Libra – Balance, Harmony, I & Thou & a Question at the End

We are under the influence and light of Libra – the sign in the heavens ruling relationships, marriage. In Libra we seek balance and harmony, we see polarities, we are called to make a choice (“let choice be made,” says Libra). We presently see polarities between governments, leaders and nations but especially experience polarity within relationships. Always when there is polarity and tension, it is the tension that creates (calls us to) “attention.”

In relationships, under the jurisdiction of Libra, polarities, if the purpose is not integrated (male/female, light, dark, etc.), there is confusion and conflict and within conflict, at its very heart, the seeds of a new harmony hide away. This is especially important to know in relationships – difficulty and disagreements in relationships are a process of learning. 

Out of conflict, if one is aware, eventually a new harmony emerges. However, we don’t know what the new harmony will be while experiencing the phase of conflict. One may feel the conflict, confusion and chaos first. Relationships are not only battlegrounds. They are training grounds where we learn how to interact, communicate, ask questions, listen, are curious, and over time, cooperate, love and serve each other. In relationships we learn how to be in relationships and we also learn who we are. That is the purpose of relationships – I & Thou. 

Libra is a cardinal sign; thus Librans are leaders (like Aries, Cancer and Capricorn). Librans can be very sensitive to others’ needs. Sometimes this overwhelms their fragile inner ecosystems. And if the situation is too fraught with disharmony, they must turn away from conflict, needing to choose cooperation and compromise instead. Librans are very social, the diplomats and the artists. They are perceptive, and seek multiple relationships, for it is through relationship Libra learns how to balance self with the “other.” 

We are all learning how to balance, how to recognize the harmony that comes forth from conflict, and how to create Goodwill and Right Relations with each other and Earth’s kingdoms during the month of Libra. This is the balance we must achieve before the mysterious dark waters, the reorientation, and the nine personality tests of Mars all begin in Scorpio. 

We enter deeper into autumn, the days become darker, soon it’s Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Advent, then the festivals of light…light shining for us in the darkness. In reference to light? It’s not a comet! What is 3I/Atlas? 

ARIES: When the Sun is in Libra, your focus is on the other, on relationships, fairness, interactions, your identity and passions. Are you searching for how to be and enjoy yourself more? Self-expression comes forth as creative, passionate and entertaining. This is how you’re to be in the world now. Careful though. Others may feel you’re glowing a bit too brightly and may want to compete. Let them win. You know you’re the first and the best. Keep playing. Then it’s time for a pause. 

TAURUS: Your focus on work is becoming quite profound, seeking to know what’s in the heavens and attempting to reconcile information hidden and secretive. Seeking when the new world, the blue world will appear. You’re also attempting to resolve financial problems and create a secure future for everyone. Aware of family lineages, you maintain the past, present and future simultaneously. Of all the signs, you are the most composed and prepared. Careful of things electrical in the home. Rest more. 

GEMINI: It seems as if Uranus, planet of light beams from the future is illuminating you from within. The result is a golden light emanates from your eyes. With Uranus in Gemini, the sudden revelations appear in your thoughts. Responsibility then begins to emerge as to your tasks ahead. When others come in contact with you, they can be puzzled. What about you is different, they wonder? Your personality light dims as your Soul light shines forth. Observe how you feel. Study Castor & Pollux. Which brother brightens? Which dims? 

CANCER: Working with your finances and resources becomes a bit ponderous until the realization appears that you want to use all that you have to create a future that brings humanity back to the garden. This wish is for you, family, friends and all who orbit your way of life. You wish this for those who will come to where you are seeking shelter. Opportunities for more resources fill your mind with ideas as you research and work with others, each of whom have their specific gifts. Nurture them.

LEO: Are you busy with expanding your home, with details such as how you are living each day, with this and that, here and there? Are you projecting yourself everywhere in order to participate in various activities where others recognize and applaud your creativity? This is good for your self-identity and it’s also good if you’re going to lead pilgrimages, run meetings, group discussions, and community matters. You always had leadership qualities but now they are really seen and heard and your ideas are applied. Remain humbly in each moment. 

VIRGO: Uranus, planet of unexpected ideas, thoughts, hopes and wishes is visiting your house of ambition, and your mind is internally figuring out what tasks you want to accomplish in the coming months. You seek to achieve much this month. You are busy working behind the scenes doing research perhaps or tending the ill and weary or reading books on religion or seeking respite and seclusion in your garden. All of these prepare you for the Garden of Humanity needing to be built. 

LIBRA: Uranus, planet of things unexpected, things unusual and sudden, is in your house of travel and I wonder if you are traveling and I hope so to a place where museums are on every street corner and restaurants are filled with locals and where you’re staying is luxurious, because you need care and tending and time away from work because you push yourself to limits and beyond. You are probably learning something new, with colleagues, and going out each night. Have fun. Sleep well. Be kind. 

SCORPIO: Are you realizing how important your creativity and responsibilities are with the work you are doing? It is a culmination, up to this point, of your ambitions and achievements. More responsibility may come forth that allows you to future develop your self-identity. Do not shy away from this. You can assume your new creative identity with recognition and  grace. This will be recognized by others. Grace and equanimity and Right Speech. Cultivate these. 

SAGITTARIUS: Work should become very busy, with new structures and disciplines. You may feel overworked, with no room for your usual creative and playful endeavors. Something from the past will reveal itself. It will accelerate your intuition and ability to see with clarity. Perhaps you’re thinking of distant places, people, things, events. You long for what held you in loving care. Let this tempt you as long as it can. You’ll assess and then decide.

CAPRICORN: You will notice the ones you love bringing forth their creative self-identity. They may pull away from you a bit. This is temporary. Be aware of this passage of time and have the intention to allow them freedom. Simultaneously, your task is to be closer and kinder to family and partner while focusing on  your creative arts. You will reap many benefits from this. With more kind thoughts, more freedom of contact, more and more love is released. This nourishes you, which you need now. 

AQUARIUS: The planets are lined up in your house of thinking, speaking, communication, interactions. Know how important kindness is. And that if asking for help, offering gratitude beforehand. If you are an artist, this is a time when you should be in your studio or at your computer creating inspired works. Do consider this in between investing, those calling you to love them, or simply tending to the cats and children. It’s a good time. Use it well.

PISCES: You’re finding yourself underground like Persephone. Or back in time, interacting with people from past events. You’ve been given an opportunity to fulfill certain hopes, wishes and dreams. As you perform your work, you realize a level of pleasure, appreciation and success. It’s taken years to come to this place in time and space. Those you work with recognize your gifts and skills and are appreciative. Because you touch their hearts. This is Soul work.
