Today’s Goddess: Tula

Libra Begins (Various Locations)

 Themes:  Balance; Justice; Peace

Symbols: Scales; Balanced Items

About Tula:  This Hindu Goddess is represented by the constellation Libra, her name even meaning "balance".  In all things, Tula teaches us how to harmonize the diverse nature of our hectic lives and reintegrate Goddess-centred ideology within that framework.

To Do Today:  People born under the sign of Libra seem to integrate Tula's characteristics of harmony and balance, especially in aesthetic sense.  They cultivate relationships carefully and enjoy fighting for just causes.  When those of us not born under this sign would like to do similarly, we can call on Tula for aid.  Stand on the bathroom scale first thing in the morning and invoke her, saying,

Tula, instil in me a growing sense of harmony.

Between sound and silence let serenity dance;

between the shadow and the light, let peace prance.

Where're injustice dwells, let equity swell;

in my heart, in my life, bring an end to all strife.

Afterward, try to dress in balanced tones of clothing (like a white shirt and black pants) and spend the rest of the day monitoring your personal balance--your sense of equilibrium--maintaining your temper, pacing your steps, being aware of your centre of gravity.  In all these things, Tula's equitable energy abides.
