The Libra underneath

Day and night are equal for a single breath when the autumn equinox in the north opens Libra season. You carry that balance in your bones. You can feel when a room tips out of tune, and you have a gift for bringing it back without anyone quite noticing how you did it.

Your gift

Grace. You can make a hard moment feel lighter and a plain room feel lovely.

Your growing edge

Choosing. Seeing every side can make it hard to stand on one.

How decans work

Each sign is thirty degrees of the zodiac, split into three decans of ten degrees, so the Sun spends about ten days in each. Hali uses the modern decan rulers, where each decan borrows the ruler of a sign of the same element. The older Chaldean system of Hellenistic astrology hands the decans to the seven classical planets in a fixed order instead, so some books name a different ruler.
