Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.

– W. B. Yeats, ‘The Second Coming’

Libra III is a place where storm clouds dominate – for some people that can be reassuring because it is so clear what is happening. There are dark clouds gathering, there will be a storm. There is the possibility of aesthetic and sensory pleasure.

For some people it is more oppressive – they feel that air pressure change in a more intrusive and claustrophobic way.

It depends on your mood as to how you might interpret the storm clouds.
