I did a google search and found a description of a typical Libra, and in the following I have replaced “You” with “It”… how very cool!
“It is under the rulership of the planet Venus and has an instinctive grace and charm, proportion and harmony, a phrase to describe it is - In balance. It seeks to work in co-operation with others and is very concerned to form companionships and partnerships since it finds it hard to work in isolation.”
I guess that’s good, since I’ve spawned a couple. We Sagi’s, by my experience seem to wander about in a daze…I may need those kids to straighten me out some day!
…which distribution we may expect in about the same time as, say, the much-awaited D. Spillane Whistle? Low D wasn’t it supposed to be? I forget; time erodes so much…
At any rate, I’m looking for ill-considered opinions and myth-based guesswork rather than at-length dealings in authoritative tomes that have yet to see the light of day. No offence, good Walden, but even YOU must have something with which to further stir the pot.
As I write this, I’m eating wild persimmons, and have a mouth full of seeds. The native persimmons are good (they need to be good and ripe, though… know what I mean?), and I honestly feel blessed that the Creator has endowed us with them.
When I was a child, my grandmother would try to show me how you could cut the seeds in half, and there is eiither a spoon, a fork, or a knife in each seed. Now, some people try to prognosticate the winter weather according to which it is. Perhaps there are some old-timers on the list who can bear me out on this.
I think it is only natural that people would reckon that the power that creates and sustains all things might provide clues to His plan in the gifts and order He provides.
Now, as modern and enlightened folks, we assume that if there is indeed a message in the persimmon seeds, it must have some basis in scientific fact, perhaps something to do with how much rain fell, or the amount of sunny, compared to rainy and cloudy days in the summer, that might be indicators of what’s ahead, but, if not, we are inclined to think it’s superstition. Likewise, with the stars.
Genesis tells us that God gave us the heavenly lights for signs and for seasons. It was by observation of the stars that the magi knew that the star of the Christ was in the skies. To our modern way of thinking, the reading of the stars has much more to do with calculation of the years, and with the cycle of seasons, and so forth. Modern astrology and modern astronomy diverge at the word astro. It just goes to show that two different people can gaze at the same thing, but have vastly different understandings of it.
I am not one who follows the Zodiac, but I do believe that the Creator’s hand is to be seen in all His works, whether celestial or terrestrial.
