Origins
in
Mythology
There exists no specific myth or
tale about Libra. The association of balance with Libra dates to the
origins of Astrology. Throughout the natural world there was one ever
present principle perceived, and this was balance.
To prosper, a society must
develop and maintain an equilibrium in many sectors, such as economics,
law and coexistence with its neighbors. This was achieved always
through the establishment of a responsible structure of government.
What Libra represents is the same sense of government on an individual
level. This was expressed through emotional, mental and physical
balance.
The image of Justice is also
associated with Libra. As early as 2001 BC, the constellation of Libra
was associated with the judgment of the living and the dead in
Babylonia. Here, Zabanitu, who represented the Scales, weighed souls of
the deceased to determine their moral worth.
In Egypt, this same role was
overseen by the god Anubis, utilizing a feather as a counterbalance to
the heaviness of a human heart. Throughout the Mediterranean region,
the harvest season was associated with this time of year. The weighing
of crops was often performed when the Moon was full in Libra.
