Libra’s life lessons involve learning to make peace with those around us, as well as our environment, establishing a sense of order and balance in our lives, and recognizing the value of partnerships.

Make a wish list for what you want to manifest in your personal relationships such as to spend more time with your family, more time for yourself or more time with someone you love.

If you are single, this would be a great New Moon energy to set your intention for new love and partnership. Be really clear as to what type of qualities you are looking for in a mate and send the intention and prayer into the Universe. Then detach and make choices and actions in alignment with your new intention. If you are with someone already, it is a good energy to solidify or strengthen the bond. Create time to be with one another and communicate the needs and wants within the relationship.

Attract a New Relationship/Soul Mate

Write it down on paper – list of ALL the qualities you wish for this person to have. Be specific and include details.  Have your list visible so you can read it over frequently, perhaps even placing it on your refrigerator or bathroom mirror.

Any attribute/qualities on your list that you don’t do well, begin working on changing them -Remember that you are the magnet and so you must become what you desire in another.

Focus on your inner happiness – find joy and balance in your life by reflecting through prayer or meditation.

Learn to say no and be thankful – Don’t settle for someone who is less than your energetic match. Even if they have not arrived yet, be thankful for this person who is coming to you in divine timing.

Remove any timeline - Get out of the way of the universal energy that is now working on fulfilling your request. Know that you do not need to do anything. This is key…  Our human nature is to think we must do something in order to get what they want. Actually, everything in alignment with your soul’s true desire comes effortlessly.

Qualify and Decide – Potential or Suspect?

Prior to your first real date you must ask the questions listed below and be prepared to answer the same questions in return. Bottom line – Don’t jump. These question where designed to simply assist you in making the right decision to move forward

1.       What are your goals and aspiration in life?

2.       What have you accomplished so far that you’re proud of?

3.       What would you like to accomplish that you haven’t yet?

4.       Where would you like to travel to that you haven’t been?

5.       What’s your favorite addition? (this question is worded as such to entice a true answer)

6.       What was your relationship like with your mother/father? (In all likelihood any negative answer may result in their karma being played out with you)

7.       What part did you play in the breakup of your last relationship? (it takes two.. this is worded to see if that person has come to terms with the relationship)

Only when we realize and accept that we are responsible for creating our own karma, can we choose to change it by making better choices this time around. This is the essential meaning of the old adage: “What goes around, comes around.” We can get off the “wheel of karma” by making better choices when similar situations come up. 

The Full Moon in Aries on October 22, 2010, offers for the second month in a row, the opportunity to work on your current relationships. Specifically addressing “What do I need?” This is a wonderful opportunity to break old karmic patterns and clear the past by addressing what you feel you are getting or not getting. This would be the time to speak up for yourself and begin the process of transformation.

What is Relationship Karma

Relationship karma operates in all our relationships and starts in each life with childhood family interactions. Relationships are where we learn fundamental lessons in life through contact with karmic connections and soulmates. Karmic connections or soul groups are people we feel instantly familiar with. We have a sense of connection stemming from a previous life or lives either in a positive or negative setting.

 Soulmates are two people who are extremely compatible on most levels. The connection is usually extensive, spanning several lives and for the most part positive. We can have several soulmates, and they can be in incarnation with us or acting as guides for our present life, helping us and encouraging us from the other side. Our soulmates have generally shared many experiences with us and know us well. All these contacts and relationships are usually intensely emotional, and some of them can conjure up strong feelings either positive or negative, all for a purpose.

These experiences and connections happen to provide opportunities to develop the qualities and characteristics we are most in need of. Power issues are particularly common in relationship karma. People get drawn into dependent relationships where one person holds all the power, and tension often arises when it is time for the other person to take back his or her power.

The spiritual purpose of partnership is to develop wholeness within us, to create freedom and take back or release our power over someone. We are a combination of male and female energies and our challenge is to harmonize the male and female within in each lifetime. This is the key to true balance and spirituality. We each learn our lessons differently because we are each at our own level of growth. So much of relationships is sorting out chaos and emotions and learning to love ourselves. On a higher level, every problem is self-caused and therefore must be self-redeemed. We must awaken from our complacency. In doing this, we begin to see the spiritual behind the physical and our lives open to new awareness.

This Libra/Aries Full Moon will remind you that within relationships there are three person’s present. The I, the You, and the We – all with unique needs of their own.  The key to your success here is to hold your own personal power. You will experience flexibility in changing emotions, happiness, trust, being courageous, able to make decisions, generosity, relaxation, able to handle crisis well, be self reliant, have good self-esteem, be respectful of yourself and others, honorable, enjoy activities and good food.

One way to identify your blocks and where you are holding yourself back is to use this Moon energy to reflect upon your relationship to our own internal power, asking yourself these questions.

• How do I define personal power?
• Do I feel connected to a sense of personal power? If not, why?
• Are there certain situations or people with whom I am involved that usually lead to my abandoning my personal power?
• How can I move forward with a stronger connection in my personal power that will harness my ability to use it constructively to achieve my goals?
• Who are my role models for the benefit use of power? What characteristics do they display?
• Who uses power in a way that I find destructive? What characteristics do they display?

Meditation 

 Sit or lie down for some quiet time. Imagine a bright light – the sun, the moon or a candle. Imagine this bright yellow light on fire, radiating. Allow this yellow fire image to move into your belly/stomach area also known as your Third Chakra. Keep your thoughts returning to this center of light into your belly. Then imagine the rays of yellow light beginning to radiate from your Third Chakra throughout all your internal organs, then down to your arms, hands, legs, feet, and head, bringing bright vitality throughout your entire body. Breathe deep. Imagine any stagnant energy, blocks leaving your body.

Crystal Healing

Place two clear quartz crystals with points, one above your head, one below your feet- making sure they point toward your body. Place a yellow stone (citrine, tourmaline, topaz, amber, gold, tiger’s eye) on your Third Chakra. Take a deep breath, allowing the energy to assist in releasing stagnant energy. This can be done in conjunction with your meditation

Full Moon Release

Write down on a piece of paper what it is you would like to release, then burn that paper and watch your blocks, going up in flames and into smoke. It is very simple, just very important to please wait until after the Full Moon.  

Some suggested goals or wishes as it relates to this Full Moon might be:

 “I want the fear of change easily lifted from me”

“I want the fear of stepping out and asking for what I need easily lifted for me”

“I easily remove all self-defeating thoughts about myself and the lack of awareness of others totally lifted from me”

“I want to release what I am doing or not doing that is keeping me stuck”

“I easily release my anger around ____ (fill in the blank)”

“I easily restore my personal power and define it”
