Heaven, earth and man...
Libra 30 is an image recalling the popular figures of old taoist sages with over-sized foreheads upon which three prominent mounds protrude. This is an expression of bringing knowledge together in a balanced, harmonious way: heaven, earth and man... an accordance of all things.
As a fifth degree in this Libra series of symbols, there is a genius and ease to pulling off the task successfully. And, like the opposing degree symbol, Aries 30 "A duck pond and its brood", it is like 'getting your ducks all in a row'.
'Ducks in a row'? Think of how ducklings instinctively align behind their mother while swimming in a pond. There appears to be no schooling period, time of instruction ... "Okay, now you all stay behind and swim exactly this far apart in a line or a 'V' formation using your webbed feet to steer and stay in position"... they just instinctively know what to do.
It is said that the man in accordance with all things, with the Tao, walks through the marketplace unnoticed. Therefore, it may seem a paradox, or paraducks in a Marx Brothers sense, that Libra 30 individuals tend to be content while quietly in the background.
Harmonic voices may be common here. Also a quiet disposition that all things work together in a greater accordance than may appear to be the case in ordinary human perception and understanding.
