What can you tap into to increase personal power in your life?
The energy of balance and fairness. With Pluto in Libra, your attempts to create harmony in your surroundings are significant, especially in situations where you lack control. You might strive for calmness and fairness in the world and your relationships, even when you are in a state of upheaval. This can lead to codependency and people-pleasing behaviors. Recognize that you must cultivate calmness and harmony within yourself first, then extend it to your surroundings and the way you lead your life.
Your recipe for subconscious healing?
Focus on what you value and what brings you peace, rather than trying to live by every societal rule or expectation. For instance, you may value quality time spent with loved ones. You feel loved and are loving others well when you spend time with them during important events. You might break cultural norms, such as being late to work or missing less significant events, in favor of what truly matters to you. This approach helps you avoid codependency and people-pleasing. Live in alignment with your values, not societal norms, to bring about calmness within yourself.
The shadow side of this energy?
You may struggle with constant attempts to create harmony, leading to internal conflict and self-doubt. If you try to meet every societal expectation, you might feel down on yourself and frustrated. The need for stimulus or relationships can lead to unhealthy behaviors like social drinking, drugs, or interpersonal drama. These activities might seem relaxing but ultimately drain your energy. Instead, clarify what’s genuinely important to you and make decisions based on those values. This will help you achieve genuine self-esteem and love for who you are, how you're showing up in the world, and the type of relationships and work you engage in.
