Born between September
23rd - October 22nd
The likeable sign of Libra, ruled by Venus,
has great skill in creating an artistic and socially comfortable
environment. Physically, it is related to the kidneys and
is said to have a masculine nature, therefore more socially
outgoing. As an Air sign it is connected with the mentality
and making connection with others and as a Cardinal sign there
is ambition and a dynamic expression to its energy. Motivated
to achieve social or relationship goals, Libra is known for
its good taste, social skills and the ability to be diplomatic.
Planets placed in Libra always see both sides of the situation,
can have a hard time making up their minds, and are keyed
towards attaining equilibrium in all things. Although they
love peace, Librans will upset the apple cart in an effort
to acquire better balance in relationship. Here is a strong
concern with the principles of fairness and justice, and great
interest in getting people to function smoothly together.
In relationship, there is willingness to compromise for the
sake of the whole. However, Librans can easily lose track
of their own needs and feelings in an attempt to please others,
and must learn greater self-awareness and self-assertion.
Cooperation and helpfulness must go both ways and their natural
forgiving nature often makes Librans blind to the decree they
can be manipulated by others seeking control. The major formative
experiences in life come through intimate bonds to others,
which can lead to profound self reevaluation and personal
development. While they are most themselves in connection
with others, Librans must also learn to let the relationship
go occasionally, in order to bring in a more honest connection
and to allow others to meet them half way. Being true to ones
self means not always compromising ones needs and Librans
must learn to be selfish and say NO sometimes, in all areas
of their lives. Romance is essential to keep the heart invested,
and this sign is quite skilled at recreating conditions for
love. They have a natural charm and grace, and an appreciation
of beauty, good taste and social etiquette that can assist
others in creating a more harmonious environment.
Moon
in Libra is very concerned with emotional harmony, and being
a natural diplomat they can live to meet the expectations
of others, rather than listening to their own internal needs.
Charming, friendly and gracious, this placement is often popular
and talented with the arts. Negatively, they can be fickle
and overly critical and dependant on others. Decisiveness
is challenged here, as is setting good emotional boundaries,
but they make wonderful companions and their hard working
but easy going manner is a joy in partnership.
Mercury
in Libra has a particularly difficult time saying the "N"
word and can find themselves constantly thinking of the other
guy's perspective, particularly in argument, which they avoid
like the plague. Here we see good reasoning, a talent for
the genteel word, an easy going speaking manner and appreciation
for both sides of any question. This can make decision making
really a burden and if the planet is badly aspected, it describes
a person who constantly bounces from one thing to the next,
and speaking from both sides of their mouth in an attempt
to be everything to everybody. Education is helpful here to
encourage mental application and avoid a weak will.
Venus
in Libra is the artist, the lover, the socialite. Genteel
at all costs, there is a lovely manner in everyday gestures
and they make loyal and thoughtful friends and lovers. Perhaps
a tendency toward creature comfort and generosity can lead
to extravagance, but in general this placement brings the
fine art of balance to all they touch. Beauty and an elegant
environment is essential and love must come with all the niceties
and a strong sense of tact and refinement in order to be the
least bit appealing. Business and emotional partnerships are
what drives this sign and brings a sense of fulfillment to
the life. They must watch not becoming made in their partner's
image.
Mars
is Libra is easy going, relationship oriented, and willing
to just "do what works". Not one to stand and fight,
even with the truth is on their side, they will avoid conflict
and compromise themselves away if they're not careful. The
energy bounces from languid to passionate here, and they are
most strongly called into action in a challenge to win over
the partner. Willing to work very hard for nice things, they
appreciate beauty and harmony and generally bring this along
with them wherever they go, along with a great sense of humor.
They are highly intuitive, but can still rush into relationship
and lose their own perspective in the process. Decision making
is not their strong suit, as they see both sides of every
question. While confrontation is abhorrent to this placement,
they don't mind a lively debate and may even goad others,
looking for a good quarrel.
