Hey there, Reader —

A sunny start to October here in Montreal! Did September feel like a blur to you? It sure did for me, and I can also feel myself settling into autumn.

Libra season began a few weeks ago, and its New Moon arrives at just the right time for us to take a beat after such a busy month, set intentions and look inward a little deeper.

If you were at the Equinox classes at Morpho Bleu, you heard Astro Auntie, Sarah L'hrar, say that Libra marks the shift in the astrological calendar from "me" to "we". This Libra New Moon turns our attention toward relationship – not only who we’re in relationship with, but who we become when we’re with other people. And Thursday evening this week is our practice where we gather under a darker sky, in advance of the moon’s reset on Saturday.

Libra asks us to consider fairness, reciprocity and balance, and this moon may show us where we’ve confused harmony with keeping everyone happy, avoided a difficult choice, or bent ourselves a little too far to accommodate someone else.

Hear that. Let that one settle.

And there’s more depth to this one than Libra’s reputation for ease and beauty might suggest. With Venus, Libra’s ruler, moving retrograde through Scorpio, we’re also being asked to look again at what we desire, what we value and what we’ve become attached to.

Something that once felt right may need different terms now. One relationship may need more honesty. Another decision we’ve been circling may finally ask to be made.

Maybe balance isn’t about getting everything perfectly even... Maybe it’s the ongoing practice of noticing when we’ve tipped too far away from ourselves and our own heart centre – and making the small, honest adjustment that brings us back.

Come set intentions with me for this Libra New Moon on Thursday evening at 18h30. We’ll meditate, breathe and work through some journal questions together. There’s always time at the end for sharing, too – and that part is never included in the recording that goes out to everyone who registers.

I hope to see you in the “we” – the “us” – that is this beautiful community.

Lots of Libra love,
Sara
