🌕 Weighing the Heart: A Libra Full Moon Reflection on Ma’at

by Heather Regal Salmon | Black Swan Temple

As the Libra Full Moon rises in luminous grace, we are invited to pause, reflect, and recalibrate. Libra, ruled by Venus, asks us to consider the harmony in our relationships, the beauty in our lives, and the integrity of our choices. It is a zodiacal dance of balance—between self and other, desire and duty, truth and love.

In the ancient Egyptian mysteries, this cosmic balance is personified by Ma’at—the goddess of truth, justice, harmony, and divine order. She is not merely a deity, but a living principle. In every judgment, in every breath, Ma’at is the feather against which the heart of the soul is weighed.

To live in Ma’at is to walk lightly and honestly upon the Earth. It is to honor reciprocity, uphold truth, and act in alignment with the sacred rhythms of the cosmos. This is not a concept we leave to the ancients—it is a daily practice that our world is yearning to remember.

Ma’at and the Full Moon Light

During this Full Moon in Libra, Ma’at’s presence is palpable. The Scales of Libra mirror her own—used in the sacred Judgment Scene from the Book of Coming Forth by Day (commonly called the Book of the Dead). In this powerful vision, the soul stands before 42 assessors and recites what were originally known as the Laws of Ma’at—a code of spiritual ethics used to measure the purity and alignment of the heart.

In more recent times, our fellow Priestesses of the Temple of Isis led by the late Lady Loreon Vigne, reinterpreted these ancient laws into positive affirmations during a pilgrimage in 1995, transforming them into what we now call the 42 Ideals of Ma’at.

They are not commandments, but sacred invitations:

They offer a path of awakening and remembrance, guiding us to live with clarity, compassion, and right relationship.

To support this remembering, we created an award-winning short film, 42 Ideals of Ma’at—a poetic and vibrational prayerformance meant to transmit these sacred principles through word, sound, and frequency.

A Rare Pilgrimage into Ma’at’s Temple

This year, we are honored to return to Egypt for our 5th Spiritual Pilgrimage, and this journey includes a truly rare offering:

We will visit one of the few remaining Temples of Ma’at, where the sacred Judgment Scene and the 42 Assessors are preserved in stunning condition.

This site is seldom visited by spiritual tours, making this moment not just historical—but deeply initiatory.

To stand before these ancient carvings…
To recite the Ideals of Ma’at where they were first inscribed…
Is to activate a soul remembrance that transcends time.

This experience is just one part of a profound ceremonial journey through the sacred sites of ancient Kemet, guided by the stars, held in sound, and steeped in devotion.

Walking Lightly, Living Truly

The path of Ma’at is not about perfection—it is about presence.
Every time we choose honesty over avoidance, harmony over conflict, love over fear—we draw closer to the feather.
We align ourselves with the sacred order that holds the cosmos together.

May this Libra Full Moon illuminate the truth in your heart.
May Ma’at guide your steps with grace, balance, and unwavering clarity.
And may we all walk forward together, in beauty and devotion.

With love,
