Selene's Ritual for the New Moon in Libra

On the evening of October 10, consider your closest relationships. The Libra new moon does not want sweeping statements, it wants specific commitments to relational tending. Identify one specific action you will take in the coming month to improve a relationship that matters to you.

Next, identify one specific imbalance in your relational life, somewhere you are giving more than receiving, or vice versa, and commit to addressing it. Libra is the sign of justice as well as harmony.

Finally, hold a piece of rose quartz or rhodonite during the lunation. Selene's traditional practice for Libra new moons is to spend time with someone you love during the new moon window, relational presence as ritual.

Sit with these

Reflection Prompts

Selene's traditional practice is to spend time with these prompts during the lunation's 48-hour energetic window. Write rather than think them through, Boland's Moonology work consistently finds that written reflection produces clarity that mental rumination does not.

1.What specific relational tending am I committing to in the coming month?
2.Where in my life am I giving more than receiving, or vice versa?
3.What relational beauty wants cultivation?
4.What partnership intention is asking for declaration?
5.What just exchange needs my attention?
