Sabian Symbol 7 for
the Libra Full Moon (Working Aphrodite's Magic): A WOMAN FEEDING CHICKENS AND
PROTECTING THEM FROM THE HAWKS - The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon
sign produces a personality not easily tied down, fenced in. This combination
blends the emotional balance, courtesy and friendliness of Libra with the
confidence, assertiveness and enthusiasm of Aries. You are likely to appear
more assertive or forceful than you are, as despite personal impulsiveness you
strive to maintain equilibrium and peace. You like to support the underdog and
in many ways you are a true soldier for justice. You've got an innate need for
justice (adjustment) in all things, and love harmony and beauty.
Much alike the
brightest 'star' in the sky, Eostre, that the early Witches worshipped during
Eosturmonath (April), and that would actually have been the
planet Venus, who was originally a goddess of gardens, plants and vines and from which
derives the Latin root word vene for venefica, 'witch', indicating a
relationship to Venus, and thus, the etymology strongly suggesting that the
early witches appear to have been essentially herbalists, so the white marking called 'star' on the face of
mustang horses... and so the Libra Arian people are marked by Love, being their ultimate
goal and true fulfillment in spite of their fiery, battle, controversial
outward-turning first approach to the world (Mayers-Briggs).
Triple Goddess. Tarot Deck. Maiden. Mother. Crone. I used to think that I would step from the maiden archetype directly into that of the crone. But becoming aware that, in shamanic terms, the offspring does not have to be children, but it may come in the form of ideas, opinions, crafts, etc. (this suits the maiden most), has helped me to come to grips with another issue.
Maiden - Careless, Independent and Vulnerable.
Mother - Loving, Caring and Nurturing.
Crone - ?
The traits of the Mother archetype are not exclusive (Sp. privativo) to the biological mother (not even essential), but including the non-biological mother. Motherhood in the sense of birth giving is not the only river a woman has to pour into all her loving, caring and nurturing instincts. And maternal love sometimes should be just called womanly love.
(shhh... witch at work lol)
