Libra seeks collaboration and cooperation. And with Libra’s ruler, Venus, sextile to Jupiter on the day of the New Moon, this is an especially beautiful month to make connections. But a sextile is an aspect that we have to act on. It’s not going to hand us gifts, we have to go out and make the magic happen. Venus and Jupiter together, speak to abundance, love, and connection. To allying our worldview with our values, and our resources with our beliefs. Libra also wants justice and values dialogue and the law and civil disobedience as means to achieve it.
We have been told that anger is violence. We have been taught that anger is unbecoming. We have been led to believe that anger is not spiritual. When in reality the guise of false peace that passes for our societies is brutal. “Peace” is the true brutality. Anger is love. Rage is the right response to the realization of our collective history. If you are not angry you are complicit in the oppression and the continuation of the violent structures of old.
There’s lots going on this week, both in our relationships, and on the world stage. There are always positive ways to use the energy, no matter how intense. There is a real potential this week to work through relationship issues that had been brewing beneath the surface, and to thereby strengthen relationships. Balanced relationships are likely to receive a boost of positive energy. There’s also opportunity for us, in our personal lives, as well as in society, to work toward greater freedom and justice--and sometimes, it’s violence or confrontation that spurs this positive change.
