LIBRA MOON |
|
Libra is the
ruler of the Natural 7th House
which deals primarily with relationships. Moon Sign placement
deals with our emotions, so do the math on that one. In other
words, someone with a Libra Moon is NOT going to be a loner. The
need for a relationship will be very strong and without one the person
will most likely feel lost. However, since these folks tend to be
very "nice", albeit charming, they usually don't have much trouble
gathering a circle of friends, especially if the Moon is also their 11th
House. (Remember that Libra is ruled by
Venus.) Libra is
very understanding and has the innate ability to walk the proverbial
mile in someone else's moccasins. They listen well and always
strive for balance and equality. For those that want them
to take sides this can be annoying because Libra is very likely to point
out the other side of the story, whether they want to hear it or not.
Their sense of understanding can also make them indecisive since they
want to be fair to everyone. Nonetheless, they generally
have a calming effect on others and are very handy to have around in an
emergency. As a Cardinal
Sign they will take charge and do everything they can to make sure
everyone is looked after. They'll be first on the scene of a
disaster to help out in any way that they can. They are naturally more defined than most and have a great affinity
for the fine arts. They'll derive much emotional satisfaction from
beauty in general, whether it's great literature, fine art, symphonic
music, drama in it's various forms and so forth. Without being in
touch with some form of the more civilized elements of life they'll
experience a void that relationships alone cannot satisfy. If
given a matter of minutes to escape a nuclear blast, flash flood, or
tornado, after family members, these folks would grab their favorite
painting, leaded crystal wine glasses or perhaps their first printing
copy of Gone with the Wind. It was the Libras of the world who hauled their china and lace
tablecloths across the Atlantic on the Mayflower or across the
plains in a covered wagon, even if it meant leaving that extra barrel of
flour behind. Forgetting that everyone doesn't have the same sense
of fairness that they do, they would naturally assume that surely their
fellow travelers wouldn't let them starve or, at worst, they could
barter one of their finer possessions for whatever they might need.
(This would possibly work if they found a Pisces with a well-stocked
larder, but in many respects that's a contradiction of terms.) For all their need for a relationship and
ability to see all sides of a story their classic weakness is discussing
their own feelings. As an
Air Sign they like to talk and they're generally pretty strong in
the logic department, but when it comes to their own emotions it's
another story. I've never been able to entirely figure this out
other than to postulate that in their supreme crusade for fairness they
find it difficult to defend themselves because it entails taking sides. Through the Houses, a Libra Moon is likely to provide exceptional
balance to that particular venue. For example, in the 1st House,
their very nature will be fair and refined; in the 2nd House, their
possessions will especially reflect exceptionally fine taste; in the
3rd, they will be very open-minded and non-judgmental. If placed
in the 4th House, they'll do all in their power to keep their home
environment as harmonious as possible and will also make regular use of
those lace tablecloths and fine china. In the 5th, they'll be very
romantic and perhaps creative in one of the fine arts. If found in
the 6th House, they'll be the resident peacemaker in the workplace and
in the 7th their entire existence is going to thrive or wilt based on
the status of their relationships. In the 8th, which governs
intimate relationships and shared resources, they may have a tendency to
let others take advantage of them. A placement in the 9th House
will predispose them to a love of foreign travel and cultures and in the
10th could motivate a career as a diplomat of some variety. As
noted earlier, in the 11th they'll have a wide circle of friends in
which they'll be the resident mediator and in the 12th, they're likely
to be deeply moved at a spiritual level by beauty of just about any
variety, whether it's a beautiful sunset or simply listening to
Beethoven's 5th. When someone's
Progressed Moon enters Libra,
there will be a noticeable softening of the personality as the
Virgo Moon fades into the
cosmos. The criticism will fade away with the ability to listen
and desire to be fair usually a welcome change. There will be
substantially less nervousness and a much calmer demeanor. This is
a progression to look forward to with relief as opposed to others where
all you can do is be grateful that a progressed Moon Sign usually only
lasts from 2 to 2 1/2 years. |
