Libra is the only inanimate ( non-living ) star sign in 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.
Those born under the star sign of Libra 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.
The cast of mind of Libra is artistic rather than
intellectual, though they are usually too
moderate and well balanced to be avant garde
in any artistic endeavour. 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 Librans show
understanding of the other person's point of
view, trying to resolve any differences by
compromise, and they 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.
Libra 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 side of Libra character may show
frivolity, flirtatiousness and shallowness. It
can be changeable and indecisive, impatient of
routine, colourlessly 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 this Libra 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 an 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.

PROBLEMS
THAT MAY ARISE FOR LIBRA...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.
