A Cosmic Connection: Embracing Libra Energy
Before we delved into the delectable feast, we began our gathering with a powerful invocation to invoke the energy of Libra. As the host, I believe in the transformative power of intention, and our incantation was a sacred ritual to set the tone for the evening.
Together, we recited a carefully crafted invocation, calling upon the cosmic forces of balance, harmony, and beauty. We visualized the Libra symbol, the scales, balancing perfectly in the night sky. This shared experience created a sense of unity and purpose, aligning our hearts and minds with the celestial energy we sought to embody.
Once the incantation had concluded, we turned our attention to our Soul Sparks cards, a unique tool designed to spark meaningful conversations and self-reflection. These beautifully crafted cards posed thought-provoking questions related to the Libra qualities of fairness, diplomacy, and aesthetics. As guests shared their insights and experiences, we deepened our understanding of ourselves and each other.
To further enrich our gathering, we were privileged to have a renowned astrologer, Anna Hull, collaborate with us on this project. Anna provided a captivating introduction to Libra, sharing fascinating insights into the sign's characteristics and how they manifest in our lives. Each guest received a personalized astrology chart, offering a deeper understanding of their own Libra placements and how they could leverage this energy for personal growth and fulfillment.
