In love of beauty, we enter into the realm where the life force of Libra draws its breath.
Throughout our civilization, poets, storytellers, painters, and philosophers have been inspired by love and beauty. The great artists of the past were aware that human life can be full of turmoil and sorrow, but they had a remedy for this, and the name of that remedy was beauty.
Beauty is a visitor from another world, we can do nothing with it, except contemplate its pure radiance.
Libra’s symbol is the scales used by Astraea, Lady Justice, to orchestrate the divine dance between the two polarities: darkness and light, positive and negative, feeling and reason – both must exist in order to keep the world in harmony.
Libra is that current that keeps the flow of energies in synch.
Ruled by the grace-bestowing Venus, she is culture, aesthetics, refinement, and harmony, weather in art, objects, nature, or people. The lure of color, shape, form, texture and the intriguing sound of music or a voice pushes Libra’s emotional buttons and brings them creative inspiration.
