Keywords are "We Are" or "I Balance",
so that regardless of the
degree of sensory and personal response to internal and external awareness
of life, balance is necessary. In order to achieve harmony in life a
"balanced status" or a transition to that state, must be achieved. The
ideal is probably drawn from nature in equilibrium. Equal hours of
sunlight and moonlight set up one of nature's balance archetypes two days
every year - the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes. Many of the paradigms
employed as filter agents through which Libra sense input will pass, have
an infused purpose - to bring everything into equilibrium.
The designated "picture"
employed by Libra [as the "city planner"] endures, even expands, under
extensive construction with a purpose. The real goal is to "balance the
scales" in every formal and informal facet of life.

Let the Feast
Begin!
Harry had never in all his life had such a
Christmas dinner. A hundred fat, roast turkeys; mountains of roast
and boiled potatoes; platters of chipolatas; tureens of buttered peas,
silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce – and stacks of
wizard crackers every few feet along the table. These fantastic party
favors were nothing like the feeble Mugggle ones the Dursleys usually
bought, with their little plastic toys and their flimsy paper hats inside.
Harry pulled a wizard cracker with Fred and it didn’t just bang, it went
off with a blast like a cannon and engulfed them all in a cloud of blue
smoke, while from the inside exploded a rear admiral’s hat and several
live, white mice. Up at the High Table, Dummbledore had swapped his
pointed wizard’s hat for a flowered bonnet, and was chuckling merrily at a
joke Professor Flitwick had just read him.
Flaming Christmas puddings followed the turkey.
Percy nearly broke his teeth on a silver sickle embedded in his slice.
Harry watched Hagrid getting redder and redder in the face as he
called for more wine, finally kissing Professor McGopnagall on the cheek,
who, to Harry’s amazement, giggled and blushed, her top hat
lop-sided.
When Harry finally left the table, he was
laden down with a stack of things out of the crackers, including a pack of
non-explodable, luminous balloons, a Grow-Your-Own-Warts kit, and his new
wizard chess set. The white mice had disappeared and Harry had a nasty
feeling they were going to end up as Mrs. Norris’s Christmas
dinner.

ASC
15° Scorpio 27' Character symbolized in the Tarot as a young
prince on horseback
The Prince of Cups represents the airy

equilibrium; on the other hand, the catalytic faculty and the energy of
steam. He rules from the 21st degree of Libra to the 20th degree of
Scorpio. -The Tarot of The Egyptians. Harris often appears on horseback in
very powerful scenes, especially in character as, A Man Called Horse, the
landowner on horseback conversing with James Earl Jones in Cry, The
Beloved Country, or as Marcus Aurelius in Germania scenes to open the film
Gladiator.
Venus 22 Scorpio 18' conjunct
ASC Warrior in complete armour astride the black stallion
[Gladiator, Robin and Marion, Camelot.] In the Tarot, his horse rides
through flame. The regenerative power of Scorpio, alive and well as the
double headed phoenix, resides in the rooms of Professor Dumbledore.
Fawkes is one of the headmaster's mysterious allies at
Hogwarts, and Dembledore's Patronus is a Phoenix.
Venus is conjunct the Beta star marking the Northern Scale of the
constellation Libra. A pale emerald star, Zubenelschemali
was the "Northern Light," in the Babylonian system. The scales were

In what way is 'Harry Potter and the
Half-Blood Prince' related to 'Harry Potter and
the Chamber of Secrets'?
JKR I have been engulfed by an avalanche
of questions on the subject of
'Prince' having once been a title of 'Chamber'. I am therefore
attempting to answer most of them under
this heading....
The plot of 'Prince' bears no resemblance whatsoever to the plot of
'Chamber', nor
is it an off-cut of 'Chamber'. The story of
'Prince'
takes off where 'Phoenix' ended
and does not hark back to four years
previously.
True, mention is made to events that
happened in 'Chamber,'
but of course,
mention is also made of events that
happened in 'Stone',
'Azkaban', 'Goblet'
and 'Phoenix'.
'The Half-Blood Prince' might be described
as a strand of the overall
plot. That strand
could be used in a whole variety of ways
and back in
1997 I considered weaving it
into the story of 'Chamber'. It really
didn't
fit there, though; it was not part of the
story of the basilisk
and Riddle's diary,
and before long I accepted that it would
be better
to do it justice in book six. I
clung to the title for a while, even
though
all trace of the 'Prince' storyline had
disappeared, because I
liked it so much
(yes, I really like this title!). I re-christened
book
two 'Chamber of Secrets' when I
started the second draft.
The link I mentioned between books two
and six does not, in fact, relate
to the
'Half-Blood Prince' (because there is no
trace left of the HBP
storyline in
'Chamber'.) Rather, it relates to a
discovery Harry made in
'Chamber' that foreshadows something that he finds
out in 'Prince'.

