✧ CEREMONY OF EQUINOX BALANCE

0º Libra New Moon + Virgo Eclipse Portal Closure

As the celestial axis stills at 0º Libra, we enter the exquisite symmetry of the Equinox—a moment suspended between light and dark, inhale and exhale, being and becoming. This sacred pause invites us to close the Virgo Eclipse Portal with reverence and clarity, shedding the weight of unconscious service and overextension. Through intentional ritual and elemental presence, we now anchor the zero-point of relational balance. In this 44-minute ceremony, we invoke the archetype of Libra not as a sign of indecision, but as the sovereign architect of harmonic reciprocity. Let this be a breath-based return to coherence, where the scales are not tipped by preference, but stilled by presence.

Duration: 44 minutes
Items Needed:

• Two candles (white + black or gold + silver)

• A small mirror or polished stone

• A bowl of water with rose petals or salt

• A blank piece of paper + pen

• Libra glyph or sigil (optional, can be drawn)

• Your breath and intention

PHASE I — Purification of the Portal (Virgo Completion)

(Timing: first 10 minutes)

• Light both candles at the same time, left then right.
  These represent solar (action) and lunar (reflection) balance.

• Speak aloud:

  “The Virgo portal is closed.
  The distortion is named.
  The service is purified.
  What was sacrificed unconsciously—I now release."

  • Gaze into the mirror. Ask:

    • What did I cleanse in the eclipse corridor?

    • Where did I over-serve or lose coherence?

    • Where did I fail to honor myself or my emotions?

Write 3 phrases beginning with:

“I am no longer available for…”

4. Drop the paper into the bowl of water. Let it dissolve.

PHASE II — Anchor the Zero-Point (Libra Ingress)

(Timing: next 15 minutes)

1. Place your palms over your heart. Inhale deeply and say:

2. “0º Libra.
   Zero point.
   The stillpoint between breath and choice.
   I enter the symmetry. I receive to step into balance.”

3. With each inhale, name a polarity in your life:

   • Give/receive

   • Speak/listen

   • Alone/together

   • Seen/seeing

4. With each exhale, say:

   “I honor both. I carry neither. I center.”

Do this for 7 breath cycles.

4. Speak aloud:

5. “I do not choose sides.
   I choose resonance.
   This is the birth of new relating.”

PHASE III — Libra Intention Casting

(Timing: final 15 minutes)

1. On a new paper, write down intentions for relational balance:

   • “I call in relationships that mirror my peace.”

   • “I release contracts that rely on distortion.”

   • “I meet others from my center, not my wound.”

2. Draw a simple Libra glyph (♎) or the sigil from earlier.
   Place the paper under the mirror.

3. Final breathwork (5 minutes):

4. Inhale: “I open to symmetry.”
   Exhale: “I remain in sovereignty.”
   Repeat slowly.

CLOSING DECLARATION

Stand between the two candles. Hold your mirror.
Look not at your face, but your light reflected.

Speak aloud:
“This is my balance.
This is my center.
This is my zero-point origin.
As within, so without in all my relations and creations.”

Blow out both candles simultaneously—as a signal to the field your intention of settling into balanced reception.

May this ceremony not end in silence, but ripple outward in the way you speak, love, and listen. Return here not just at the Equinox, but whenever you need to remember the symmetry within.

Let silence follow. Protect your Peace.

In Breath and Stillness
