I find it so helpful to be reminded that Libra, as a Cardinal sign, initiates the “down and in” energy of Fall and Winter, the feminine/receptive time of the year. I love that the energy is at the same time inwardly reflective and deeply relational.
A great metaphor is to think of Libra energy as how we are called to BRIDGE our deeply personal self, the singular “intactness” that we are called to develop in Virgo, with the outer world, through relationship.
As Libra governs the range of relationships from partners in a business or creative venture, to our relationship with our spouse and children, to friends and enemies (and how quickly things can change in that domain), this can be a complex process. Ultimately, Libra asks us ultimately to go beyond our codependent tendencies, and to look soberly at the dynamics by which we tend to wound others, or feel continually wounded (taking us into Chiron territory).
Alternatively, where might we RISE into the territory of becoming “Wounded Healers” for each other? What would it look like to be tender and protective of each other’s wounded places - without slipping/sinking into codependency? What would sisterhood look like in this regard? Parenthood? Marriage? How might this restore a sense of the Sacred Feminine to our lives as women?
Another great symbol for Libra is the MIRROR, as in, noticing how all of our relationships ultimately mirror back to us the lessons that our soul is offering up, if we are willing to pay attention in this way. Are you feeling into LOVE as a mirror? Where has that mirror become cloudy or distorted?
Ultimately, we can perceive the entirely of our lives as a MIRROR, the whole ebb and flow of it offering us constant feedback about how aligned we are, in any given moment, with our own evolutionary path. Where we may have thrown ourselves off course; where it is still always possible to course-correct; what is in need of reconciliation and what our responsibility is in that regard.
Venus in Libra reminds us that at the heart of our serenity is the quality of our overall relationship to our own life, and how reconciled we feel towards ourselves, and by extension, the mirror that our loved ones, friends, and enemies provide. Whether we feel that life is “for” us or against us. How honest we are willing to be with ourselves. And ultimately, how much LOVE we are willing to let in.
