His goal
is balance, complete harmony in all the situations, people and
feelings he encounters throughout his life.
Justice.
The Archangel Michael weighs the lives of those waiting at the
gate of heaven against a feather on the scales of past actions.
Eternally
attracted to beauty and perfect poise, Libra aspires to the higher
realms of angelic harmony.
The essence
of life, however, is movement so that the risks of imbalance,
disharmony and discord are high. Libra walks the tight-rope with
care, trying to make the right choices often with his feet going
from one side to the other or even one on each side. His judgment
of others and indeed himself can be harsh until he has found a
state of balance within.
Always at
grips with his own duality. His ability to see both sides, to
experience the seemingly incompatible polarities of life he goes
from one extreme to the other in search of balance.
However,
as with all the archetypes, the seed of his own strength lies
deep within his vulnerability.
His potential
is that of a master of energy able to dance with natural grace
along the razor edge of balance. His poise is such that he can
hold the space by juggling the natural elements and creating a
void around himself. No longer pulled this way and that he shows
us the art of detachment and clear vision.
His duality
now healed, the two parts of his being, physical and spiritual,
are as one. He knows how to perform the highest act of balance.
The coming together of the male and the female, the sun and the
moon in the sacred marriage. This is the state of perfect balance.
The state of wholeness. A state of being in harmony with life
itself.
