I think this Libra season pulls focus on our cycles and patterns, and asks us to reflect on ourselves, as seen through others. We’re being asked to be brutally honest with ourselves, to cut the BS, and see our very own quintessence. That is, what is our purest essence? How do we uniquely shine in this Earthly experience, and what are we being shown about this through our cycles?

Perhaps we are being shown as a society how disconnected we are, and the tools needed in order to repair. It’s like the Venus Cazimi in Libra shows us where we could be, and the solar eclipse in Scorpio shows us where we are.

When we are confronted with a painful experience or hard truth, it often doesn’t cut deep enough to implement change the first time around. It seems to be an unspoken rule of three, at least speaking from my own experience, before we actually process the event enough to determine how to respond.

I imagine this week is what being sucked into a black hole would feel like. Bear with me, I understand the physics of what I’m about to say doesn’t make sense, but until someone gets sucked into a black hole and comes back to tell the tale, I’ll use my imagination.

We are not truly controlled by fear or anything else, and our freedom exists when we are able to accept this. We each have the astounding ability to be our own authority.
