The Astrology of Black Liberation: Libra Season with 2016 Libra Nat Turner Blog in retrospect

The Astrology of Black Liberation: Libra Season with 2016 Libra Nat Turner Blog in retrospect 

It’s Libra season and I am continuing my series, The Astrology of Black Liberation. This time it’s with Sun sign in Libra and the Libra/Venus/Cardinal Earth archetypes of Libra Season. 

In this series I am writing about Black Liberation energy in regards to artists/activists/political figures, religion/spirituality/sexuality/creativity, music/art movements via all the sun signs/archetypes.

The Astrology of Black Liberation in Libra season is enterprising, one that on one hand focuses on beauty, fashion, culture, and using charm. The other side is the intellectual brainy communicative air energy that focuses on academia, work, socializing, and ideals of justice, equality (gender, class, race, etc.), and relationships/partnerships

Libra being a Cardinal sign, it's domain is Autumn/Fall season. No hot weather, no more rest or relaxation, it's time for work (and play). Working and socializing and balancing between the two.

Libra's task is bringing people together and creating relationships (partnership). Who wants to spend the colder weather being around someone you hate or don't even know well. Libra is that bridge that brings things to scale.

Libra's energy in the Astrology Black Liberation fits perfectly. It's one part charming, one part compromising, one part social justice warrior, and another cool intellect. 

Black Liberation is a process as I keep saying. There isn't an end in sight, and every generation contributes to it

4 years ago in 2016 I wrote about Libra Nat Turner. To see my astrology blog post on Libra Sun Nat Turner in link here: https://theastrofiend.blogspot.com/2016/10/american-revolutionary-freedom-fighter.html. 

I didn't know it at the time but I think that was my intro to my 2020 Astrology of Black Liberation series.

Nat Turner was a preacher and devotedly religious and moral.

Nat Turner was educated by his master

Nat Turner led a rebellion that murdered his oppressors and slavers.

Libra Nat Turner is a contradiction. Devotedly religious, educated but also rebellious and "violent" (eye rolls). He worked and operated in the system (Christianity taught/brainwashed to oppress him) and did the socially acceptable thing. However he knew, his God knew that slavery is wrong. He fought against it violently.

When you think of Libra zodiac sign, you don't see violence or rebellion. To quote myself from 4 years ago

"Nat was a Triple Libra (Sun, Mercury and Venus all in Libra). This is the icing because a lot of people think Libra's are  just these charming, entertaining, spineless people pleasing bitch babies. But quite the contrary; remember that Libra is a MASCULINE CARDINAL  Air sign. Libra is all about fairness which means that sometimes they gotta step out a balance to take a stand. Aka morphing into a Dancing Prancing Social Justice Warrior Philanthropist (that will go THUG-LIFE on you). ALL in the name of justice and harmony of course."

Libra understands that sometimes you got to "play dirty" do bad wrong things for the right reasons/ideals, and step out of balance to get balance.

Libra in the Astrology of Black Liberation is the balancing, contradictory nature of black Liberation, the intellectualism, the building of social connections, inter/intra personal relationships, knowing when to compromise and work within the system, and the sometimes unavoidable violence (yes unfortunately Liberation can be VIOLENT) and rebellious spirit. 

All this aside I hope y’all check out my upcoming blog posts for The Astrology of  Virgos in Black Liberation and the Spiritual Astrology of Black Liberation post. Happy birthday to all the Virgos. This is your season enjoy and bask in it's energy!
