This is a very important page intended to show that opposite signs have the same exact core. All of the statements below are completely true of both of the signs to which they refer. This can point out often overlooked dimensions of the signs. The axis names below are intended to be more humorous than anything.


Aribra: "Warrior Axis" (Aries and Libra, 1 and 7)

About: The use of physical, creative, mental, attractive, and diplomatic power to succeed in one's endeavors. The strength of detachment to preserve individuality and freedom. The balance of independence and relationship. The proper acceptance and release of anger, allowing one to transform anger into energy.
Strength: Being effective in getting what you want (done).
Weaknesses: Ego, selfish orientation (whether obvious or concealed), love tainted with personal agendas, abuse of power or intelligence, manipulation, losing sight of our actual oneness and enforcing separation because of selfish action or the scheming mind, inability to embrace emotion compassionately.
Paradoxical Solution: The only true warrior learns to use their gifts for the good of all, constantly transcending the identification of oneself as an individual separate from others, and coming to identify oneself as the all. A victory for 'me' becomes a victory for all. A victory for 'you' becomes a victory for 'me.'

Le Quarius: "Social Awareness Axis" (Leo and Aquarius, 5 and 11)

The flow of creative and charismatic energy into group situations to lead or inspire others and take groups to new levels. The development of the individual self to be able to contribute to the community. The originality and independence of Aquarius with the warmth, passion and confidence of Leo. Just the same, with this being a fixed Axis, you may be very hard to convince against your will.

Strengths: Confidence, uniqueness, genius, and eccentricity. Social Orientation.

Weakness: Self-aggrandizement, ego, and selfishness. Shifting the importance from the good of all to the excessive importance of oneself. One's rigid opinions, ambition, or self-centeredness gets in the way of humble, compassionate service (true leadership).

Paradoxical Solution: The best leader strives to be invisible and unworshipped. By giving for the pure enjoyment of giving, rather than for what benefits one may accrue from giving, one's service remains free from egotism and power-seeking. One must identify oneself as all people, then one will not live to compete, gain, and profit for oneself.

Can relate totally* and by far my most Strong, Active, Dominant Axis, via 6 (planets) . Although the many opposititions; thankfully and ironically, my 5th House planets provide the much needed "balance" to an otherwise highly focused 11th House *Stellium.

Vircses: "Axis of Enlightened Service" (Virgo and Pisces, 6 and 12)

About: The overcoming of guilt, sadness, fear, and self-criticism through the awakening of compassion for oneself and others, leading to effortless selfless service.

Strengths: Humility, growth through crisis, discontent which generates action/surrender, and an orientation towards service and wholeness.

Weaknesses: Neglecting compassion for oneself and not allowing the recognition of one's inherent self-worth. Over-giving or overworking which perpetuates that illusion that there is something wrong with others and oneself (that something needs to be fixed), or preventing one from relaxing and allowing oneself to truly receive love. Being overly consumed with one's problems, sorrow, or growth, perpetuating a cycle of self-absorption.

Paradoxical Solution: One can do nothing truly deep and transformative for others, until one has followed the disciplined path of achieving the deepest transformation within oneself. Self-love opens up the floodgates of compassion. Only then can one's service for others be absolutely graceful, meaningful, and effective.
