Join us as we explore the zodiac sign of Libra with special guest and astrologer, Faye Northgrave. This episode takes us on an enlightening expedition through the cosmos, unearthing connections between Libra, represented by the scales, and mythical tales such as the blind seer Tiresias , Narcissus's love affair with his own reflection, and Paris' judgment of the beauty contest between Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite.
The episode probes into the natural and energetic facets of Libra, assessing its inherent qualities of collaboration and relationship-building. We delve further into Libra's mythology, examining the story of Tiresias, his pivotal role in the Zeus-Hera saga, and how his judgement is rewarded with outer blindness and inner sight. Moreover, we explore the dynamics of Libra energy in relationships, tying all elements together to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Libran archetype.
As we venture deeper, we touch upon the mythology of Aphrodite/Venus, underpinning the Libra zodiac sign. The discussion extends from Aphrodite's oceanic birth to her association with Anchises, her role in the battle of the gods, and her representation in the Renaissance period through the iconic 'Birth of Venus' painting by Botticelli. As we navigate the fascinating cosmos, we also unravel the lessons and mysteries of the Aries/Libra axis and the upcoming eclipse season.
