Time of Reconciliation – I & Thou
The twelve zodiacal signs have a deep inner order characterized by inter-relationships, color, Rays, sound and rhythms. The sun crossing the equator at spring and autumn equinoxes creates a division of the equatorial circle into two halves, marking the beginning of the signs Aries and Libra. Thus, two poles are born, with Aries as the upper and Libra as the lower pole. Aries symbolizes the emergence of the first impulse of life; Libra represents the full blossoming of life in the world. During Libra the beauty of nature is transparent and radiant, like the golden sun on a brilliant autumn day. The splendors of the modern civilization, big cities, industries and the finest luxuries of life are expressed through Libra. Food and drink, luxury, fine things, jewels, style and fashion all are Libra signatures.
In the Eastern wisdom Aries is noon and Libra is midnight. Libra is the material pole of life, where the outer side predominates and Spirit becomes condensed. Humanity’s inner and the outer life separate and become estranged. We sometimes feel lost in Libra.
Libra has compassion for us, though. Libra seeks to bring equilibrium to our lives. Equilibrium is a state of balanced tension. “The path of tension is the path of striving, the path of life.” (Brotherhood #44, Agni Yoga). Libra (Ray 3) offers the Light of Intelligent Wisdom to our lives. Libra tells us, “Begin each day with intentions for Goodwill. Goodwill creates equilibrium.”Goodwill creates Right Human Relations creates the peace and harmony humanity seeks. Libra is a pendulum moving side to side. Libra’s “pulsation” creates a restlessness in us, a search for our “other” half (I & Thou). Libra is the sign of “reconciliation – the balance between the principles of male/female within ourselves. Libra “reconciles.”
ARIES: A potent time is upon all of us these days. Strong desires & powerful emotions can act like ocean swells almost overcoming our ability to think. They give Aries, however, the courage to go where others won’t or can’t. I think you are hiding one of your precious gifts. Tend to relationships, love and care of another. Something’s regenerating.
