September 23-October 23
BEAUTY, BALANCE, harmony, and justice -- these are the values of this Venus-ruled sign.
Whatever a Libra is into, be it clothes, cars, electronics, or fine dining -- they never settle for less than the best. The Libra woman is best described as the "feminine feminist." The symbol of this sign, the scales, is the key to understanding the Libran personality. The need for balance and harmony is their prime motivation in life. Their way of achieving this is to explore all the options and consider all the possibilities before arriving at a decision. Librans have a natural flair for mediating, bringing opposing sides together; they deeply dislike taking one person's side against another. Their ability to see both points of view coupled with a fear of hurting others can make the typical Libran appear indecisive, but their inherent sense of justice and fair play drives them to seek a solution acceptable to all. Being an air sign, Librans use their minds to seek resolution in any conflict.
Librans have a very strong need to form relationships and are never truly happy when alone. Often they see a relationship as giving them a sense of identity and validity. They have a great deal of loving affection to give to a partner and need to receive the same in return. Unpleasantness or a quarrelsome atmosphere is deeply distressing to Libra's innate sense of harmony, although there is nothing they love more than making up after a squabble. Venus' rulership of this sign imparts a sensuality and a love of luxurious surroundings; Librans adore setting the scene for a romantic evening, and will go to a lot of trouble to make sure that the atmosphere is right.
Although you'll find Librans - as with the other eleven signs - in every walk of life, there are some occupations in which they are far happier. At work Librans have a calm unflappable air, perhaps disguising the fact that they are ambitious in their careers. Suited to any profession where their skills of tact and diplomacy count for something, they make excellent personnel management, counsellors of various kinds, and of course their innate sense of justice can serve the law well. Their appreciation of the arts and all things of beauty equips them well for a career in the fashion industry or beauty/alternative health fields. They are innovative at design and decor, whether dressing a stage, a window or a top model. As they make such efforts to get on well with others any career that involves the bringing together of people is a natural extension of their abilities.
Librans are charm personified; people take to them at once and this they thrive upon. They have a friendly, genuine interest in the people around them and take a pretty laid-back attitude to life most of the time. Don't be deceived by this however, Librans accomplish this only through knowing that they have everything balanced and under control. By Cambiel and Ophia.
