Moses was born on October 7, 1393 B.C. in Egypt, which makes his zodiac sign Libra. Libra is known as the sign of balance, relating to social justice, objectivity, and fairness. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, romance, and relationships.
Moses was born into a time of turmoil, when the Hebrew slaves of Egypt struggled to live in freedom. He became the leader of the Israelites, taking them out of slavery in Egypt and guiding them on the journey to the Promised Land, Canaan. His life story of courage and strength has become a cornerstone of Jewish and Christian religious beliefs, and has inspired people around the world.
He developed a set of laws and ethical standards that formed the basis for Jewish and later Christian religious practice and served as a foundation for modern moral law. As a leader and prophet, Moses was an inspiration to his people who believed that he acted with divine authority. He showed them their individual and collective worth, and that through faith and unity, debilitating struggles can be won. His courage and wisdom left a legacy to be admired and continue to inspire people to this day.
Even from an early age, Moses was keenly aware of the injustice and despair of those around him. At one point, in a fit of anger he killed an Egyptian who was abusing a slave, but was eventually able to forgive himself and redeem his status. He grew up and lived both in Midian and Egypt, giving him a unique understanding of the lessons of both cultures and allowing him to find common ground in his negotiations with Pharaoh on behalf of the Israelites.
Moses was ultimately successful in brokering a tentative peace between the Israelites and Pharaoh, though his leadership was challenged and disputed by many. He also led his people in establishing a vast body of law and justice that stands to this day. His ultimate success in gaining freedom for his people and his powerful stories of faith, resilience and courage are an inspiration to all who share his journey. Jews and Christians honor him as one of the greatest prophets in history and he continues to inspire people around the world.
