Take a comfortable seat or lie down,

Allowing your spine to lengthen and your shoulders to soften.

Close your eyes gently and bring your full attention to your breath.

Inhale slowly and exhale fully.

Let the rhythm of your breathing anchor you in this moment.

With each breath,

Release the tension of the day.

Let your jaw unclench,

Your chest soften,

And your belly relax.

This is your time,

A pause to reconnect,

Reset,

And invite new energy in.

Today we meet under the Libra New Moon.

New moons mark fresh beginnings,

Moments to set intentions,

Plant seeds,

And invite balance back into our lives.

Libra,

The sign of harmony and relationships,

Reminds us of the spaces where we come together with others,

Collaborations,

Clients,

Partnerships,

And our teams.

This moon asks us to look at how we show up in those spaces.

Do we over-function,

Carrying everything alone?

Do we slip into people-pleasing,

Giving more than we receive?

Or do we step back too far,

Relying on others to lead in our place?

The Libra New Moon invites us to restore equilibrium,

To claim our leadership space,

While also being open to mutual trust and shared responsibility.

Bring to mind one partnership or collaboration that feels important to you right now.

It could be with a colleague,

A client,

A team,

Or even in your personal life.

Notice how you've been showing up in this relationship.

Are you carrying more than you share,

Fixing problems before others can act?

Are you saying yes when you mean no,

Out of fear of seeming selfish?

Are you stuck in the belief that this is just how it has to be?

Or are you avoiding conflict,

Hoping it will disappear on its own?

There's no judgment here,

Only gentle awareness.

Simply notice what role you've been inhabiting.

Now imagine this partnership or collaboration bathed in the soft glow of moonlight.

See yourself standing firmly in this light,

Your posture steady,

And your heart open.

Feel the balance between giving and receiving flow through you,

Like a scale that gently writes itself.

With each inhale,

You receive trust,

Respect,

And support.

With each exhale,

You offer clarity,

Presence,

And leadership.

Allow yourself to release the over-functioning,

The people-pleasing,

The avoidance,

Or the resignation.

Imagine these masks gently falling away,

Dissolving into the earth.

In their place,

Feel your authentic leadership energy rise.

Not forceful,

Not passive,

But steady,

Balanced,

Resilient.

A leader who collaborates,

Shares responsibility,

And trusts their partners to step into their own power.

Take a few breaths here,

Feeling the expansion of this balance in your body.

As we close this reflection,

Place one hand on your heart,

And the other on your belly,

And whisper silently to yourself.

I lead with balance.

I give and receive in equal measure.

I release the masks,

And I trust in shared leadership.

Let these words settle into your being.

Feel them ripple through your body,

Your relationships,

Your leadership.

Take one more deep inhale,

And a slow exhale.

When you're ready,

Gently wiggle your fingers and toes,

Bringing yourself back into the present moment.

And when it feels right,

Open your eyes.

The Libra New Moon has offered you a reset.

Carry this intention with you in the days ahead,

Letting it guide how you collaborate,

How you lead,

And how you show up in partnership.
