This power of this face is nearly ideal for the binding of two things together, whether they be people in marriage, business entities, or merely a promise to oneself. It contains the formulae not only for knitting together, but continuing in happy union, and is therefore an arcanum of wonderful power.
– Austin Coppock, 36 Faces
Libra II is about committing to a promise within relationship. That promise might be to someone else – a lover, a spouse, a child, a friend, a collaborator – or it might be to the self. This is Libra, so there is a deep connection to love and relationships because of the Venus rulership of the sign.
Zone Rites, the name I have chosen for this atmosphere, is about the power of protecting a bond, a promise, or a relationship to self or others.
What happens within the zone can be wild, magical, and sacred, so long as it is protected by the power of a safe container.
