“My Soul is One With the Universe, and My Spirit is an Emanation from Diety...” The Aquarian Age Platinum Rule: Do and Think Unto Others, as You Would Have Them
For detailed information | click here The Golden KeyCharacter Insight from Spiritual Astrology...Kamala HarrisThe 3rd Decanate of Libra (Libra/Gemini) — Lupus, Expiation or AtonementIt is Impossible for a Man to Injure Another Without Himself Being Injured, or for a Man to Benefit Another Without Himself Being Truly Benefited. Keyword: EXPIATION, or ATONEMENT. 
Johannes Hevelius, public domain Some of the thirty-six decanates offer spiritual messages in the form of cautionary tales. Lupus, the cunning wolf, where the sun is found from October 13th to October 23rd is one of them. Here, Libra’s social nature is paired with sharp intelligence. The ancients chose Lupus to remind us that any gift—whether intelligence, strength, or social advantage—when misused to harm others, eventually backfires on the one who misuses it. Zain illustrates this message with the fairytale of Little Red Riding Hood and her encounter with the sly wolf—a classic "wolf in sheep’s clothing." Brilliant minds who, out of a lack of sympathy, use their talents to take advantage of or selfishly deprive others eventually meet with the Centaur's spear, as depicted in the constellation Centaurus, or with Little Red Riding Hood's woodman's axe. The point of this story is not to label natives of this decanate as exploiters but to remind us that when we use our talents for the greater good and in the spirit of Universal Welfare, everyone benefits. 
Chart generated by Horoscope Program; Source: Astro DataBank; RRating AA How does this decanate apply to Harris’ life?Spiritual Astrology teaches us that each soul comes into this life with a purpose and mission. Clues are found in the birth chart. One indication is found in the position of the Sun. The Sun rules the Power Urges where the Individuality is polarized. Harris’ Sun is in the 5th house. It is her dominant planet and is in the decanate of Expiation. Expiation is defined in Oxford Languages as "the act of making amends or reparation for guilt or wrongdoing; atonement." This means that making amends for and seeking accountability for wrongdoing is part of her spiritual DNA and a huge motivator in her life. Hermetic Astrology teaches us that the environment into which we are born is not a coincidence. It is attracted by the magnetism of the Soul’s needs. Harris grew up in an intellectual, immigrant family within a supportive, tight-knit community in Oakland, California, where she learned to be a functional part of something bigger than herself. With parents who were civil rights activists, she was exposed to the ideas of social justice from the time she was a small child. She early learned that justice is not apportioned equally to everyone. It is an aspiration to be fought for, as much as it is a right affirmed in the Preamble of the Constitution. Her interest in becoming a prosecutor was flamed, if not ignited when she reached out to protect a high school friend who was being molested by her father. She approached her mother about the friend living with their family. Her mother agreed. Given her birth chart, it was a natural thing for her to do. With her Sun in Libra, it was natural that she would develop intellectually and become socially astute. Her Power Urges are further strengthened by a Grand Trine between Saturn in Aquarius in the 9th house and her Gemini Ascendant. Adding to the power of her Sun, it forms a close opposition to the Moon in Aries in the 11th house, which is mitigated by Mars in Leo in the third house. Placed in the 5th house, Harris enjoys playing by the rules of fairness. Mars in the 3rd house and an Aries Moon make her a fighter for the weak and helpless. She credits Howard University, an HBCU and her alma mater, as a place of empowerment that instilled in her the values of leadership, service, and activism, while also reconnecting her with her cultural roots. Harris’ quotes also illuminate how she embodies the spirit of expiation, particularly as it relates to her life's theme of social order. “I'm a career prosecutor. I have been trained, and my experience over decades, is to make decisions after a review of the evidence and the facts. And not to jump up with grand gestures before I've done that. Some might interpret that as being cautious. I would tell you that's just responsible.” “I was raised to be an independent woman, not the victim of anything.” “You have to see and smell and feel the circumstances of people to really understand them.” “I often advocate that we look at many sides of an issue, walk in someone else's shoes, and identify and reject false choices.” “I just think it's so important not to take yourself too seriously.” “A family looks for ways to support and inspire one another.” “If we do not lift up women and families, everyone will fall short.” “I love being in the courtroom.” For greater insight into the decanates of spiritual astrology, click here for more about Libra and the EXPIATION decanate in Course VII or here for “The Second Eighteen Decanates Analyzed” in Course X-1.

I BalanceChoosing the Thoughts and Emotions We Nurture and Harvest...Every day, consciously or unconsciously, we make choices that impact the experiences we attract tomorrow. Making good choices requires wisdom. Wisdom comes from finding the right balance between competing factors. What measurment do we use to find BALANCE? Libra, the sign ruled by Venus—the planet of love—teaches us that balance is found by considering which option offers the greatest love, kindness, and compassion. A classic example of this principle in action is the story of King Solomon. Faced with two women claiming to be the mother of the same child, Solomon was tasked with deciding who the real mother was. Both made compelling arguments. After much thought, Solomon proposed splitting the child in half, giving each woman a portion. The true mother, filled with love, immediately offered to give up her claim to save the child’s life. Solomon, recognizing that love preserves rather than destroys, awarded her the child. This story illustrates the doctrine that love is the foundation of life, both here and beyond. In later days, this truth was expressed by the Nazarene, who commanded his followers to "love one another." Our actions, judged by kindness and compassion, will be our greatest harvest. The Autumnal equinox marks the Sun's decline and the shortening of days. The vibrant colors of spring and summer fade, and crops planted in spring have been harvested. In the solar cycle, it's a time to evaluate whether there’s enough food and shelter to survive the coming winter. This season of reckoning in Nature aligns with one of the world’s holiest times, when various sacred traditions encourage reflection on the past year. Devotees are urged to weigh their good deeds against their shortcomings, assessing how they measure up to their moral ideals. It’s a time to restore balance by aligning spiritual aspirations with real-life progress. It's the perfect time to ask the question, “Did I love enough today?” Click here for more of this meditation and a companion exercise. Click here for Course 7, Spiritual Astrology. Mental Alchemy...Prayer for Harmonizing Venus and Neptune Energy
For use at times when the Will is weak and healthy boundaries have been lost because of too much pliancy; during emotional and affectional crises; and/or, there is a tendency to be vague, negatively imaginative, and/or unduly sensitive. Constructive Social Urges express as Affection asserted through strength of character, in companionship and social contacts, and in appreciation for the beautiful in life. Constructive Utopian Urges express as Idealism and through the practical application and expression of the plans and schemes the imagination pictures. O Thou Eternal Spirit, in Whom I live, move, breathe and have my Being! Aid me to attain calmness when emotion would threaten my poise. Aid me to be reasonable when I would feel hurt and unreasonable. Aid me to know that others will give love to me only as I radiate love to them. Inspire me to face reality courageously, confidently and calmly. So Shall It Be!.... The Silver Key
