The Sign of Libra - shared constellation:

Virgo, Libra and Scorpio - the depictions as said above, changed a lot. Virgo laying instead of standing and the Scorpion without "claws" and yes, Libra with nobody holding the scales up. Maybe it's now the time to remember the original depiction as a reminder, to get the awareness of the natural laws, the order and the truth about cycles of life. 

In the first half of the sign of Libra/lower body of Virgo, we "re-discover" the natural order, the truth that is hidden under the lower body part of the Virgin. We need to "undress" ourselves to find "hidden jewels" within and act accordingly. We're protected or guided by the constellation Bootes and it's alphastar Arcturus during this process (Archturus in late sidereal Virgo). The re-emerging of the human soul into consciousness.... 

On a more physical level, it talks about the "birthing" of a new idea/manifestation into the judgments of every day life and to take the responsibility for what we "give birth to" - our actions, our thoughts and our ideas. 


The stars and constellations:

I call the stars of Libra or "Scorpios claws"  the "Zubens"... Alpha and Beta Librae are called Zubenelgenubi (Arabic: al zuban al janubiyy – southern claw) and Zubeneschamali (Arabic: al zuban al samaliyyah – northern claw). There are more stars starting with the word "Zuben" in Libra and early Scorpio. 

South of the ecliptic we find the Hydra's tail and beneath standing the Centaurus, protecting the Crux (southern cross page) which is "crowning" the end of Argo Navis with it's "Diamond" (Argo Navis page). 

The Centaur spans over all the southern 30 degrees of Libra with his famous Alpha-Centauri A, B, C- named Rigil Kentaurus, Toliman and Proxima Centauri  - this star and planetary system is the closest to Earth.  

In Greek Mythology all the Centaurs play a big role within many stories/tales. Some of them are as asteroids or dwarf planets still alive and talk about the "two sides/polarities" we're confronted with in the physical realms and the vicious cycles they create. The constellation though represents the mastery gained by "healing" and the understanding of the natural laws. Interestingly the constellation stands upright on the galactic equator just next and above Crux - the Southern Cross, which is the smallest of all constellations but the 4 main stars are all brighter than  +2.8 of magnitude.


The picture here talks about guarding the cross, symbol for the purity and sacredness of the souls incarnational path and "intent".  But also about the sacredness of the Cross - the galactic cross as well as Earth own cross (equinoxes and solstices, the 4 cardinal directions).


As mentioned further up - Justice - had a different meaning in ancient times... it was more about the Universal laws and especially about the "cause and effect"...  we could "justice" also call a "consequence" that happens whether we "punish" someone or not....
