Ponder on this:
Libra is the sign of making choices. You can weigh your situations. And decide whether you will choose the material way, or the way of truth. The choice between the matter and the soul is psychological --whether go get offended or to forgive, to get angry or to be patient, to lie or to tell the truth. The choice comes from the plane of mind. Libra teaches us to rise from the plane of emotions to the plane of mind, and so to solve our problems.

 


Excerpts from Esoteric Astrology by Alice Bailey,


“LIBRA” (pp.226-251):


  1. Libra is the Light leading to peace. It is the light that oscillates till the point of balance is reached. It is the light characterized by moving up and down. People make their choices and decide what direction they will take in the next cycle – spiritual or material. Depending on their choices they will either follow material life in Virgo, or go on to develop the soul vibration in Scorpio.

  2. Libra is the sign of balancing of careful weighing of values, and of achieving the right equilibrium between the pairs of opposites.

  3. In Libra life is spent in quiet, thoughtful reflection, or in a condition of static unresponsiveness. Incarnation after the incarnation the soul vibration predominates and there comes the time of the reversal of the wheel. Then Libra leads on to Scorpio instead of Virgo, and to active soul life.

  4. Libra – Contemplation. – Life of soul and form is balanced. Neither dominates. Equilibrium. An interlude wherein the soul organizes itself for battle and the personality waits. This is the probationary path. Duality known.

  5. During this time the personality grows, yet it veils the hidden soul within each human form. Both reach equal power in this sign.

  6. Libra represents the crisis of equilibrium. It is "the place of judgment." Here the choice is made, which separates “the sheep from the goats.” It really makes a distinction between the ordinary wheel of life and the reversed wheel.

  7. This final judgment will come in the next great world cycle when 2/3 of humanity would have unfolded the Christ principle in themselves to some degree – and become "people of the heart."

  8. Libra takes a special place on the Great Wheel, as the energies flowing from this constellation control what one can call "the axis of the wheel." This is a point in the mid-space, where the 12 zodiacal energies meet and cross.

  9. Libra is related to the third creative aspect of Divinity and governs law, sex and money. Sex will be seen eventually to be proper and divine function, and will then be safeguarded by the right education of the young and the ignorant. The solution to sex problem will not be found through religious teaching, or through physical inhibition. It will come through spiritually minded and intellectual attitude, in keeping with the evolutionary process.

  10. Libra has been the “sponsor of the law.” Up till now law enforced the attitude of fear and retribution which was necessary in the old days for the childish minds of humanity. In the future law will become positive through the practice of right relationships, self-control and unselfishness. The influence of Libra should be imposed in childhood along spiritual lines. Crime will be eradicated when the living conditions of children are improved, when physical attention in given the early formative years to glandular balance as well as to teeth and eyes and ears, a right posture and correct feeding. A certain configuration of stars will bring about the reorientation of the legal profession. The legal rights of children will be universally protected. Russia will propose this step, the USA will endorse it before year 2035.
 
 
  1. Light will be shed on the third aspect of money through Libra . Gold is the symbol of the creation that appears form the union of Spirit and Matter. Money relates physical need and physical supply through creative imagination. We pray every Sunday that vast amounts of money, selfishly cornered before, should flow to aid of the good and the progressive on Earth. Money flow follows the rule: if you do not give, you will not receive.

  2. The rulers of Libra are Venus (exoteric), Uranus (esoteric), and Saturn (hierarchical).

  3. The rulers of the three Libran decanates are Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury.

Discusions:


  • (Aquarian Age Community Meditation Group at the United Nations) This group meditation is very significant for having taken place in the beautiful and inspiring meditation room , symbol of the spiritual guidance of the United Nations. This day was the 56th anniversary of the creation of this oasis of peace and spirituality.
  • The group concentrated its discussion on the confrontation of the retrogressive force of greed, of abuses of power and of matter (materialism) manifested in the financial crisis, citing as well the progressive force of spiritual discipline, the building of consensus among nations and efforts of the UN for the development of humanity through invoking the concepts of fairness and peace.

    The confrontation among internal forces at the UN, the retrogressive Security Council and the progressive General Assembly were also mentioned.

    The group focused as well on the spiritual symbol of money as beneficial energy for the service of humanity and also on the materialistic use of money as a weapon of domination and greed. Choices were explored as to possible positions to take in confrontation of those latter forces.

    Regarding the national confrontation of forces to lead the United States, the group saw Obama closer to the light of progress regarding recognition of the voices of other nations, attention to the needy and his direction towards education, health, energy and science, while McCain is closer to the retrogressive forces of war, privilege, demagogy and deception.



  • (New York Full Moon Meditation Group) This group meditation was very deep and provided a lot of energy. The group discussed the financial crisis in the light of the teachings by Alice Bailey, with special regard to the areas of law and money ( excerpts 10 and 11 on the Libra Info page ).

    The group explored the human spiral of progress and saw that the financial crisis demands a new level of equilibrium and a new set of choices; it was pointed out that the astrological period we are in now is favorable to change.

    Many developments are still in progress and probably during the next full moon in Libra we will be able to see better the forces confronted and the new choices available.

    Within the national struggle for new leadership the group saw Obama leaning toward changes on the perspective of progress.


  • (The Lucis Trust Full Moon Meditation Group) This group listened to a presentation explaining the forces of matter and spirit as related to the financial crisis and the choices of balance and change that we have available. Also highlighted was the need for change and progress. This document will be available on their website.
