If you were born in October, under the sign of Libra, congratulations!
It is a peculiar juxtaposition, astonishing to pause and look at more closely, with Libra being the emblem of Balance and October the emblem of Darkness.
When it comes to Libra, balance is not merely about moderation. Balance implies and entails so much more. It is about putting two or more things together, seeing how they compare, how they contrast, and even how they click with each other. Measure, proportion, symmetry (or asymmetry), and many more details are taken into account and weighed. Because of this, Libra is often associated with beauty and also with fairness. It is a mistake, however, to assume that this automatically denotes shallowness (and vanity). In the baser levels, perhaps, but in their greatest splendor, quite the contrary, Libra’s energies lead further and wrap around wholly so it doesn’t miss a thing. Within October, depending on your environment and upbringing, darkness reigns, by the cycles of nature and/or by tradition. This brings the focus into more of the unseen and even the denied. Shadows play a role. The taboo is acknowledged, hinted at, and teased with. Succumbing to the forces of this territory isn’t in this sign’s plans (though it may inch closer and closer as it nears Scorpio’s dates), but appraising instinctually is. Masks come into awareness and every crack in them begins to become noticeable, revealing a disguise. Monsters could be more humane than humans and humans more monstrous than monsters. Might as well face your demons, then either banish or turn them into allies.
Prominent themes include:
- Detecting injustice and hypocrisy.
- Equity rather than equality.
- Crude yet tasteful humor.
Are you an October Libra? And have you met any other October Libra? Maybe, even if quite different on the surface, you share a few things in common, besides your birthday!
