In this eighteenth episode of Parts & Charts: The IFS and Astrology Podcast, Chelsea and KP explore the Libra archetype (the sign of balance, beauty, and relationship) and its connection to parts work, projection, and self-reflection.
Together, they discuss Libra’s mythic symbolism, Venus’s rulership, the spectrum between harmony and conflict avoidance, and how Libra teaches us to meet others without losing ourselves.
