It's those times when I lack the confidence to go for it that I suffer. I mean I really suffer.

So the Libra will ask, and the Aries will tactfully ask...and maybe listen and receive as well...........hm....my Sun is in Libra and Moon in Aries, and I stumble around this dance all the time, feeling misunderstood and/or saying or being too much at times, and stepping on other people's toes as we dance....~ESelizabeth springhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16913744861377073587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065654393122420690.post-2205743007164525132007-12-19T13:14:00.000-05:002007-12-19T13:14:00.000-05:002007-12-19T13:14:00.000-05:00<I>He says,"Balance has to do with how it is possible to live in the region of the heart and be open to the soul and spirit,to the realm of the invisible and at the very same time live a very grounded practical, mundane earthly life."</I><BR/><BR/>This fits nicely with the teachings of Pir Vilayat of the Sufi Order. He also suggested one of the most challenging paths to Mastery was through one-on-one relationships. This may be one of the challenges of North Node in Libra but applies to all who have Libra strongly featured in their charts.neithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05611404164493055394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065654393122420690.post-14613226251888160092007-12-19T11:04:00.000-05:002007-12-19T11:04:00.000-05:002007-12-19T11:04:00.000-05:00Really well said! I took a couple of "Sophia's workshops" with Sardello and his group years ago and they were very special times...I really like him.

I am now reading Sardello's book The Power of Soul, Living the Twelve Virtues. It has been very helpful to read his inspired writing about the virtue of Balance. Having the South Node in Libra in the Twelfth House near my natal Neptune,I'm not sure I have ever had a whole idea of what Balance as a virtue,is . He says,"Balance has to do with how it is possible to live in the region of the heart and be open to the soul and spirit,to the realm of the invisible and at the very same time live a very grounded practical, mundane earthly life."stardustnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065654393122420690.post-66661752652434254792007-12-19T01:07:00.000-05:002007-12-19T01:07:00.000-05:002007-12-19T01:07:00.000-05:00It all really comes back to acceptance.

Moon in the 8th is so aware of the fragility of life, that even when you know the emotional bottom-line of a situation, you might still choose to be diplomatic and maintain harmony. Not so bad, really. Just remember your choices when it really counts.....~E.S.elizabeth springhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16913744861377073587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3065654393122420690.post-81227839604361519462007-12-18T03:42:00.000-05:002007-12-18T03:42:00.000-05:002007-12-18T03:42:00.000-05:00What a good post.<BR/><BR/>As an interested party (!) with North Node in Aries, conj Moon in 8th, I would agree with practically everything you have written. <BR/><BR/>However I would just say while I know I have made progress it is continual ongoing struggle not to fall into the shadow Libra tendencies of people-pleasing. And I've just had my second Saturn return! I find confrontation desperately difficult (Virgo asc and Sun sq Saturn in Leo probably doesn't help either). It's all too easy to swing between hair-trigger, if unexpressed, anger and compulsive diplomacy. <BR/><BR/>Independence, courage, the love of new ventures and new beginnings, and the ability to show up for difficult things. Yes, I do have these as well, but the fallback position is always displomacy and the struggle to maintain harmony at all costs.<BR/><BR/>Oh well. Onward and upward!mmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12602566764008799383noreply@blogger.com
