Rose Lalonde Posted September 24 Posted September 24 (edited) 2 of Swords The first decan of Libra, a decan ruled by the moon Post at TabulaMundi.com - DECAN WALK: LIBRA 1, TWO OF SWORDS – Part I – Tabula Mundi Tarot Excerpt: This year the Equinox, start of Libra, falls on Monday the 22nd, though the entry to each decan varies by a day or so each year. With the start of the first decan of Libra comes the Autumnal Equinox, here in the Northern hemisphere. It is a time of balance, where for a moment the hours of daylight and darkness are equal. It is considered the beginning of the second harvest season. The pagan holiday known as Mabon thus is a time that celebrates balance, and gratitude as we gather the fruits of our labors in preparation for winter. Part 2 DECAN WALK: LIBRA 1, TWO OF SWORDS – Part II – Tabula Mundi Tarot This theme of balance of light and darkness is why the day of the Equinox is for stringing the traditional necklace of witches, made with beads of jet (darkness) and amber (light).

JoyousGirl Posted September 24 Posted September 24 (edited) I've been absent, but I'm going to contribute something - which may or may not be of any value! I looked at William Lilly for some extracts and have adapted them. 7th House We're in the 7th house for this and the next 2 decans. Thus, areas dealing with: Marriage, Love Questions, Lawsuits and Controversies, Contracts, Wars, Duels, open Enemies, Bargains, Thefts, Fugitives, and all matters regarding Strangers (this would be immigrants or foreigners). Moon rules this first decan of Libra and some moon related significations are: Health: Strokes, paralysis or tremors, cholic, stomach aches, diseases in the left side, the bladder and members of generation; menstrual issues and liver in women, oedema aka fluid retention, gastro and other stomach issues, rheumatic diseases, gout in the wrists and feet; sciatica, worms, hurts in the eyes, Over-indulgence/excess, phlegmy coughs/pneumonia, seizures, tuberculosis, abscess, smallpox, and measles. I find measles very interesting because there's been a few cases coming in to my country from overseas recently. "Old" diseases might be a thing. So I'm thinking watch out if you're not vaccinated. I think there were some cases of smallpox in the US too. This is before now, but I think COVID was just a reminder that these things happen. Anyway, moon means wet-related sicknesses probably or fluids (blood etc) People: Moon signifies all women from the highest to the lowest hierarchies/castes in society: queens, countesses, ladies. Travellers, pilgrims. People with liquid in their occupation: sailors/mariners/seafood-related workers ie fishermen, brewers/barmaids/publicans and drunkards; postal delivery workers/couriers and other messengers, chauffeur/bus-driver/taxi- or uber-drivers; also midwives, nurses, watermen, water-bearers. millers, hunters, cleaners, and generally women with market stalls or coffee carts - those who carry commodities in the streets. I'm thinking of a certain Duchess that has been in the news lately. I'm not sure when it hit the news i.e. on eclipse/before/after. Now, Yes, some of these events are occurring out of the decan, but we just had an eclipse, so the activation of the moon might be prolonged, particularly in the case of the Duchess. I imagine she's hamstrung / 2 of Swords at the moment with The High Priestess indicating something secret coming to light but also some unknowable factors. Edited September 24 by JoyousGirl
