The Sun enters the sign of peacemaker, artist, and lover.
Ruled by Venus, the planet of arts, beauty, and love, this is a time to tend to our aesthetic sensitivity in order to cultivate outer and inner harmony. Exposing ourselves to art, beauty, and being in the company of those we love are all ways that can soothe us and help to develop serenity of spirit.
Libra’s evolutionary goal is to cultivate harmony and establish equilibrium as symbolized the scales. It is through curating and immersing oneself in beautiful and calming environments that Libra fosters a calm inner world. Outer harmony translates into inner harmony for Libra. Taking a moment to appreciate a glowing sunset or gaze at a beautiful painting are methods for the sign of the artist to feel calm.
Libra is associated with the seventh house (of marriage, equal relationships, and compromise) and is a cardinal sign which means that being in relationships (of all kinds) with those that we feel a sense of equalness with is essential for the sign of the peacemaker. Relationships with an openness to see one another’s point of view is a key ingredient for creating harmonious bonds; making peace with paradox is Libra’s aim.
Libra (season) is here to teach us that equality can be found among opposites, that love is a balancing act, and in order for relationships to bloom there must be mutual respect, acceptance, generosity and a willingness to compromise; harmony must be sustained through effort. Libra season also reminds us that sometimes all we need is to pause and appreciate the natural beauty around us to balance and calm our spirt.
