SUN IN LIBRA

When we watch a sunset, we wave goodbye to sun - it dies off into the end of a day. Two half’s of a sky bleed into the horizon as the EGO of the zodiac gives itself over the mysteries of night. Libra knows itself only in these thresholds of halfs. Initiating the equinox every September - after the skitter-scatter of a mutable VIRGO season, LIBRA swoops in to recalibrate us with a moment equal in both day and night force. Libra understands light and shadow and as a VENUS ruled sign, balance and harmony of these polarities is their fundamental urge. You won’t find a LIBRA who isn’t tactfully capable of weighing in on both sides, sensitive like a feather for anything that tips the scales. Because of this, Libras also have a delicate eye for composition and are often aesthetically adept. With a knack for design, fashion or artistic grace - whether its a concept, a conversation, an interior design choice or a dance - they understand the symmetry and asymmetry of lines and curves and how beauty can click into the nervous system...in the same way watching a sunset feels so good. LIBRA’s also try to create this harmony in their relationships and seek to achieve wholeness through counterbalance with others - they value justice, and the ability for two parties to diplomatically agree on a fair framework. It is a heady air sign, and so LIBRA’S are often great conversationalists, debators and mediators. In a lot of ways, the SUN struggles to be on this side of the zodiac, it said to be in FALL, as it’s strong sense of self can get washed out by an urge to accommodate other’s. LIBRA’S may struggle with people pleasing habits - the ego will undermine itself in order to keep the peace in relationships. This is why LIBRA is opposite ARIES. ARIES has a strong self-interest and often doesn’t need others to define itself, while LIBRA often seeks cues from others to know who they are. The goal of any LIBRA should be to cultivate a relationship to the inner-other so they can show up to relationships strongly resourced in self-respect. LIBRA is the sign where SATURN is strong in dignity - and so this sign must learn how to establish boundaries around their own needs. Dion fortune talks about how when people get married, there are four people who are giving their vows - each person and their inner other.
