The opening drama of 2022 begins with an explosion.
Noonday Sun launched the web drama "Beginning", which is 8.2 points. This drama tells the story of the male protagonist Xiao Heyun and the female protagonist Li Shiqing after encountering a bus explosion, trapped in the time loop, they from trying to save themselves to fighting side by side, and finally uncover the truth of the explosion and save all the passengers on the car.
And this dilemma of life and death, but also from the two protagonists, deeply illuminated the prototype of Libra, and its growth, the way to break the game:
What should I do when I am caught up in a dilemma?
Should I feel guilty for abandoning others and taking the lead in preserving myself?
When I can't be "fair" and "kind" enough, does that mean I'm bad?
……
In each of our astrolabes, there are elements of Libra, and we have more or less faced the "dilemma" of life.
How to break the game? How do you break through the deep feelings of guilt, the fear of the unknown and imbalance?
Perhaps, we can all get some answers from the play "Beginning".
First, let's follow the plot, starting with Libra, who habitually chooses to escape...
"I can't be as kind as you, am I just bad?"
Xiao Heyun, the male protagonist of the play "Beginning", is a game architect, and the heroine Li Shiqing took the lead in entering the loop, and the only one who successfully pulled him into the time loop.
When Xiao Heyun discovered his situation, he made the first choice that most people face in the face of death and the unknown: escape.
Why escape? Because he is not yet strong enough to bear the consequences.
In "The Beginning", behind every choice is a living human life, a happy family, who of us has the right to make this choice for others?
This reminds me of one of the prototypes of Libra, Barris, who was caught in the "trilemma" decision.
In Greek mythology, Eris, the goddess of strife, resented that she had not been invited to the feast of the gods, and set off a war between the three goddesses with a golden apple "dedicated to the most beautiful goddess".
Zeus ordered the mortal Barris to judge, to choose the "most beautiful" of the three goddesses, and rejected his proposal for an equal division.
In the end, Barlis chose Helen, and Sheila, who was not chosen, provoked the Trojan War with Athena, while Barlis and his three sons were killed.
Libra's deeply buried, "fearful memory" of choice is presented in the plot of "The Beginning" like a reincarnation:
In the story, although the cycle is endless, the pain of each burning is real, which means that this is not an immersive decryption game, for the characters in the play, they really feel death, THEY feel the pain, then other passengers, police and passers-by are also hurt.
Each cycle covers the failure of the previous one, but it cannot cover the pain and guilt of the two protagonists, and their memories remind themselves again and again that their failures have once again led to the death of these people...
The two ends of the scale carry an unbearable weight of life, and Libra in the shadows can only choose to escape...
Libra's escape is often not out of cowardice, but because he has too much kindness and intolerance.
Whether it is Barlis or the male and female protagonists in this film, behind each of their choices may be the city of Troy full of corpses.
When Libra is forced to face the choice, the TA cannot bear the cost of choosing the wrong choice, and what is more cruel is that the choice in life is more of a dilemma, no matter which side is chosen, it is bound to hurt the other party, Libra can not make a judgment in such a choice, so it can only escape.
But Libra's hesitation is not all-encompassing, and when one thing is only related to ta itself, Libra may boldly startle you.
Those who make them think repeatedly, rather than escape, are often decisions related to others.
Behind Libra's escape, there is sometimes extreme compassion.
Another archetype of this constellation is Astria, the goddess of justice. She was a very tolerant god, but because she could not stand the chaos of the world, she finally chose to return to heaven blindfolded.
And this prototype is revealing the shadowy side of Libra — the source of excessive evasion.
For Libra in the shadows, what is placed opposite goodness is not badness, but a powerless compassion.
Just like the male protagonist Xiao Heyun, why did he choose to give up the rescue and get off the car himself in several cycles in the middle? Is he really just trying to protect himself? No. He was shaken because in their repeated attempts, instead of preventing the explosion, more people were hurt, such as the police who came to the rescue.
Escape is the pursuit of absolute fairness libra, leaving itself the most gentle lie.
If the first escape is exchanged for a short period of peace, Libra tastes the sweetness, even if he knows that this harmony is only a superficial lie, he will still choose to stay in the shadows and continue to escape.
Because avoidance is inertia, Libra will lose himself in repeated escape and compromise, and one day, even in the face of small choices, he will actively choose to escape.
The more afraid the more retreat, giving up the right to choose also means losing control of the self, when Libra looks indisputable, and under the kind smile is the wrapped self, and all this is left to him.
There is also a category of Libras that will go to the other extreme, that is, to fight violence with violence.
In "The Beginning", Xiao Heyun is a game architect who adds a lot of violent elements to the game he developed; after discovering the real culprit carrying the bomb on the car, they also use violent confrontation in several cycles, which is exactly in line with the negative psychology that most Libras subconsciously generate when they encounter injustice, and interpret their own Aries energy in a wrong way.
Because Libra focuses on civilization and emphasizes rules and order, the world does not operate in an absolutely fair form according to their ideas.
When some situation that is not in line with Libra's inner order occurs, Libra cannot convince people with reason, and may hope for some absolute power, such as violence.
