Welcome dear soul.
The season has turned.
The nights are growing longer.
And Mother Earth is drawing her light inward.
And tonight,
Grandmother Moon rests dark and new in the sign of Libra.
The sign of the scales of harmony and of balance.
This meditation is here to guide you gently inward and to shine a mirror to your soul.
To the love and truth it already holds.
Because that is what soul means.
Song of uniting love.
Within and without.
Above and below.
Let's begin.
Find a comfortable place to rest,
Sitting or laying down.
Allow your body to be held by the surface you have chosen.
Let your eyes gently close.
Arrive here,
Just as you are.
Here you are seen.
You are heard.
And you are held.
Take a slow breath in.
And let it go.
Breathe in again.
And as you release your breath,
Feel your body soften.
Grandmother Moon is quiet tonight.
Resting.
Held in the arms of the sky.
And in her quiet.
A new cycle is beginning.
Imagine now.
You are walking down to the edge of the sea.
The night is dark and soft around you.
The air is cool with autumn.
A soft breeze moves across the water.
The breath of Libra.
An air sign.
Light and clear.
In your hand,
You carry a lantern.
Its light is warm and golden.
Illuminating the path beneath your feet.
Giving light to each step.
This is the only light you need tonight.
You arrive at the water's edge and the tide is still.
The water has stopped rising.
And has yet to fall,
Resting in the space between.
In this moment,
The sea is in balance.
Hold your lantern out over the water now.
Watch the light fall across the surface.
And then fall deeper.
Venus,
The planet ruling Libra,
Has turned back in her path.
She travels now through the deep waters of Scorpio.
Reviewing,
Remembering,
Revisiting what she loves and what she values.
Venus rests here in your lantern.
Tonight,
She invites you to do the same.
Let your lantern illuminate what rests beneath the surface.
What you love.
What you value.
What your heart has been carrying.
Gently.
Softly.
And with kindness.
Whatever you see here,
Your light holds it with love.
Ear there is only seeing.
Only witnessing.
Sit your lantern down beside you on the sand.
Open your hands now and rest them,
Palms up.
In one hand.
Feel the choice you are holding.
In the other hand.
Feel another.
Feel their weight Feel how each one rests in you.
You are the scales tonight.
Your heart is the center point,
Holding both with equal love.
This new moon asks only that you hold them in the light.
The choosing will come in its own time.
When the tide turns.
On the way is clear.
For now.
Rest here.
In the balance of it all.
Begin now to feel the weight of your body again.
Breath moving through you.
Mother Earth's gravity holding you.
Holding the soul and heart of you.
Bring your hands to rest over your heart.
Feel your lantern glowing here.
Steady.
Yours.
Reviewing.
Resetting.
Resting.
This is the gift.
Of Libra New Moon.
And her soul's reminder.
That what is held in the light.
Becomes clear in its own time.
When you are ready.
And only when you are ready.
Let your eyes open.
Gently into this new lunar cycle.
Feel your center balance.
Feel the stillness that rests within.
And the knowing that will come.
Go gently,
Dear soul.
