WHAT’S IN A PARTNERSHIP?
This New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra is all about balancing opposites and witnessing how healthy relating affects the process. We have to remember: IT’S. A. PROCESS. But it doesn’t have to be daunting. The key takeaways are to go slow, try new ways of communicating, and hold your ground when it comes to standing up for yourself and your needs. In doing this, we don’t have to see the “other” as the enemy. Likely, the “other” is someone very dear to you, even if it might not be so apparent. So how can you hold space for harmony even when there is tension? Perhaps you walk away for a bit, breathe thoroughly for a few moments, or come to the bridge of meditation for clarity.
If you are feeling an urge to do any of these things, it’s apparent that a rebalance is needed. Good for you for getting to this point of realization. You should be proud of yourself that you are here! Now is the time for peace and harmony when it comes to opposites, but commitment and effort are necessary from both sides. That’s how you meet in the middle.
Negotiations will be effective right now, so stay in it. Not only will your voice be heard, but you have the opportunity to listen to others, too. Take your time and speak up, but make sure you are giving space and truly listening when it’s someone else’s turn to talk. Create an environment where you and the ones you are in communication with feel safe in asserting needs. This is where listening with intention comes in.
Anytime chaos prevails, come back down to earth. Feel your feet softly planting. Remind yourself that you and everyone else are all human and we have different paths. What joins us is that we are on a path in the first place. We have much in common that we tend to lose sight of in the heat of the moment.
What is healthy relating to you? How does it occur? What does it feel like? Will you remember what it is the next time you need it? The process of healthy relating morphs with time and with the people involved. Now is your opportunity to go with the flow in these processes so you can have an idea of what works and what doesn’t, so you can continue the process as it keeps evolving.
