Illuminating the Path Within: A Libra New Moon Reflection

There’s something sacred about the pause that follows a long season of struggle — the quiet knowing that the storm has finally softened. As the Libra New Moon passed, I found myself breathing differently, as if a battle I’d been fighting silently within me had finally come to rest.

October felt like an emotional and spiritual marathon. My faith was tested more than once, and yet, I kept receiving signs through music, podcasts, and random conversations — that everything was going to be all right. Those little whispers from the universe became lifelines, reminding me that even in doubt, I was being guided.

Still, the hardest battle was the one with my own mind. I’ve come to realize that mastering your thoughts isn’t a one-time victory — it’s a lifelong practice. It’s about learning to flow, realign, and redirect your energy every time you drift off course. This season reminded me that alignment isn’t about perfection; it’s about returning.

And now, with my spirit finally feeling clear again, I’m energized to step into something new for my business — something both terrifying and exciting. Fear and faith can coexist, but only one can lead.

I’m choosing faith.

Balancing the Scales of Energy and Connection

Last year around this time, my lessons were rooted in friendship. This year, they’ve revealed themselves through family. Both have taught me what it means to give from overflow rather than depletion.

I’ve learned that not every connection deserves continuous access to your energy. Some people drain you because you’re standing in a place that no longer fits the person you’ve become. My sense of self has evolved, and with it, my understanding of what support and alignment truly mean.

Family can be loving and still not nourishing. Sometimes, pretending to be supportive is easier than genuinely standing in love. I’ve found peace in accepting that truth. I’ve overextended myself too many times — traveling long distances for others, staying on phone calls that didn’t fill me, being available to those who weren’t available for me or my children.

But motherhood has taught me the value of peace. I no longer ask my kids to carry emotional labor that isn’t theirs. When something disrupts our harmony, I can finally say, this isn’t working for my family, and walk away. The relief that follows is a weight I can’t quite describe — only gratitude for finally letting go.

The Beauty in Being Different

I’ve always been comfortable being myself — curious, creative, and maybe a little unconventional. I wasn’t interested in what others thought I should do. While my parents encouraged sports or “practical” paths, I was the one joining anime club, color guard, and violin — and spending hours journaling, writing, and drawing in the quiet corners of my world.

Those small passions became my refuge. They were how I learned to translate my inner world into color, sound, and words. I see now that those skills weren’t escaping — they were the blueprint of who I was becoming.

For a long time, I mistook my uniqueness for isolation, but now I see it was preparation. I was never meant to blend in — I was meant to bring color to spaces that forgot their hue.

Leaning back into my creativity has reawakened something sacred within me. Through exploring my interests and skills, I’ve found my purpose again — teaching, creating, and building services that reflect who I truly am. Being different is not rebellion; it’s alignment with divine design.

Faith, Discernment, and the Language of the Soul

Recently, I watched an interview with Katt Williams that stayed with me. He spoke about his relationship with God since he was five years old, and how, even as a child, he could sense when certain scriptures were being misused — not through comparison, but through spirit. That hit home for me.

I don’t have many memories before five, but I remember that same knowing. I grew up surrounded by different religious teachings, yet my spirit always discerned what felt true. Over time, I learned that faith isn’t about belonging to a specific doctrine — it’s about listening to how God speaks to you.

Studying religion has shown me that truth is often scattered — half revealed in one place, completed in another. But intuition connects the pieces. It’s how I’ve made every major decision in my life these past five years.

People might not understand how I move, but discernment has never led me astray.

When I look back at 2019 and see where I stand now, I can trace every blessing to the moments I followed what I felt instead of what I was told.

Intuition, Near-Death, and the Gift of Sensitivity

As a child, I had near-death experiences that I didn’t really understand until now. Each time, I remember the light — peaceful, still, and familiar. I used to think I was just lucky to survive. Now, I see it as part of my awakening.

That sensitivity, that attunement to energy and truth, has always been with me. When I ignored it, I always regretted it — those were the hardest lessons. It’s why I follow my intuition so blindly now. I’ve learned that intuition is God’s whisper within us, and when we silence it, we lose our way back to ourselves.

It’s not something reserved for the few. Everyone has it — that quiet nudge, that inner pull. We just need to create enough stillness to hear it.

The Scales Realigned

As this chapter closes, I feel a deep sense of peace — a full knowing of who I am and why I’ve been prepared in the way I was. I understand now that the challenges were not punishments; they were molding.

When you ask God for growth, you must be ready for the shedding that follows. Transformation rarely comes wrapped in comfort. But if you can see the value in the lesson, you’ll see the reward waiting behind it.

This season, I call The Moon Illuminating Your Path. It’s the moment when the light finally catches up to your truth. I’ve learned that we all hold power — divine, unshakable power. When life strips you bare, that’s when you finally see it.

Once you do, never let it go. Protect it, nurture it, and remember — there is only one enemy, and one Savior.

You are never alone in your alignment.
