Libra
Libra's key words
are "I balance."
His ruler, Venus,
conveys charm and
grace upon him as
well as an eye for
beauty. As the sign
of marriage,
relationships, and
partnership, Libra
values harmony and
cooperation above
all else. He seeks
balance and
moderation,
carefully weighing
all sides of an
issue before coming
to a conclusion. He
dislikes arguments
and crude behavior.
He believes it's
important to get
along well with
others, and he cares
what they think of
him.
Libra's moderate,
"peace at any price"
nature can cause
others to
underestimate him.
He's a logical,
intellectual sign
that needs mental
stimulation. He
works equally as
well with systems
and ideas as with
people. Libra
excels at
diplomacy. And like
diplomats, he often
gets people to do
what he wants while
they believe it is
they who came up
with the ideas.
This ability to
bring others over to
his side without
conflict makes Libra
a good lawyer,
executive, or
counselor. Being
stronger willed than
others anticipate,
Libra earns his
reputation for
wearing a velvet
glove over an iron
fist.
This velvet glove
shows in his dislike
of crass behavior.
Libra, the master of
social
appropriateness,
believes people
should be "nice."
That's why he
doesn't like to
fight. It's also
why, at his worst,
it's so difficult to
get a straight
answer from him.
He's capable of
telling others what
they want to hear
regardless of what
he really thinks.
Yet, his reputation
for indecisiveness
is overrated. It
stems from his
tendency to look for
a way to "have it
all" himself and
please everybody
else at the same
time.
To Libra, life
without a
Significant
Other--whether it's
a spouse, lover, or
best friend--is
unimaginable. He
wants to someone to
share his life with,
someone whom he
considers an equal
and who shares his
interests and ideas,
or the relationship
has no meaning.
Because of this,
Libra may be
expected to be
emotional; but like
all air signs, he
relates mind to mind
and is much more
comfortable thinking
than feeling.
This contributes to
his tendency to
rationalize
remaining in
unsuitable
relationships.
While Libra can
manage by himself
perfectly well, at
his most
self-destructive, he
avoids being alone
no matter what the
circumstances. One
Libra, upon being
asked for a divorce
during a Neptune
transit, commented
"I never expected
it. We weren't
fighting." The fact
that he and his wife
had not spoken to
each other in years
had slipped his
mind.
Another side of
Libra's velvet glove
gets expressed
through Libra's
esthetic sense. He
appreciates culture
and enjoys art,
theater, and music.
He dresses well and
likes to be
noticed. Female
Libras frequently
adorn themselves
with decorative
jewelry, usually
made out of copper
(ruled by Venus) and
semi- precious
stones. Compliments
go a long way toward
winning Libra's
heart.
