Libra 27: An airplane hovering overhead

Transcendent focus...

Libra 27 describes a situation where one thing captures attention above all else. 

Perceptually, this is like spotting one thing within an array of many possibly interesting things. When, for example, you see a jet plane high in the sky, it seems to hover. It is, of course, traveling at 4-500 miles an hour... very fast... but the perspective from a distance seems to slow it down while it streaks through the air.

In terms of human potentials, Libra 27 suggests that a single talent or capacity takes on greater importance. Something emerges as the leading thing, and, its full realization may be out of reach, yet still worth pursuing.

Attempting to reach the super-human is a possible tendency in Libra 27 folk. The phrase "Your reach exceeds your grasp" may be appropriate. On a more positive side, to reach for a goal too far implies personal focus that does not permit of being confused about the many many things one can pursue.

Libra 25: Information in the symbol of an autumn leaf

The veins that connect us all...

The symbol of an autumn leaf touches many themes.

Death and decay when the brittle leaf crumbles in your hand. Fruition of a fertile season when the many hues of autumn leaves warm the world. The inter-connectedness of all life, for example, how all men regardless of color race or creed, are flowers from the same stem. 

And consider that socially, one can become comfortable with difference in people, as well as with your own individual leanings. 

In terms of generosity, sharing and social capacities, the autumn leaf symbolizes that no matter what the bounty, great or small, giving to others is always an act of giving to yourself. 

In the some cultures such as here in North America, this is very much like Thanksgiving... a time to share the bounty of harvest: life symbolized by an autumn leaf.
