How Meaningful Are Your Relationships?

We moved into another new moon phase today, this one in the astrological sign of Libra.

New Moons always bring new beginnings that stem from the desires we have bubbling just under the surface. It marks an ideal time to acknowledge what it is within us that now wants to rise above the surface and take flight.

The Libra New Moon brings light to the connections in our lives, sparking a strong desire for balance, communication, and beauty – with a big emphasis on relationships.

It’s a perfect time to ask yourself:

• What in my life needs balancing, both internally and externally?
• What relationships do I have in my life that need more attention, perhaps even healing?
• Are there relationships in my life that have run their course? Am I ready to let go in order to move on?
• Where could I use more support, both personally and professionally?

As humans, we are tribal people. There is power in numbers, particularly when the numbers involve a group of like-minded souls who are supportive and appreciative of one another.

We have a natural need to connect. And when we’re feeling disconnected, our minds drift in the direction of those who are truly supporting us. We think about how we feel when we are with these people. They support us in our everyday dreams and they breathe life into our bigger vision – for ourselves and for the world at large.

During a New Moon phase, we are gifted with an opportunity to begin again. Whatever that dream is – that we are carrying around inside of us – it’s a perfect time to plant the seed and watch it grow. And in order for the seed to grow fully, it needs support. It needs your desire to see it grow to fruition – and it needs the support of those around you who fully believe that you have what it takes to make your dream come alive

The New Moon in Libra brings us the strength to sow seeds of relationships and new alliances. It provides opportunities for rebalancing partnerships to create harmony and justice.

As you ponder new beginnings during this new moon phase, gravitate toward those who fully embrace you for the authentic being that you are – an individual with magnificent gifts to share with the world.

As American writer and activist, Starhawk once noted, “Somewhere there are people to whom we can speak with passion without having the words catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power.”

Do you have this kind of support in your life?
