Tarot: Death Justice

Two different temperaments, the Sun in the second house

Count from Libra to Scorpio and you reach the second house, the Gate of Hades in the old list: money, possessions and what you value. The Sun is in Scorpio, where it has no dignity, and you were born in the hours before sunrise, with the Sun still beneath the eastern horizon. It stands in aversion to the Ascendant, so the Libra manner and the Scorpio purpose have no direct line of sight.

Venus rules Libra, and Venus is in detriment in Scorpio, the sign of your Sun. Mars, which rules Scorpio, is in detriment in Libra, the sign on your Ascendant. Each ruler is uncomfortable in the other's home, which is the oldest way of saying that a gracious sign and an intense one disagree about method, if not about aims.

Gracious at the door, intense in the room

Libra rising gives courtesy, an easy smile and a feeling for what the other person would like. You are polite, well presented and rarely abrupt. The Scorpio Sun adds a second layer: you notice what lies under the pleasantries and register tension long before it is named.

People tend to see the diplomat and later find the investigator. Since the Sun and Ascendant do not aspect each other, the surface does not warn them. You may be agreeable and decide privately that you do not agree. Venus as chart ruler gives a love of beauty and of calm rooms, and the Sun's intensity shows when something you value is threatened.

Courtesy and a demand for depth

Libra rising wants partnership and fair exchange, and the Scorpio Sun wants a bond that tests trust. With the Sun in the second house, love is linked to security and shared values: money, belongings and what each partner will protect. You are generous and also possessive.

The tension is between harmony and truth. You may avoid saying what bothers you to keep the peace, then keep a private tally. Compatibility tends to work with partners who are warm, direct and secure, who share your attitude to money and commitment, and who can hear a hard thing without retaliating. Venus's sign and house in your chart show your style of affection.

Value, negotiation and discreet judgement

A second-house Sun ties purpose to earning and valuing. Libra gives negotiation and taste, and Scorpio gives perception and a head for risk. Tendencies include finance and banking, insurance and valuation, law and contracts, art and antiques, design and luxury goods, counselling and mediation.

You can read a deal and the people behind it. The risk is hiding strong views behind a pleasant tone and then acting on them unexpectedly. Venus as ruler suggests watching her sign and house in your own chart, since that is the field where your sense of value is exercised.

Saying the strong thing in the gracious voice

The task is to let the Sun's conviction and the Ascendant's courtesy work together. State a position early and kindly. Notice the moment you agree outwardly and withdraw inwardly, and say the disagreement. Look at what you value and whether it still belongs to you.

In the Tarot, Justice belongs to Libra and Death to Scorpio: the weighing, and the ending that follows a judgement. When they cooperate, you decide with care and then let the matter close.

Questions to reflect on

Where do you agree aloud and disagree in private?
What do you value that you have never argued for?
Which settled matter are you still keeping score on?
