Justice

My phone screen inspired me.

Ok, everyone says that happens, but does it ever truly happen? By happen, I mean move you to tears, shake your soul, make you question your very purpose in life *glancing eyes emoji.*

Okay.

Seriously though, I was on Dior’s IGTV and they had a 15 minute movie trailer thing happening to highlight their Spring-Summer 2021 collection.

I’m into mystery and history, and all things ancient and powerful in aesthetic energy, but THIS… had nothing to do with star signs. I simply project astrology onto all things inspired by tarot cards but the sheer strength of Dior’s interpretation of Justice sitting in the room with her scales and haute couture gown stuck with me.

Looking back, I’ve imprinted a totally different idea of Dior’s Justice look and it has shaped in my memory as a personalization of Libra. Perhaps the image of the scales was the link in my neurons that allowed me to morph a very curated image of art and produce this version that I use to symbolize my core identity. I don't know a lot about astrology or tarot or symbolism but there must be a reason I'm making connections. It may have also been that justice is a fundamental trait of Libra and the symbolism stands to move a modern girl like me after centuries of astrological study.

That Dior Justice look took new shape in my mind as a woman that looked like me –– vain, little Libra. She was strong and diplomatic in the video which carried over into my mind’s vision of this Libra warrior.

I’ve heard people describe a Libra as professional, and Dior’s Justice doesn’t speak or react when The Fool enters the frame to interrupt our leading lady on IGTV. Would it display her non confrontational traits as well? Yes, truly, because those same behaviors transferred to my imagery of the Libra.

My gown became a muted red instead of Dior’s evergreen, as romantic as my Libra soul. I wanted to be her.

I became her.

By the time the 15 minute showcase was up, I was still marveling at Dior’s Justice. How profound of a reaction I had to something on a four inch screen. The world was quiet and I was free to elaborate on the ever shifting conception of Justice’s transformation into my Libra identity.

I am always emotional about art and beautiful things. Music strikes me and thoughts propel me and I’m still marveling at this mental entity that’s embodied my idealistic Libra representation. Naturally, I need to do something with this –– or not. But I’m dreaming of painting her, creating my own couture gown to dress myself (of course) into and have a photoshoot whose images will sit on my Instagram long after I’ve left this earth.

Such amazing unconscious idealism sprung out of my iPhone screen. I don’t know why and certainly don’t have a need to know why, but it makes me wonder if this ping from the universe is a sign of what could be if I take a journey into astrology. What beautiful things can I uncover and create as a result of that journey? Will I be a typical indecisive Libra and contemplate these things fighting for my attention? Is it possible that my new journey will bring out some flighty, unreliable traits that my sign gets so much flack for? What is even wrong with unapologetically displaying personality traits anyway?

Oh look, open mindedness that could rub off onto someone else.

But I won’t go down the internet rabbit hole tonight learning about astrology and what all of these happenstances mean in the chaos of the universe. I just watched 15 minutes of IGTV after a full day working virtually and writing this very entry.

I will cook something and take a walk because... balance.
