Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac. This watercolour illustration of the Libran astrological energy is available as an art notecard or a print. The text below, describing the symbolism of the zodiac art, is included under the image on the print and comes with the card as a removable insert.
The Air of Libra is the wind of indecision, of weighing pros and cons in a search for harmony. As Libra relates to another one-on-one, he is trying to balance the scales at the same time as he is occupying one side of them. In his concern for fairness, he may err in favour of the other person for a time - and the scale tips - only to oscillate back to himself in an attempt to redress the imbalance. His music manifests his love of beauty and harmony and sometimes outweighs other considerations. Within himself, Libra seeks to balance the Sun and Moon, Light and Dark, and the inner male and female.
Libra: Cardinal Air
The Sun is in Libra between September 24 and October 23
The cards in this series are illustrations of the "pure" energies represented by the Signs. In anyone's birth chart, these energies interact and mitigate each other's expressions. Thus, no one expresses "purely" the energies described - although some people will find an uncanny affinity with the personification if that Sign is strongly emphasized in their chart.
The choice of male or female personification is based on the traditional association of Fire and Air signs with the masculine and of Water and Earth with the feminine. Like all of the imagery involved, this needs to be understood in symbolic terms.
Many people prefer to use the cards for the principle illustrated rather than for the zodiac sign.
