Hello,
I'm Nara and this meditation is here to help you connect with the energy of Libra.
Libra is the air sign that's ruled by Venus.
Air signs are interested in the circulation of thoughts and ideas.
And of the air signs,
Libra is the most focused on ideas about relationships in the here and now,
Whether those relationships are between people,
Things,
Or concepts.
Libra is symbolized by the scales,
And it's often associated with the theme of justice,
Weighing one testimony against another and meting out a fair sentence.
But in the ancient world,
Scales were also used as a means to weigh out goods and money.
And so the scale is also a symbol of transaction.
So like the other air signs,
Libra is great with technology and information.
More than anything though,
Like its symbol,
The scales,
Libra seeks balance in all things.
This makes it an extraordinary diplomat,
Able to hear different takes on an issue and find a compromise.
As a Venus-ruled sign,
It also excels in the areas of beauty and aesthetics,
And it's oriented towards relationships.
Fashion,
Design,
Art,
Music,
And planning social events are all very Libran topics.
Coming at fall equinox at the beginning of autumn,
Libra is a cardinal sign.
So it's great at generating new ideas and getting things off the ground.
It's an amazing planner and can round up a team of people with ease.
It may have a large network of friends,
But a word of caution,
It's also easy for Libra to make enemies,
Because it can be tempting to start using those wondrous diplomatic powers as a means of manipulation and control.
With its keen,
Intelligent sensitivity to others,
Libra can also sometimes end up looking for reflection of itself only in other people,
And forget about its own innate qualities.
So it's important for Libra not to get too caught up in the world of appearances,
Or to get drawn in to gossip and drama.
It must hold true to the ideals of balance and justice,
Keeping its own airy point of view in mind.
So as you deepen into your breath,
Beginning to allow each inhale and each exhale to be a little longer and a little more spacious.
I want you to imagine that you're stepping into the basket of a beautiful,
Big,
Hot air balloon.
It's dawn,
And the mist is just rising off of the meadows and hills around you.
As slowly,
Gently,
Your balloon begins to lift off the ground.
And as it does,
I want you to notice how it balances the energy of air,
Using it to float up to whatever height feels right,
And then staying there suspended,
Feeling nothing but the gentle morning breeze.
And so for the next couple of minutes,
I just want you to imagine the feeling of grace and equilibrium that comes from floating above the earth,
Watching the sun rise,
Drenching the landscape below you in a warm,
Glowing light,
And finding within yourself a beautiful sense of balance.
And now,
Allowing your balloon to drift back to earth,
Gently landing on the grass and coming back to the present,
But retaining the sense of balance,
Equity,
And beauty that's unique to Libra.
Three more balanced breaths,
Then we will return.
Thank you for joining me on this journey into the energy of Libra,
And I hope you find beauty today and every day.
