 With
charming Libra as your star sign, the
Sun in the Zodiac shone through a masculine
sign on your birthday. The Sun in astrology
stands for your inner nature, the mark
of your real character. Libra is ruled
by Venus, the planet of love, beauty and
social grace, and is the seventh sign
of the Zodiac. A cardinal sign, creative
Libra governs partnerships, the arts,
and making sense of self in relation to
other. It is an air sign, so Libran people
seek aesthetic pleasure, balance in relationships
and a harmonious environment. And although
you can always see both sides of any issue,
this often leads down the slippery slope
to procrastination and vacillation
The Sun, the ruler of our inner nature,
falls in Libra, the exaltation of Saturn.
Your love of justice, combined with the
need to be fair and even-handed contributes
to that characteristic difficulty you
find in making decisions quickly. You
should beware of falling for flattery,
because you love to be admired, especially
for your taste, charm and appreciation
for excellence in the arts, including
personal adornments, dress, home decor,
hair styling and so on. You graciously
accept praise for your achievements and
will gladly give praise to others, when
they deserve it (and even when they don't,
should you be trying to talk them into
something...)
In spite of your need to be liked, and
reluctance to face confrontations, you
are surprisingly strong-willed. You set
out to accomplish your chosen goals and
will find ways to succeed one way or another,
usually by using your wit and charm. The
"iron fist in a velvet glove"
approach is one key to your success. If
you become convinced nothing more is to
be gained no matter what you do, you won't
hesitate to walk away from a situation
with no further explanation or thought
of returning. The Balance is Libra's astrological
symbol and you require balance in your
life. In relationships, you invariably
give back in kind what you have been given.
Emotional, physical, and psychological
pleasure comes to you from beauty in all
its forms. Books, music, flowers, and
perfume are typical delights. If your
environment is less than pleasing, you
can become unhappy without even realizing
that your surroundings may be responsible
for your despondency. Social grace begins
with good manners, extends to high level
diplomacy, and ends with abhorrence of
disagreeable confrontations. You promote
peace and harmony, and usually opt to
bypass hostile confrontations whenever
some other method can be employed.
You can exert impressive physical energy
at times, but your stamina tends to run
in cycles. You work hard and play hard,
then collapse into inertia until nature
restores the balance. Addicted to luxuries
and creature comforts, your inclinations
sway to the slothful, especially when
the subject of physical exercise rears
its ugly head. That fondness for rich
food and sticky buns means you actually
need proper physical exercise. Tennis,
hiking, horseback riding, skating, and
aerobics have some appeal, but the virtues
of physical fitness may indeed fail to
attract you; watch you don't turn into
a couch potato.
Libra rules the kidneys, lower back,
and ovaries. Lower back pain, and problems
caused by too much sugar or rich food
are common complaints. Librans are also
subject to interminable hovering between
alternatives, or inability to make firm
decisions, especially under pressure,
when you can be pushed by others into
taking steps you later regret.
Libra colours are ivory,
pink (or rose), turquoise, and blue. A
traditional birthstone for Libra is the
blue sapphire, but another useful stone
for you is the opal. This unique gem consists
mostly of ordinary sand and water. Just
as hidden water in opals cause the fire
in the gem, there is more emotional content
than is apparent behind the brilliant
flashes of the Libran intellect. Libra
rules flowers in general but particularly
appropriate blooms for Libra include roses
(white or pink), daisies, violets, asters
and orchids.
