Libra, the Scales |
|
| Themis was the daughter of Uranus and Gaea. She was the personification of things established by law, custom, and ethics. She was an ancient prophetic divinity who possessed the Delphic oracle after her mother Gaea. She convened the assembly of gods on Zeus' command and was given the greatest respect. She was on good terms with all. | |
| Themis was associated with the cornucopia and the symbol of the scales for balance and justice. She was also the mother of Astraea (Virgo), goddess of innocence and purity. Themis, as the symbolic scales, was placed in the heavens in the constellation Libra next to her daughter Astraea to shine side by side. Legend has it that when the human race reaches its golden age, Themis and Astraea would return to earth as justice and innocence. | |
