Libra Energy: Astrology for Career & Life Clarity
Learning about your personal astrology (through your birth chart) can be key to understanding your unique gifts, challenges and what life and work paths will ultimately bring you the most joy.
In addition, attuning to the energy of the astrological seasons provide both a spiritually-aligned focus for the month and invites more intuition, ease and flow into our day-to-day activities.
In this blog series I share more about the strengths and shadows of each zodiac sign, plus some activities to help you utilize the sign’s energy.
LIBRA
SEPTEMBER 22 – OCTOBER 22
Symbol: The Scales / Element: Air / Mode: Cardinal
With Libra we begin the journey through the second half of the zodiac. Over these next six months we take what we’ve learned about ourselves and the world over the last six months and work it over, with more knowledge, wisdom and experience.
We have this beautiful opportunity to begin again. To re-establish who we are, to reassess what’s important to us and to regain a sense of balance (or better yet, harmony) within our lives.
Although many of Libra’s traits and strengths deal with the outer world (artistic creativity, relationships, diplomacy), the true nature of the sign lies within it’s unshakeable core.
Let us all lean into Libra’s ability to remain calm amidst the chaos.
And let us find light through the process. This time of year (especially this year) can start to feel dark, dense and heavy. Bring in the light through small acts of creativity and beauty - a few fresh flowers, a neatly made bed, a pop of color in your wardrobe, an extra moment taking in the magnificence of fall foliage, or soak in the look in a lover’s eyes. Do not underestimate the power of an aesthetically pleasing outfit, space or experience.
Strategies of Libra:
Aware of the importance of inner calm
Appreciation (and often creation) of beauty
Ability to form deep, harmonious bonds
Accepting, can see both sides of an argument or perspective
Fights for justice
Learning within relationship
Shadows of Libra:
Indecision
Hesitant to commit
Too much focus on external appearances
People-pleasing
Difficulty saying no
How to utilize the Libra energy:
Revisit (or define) your personal values. What is most important to YOU? And then assess - are you living from those values, or someone else’s value set?
Use a wellness wheel (like the Circle of Life for my Institute for Integrative Nutrition graduates) to reflect on your own well-being balance.
Spruce up your space - Libra loves a good aesthetic!
Buy yourself a new accessory or clothing item, something that makes you feel radiant.
Get creative! Make something beautiful.
Practice saying no.
