Libra Print

“Libra” is one of 12 pieces that I’m working on for a series I’m calling “Zodiac Energies”. My goal with these pieces is to use various symbols that describe the different energies of the 12 zodiacs; the planets, elements, and houses that they rule. I was inspired by my love of astrology, energetic symbols, and symbolism. “Libra” is ruled by the planet Venus, is an air sign, and rules the 7th astrological house of marriage, partnerships and intimate relationships. Libra is represented by the scales of balance; the base of the scale represents the elemental symbol for air. On the scales I placed a heart and a feather, this represents the Kemetic story of one’s heart being weighed against a feather to see it’s virtue. In the story, your heart must balance with the feather in order to reach the afterlife. The 7 heads represent the 7th house, and the 2 small symbols on either side of the largest head represent the planet Venus.
