Understanding a Libra
In the sign of Libra the universal mind – the soul –
expresses its genius for relationships, that is, its power to harmonize diverse
elements in a unified, organic way. Libra is the soul's power to express beauty
in all of its forms. And where is beauty if not within relationships? Beauty
does not exist in isolation. Beauty arises out of comparison – out of the just
relationships between different parts. Without a fair and harmonious
relationship there is no beauty, whether it be in art, manners, ideas or the
social or political forum.
There are two faculties humans have that exalt them
above the animal kingdom: their rational faculty (expressed in the Signs of
Gemini and Aquarius) and their aesthetic faculty, exemplified by Libra. Without
an aesthetic sense we would be a little more than intelligent barbarians. Libra
is the civilizing instinct or urge of the soul.
Beauty is the essence of what Librans all about. They
are here to beautify the world. One could discuss Libran's social grace, their
sense of balance and fair play, their ability to see and love another person's
point of view – but this would be to miss their central asset: their desire for
beauty.
No one – no matter how alone he or she seems to be – exits in isolation. The
universe is one vast collaboration of beings. Librans, more than most,
understand bearable and enjoyable.
A Libra is always the unconscious (and in some cases conscious) civilizer,
harmonizer and artist. This is a Libra's deepest urge and greatest genius. Librans
love instinctively to bring people together, and they are uniquely qualified to
do so. They have a knack for seeing what unites people – the things that
attract and bind rather than separate individuals.
