Now Playing: Boy's of Summer-Don Henley
Topic: Pups
Today was the last day of summer this year. Tomorrow is the fall Equinox. The day will be as long as the night. I will be spending the most of it at the Hombre Cafe working for girls who work for me pretty often. Who couldn't use an extra buck or two.
The sun moves into Libra, the sign of Justice and of Partnerships. The balance of night and day is appropriate for the beginning of the sign of the scales.
Libra is an air sign. It is ruled by Venus (along with Taurus) Air signs are communicative and vibrant. Venus is the planet of Love and Beauty, and natives of Libra have a love for things that are beautiful. They desire harmony in their partnerships and are generally fair minded. They like to hear both sides of the argument, and often can find reasons to agree with each one. That can be tough.
My experience with the sign of the scales comes most directly with my mother who is a "bi-polar" Libra . What goes down must GO BACK UP!!! It was a long struggle trying to get the right treatment in a world that really doesn't understand so many things about the mind. She has been doing well for a number of years at last, and is now starting to speak at conferences on mental health about what it is like from a patient's standpoint. I am proud of her for getting up there and talking about a subject that is really intense and misunderstood. She is intelligent and articulate, and like the subject of a Beautiful Mind, she has walked the line between medicated and not for many of the same reasons. I think that what they can learn from her could help many, many people. I think it is part of the reason she is here.
