“Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy: the mad daughter of a wise mother.”
Voltaire
Libra is a cardinal, masculine air sign ruled by Venus and associated with the Seventh House of commitment, partnerships, and marriage. Represented as the Scales, Libra’s cardinal nature comes from its ability to weigh all pros and cons. Although expressed with masculine drive, Libra’s air qualities tend to take over. Libra values partnerships above all else, so its leadership capabilities heavily depend on social relations. At times, Libra may come across as codependent or indecisive. If anything, Libra wants to ensure that every decision is reciprocal! Libra is all about keeping it 50/50, in true Scales fashion.*

The image above is “The Constellations and the Stars: The Northern Hemisphere” By Albrecht Dürer from 1515. The images come from a variety of sources. The large engravings at the top of the pages were my inspiration for these pages. They are scanned from the book “Symbols Signs and Signets” by Ernst Lehner.
