I’m going through the chart practice rad sent. I’m reading 7th house libra.
Question: it says the individual has been learning objective awareness. Is this because it’s evolving from Virgo and this is a Virgo trait? Having self actualized in Leo and then going through humbling experiences (w the help of the analytical mind) the individual begins to reasses itself objectively ?
I’m asking because I thought objective awareness was more Aquarian. But now that I’m digesting this text I can totally see that it could be Virgo.
Also, as a beginner astrologer, I’m finding myself stuck in beginner things and I don’t want to look to “cookbooks” for possibly false information. I’m loving this and the old forum and I noticed a text rad posted about a book for more foundational astro info “ a handbook for the humanistic astrologer by michael Meyer”
Would you recommend this for me?
If there’s anywhere else to get more beginner astrology to help me be able to read a chart I would really appreciate it so I don’t have to keep asking beginner questions. I just really want to get better at this. I really love it and I think I can be great at it. I relate a lot with needing the ultimate “why” answered, get down to the root and work my way back up (in EA astro)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, and then relative to the Libra, 7th House, Venus archetype the Soul is learning through listening to other humans their reality as it exists for them. This listening to others then teaches the Soul how to understand objectively the reality of other people, and thus themselves. A related archetype is learning to give to others vs what others can give to the Soul. To give to another they actually need requires the Soul to understand others objectively. In this way the Soul is then also learning how to inwardly listen to itself in order to understand who it is objectively in order to receive from others what it needs.

Aquarius is indeed an archetype of objectivity that is totally actualized. It is totally actualized relative to the totality of reality in general, and individual reality specifically. This process begins in Libra wherein Libra is part of the natural triad, trinity, of Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini.

In my opinion this book is the very best of all books to understand the fundamentals of astrology in general. Everything that you or others would need as a beginning astrologer in in that book: everything.
One of the problems that so many have in the beginning of learning astrology is reading to much because of the all the books about astrology. Most of these books themselves are writing by people who have memorized that which they have learned from what they have read themselves. Most of what has been writing in astrology is what JWG called descriptive astrology: simply describing something.
Evolutionary astrology is about the WHY of anything. Meyer's book is also about the why of fundamentals of astrology itself. It is all you would really need to read in order to understand those fundamentals, and not waste your time with of written astrology which is, again, descriptive. One of the things JWG used to say about folks wanting to learn EA, the ones who have read to much of descriptive astrology, is how much he had to help them unlearn what they thought they knew in order to understand EA itself.
Your desire to learn EA will, and the knowing of the why of anything that it provides, will allow you to be the best astrologer that you can be.
God Bless, Rad
Side note about characteristics of libra.
I’ve been observing that Aquarius mercuries have a lot of trouble truly listening like you stated above. I thought it was an Aquarius sun trait but upon further investigation I realized it was Aquarius mercury as the aquarians that didn’t have issues venus-listening had mercuries in Capricorn. Upon asking, one aquarius mercury told me that they didn’t “internalize” what was said.
I found that so interesting!
And what you wrote above makes everything make more sense.
In French there’s ecouter and entendre and even though in English we have the same, I find the meaning doesn’t translate well enough.
One thing that I found personally was the importance of mercury compatibility. It feels so important and I don’t find much emphasis on it. But I think JWG (in an earlier dvd) said that compatibility of friendships has a lot to do with thinking alike.
Also your comment about the triad
So objective awareness begins in Gemini and is actualized in Aquarius?
Is that how all triads works, all have evolving archetypes that actualize in the last one? Like emotions I guess would begin the process in cancer and actualize in Pisces?
Wow 🤯 that helps me so much in understanding
