Psychological need and Mythology of Libra

  • My psychological need is to create harmony and balance, and i experience this through sex, death, and other people's resources.

Libra: The Egyptian Maat, the deity responsible for truth and justice, was said to weigh the heart of the deceased person to measure its purity. In Greek mythology Themis turns up again and again in similar roles. She was one of the twelve Titans, and it was her role to regulate moral and physical order in the world. Her children included the seasons, legislation, justice (Dike), and the Fates. She protected the just and punished the wicked. Both Maat and Themis held the scales and thus represented balance.
The sign of Libra occurs at the autumn equinox, when the Sun moves from north declination to south at the beginning of the fall season. There is a sense of balance at this time of the year, when the harvest is gathered and people offer thanks. The social aspect of this sign is seen in community and partnerships of all kinds.
