The Aries/Libra polarity is one of the more difficult polarities to articulate because at the most basic level, Aries represents pure individuality while Libra represents expansion into collaboration.

On the surface, it’s hard to see how these two archetypes can successfully work together. However, the synergy of these opposing astrological signs is really quite beautiful. As they work together through a principle of harmony they increase our understanding of what is possible when we approach life from a more multidimensional perspective.

Aries
The Aries archetype fully embraces individuality, through a pioneering spirit, intuition, inspiration, and expansion into a new process of being. Aries, like all fire signs, is quite expressive. However, Aries can also be introspective and contemplative. This internal quality of awareness is especially true for those individuals who have been experiencing Aquarian activations through the planet Uranus.

The bottom line is that Aries is both outwardly and also internally creative, and uses that creativity to be self-initiating. The shadows of Aries include lack of will, fear, lack of courage, and/or – at the other extreme – aggression.

Libra
For the individual, the Libra archetype is centered first on an awareness of what’s happening around them, and then moves on to the bigger picture beyond a person’s immediate sphere. Libra is easily aware of what has changed and what’s different within one’s world. Libra’s energies are great for observing and creating perspectives that give the individual new insight into the people, culture, and world around them.

In Libra we learn to internally experience the world around us. Through healthy individuality boundaries are created so we can expand into a larger context and bigger picture of life without compromising our own integrity. The shadow of Libra is an unhealthy capitulation to external influences and outside agendas or values that don’t serve the individual’s best interest.

The Aries-Libra Polarity
When you work with the positive energies of the Aries/Libra polarity, you can learn to simultaneously experience both the personal and the larger realms. You can think of these different realms as energy fields, frequencies or dimensions to which you are connected or are a part of.

The two most basic realms of awareness consist of the individual’s immediate experience (Aries) and, at the same time, the larger context of life in which we are all connected (Libra). As we are able to expand into the full use of this polarity, we can start to feel our presence in multiple locations and frequencies simultaneously. This is a great time to practice feeling yourself operating in a wider range of frequencies, and without the limitation of time and space that we all have been conditioned to accept. In other words, we are beginning to feel our expansion into spiritual realms without limits.

From a strictly spiritual perspective, the Aries/Libra polarity focuses our awareness on the concept that I’m calling “multi-dimensionality,” meaning an expanding awareness of multiple frequencies of reality. We’re genetically designed to have these multidimensional capabilities, and I believe this special ability has been hidden from us all. The realization of this multidimensionality has much broader implications that I’ll only begin to touch on today.

From a practical standpoint, we can use the abilities of the Aries/Libra polarity to function at different frequencies simultaneously. For example, when you are holding a high frequency and you find yourself in an environment with a lower frequency, you can learn to observe and choose how you will participate without needing to lower your own vibration. In this way you increase your ability to participate in multiple dimensions and multiple situations.

The word “dimensions” isn’t the best term to use in this discussion. We’re trying to describe something in which the English language feels inadequate. I like the word ‘frequency’ better than ‘dimension’ to describe our awareness of multiple realities coexisting simultaneously, and without limits.

The point is this: in order to live multidimensionally we must embrace our ability to compartmentalize our experiences and choose intentionally when and how we will participate. This is the ability we receive from the Aries/Libra polarity. Make no mistake, to intentionally compartmentalize from a high frequency of awareness is not a disconnected state of being, but rather an experience of integration and focus, in which you are completely connected to Source energy.
