Middle Pillar Sounds: Libra Season
10.15.23
Spiritual, conscious, and creative hub supported by listening journeys designed to assist astrological and metaphysical, personal and collective energetic processes. The project was born in London in 2019 from the idea of that ‘sweet spot’, the Middle Pillar according to the Hermetic Principle of Polarity. That centered space to feel aligned with Oneness and our unique experience as humans. Music is the healing force, and how we experience it is the healing alchemy. We mix tarot and astrology to set the tone for each show. We humbly welcome you to this safe space of sound exploration. Enjoy!

As we transition into Libra season, a subtle shift in cosmic energies awakens within us a profound contemplation of relationships. It appears that the prevailing influence of Virgo, coupled with the celestial impact of Venus retrograde, is directing us toward a period of examination, inviting us to explore the intrinsic value embedded in our various connections—whether they be familial, romantic, friendly, professional or collective. It’s feels as if the celestial forces themselves are gently encouraging us to pose the question, “What kind of connections do I desire to cultivate in my life?”
The symbol of Libra, the scales, embodies the concept of justice, order, and balance that we can create in our relationships, starting with ourselves. It beckons us to listen to the voices that are sometimes drowned out by the fear of not being truly seen, loved, or accepted for who we are.
How many times have we caught ourselves saying “yes” when, deep down, we really wanted to say “no”? Libra season encourages us to delve into the intricacies of this inner-process. It invites us to understand the contradictions that govern our subconscious and manifest as differences and discomforts in our relationships. In the Libra archetype’s vision, when we are at peace with ourselves, when we reach the Zero Point where energy flows expansively and continuously, we become capable of attracting and sustaining relationships rooted in shared values. The dance between two forces no longer relies solely on mental willpower but responds to a vibrational frequency of universal love once aligned with it.
Questions arise: What values govern my existence, and do I share those values with those I connect with? Is my work a genuine manifestation of these values? It’s time to consciously choose which relationships we wish to nourish and elevate, and which ones we must release. As we embody fairness and walk the middle path, connected to ourselves, we become free to make choices.
Agreements and contracts call for revision to align with who we are and the direction we aspire to pursue. Surprises may shake our very foundations, bringing us face to face with the fundamental aspects of our earthly existence.
Amidst it all, bonds of love are woven in the name of forgiveness and acceptance. Relationships grow stronger, more authentic, and those left hanging on unresolved threads finally find closure and release.
In this show, our resident DJ Mika has curated a mix of sounds that will transport you to inner sanctuaries, facilitating introspective dialogues with oneself. It invites you to attune to the gentle whispers of your soul, translating your deepest desires into reality, and graciously sharing this transformative journey with others.
