Libra is the Scales. It wants to keep everything in balance. In fact balance is one of the most important principles of life and the universe. The One differentiates itself into two and the two needs to stay in balance through mutual and equal giving and receiving. Or to put it another way in which it is more applicable to our times–that of taking and not giving back. That is what man has done with Nature to where we are reaping the karmic results of this imbalance. But it is an ever bigger issue where mankind takes from one’s fellow man without reciprocating with equal giving. Our world is out of balance and our relationships are out of balance. This unequal fact of our economic system where the more powerful take without balanced giving back is one of the fundamental problems with our world. It is time to start redressing these imbalances.
