Mind the gap

Libra New Moon Deep Dive

In life, there are gaps.

Moments in which all of the real magic happens.

When the energy is void. When a palpable silence rolls over the hours of the day and ripples through our energy bodies. When we find ourselves listening to the rhythmic sound of our own breathing, the movements of our stomach, or the tiny, creaking noises of the room in which we find ourselves.

If we can mind this gap and stay present in our peace, we can experience an ancient alchemy long forgotten in our world.

In modernity, we all too often fight this quiet and fill it with tasks and noise, never knowing what magic could have been. The miracles that never happened. The big ideas that never took root. The bone-deep relief that was just around the corner.

Our landscape is littered with the discarded remains of missed opportunities for wonder and awe.

Meandering afternoons and moments of quiet repose are now essentially extinct species, hobbling energetic ecosystems in ways we still cannot fully see or comprehend.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

In fact, this October 14th brings a New Moon and Lunar Eclipse in Libra— a unique opportunity to simply allow the natural liturgy of the hours to fill our senses, psychic and otherwise, healing and recalibrating and edifying us in our passive, receiving state.

This Libra New Moon can lighten our load, take away the detritus that builds with the experience of living. It can offer us relief, giving us the opportunity for the transformative healing that comes with simply breathing. It offers us the space and the time to really be present with spirit and matter, and enjoy the unexpected surprises that bubble up when we release the illusion of our control.

All that this Libra New Moon asks us to do in exchange? Oh, only the hardest and most powerful thing ever.

Nothing.
