Taurus 14° (May 4)

Woke up feeling like I got myself way too worn down, not really understanding the severity. The message from J. has certainly shed light on a brilliant array of new colors, all of them black, grey and brown. Capricorn colors. Symptoms made it to causes. Tails wagging dogs. Crimes fitting punishments. The defenses are up and the means justify the ends. There was never going to be any hope of friendship. There was never going to be a friendly reaching-out after it’s all said and done. There are different strokes of narratives for different folks involved. What is being gotten away with could never be gotten away with, with those who really know me/us. But for the one who I have zero contact with but for when summoned—but whom is a weekly Zoom date now for over a year for another—of course a separate narrative could be trumped up and used to justify the ends. It is all so clear now and so utterly ironic that the one to spill the beans was the one one would never expect to utter. Seems my year-long unanswered messages were somehow being read without the tell-tale technological signs they were. More truth please! Let it all come out. Meanwhile I am full on ill and am going to see if I have you know what.

Libra Woman

Libra is the craftiest of the zodiacal characters, in all meanings of the word. An idiosyncratic individualist, she takes a rather DIY approach to life, keeping her interactions light, lively, and moving. She plays by her own rules, which usually necessitates working alone or in partnership, in an aesthetic field or one hinged on beautiful ideas. Ruled by Venus, named for the goddess of love and beaty, the air sign (ideology and social experience) of Libra is focused on conceptual splendor and principles that make the world a more beautiful place, at least as she sees it. Libra tends to live on a soapbox of sorts, just as others, admirers, put her on a pedestal.  She draws on archetypes of the high priestess like Phoebe (meaning: to shine) and enchantresses like Medea and Circe, and modern good witches like Oz’s Glinda and “Bewitched”’s Samantha. To shine a light on what needs addressing, and to wave a wand to ameliorate situations is Libra’s raison d’etre.  Her high principles are built on personal experience, symptomatic of her recovery therefrom. Libra tends to come from a “broken” home where she was made to feel divided, pulled in opposing directions; having play mediator and judge; like that high priestess, presiding and deciding fates.  For all her apparent goodness and light, her opinions can be fierce and final.

Libra tends to be too many things to too many people, losing sight of herself and her needs in the process. Typically agreeable, when she does take a strong stand, she can be accused of being contrary for its own sake, just one of the levels on which Libra can be misunderstood. (The oracular high priestess spoke in gibberish, which others had to interpret. Likewise, Libra can keep people guessing by offering a plethora of possible answers to any one question and a salad of would-be solutions to any single problem. Glinda, didn’t just say “click your heels” as an instant remedy; rather she pointed out a path with multiple offshoots. Though she is rarely indecisive like her Libra brother, she can inspire a kind of vacillation in others, making folks second guess themselves. She herself jumps around, taking paths in life, personally and professionally, reinventing constantly, committing utterly for a time to the one path she’s currently set upon. Loved ones learn to be unsurprised when, next they speak, she’s on a completely different trip. Taste and style are Libra superpowers and her personal aesthetic is inimitable. Say, if strolling through a crowded flea market, she will spot hidden, often quirky treasures, that otherwise go unnoticed. She likewise assembles a wardrobe, that will empower her to dress-to-kill. Seemingly superficial, these talents add up to something resonant: She is forever in the process of endowing herself and her environment with talismans of her surpassing taste, which has a potent effect on her psyche, confidence, sense of identity and well-being. It is a spiritual expression of self-value and validation. Libra is all about charm, casting her spells as she weaves her way through life; the flipside is that others, admirers, may look upon her as a lucky charm, a trophy, an ornament to plop on that pedestal. She must teach them to knock it off.
