Sometimes it’s important to luxuriate, to have a leisurely pace as we move through an experience.

Of course, when we’re enchanted by a beautiful event, a gathering filled with sybaritic pleasures, or a meaningful tête-à-tête, we want to savor every moment, steeping ourselves in its richness, and proceed in an unhurried tempo.

It’s the intense experiences—those that inspire deep stirrings, that call forth powerful and even uncomfortable thoughts and feelings—that we usually want to rush through. We want them behind us so that we don’t have to feel their rattlings, face their siren’s call, and galvanize the courage that it takes to make the changes towards which they are pointing us.

Being present is a present, a gift that allows us to root in to the moment, to plant ourselves in the here, and to truly hear. Being in the moment creates a stillness that allows us to be aware of the movement, whether of a tree rustling, a child emotion’s shifting, or the waves of our mind’s chatter. And in that knowingness we discover a new ability to wayfind, to navigate our lives with deeper vision, greater confidence, and a stillness that taps us into reservoirs of beauty rather than just pools of fear and consternation.

As the week begin so does a new season. The Equinox greets us early in the day and with that it marks a seasonal shift, from summer to fall in the Northern Hemisphere and from winter to spring in the Southern Hemisphere. As we embark on this new period—rife with shifts in weather, the hues painted by nature, and our energy levels—we balance a ‘hello’ to the new with a ‘goodbye’ for the season just passed, whose lived experiences and reflections are at once in our past and yet forging how we see the world and move forward in it.

New Moons are times of beginnings, opportunities to connect with all that is potential and plant seeds for the birth of that which we want to create. As this New Moon is in Libra, it’s a good time to survey our relationships and see how we may encourage them to flourish so that they can grace our lives even more. Using the image of the Scales—the symbol for Libra—as your guide, weigh and assess the value of your existing relationships, considering their strengths and weaknesses.

It’s such an “interesting” week, one that features a delicate dance between honoring both the concrete and the diffuse, one in which we’re called to simultaneously go with the flow and yet also abide by the literal and figurative rules of the road. We may find ourselves questioning, defining, and refining what we believe to constitute truth and reality.

Drift. 

If I think of words to describe the energetics of the week, drift is one of the ones that I think of first. 

Why?

With both the Sun and Mars opposing dreamy Neptune this week, let alone there being a Pisces Full Moon, we may find ourselves called into a softer and more flowing energy.
