Platform of Libra is the seventh house of the zodiac, following Virgo in the cycle: a floating platform of polished blue stone, carved with the sign of the scales. Its essential column is balance and arithmetical judgment.

Description

At the center hangs a great balance with two empty pans. A hooded figure stands on one pan, placing a single small weight.

Nature

  • The balance weighs without opining; the pan tips for the concrete reason of the weight. This is the cosmological operation of mathematical justice.
  • The balance, in a dull silvery tone, works under the doctrine of the intermediate pole: neither accumulation nor emptiness, exact weight.
  • It is one of the twelve Zodiacal Platforms; the rotating guardian law is the Dual Corruption. The full system is in the Game of Shadows.

Open questions

  • The canonical guardian is not documented. The hooded figure placing the weight could be the guardian or a lesser operator.
