New Moon In Libra 2022 | Your Heart's Desire
Welcome to your heart's desires.
Please keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle of your heart's chambers. It's gonna be a bumpy ride as you deprogram the old beliefs that have kept you chasing emotionally unavailable lovers, lacking trust in yourself, and settling in your relationships.
You've been told you were meant to please others all your life, so you abandoned yourself along the way. You mourned the loss of your old self, and now you're realizing you finally want to live your life for you again.
Perhaps you've already been working on your people pleasing tendencies, you've been realizing that when you stop catering to others the world doesn't fall apart.
In fact, the world keeps running.
Time stops for nobody, so you understand how crucial it is for you to have a stronger sense of self.
This is the energy of the New Moon in Libra on September 25th, an activation that comes annually to take your relationships to the next level. Now, you're being ignited to understand what you truly desire.
Well, what is it that you desire?
Have you ever taken the time to ask yourself that?
Perhaps no one has ever asked you about what you want. You may not take the time to ask yourself what your emotional needs are.
People insert their opinions, ideas, and decisions and you just roll with the punches. You say "Yes" and nod to someone's suggestion or idea when really, you're choking on your "No".
You're struggling with giving yourself permission to live your life for yourself. You were taught that your emotions and feelings come last so you push yourself away for the "greater good" of others, at least that's what you tell yourself.
Deep down, you're avoiding conflict because your nervous system goes into a panic as soon as any kind of conflict arises around you. You instantly feel like you need to resolve the problem right away. You take on the role of the fixer in your relationships.
Keeping the peace does not mean people pleasing, it means creating the space for compassion and not criticizing others.
- You can recognize when someone is crossing your boundaries and give a compassionate No. A powerful word when your chest tightens as your boundaries are crossed is a plain and simple No.
- You can choose to confront someone compassionately. You can understand when something bothers you and create compassionate confrontation around the issue.
- You can state how you feel without criticizing the other. Most people rarely criticize themselves. Lead with how you feel and from a space of understanding.
Confrontation doesn't have to be scary. In fact, confrontation can create the space for collaboration.
How will you choose to collaborate?
Let's explore what your needs are in your relationships together with an astrology reading.
With Venus in Virgo trining Pluto in Capricorn, you're being asked to bring a new level of commitment into your relationships. This is the commitment to show up for yourself. This is the commitment to recognize where you have been too harsh on yourself and others.
Venus falls in Virgo, meaning Venus feels the most uncomfortable in this zodiac sign. The pleasure seeking Venus doesn't understand the perfectionist driven Virgo.
There's an intensity with this New Moon that's bringing up your boundaries surrounding your relationships. You may have too many walls between you and another person or it could be the opposite, you have nothing standing in the way between others and their access to you. This could easily lead to you getting taken advantage of and being easily manipulated.
With this newfound clarity, you can open your eyes to the reality of this situation.
Venus in Virgo is also opposing Neptune in Pisces, the planet of illusions and fantasies. There are reoccurring thoughts and patterns around your relationships that you need to take the time to self reflect on. This could also show up in the form of someone pulling you apart in different directions right now. Confusion leads to uncertainty, which leads to chasing, which leads to wasted energy.
The introspective Mercury Retrograde in Virgo is conjunct Venus. The patterns that have shown up for you since September 9th are the patterns you need to give yourself permission to release.
From here until Mercury Retrograde ends on October 2nd, it is your duty to recognize what you need to feel more secure in your relationships.
