Libra 30

The rooster is black so it can absorb the maximum amount of light from the rising sun. It is also the darkness which greets the light, and which, through contrast, intensifies the knowledge and understanding of the light.

The Moon of the Omega symbol is most usually associated with night, but here we see it in daytime, just as the rooster, which is normally associated with the inception of day is here black, a color associated with night. You’re about bringing the night into the day and the day into the night, that is, making the unconscious more conscious while allowing unconscious elements to enter into the conscious realm. At its most realized, this can be tremendously enriching, for as this barrier between conscious and unconscious is crossed and re-crossed again and again, it wears away – until wholeness is the result.

And so the sign Libra ends by focusing on one of the most important of all relationships – the relationship between who we are – as signified by the conscious self, and who we are becoming – as signified by all those elements in the unconscious yet to be fully integrated into our being. The merging is inevitable, and so we must go with it if we are to be released from suffering. This is the perfect summary of Libra.