qualities of the Buddha are traditionally represented by these 8
auspicious symbols.
Many are subtext for the part of Professor Dumbledore

Hogwarts Teachers and Headmaster
In the first book, Dumbledore called for the school song when he was
feeling particularly buoyant, but times are becoming ever darker in the
wizarding world. Should Dumbledore ever suggest a rousing encore, you
may assume that he is on top form once more. - JKR
Libra, ruled
by Venus as the diplomat and orator with a sense of stage presence,
incorporates the power of
copper, the great
energy conductor.
Well known accomplishments revolve around
several fascinating gifts. The most extraordinary Libran can persuade
diverse factions in an organization, or collective, that the idea of
unification is beneficial. It will tend to support the integrity of the
individual as it simultaneously encourages group empowerment.
History
of Libra
Astraea
was the last of the immortals to stay on Earth, as mankind became
wicked, she ascended to heaven to become the constellation
Virgo;
the scales of
justice she carried became the
nearby constellation Libra. go
Floating Island
"From
time immemorial the scales have been the principle attribute of
justice, it being impossible
to even a little right with any quantity of wrong" [Brewers
Book of Myth and Legend,
p.253].
While it seems
impossible to trace with any certainty the date of formation
of our present figure and its place of origin, yet there was
probably some figure here earlier than the Claws, and formed
in Chaldaea in more shapes than one; indeed, Ptolemy
asserted that it was from that country, while Ideler and
modern critics say the same.
 Brown
thinks that its present symbol, generally considered a
representation of the beam of the Balance, shows the top of
the archaic Euphratean Altar, located in the zodiac next
preceding
Scorpio
[Ara,
the altar is below Scorpio], and figured on gems, tablets,
and boundary stones, alone or in a pair. Miss Clerke recalls
the association of the 7th month, Tashritu, with this 7th
sign and with the Holy Mound, Tul Ku, designating the
biblical Tower of Babel, surmounted by an altar, — the stars
in this constellation, alpha, mu, xi, delta, beta, chi,
zeta, and nu, well showing a circular altar.
Sometimes this Euphratean
figure was varied to that of a Censer, and frequently to a
Lamp; Strassmaier confirming this by {Page 274} his
translation of an inscription as die Lampe als Nuru,
the Solar Lamp, synonymous with Bir, the Light, also found
for the sky figure. In this connection it will be remembered
that another of the names for our
Ara,
a reduplication of the zodiacal Altar, was Pharus,
or Pharos, the Great Lamp, or Lighthouse, of
Alexandria, one of the seven wonders of the world. This Lamp
also has been found shown on boundary stones as held in the
Scorpion's claws, and we see the same idea even as late as
the Farnese globe and the Hyginus of 1488, where the
Scales have taken the place of the Lamp. When the Altar,
Censer, and Lamp were in the course of time forgotten, or
removed to the South, the Claws were left behind, and
perhaps extended, till they in turn were replaced by Libra.
Miss Clerke additionally writes:
The 8th sign is
frequently doubled, and it is difficult to avoid seeing in
the pair of zodiacal scorpions, carved on Assyrian
cylinders, the prototype of the Greek Scorpion and Claws.
Both Libra and the sign it eventually superseded thus owned
a Chaldaean birthplace.
Brown also says
that the Euphratean Sugi, the Chariot Yoke, which he
identifies with alpha and beta of this constellation, remind
us by sound and signification of the Zugon and
Jugum of Greece and Rome respectively, and that
astrology adds evidence in favor of a Chaldaean origin, for
it has always claimed Libra — the Northern Scale at least —
as a fruitful sign, taking this from the very foundations of
astrology in the Chaldaean belief that "when the Sugi stars
were clear the crops were good." In modern astrology,
however, the reverse of this held in the case of the
Southern Scale.
It seems not
unreasonable to conclude that in Chaldaea the 7th sign had
origin in all its forms.
In classical
astrology the whole constituted the ancient House of Venus,
for, according to Macrobius, this planet appeared here at
the Creation; and, moreover, the goddess bound together
human couples under the yoke of matrimony. From this came
the title Veneris Sidus, although others asserted that Mars
was its guardian.

Green-black tourmaline is an extra magical stone for the native. It was
used as the raw material for Professor Dumbledore's "streetlamp keep"
in, 'The Sorcerer's Stone' when newborn Harry was delivered by
Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, & Hagrid, to the Dursley's home on
Privet Drive. Various tourmaline stones are often attributed to the sign
that follows Libra, Scorpio - at its highest level, it is the
eagle/phoenix.
