Decan Ruler (Moon): Individuals born with the Moon in the first decan of Libra tend to have gentle and agreeable temperaments. Those with this placement are sympathetic to injustices and possess a natural ability to foster peace in times of conflict, often soothing others with their mere presence.

Sign (Libra): In the first decan of Libra, the principle of justice disrupts the peace that conceals inequalities, revealing that true peace can only be attained through confronting and correcting these injustices. It is only by recognizing and rectifying these injustices through balance that lasting peace can be achieved. This decan symbolizes achieving peace by facing and remedying the inequalities that disturb true harmony, both in relationships with others and within the self. 

2: Twos represent balance in the world of the element.

Tree of Life (Chokmah in Yetzirah): The Two of Swords corresponds to Chokmah in Yetzirah. In the astral world, Chokmah is the balance of thoughts.  

Sephira (Chokmah): All twos deal with the dynamic outpouring of creative energy, and correspond to the second sephira, Chokmah, which is commonly referred to by Qabalists as “Wisdom.” Chokmah is associated with Uranus. Uranus represents the divine as an endlessly renewing force in human life. The Uranus archetype ignites evolution, urging us to express ourselves with unrestrained freedom and, through sudden breakthroughs and revolutionary shifts, ultimately awakening us to our authentic true nature. 

World (Yetzirah): All Swords correspond to the third of four worlds, Yetzirah (The World of Formation), which is also called the formative world. The element associated with the World of Yetzirah is Air.

The Story of Air: The element of air, traditionally symbolized by the suit of swords in the Tarot system, embodies the preeminent power of the intellect. The astrological air signs are renowned for their exceptional cognitive abilities, encompassing critical thinking and articulate expression. The intellect, a quintessential quality intrinsic to the air element, facilitates the processes of analysis, division, and the incisive capacity to cut through complexities when confronted with intricate problems that necessitate rational and discerning solutions. The narratives and stories aligned with the air element revolve thematically around the exploration of confronting and resolving challenges through the strategic application of mental faculties.
