The Axis of Self and Other
In astrology, opposite signs are located directly across the zodiac wheel, forming an axis of complementary energies. Aries, the first sign, represents the "I am" principle—individuality, initiation, and self-assertion.
Its opposite, Libra, the seventh sign, embodies the "We are" principle—partnership, balance, diplomacy, and consideration for others. They are two sides of the same coin: one initiates action, the other seeks harmony in interaction.
