As a cardinal air sign, ruled by Venus (love and relationships) Libra is known as the moderator. The sign resembles a scale that is always in balance which illustrates Libra’s intuition and attention to the feelings of those around them, and their desire to make others comfortable. As the peacekeeper of the zodiac you have an especially special role in racial justice work. According the Lillith astrology Libra is correlated with the Justice card in Tarot. In the story of justice the goddess Dike pushes her earthly community to adopt a commitment to justice and virtue – eventually this goddess becomes a constellation (virgo) and she carries the scales of justice in her hand which make up the constellation of Libra. This story can be interpreted to show Libra’s consistent commitment and dedication to the cause of justice. Their desire to communicate and encourage others using your unique and special attraction is a powerful force for commanding justice in their communities. Similar to other air signs, Libra’s can often come off as passive in their desire to validate the various sides to every situation. However your unique ability to understand the minds of others is a powerful tool to bring people together and to promote a special sense of love and mutuality.
