is your life out of balance??? ⚖️

“In the end, Libra wants to find that balance of good judgment. ⚖️ Good judgment for you and good judgment to the best of your ability for the people and the lives around you.” ~ Christopher Renstrom on October 2nd’s Libra New Moon Solar Eclipse 🌑✨

do you ever feel like your life is in such a delicate balance, that adding one tiny thing to your schedule, or taking away one helpful thing you do to keep yourself healthy, can throw you massively out of orbit?

If yes, I can certainly relate, and this week is one where we’re getting a chance to reassess our sense of equilibrium.

I had an illuminating experience of this just last night….

Between the two of us, my love and I have four dogs. Normally, two of them stay at his house and two at mine, creating the perfect balance of doggie responsibility between us.

But last night all four of them stayed with me AND my usually quiet Sunday evening with my daughters, was blessed by the company of a friend who is visiting from out of town.

Getting to bed later than usual, I skipped the one thing I’ve been doing lately to ensure beautiful sleep at night… “preparing my spine for sleep” with gentle stretching and breathing (Inner Circle members, you hear me talk about my “Golden Hour” bedtime routine – this is the newest addition!)

I’m sure you can guess where this is going…

Between dogs barking and a nervous system wound way too tight, I found myself up for hours in the middle of the night…

Wishing I had at least done one of the “nonnegotiables” that I need to organize my life around, setting myself up for peaceful sleep and a balanced week.

Of course, we can’t always get it right, and there will be times when we will either choose or inadvertently get thrown off… but this is a week where all things balance are up for consideration.

Wednesday’s Solar Eclipse on the South Node in Libra invites you to look at your relationships, work, and personal pursuits and ask yourself…

…Where do I need more equilibrium? (Sidebar: did you know the word equilibrium has Latin roots and includes the word LIBRA for balance or scale?) ⚖️🤔

And how does my delicate sense of balance get thrown off?

Because this is a South Node eclipse the focus will be on things that put undo weight on the scales of your life, things you need to cut from your life because they can drag you into exhausting energetic eddies.

Things like…

The unnecessary time spent scrolling social media before bed
The extra glass of wine that ended up disrupting your sleep and setting you up for binge eating the next day
The time spent with people who drain instead of uplift you
Becoming defensive and lashing out, instead of listening and understanding
Saying yes to things that tip you into the realm of overwhelm
And so on and so on!

But remember, as Christopher Renstrom reminds us in this week’s bonus podcast episode …

Libra energy isn't about achieving a perfect 50-50 split in all things.

It's about finding harmony and creating a life that flows 🌊 rather than jerks from extreme to extreme.

And it’s not a time for harsh self-criticism but for gentle, loving reassessment. 💖

As Christopher says so beautifully, “Libra invites. It invites you to place an object that you think is very valuable into one of the plates of the scale, or it invites you to step up onto the scale to be weighed and for a value to be assigned.”

In addition to personal choices you may be making to become imbalanced, there may be relationship dynamics that pull you off center this week as well…

Mark Borax, our Inner Circle Astrologer reminded us that, “Relationships are bound to get bumpy, volatile, and intensifed because what they've been polluted with has to come out, so the relationship can be lifted…”

So even the relationships we share with loved ones are seeking balance and equilibrium through releasing what is old and stagnant.

Finally, remember to call on your astrological allies in the sky for the insights and revelations you need to make new choices (I certainly did this morning!)…

You can call upon Venus, the ruler of Libra to help you beautifully balance your reality and relationships, or Saturn, the one who helps us create healthy boundaries, or Mercury, who will be Cazimi the Sun just hours after the eclipse, to help you receive the messages you need to move forward in a healthier way…

You’re not alone. Be patient with yourself as you navigate this path.

And know that within you lies the power to love fully, judge fairly, and choose wisely. 🌈✨

Wishing you harmony and wisdom, 💖

Amanda
