Stacy's Sun Sign

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 Prefrences

Food:
Libra gets two of everything in a meal, and it may take them a little while to decide which dish they prefer. These dishes, however, will most likely contain some of their favorite flavorings, like cloves, ginger, mint and vanilla.

Movies:
The Scales are happy with a little of all worlds, or are entirely willing to watch whatever is on, just so long as they don't need to go to the video store and make an actual decision. Check out When Harry Met Sally or Sleepless in Seattle for the romantic displays of two people working everything out in the end.

Music:
The Scales can't decide which type of music is their favorite, they only want to make sure that whatever they're playing doesn't offend anyone. When the kids are around they'll listen to Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys, and they'll flip the radio to oldies when friends or relatives are in the car. For themselves, top 40 seems just right.

Restaurants:
The well-mannered Libra takes their refinement and charm to an equally sophisticated eating establishment. Five-star dining in the best restaurant around is right in style with your tastes.

Sports:
The partnership-pursuing Scales will seek out mental sports played in pairs or activities that put their balance to the test; for example, gymnastics, figure skating, handball or skateboarding.

Television:
What better entertainment for a Libra than watching Law and Order? You probably enjoy shows that are popular enough to talk about tomorrow, but that appeal to your sense of fairness and balance. Old romantic-at-heart favorites might include Cheers and Mad About You.