In fact, all the dark side of Libra comes from the fact that he longs too longing for the world to go according to the established, absolutely rational rules, he wants absolute fairness, but life does not go on like this.
Libra needs to find this in constant choices and trade-offs, and life needs to be able to tolerate errors and biases.
Libra found in the oscillation between escape and radical poles that some things can not be escaped after all, and violence can not solve the actual dilemma, at this time Libra, really began to grow.
If you put aside the perspective of God, Li Shiqing can be regarded as a near-perfect Libra.
As the first person to wake up in the cycle, Li Shiqing did not live up to this only sober identity. She was calm and determined, and after several consecutive failures, she quickly found a breakthrough point; she was kind and soft, insisting on pulling Xiao Heyun off the bus because when she pretended to be ill in the first cycle and tried to get off the bus, only Xiao Heyun helped her.
In the Libra worldview, brief compromises, successive trials and errors are all preparations for the ultimate victory, and in any case, she never gives up on anyone in the car, nor does she force anyone to make meaningless sacrifices with herself.
When Xiao Heyun hesitated, collapsed, and gave up, she chose to firmly accompany him and gave him a choice: save people or get off the car, I respect all your decisions.
No zodiac sign can play such a key balancing role in the team as Libra, and he is not trying to highlight himself to be seen by the public, but is sincerely working to regulate this situation. Libra only needs to control his own life, and he craves relationships that are equal, not looked up or down.
Weighing relationships in a team and stabilizing the situation is a unique talent and potential of Libra.
The high-ranking Libra will act out of love, he will desire everyone to gain and grow in a relationship, and he is willing to work hard for it, even if it is like a warrior, to throw himself out.
The bombing in the play takes place on a bridge, and Libra happens to play the role of a bridge in the group.
When it comes to communication, Libra may not be as eloquent as gemini, which is like a warring force between two countries, and Libra is a slowly lowering trestle.
Good communication premise is to have a communicative environment, Libra created this condition, in a complicated relationship, first establish communication conditions libra has the dominant position in the team, but as mentioned earlier, Libra is just the first to throw out sincerity to create a harmonious and comfortable environment.
But the connection of this relationship gives the most powerful preparation for the ending to get out of the dilemma of the cycle.
The connection between relationship and emotion also promotes the transformation of the male protagonist Xiao Heyun.
Not only for Li Shiqing, he also began to have a different perspective on the other passengers in this car.
Why can an uncomplicated explosion be looped for 15 episodes? Because in each cycle, the director tries to lead us to interpret the case from more perspectives. Every passenger on this car has his own story, and the male and female protagonists have completed their own growth and transformation in the process of constantly absorbing these warm stories.
The dominant planet in Libra is Venus, which also happens to reveal the importance of relationships to Libra. What Libra needs is not one-sided love, but interaction between relationships. After they learn more about the background of the story, the bond between the protagonist and the passengers arises.
They perceive the vivid story of each passenger, although they do not know each other, but in each cycle, their actions have been responded to with kindness: the watermelon handed over by the melon uncle, the medicine sent by the grandmother, the enthusiastic fragments of the live blogger, and the sanitary napkin taken out by the suitcase uncle, these details all touch the shadow of Libra.
It also gives us a sense of how important, even if it may seem insignificant, to respond to the kindness of others in relationships.
At this point in the development of the plot, Libra feels that he is not alone in the team, and his choice brings not punishment but responsibility.
In the play, Xiao Heyun said this: Kindness is not a cheap virtue, it is to match ability.
This sentence is just right for Libra trapped in the shadows.
Libra is unable to properly exert his abilities, and the pity and anger generated by the injustice of the outside world are only cheap and meaningless, and the anger at this time is more like developing the wrong Aries trait into an incompetent rage.
The truly integrated Libra is to combine the courage and attack of the Aries front with the wisdom and relationship connection of Libra, so that they can exert their potential in the situation they are in, and also let themselves get liberation from the escape of self-punishment.
For the Aries energy of the palace, if this fire is too strong, the wind of Libra brings violence and bloodshed, and it is uncontrollable, and only by making good use of it is the spark of the stars that can burn the plains.
Aries gives Libra a chance to run forward, leaving the place to have room to examine himself: Are you setting the standard of equality too absolute? Have you repeatedly given up your self-interest in the pursuit of superficial harmony in your relationship? Are your attention focused on others?
For Libra, it is also necessary to understand that true harmony is not to force the waves of the external world to be unfazed, which is unrealistic. What Libra wants to learn is how to calm down these emotions that make you entangled in your heart, and temper them into love to fight, to fight the courage.
The moment you rush out is not terrible, and the moment that sometimes seems hesitant may just show that you already have the answer in your heart.
At the end of the plot, the protagonists use their own efforts to connect the passengers, the police, and the insiders of the old case many years ago, and complete the self-rescue with the joint efforts of the collective, and the end of this HE can be called the biggest praise for Libra.
Finally, to the Libras,
If you bloom, the butterflies will come.
But have you ever seen a flower that needs hesitation at what time to bloom?
