Libra 23: “Rooster” * A pioneer who discovers valuable things before others
The Sun Sabian symbol for around October 16th. The rooster is the first to announce the dawn, loudly proclaiming, “Look, dawn has broken!” while everyone else is still asleep. This person is likely to be the first to detect and spread new trends, creating the catalyst for change and exerting influence.
People whose Sun Sabian symbol is at 23 degrees Libra are likely to be:
Friedrich Nietzsche (philosopher)
Tim Robbins (actor; “The Shawshank Redemption” and “Mystic River”)
Oscar Wilde (author and playwright; “The Happy Prince,” “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” “Salome”)
Charles Dolan (entrepreneur; founder of the cable television network HBO)
Arthur Miller (playwright; “Death of a Salesman”)
1. A voice heralding the dawn of a new era
The Sabian symbol for 23 degrees Libra is the Rooster.
This symbolizes the birth of new values and the awakening of consciousness.
Just before dawn, while the world is still shrouded in silence, a rooster crows powerfully.
Its voice signals the beginning of a new day, awakening people’s consciousness and calling them to action.
The rooster’s crowing at dawn is more than just a mark of time.
It represents a turning point in consciousness: from darkness to light, from sleep to awakening, from old values to a new perspective.
Libra is the sign of balance and harmony, and this symbol gives birth to “new values” that harmonize the individual and the group, and the past and the future.
It is a more fair and refined perspective that the times truly require.
This symbol represents the “dawn of a new era,” the moment when individual or collective consciousness awakens and a new movement begins.
Like a rooster, awakening before anyone else and awakening those around you with their voice.
This symbol represents those who play such a pioneering role. This degree embodies the ability to sense signs of new waves and prepare for them before they arrive.
2. Pioneers who sense change and give orders
People with 23 degrees of Libra are adept at quickly detecting group movements, catching cutting-edge information, and sharing it with those around them.
Like a high-performance antenna, they are acutely aware of subtle shifts in the mood of the times and people’s attitudes.
They also possess excellent expressive abilities, putting these into words and conveying them.
The ability to sense signs of change that others have not yet noticed and the ability to effectively convey the information and insights they have gained to those around them and promote understanding are major characteristics of this degree.
They tend to maximize their outstanding abilities by being present at the scene of waves of change and riding the wave of change.
They find themselves in a place and time that seems like no coincidence, at a critical turning point.
Through these experiences, they hone their unique, sharp insight.
They naturally find themselves in the position of issuing orders and directives, demonstrating leadership that draws attention from those around them.
This leadership is not intended for authoritarian domination.
As the nature of Libra suggests, they emphasize dialogue and balance with those around them.
Rather, it is an influence that people naturally listen to as they signal when the time has come.
They may also take on the role of “leading the charge” by initiating collective change.
Their motivation for action will not stem from personal ambition, but will naturally emerge from the needs of the times and the group.
Just as the rooster heralds the dawn, they will speak out because the time has come—this pure sense of mission likely drives their actions.
3. Sensitivity Expressing the Power of the Earth and the Momentum of the Group
People with the “Rooster” symbolism are said to be highly sensitive to the power of the dragon veins and the energy of the land.
Dragon veins are invisible flows of life force that flow through the earth, a vast global energy network that has been valued in feng shui and other practices since ancient times.
People with this degree may be able to interpret the unique atmosphere of a place and the history and memories accumulated in the land intuitively, rather than logically.
Your abilities will be enhanced in places where good energy flows, but conversely, you may feel unwell in stagnant places.
You will also be keenly aware of social trends and environmental movements, and will be acutely aware of the overall mood of society and the movements of collective psychology.
You will be able to sense the moment when the atmosphere of the times is changing and adjust your own expression and behavior in response.
The energy and momentum you sense will be expressed through words, actions, and creative activities.
You have an excellent ability to communicate your inner feelings outward, and this will be the driving force behind the creation of new values and culture.
For example, you may be able to sense the signs of a new field before it gains attention and begin work on it, or express emotions and desires that people have not yet been able to put into words through your works and words. This ability will be demonstrated in a variety of fields, such as as an artist, entrepreneur, or social activist.
Sensing, understanding, expression, and creation—
You can sense the subtle changes of the times, intuitively grasp their meaning and direction, and become pioneers who create new cultures.
By arriving early on the scene of major events and riding the wave, you have the power to grow and change both individually and as a group.
You may be drawn to places and times of historical turning points, where you can realize your potential.
The special sensitivity possessed by the “Rooster” symbol at 23 degrees Libra is not only an individual talent, but also an important contribution to the times and the group.
Like the rooster heralding the dawn, you sense the beginning of a new era, communicate this to those around you, and move forward together into a new world.
These rare qualities that enable you to fulfill such a role are concentrated here.
4. To Be Sensitive to New Energy
So, what should you be mindful of to better utilize the unique talents of 23 degrees Libra?
First of all, the symbol for this sign is Gemini and Cancer.
Gemini has a strong curiosity for new things and excels at spreading their antennae and catching information.
By constantly demonstrating their curiosity, gathering various information, and accumulating that information, they will be able to quickly identify new trends when they emerge, using their intuition to sense something “different” or “unusual.”
Cancer is also a sign (constellation) skilled in empathy and tuning in.
By being sensitive to the subtleties of people’s hearts and the invisible “atmosphere” of a place, such as the “ki” (energy), you will be able to notice changes that others cannot.
Gemini is the third sign in the horoscope, and Cancer is the fourth.
In Nine Star Kigaku, “Sanpeki Jupiter” and “Shiroku Jupiter” represent the eastward and southeastward directions.
In terms of time of day, these are fresh times that correspond to the morning.
It’s recommended to make the most of these morning hours, or to go and capture this fresh energy when the eastward or southeastward directions are auspicious.
In the Yin-Yang and Five Elements, these correspond to “wood energy.”
“Wood energy” represents the energy of growth, like burgeoning trees and flowers.
It’s also a good idea to go out to grasslands, flower fields, or forests regularly and enjoy the fresh air purified by these plants.
“Wood energy” also symbolizes citrus fruits and sour foods.
It’s also a good idea to eat sour foods like lemon or grapefruit.
Drinking fresh water mixed with a small amount of citric acid first thing in the morning is also effective in promoting metabolism and circulating positive energy.
Aromatherapy oils like grapefruit, bergamot, and eucalyptus are good choices.
Increasing wood energy in this way is expected to promote smooth circulation of “chi” within the body.
Improving the flow of “chi” within the body also helps expel unnecessary, stale energy and keep the body hydrated with fresh energy.
Increasing wood energy in this way also promotes decisiveness.
It’s effective in grasping new trends and making quick decisions when it matters most, such as pointing the way forward.
It will also develop calm problem-solving skills and the ability to absorb new knowledge. Finally, I especially recommend making it a habit to actually get some morning sunlight.
Morning sunlight is said to contain moderate amounts of UVB rays, which activate vitamin D and strengthen the immune system, as well as serotonin, known as the “happiness hormone.”
Serotonin, in particular, is said to contribute to mental stability, elevated mood, improved concentration, and stress reduction.
Appropriate exposure to morning sunlight helps regulate your mind and body, helping you stay in good condition.
Five to ten minutes of meditation in the morning is also effective.
As mentioned above, always keeping your mind and body in good condition and in a good energy state will be extremely beneficial in terms of being sensitive to the “new trends” associated with 23 degrees Libra, seizing good opportunities, and demonstrating your leadership in informing others.
