“From the simple process of barter and exchange
… to the intricate and formidable financial
and economic structure of the modern world,
desire is the underlying cause.
It demands the satisfaction of sensed need,
the desire for goods and possessions,
the desire for material comfort,
for the acquisition and the accumulation of things,
the desire for power and the supremacy
which money alone can give.
This desire controls and dominates human thinking;
it is the keynote of our modern civilization;
it is also the octopus which is slowly strangling
human life, enterprise, and decency;
it is the millstone around the neck of mankind.”[1]

Libra, Money and the Old Paradigm Imploding
Esoterically, Libra rules money and is associated with money for several reasons:
1. In northern hemisphere symbolism, The Scales of Libra represent the harvest of the previous sign Virgo, that is weighed, bartered or exchanged.
2. Libra is ruled by Venus, long associated with gold and wealth – in its lower outer expression. In its higher expression Venus is the radiant golden light of the illumined mind or the causal body. Venus also rules Taurus, another sign associated with money and its acquisition; esoterically Taurus is the ‘mother of illumination’. Note the higher themes of light and illumination of which gold is the symbol.
Time and Money
3. Libra is ruled by Uranus esoterically which also rules the sacral or sexual centre, hence Libra’s connection to sex. Yet the sacral centre is connected to money because sex and money are basic human survival themes. Both money and sex are energies or prana. Money is materialised prana and is of course, neither ‘good’ nor ‘evil’ in itself, it is simply ‘neutral’, not unlike Libra.
4. The Sun is the symbol of gold yet the Sun ‘falls’ in Libra. Libra’s rulership over the neutrality of ‘no man’s land’ makes it a good sign to deal with money in a fair and balanced way.
5. Saturn is exalted in Libra and is currently transiting through this sign. Saturn rules the third ray or the ‘matter aspect’, also closely associated with money. Indeed, the third ray is the ray of business, whilst the Uranus-ruled seventh ray of organisation is the ray of finance. Saturn is also the Lord of Time, hence the symbolism in the picture above.
6. Hence Libra, through all its associated planets – Venus, Uranus, Saturn – is intimately connected to money.
Currently, transiting Saturn is passing through Libra for the first time in thirty years, and is bringing its influence to bear in all the areas that it rules – the law, sex, relationships, fairness, equality – and money.
Yet the difference this time around is that Libra’s soul ruler Uranus is transiting through Aries, creating a sharp square to transiting Pluto in Capricorn, also a sign of money. Hence these two planets are forcing the issues around money as power and money misused.
In a smaller cycle within this greater cycle of Uranus and Pluto (bearing in mind that Uranus is associated with Libra), transiting Saturn in Libra underscores the unfairness of global economic systems; how they must be brought into right relationship with one another and with we the people, instead of global conglomerates and cartels who have hijacked the financial system and a majority of world governments – creating ‘corporate states’ through which they are dictating their own selfish agendas.
Corporate Entities in the Pisces-Aquarius Transition
We live in a particularly unique period between the passing Piscean era, with its rigid patterns of doing business or ‘business as usual’, and the approaching Aquarian cycle, with vital emerging paradigms displacing the old.
The forces of the revolutionary and reforming Uranus are a major factor as it exoterically rules the new Aquarian cycle – that is about group work and group processes.
Selfishly polarised corporations and multi-nationals are the shadow of the new Aquarian cycle; most (not all) of these group entities have not yet reached a maturity that shares the vision of the greater global good.
