At this point in the year, as the Sun and Moon join the Scales of Libra that hang in these skies, the nights and days balance equally—in fact, we’ll be gathering at the same moment of the Equinox!
This zodiac sign of Libra is often popularly mischaracterized as a psychological realm of people-pleasing or quid pro quo. But the capacity to calibrate one’s own nature with another and to find the just measure goes beyond the personal to the social as well. What is “right” strength? How do we find harmony and peace in a world of disequilibrium?
The lights are joined closely by Mercury and Venus traveling together in the late degrees of Virgo. In this place, Hermes (Mercury) brings his bright perspective together with Venus’ ardor to analyze and support the measurement of justice. In early October, Venus begins to fly into the Libra Sun, which together form a trine to Mars in Gemini and Saturn in Aquarius: a Grand Air Trine to celebrate society, communication, and justice. With the Supreme Court opening day on October 3, perhaps the idea of the “just measure” will reinstate itself on the national as well as the personal level.
Note: If you have a copy of your own horoscope, it will be possible to trace these currents to your own experiences. For more information on reading your own natal chart, you can purchase the recording of How to Read Your Own Horoscope 101.
About Carol Ferris
Carol Ferris is a full-time consulting astrologer, teacher, and private tutor of astrology with four decades of experience. She completed her MA in Interdisciplinary Studies at Marylhurst University. The title of her thesis, The Sky's Body: Constellations and Medicine reflects her ongoing interest in nature-based medicine and governance thinking of the ancient Near East and Chinese philosophers and astrologers. Carol's work with the multivalent symbols of astrology is interwoven into work with dreams and active imagination. Over the years, Carol has seen these two frameworks —astrological mapping and Jungian imagery —as mutually beckoning guides to understand how all life, in its exquisite specificity, rises from a unified field.
