Wilde, a Libra zodiac sign, famously stated.
3. Get ready
When you’re busy, style may be stressful, and getting dressed can seem like an additional side job. An already packed schedule may find that additional hour of matching, accessorizing, doing makeup, and blow-drying to be a tremendous burden.
Fortunately, Venus rules Libra. When it is present, passion, beauty, and art come as naturally to you as breathing. Making time for self-adornment during the Libra new moon can be a relaxing ritual break from the intense, goal-oriented energy of your day.
4. Adopt the diplomatic process.
Libra, the sign that rules the seventh house of committed partnerships in the zodiac, is all about achieving the ideal balance between “we” and “me,” as well as terms that are agreeable to both parties.
This does not only apply to people. Numerous significant international agreements were made in September and went into force during Libra new moons, such as the pact between Britain and the United States that put an end to the Revolutionary War and the treaty that allowed Japan to regain its independence after World War II.
The Libra new moon will make it easier for you to talk things out, listen well, and find win-win solutions wherever you focus your attention. There are three types of wants: your needs, the needs of the other person, and the larger requirements of the relationship, which act as a third entity. Organize them all on a table and evaluate them. Just keep in mind your restrictions and boundaries. Attempting to please everyone could occasionally result in pleasing no one at all.
5. Improve your connectivity
Your connections will receive a cosmic reset under the Libra new moon. Even people who are happily single occasionally experience sudden urges to combine, or at the very least, add a little more company to their lives. Couples: Put down your swords, and put aside your disputes with your loved ones. Anytime you make concessions, work together, or co-create, this new moon will be on your side. Finding a middle ground may call for some outside assistance, such as a mediator, coach, or couple’s therapist, but the goal is to do so.
“These are the cues you use both verbally and nonverbally to connect with your spouse and maintain the relationship. According to Gottman’s research, contented couples will “bid” up to 100 times in a ten-minute period. According to Gottman, a healthy relationship requires being able to express your needs and desires in a caring manner.
6. Make your surroundings more appealing
You are prompted to make anything more beautiful right now by Libra, the supreme love goddess and aesthete; even your smallest, most subtle improvement will be noticed and valued. Cut flowers for your bedroom and dining room tables. Purchase a better-quality bottle of wine. You can purchase the turquoise ring from a sidewalk hawker. Your home’s accent wall should be painted. Set up a beautiful tablescape on your desk.
7. Strive for a healthy balance of mind and body
Do you have a scattered mind? Why not restore harmony by using your own body? Anytime you’re looking for a good dose of that distinctive Libran serenity, mindfulness activities can truly help.
Make your way to a class where you may work it out on the mat or perform a few sun salutations. For Libra season, try a few partner yoga poses to help you rebalance your body and strengthen your relationship with your partner. Ready for something more vigorous? Try the martial art of Capoeira, which was influenced by Brazilian dancing, and get into the groove with a partner. Alternately, go all out and dance your own routines under the new moon in powerful but unseen Libra.
Whatever decision you make, Libra and Venus, her ruling planet, almost certainly ensure that you will be at your most graceful, charming, and beautiful.
