About Libra
Libra is the seventh Sign of the Zodiac, and it is at this point
in the Zodiac that we start to see a shift. While the first six
Signs of the Zodiac focus on the individual, the last six focus
on the individual's contact with others and with the world. Librans
are first and foremost focused on others and how they relate to
them. We can call this the Sign of partnership with a capital 'P'
because these folks do not want to be alone! For a Libran, everything
is better if it's done as a pair. Librans are good when paired up,
too, since they epitomize balance, harmony and a sense of fair play.
While they are true team players at work, their favorite partnership
is at home: marriage. Librans feel most complete when they are coupled
up with their lover, forever.
It's the Scales which symbolize Libra, and just like that balancing
mechanism wants to stay even, Librans want to be on an even keel.
Think of the Scales of Justice and how they work at striking the
right balance. Likewise, Librans are objective, just and want to
do what's best for everyone. It's possible, though, that this penchant
for fairness is for a different reason: Librans abhor conflict.
The Scales study every possible angle in the hopes of achieving
peace and harmony, so much so that others may see them as fickle
and indecisive. If that's what it takes to avoid a confrontation,
that's fine with the Scales. The Libra-born are keen strategists,
organizing groups with poise and getting the job done (in keeping
with the Cardinal Quality assigned to this Sign). Further, you can
expect the Scales to be companionable, sociable folks.
Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus. In ancient Roman mythology,
Venus was a smooth seductress who was at her best amid pleasurable
excess. Well, Librans are certainly carrying the torch for her today.
The Scales are cultured, refined and love beautiful things. Most
of all, they love beautiful people, which is why Librans do so well
at cocktail parties or at the theater, opera or ballet. Those born
under this Sign always have the right thing to say and know how
to make others feel comfortable. Suave? You bet. Librans are so
adept at charming conversation that they need to be mindful of overstepping
their boundaries and appearing vain or gossipy (the Scales do love
intrigue). When these folks are on their game, however, they are
a pleasure to be with. Librans are artistic, stylish and enjoy creating
a beautiful world. The converse of this is that bored Librans can
become apathetic and lazy -- but they'll smile anyway.
The Element associated with Libra is Air, and that means reaching
higher, specifically to the higher mind. Librans like to put their
mind to good use, and enjoy communicating their thoughts to others.
They like to use their smarts (and talk) to get to know others better
-- yes, knowledge about people is where it's at for Librans. You
can expect the Scales to make a fair argument, too, since they live
by the principles of diplomacy and compromise. When this approach
doesn't work, however, Librans are not above using their persuasive
charms to get their way. Manipulative? Nah, Librans really are too
nice for that. Plus, any end-runs that these folks use are usually
to build themselves up, since the Scales can be easily deterred.
Librans are polite and don't like to fight, far preferring to talk
things through. Remember, these folks know how to communicate (they're
Air) so they're bound to make their point. Librans don't get in
a huff when faced with an opposing viewpoint. Rather, they take
a deep breath and consider all the options in the spirit of cooperation.
Librans at play may not be as energized as at work, if you call
socializing work (and the Scales do). That's why exercise for Librans
needs to have a social component to it, such as that found at a
gym. Alternatively, Librans love the outdoors, so riding and biking
can also prove fun. They also love the colors of the sunset sky,
that melding of ivory, pink and light blue. In the game of love,
Librans are a bundle of energy, romantic and loyal to the core.
The Scales need to be on the lookout for their lower backs, though,
which tend to shoulder any burdens they may be carrying.
The great strength of the Libra-born is their quest for fairness,
peace and harmony. That the Scales are the great diplomats of the
Zodiac further helps their case. A beautiful journey this will be,
thanks to the Libran's inimitable sense of style.
