Libra ! About Your
Self... |
Libra is the
only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing
either humans or animals. Many modern astrologers regard it as
the most desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the
zenith of the year, the high point of the seasons, when the
harvest of all the hard work of the spring is reaped. There is
a mellowness and sense of relaxation in the air as mankind
enjoys the last of the summer sun and the fruits of his toil.
Librans too are among the most civilized of the twelve
zodiacal characters and are often good looking. They have
elegance, charm and good taste, are naturally kind, very
gentle, and lovers of beauty, harmony (both in music and
social living) and the pleasures that these bring.
They have good critical faculty and are able to stand
back and look impartially at matters which call for an
impartial judgment to be made on them. But they do not
tolerate argument from anyone who challenges their opinions,
for once they have reached a conclusion, its truth seems to
them self-evident; and among their faults is an impatience of
criticism and a greed for approval. But their characters are
on the whole balanced, diplomatic and even
tempered.
Librans are sensitive to the needs of others
and have the gift, sometimes to an almost psychic extent, of
understanding the emotional needs of their companions and
meeting them with their own innate optimism - they are the
kind of people of whom it is said, "They always make you feel
better for having been with them." They are very social human
beings. They loathe cruelty, viciousness and vulgarity and
detest conflict between people, so they do their best to
cooperate and compromise with everyone around them, and their
ideal for their own circle and for society as a whole is
unity.
Their cast of mind is artistic rather than
intellectual, though they are usually too moderate and well
balanced to be avant garde in any artistic endeavor. They have
good perception and observation and their critical ability,
with which they are able to view their own efforts as well as
those of others, gives their work integrity.
In their
personal relationships they show understanding of the other
person's point of view, trying to resolve any differences by
compromise, and are often willing to allow claims against
themselves to be settled to their own disadvantage rather than
spoil a relationship. They like the opposite sex to the extent
of promiscuity sometimes, and may indulge in romanticism
bordering on sentimentality. Their marriages, however, stand a
good chance of success because they are frequently the union
of "true minds". The Libran's continuing kindness toward his
or her partner mollifies any hurt the latter may feel if the
two have had a tiff. Nor can the Libran's spouse often
complain that he or she is not understood, for the Libran is
usually the most empathetic of all the zodiacal types and the
most ready to tolerate the beloved's failings. The negative
Libran character may show frivolity, flirtatiousness and
shallowness. It can be changeable and indecisive, impatient of
routine, colorlessly conventional and timid, easygoing to the
point of inertia, seldom angry when circumstances demand a
show of annoyance at least; and yet Librans can shock everyone
around them with sudden storms of rage. Their love of pleasure
may lead them into extravagance; Libran men can degenerate
into reckless gamblers, and Libran women extravagant, jealous
and careless about money sometimes squander their wealth and
talents in their over enthusiasm for causes which they
espouse. Both sexes can become great gossipers. A
characteristic of the type is an insatiable curiosity that
tempts them to enquire into every social scandal in their
circle.
In their work the description "lazy Libra"
which is sometimes given is actually more alliterative than
true. Librans can be surprisingly energetic, though it is true
that they dislike coarse, dirty work. Although some are
modestly content, others are extremely ambitious. With their
dislike of extremes they make good diplomats but perhaps poor
party politicians, for they are moderate in their opinions and
able to see other points of view. They can succeed as
administrators, lawyers (they have a strong sense of justice,
which cynics might say could handicap them in a legal career),
antique dealers, civil servants and bankers, for they are
trustworthy in handling other people's money. Some Librans are
gifted in fashion designing or in devising new cosmetics;
others may find success as artists, composers, critics,
writers, interior decorators, welfare workers or valuers, and
they have ability in the management of all sorts of public
entertainment. Some work philanthropically for humanity with
great self-disciple and significant results. Libran financiers
sometimes make good speculators, for they have the optimism
and ability to recover from financial
crashes.

Possible Health
Concerns... |
Libra governs
the lumbar region, lower back and kidneys. Its subjects must
beware of weaknesses in the back, and lumbago, and they are
susceptible to troubles in the kidneys and bladder, especially
gravel and stone. They need to avoid overindulgence in food
and especially drink, for the latter can particularly harm the
kidneys.

PROBLEMS THAT
MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS |
As with all sun
signs, we all have unique traits to our personalities. When
these traits are suppressed, or unrealized, problems will
arise. However, with astrology we can examine the problem and
assess the proper solution based on the sun sign
characteristics. As a Libran you may see things below that
really strike home. Try the solution, you most likely will be
amazed at the results. If you find yourself on the receiving
end of the negatives below, it is because you are failing to
express the positive.
Problem : Finding yourself
frequently trapped in situations that have no depth and little
value to you or the other person.
Solution : Try not
to pretend feelings you do not have and find a way to back
gracefully out of a superficial relationship; look before you
leap.
Problem : You find that you do not really
like yourself and/or beating yourself up over not being able
to please another.
Solution : If you learn how to
please yourself without depriving others, then you will be
able to please someone else.
Problem : The
situations that make you ill at ease is only mildly irritating
to another.
Solution : Try to cultivate inner
security through spiritual strength and
awareness.
Problem : Feeling like you are
nothing: your actions being frustrating to
others.
Solution : Developing your feelings of self
worth by expressing the positive in your nature and not
letting your elitist, class consciousness
show.

The symbol
associated with your sign is the scales of balance
representing the balance that you continually seek in your
self and your life. The scales were also adopted by our
judicial system to symbolize a balance of fairness in the law
which is emphasized by 'blind justice' holding
them.
