The Libran icon of scales would appear to date back to the Osirians whose hearts would be removed and then ‘weighed’ by Anubis, the god of the dead, to determine their worth in life. Only the beings whose hearts had fulfilled their destiny would be allowed to pass across to the great pyramid of Osiris. The histories of the Osirians of course passed down into human mythology through their involvement with the ancient Egyptians of Earth and through them to the Greeks and Romans in the form of the constellation of Libra, which convention draws as a set of scales.

Historically, those born under the sign of Libra have been depicted as obsessed with equality in all the houses of their chart. Yet Librans are more than capable of accepting imbalance so long as it is to their own benefit. They rarely shy away from conflict and often relish the chance to play ‘Devil’s Advocate’. However, the reason they can afford to be so deliberately perverse is that they are imbued with the ability to view both sides in a debate and assess which side is the most just to them.

That they are depicted in the zodiac as a machine, a set of scales, is misleading as it is in fact a very emotional sign, one that cares a great deal and longs to share its own good fortune. The greatest injustice of all is when the Libran’s generosity is rejected by its intended recipient.

Only then do we see the fiery elements of the sign come to the fore. And as Libra is an air sign, combining air with fire can make for a dangerous mix…
