The Person
 
Outgoing, warm-hearted, and very sociable, Librans, like the Scales that represent the sign, are frequently concerned with achieving balance, harmony, peace, and justice in the world around them. And they are will-equipped to do that with their enormous reserves of charm, cleverness, frankness, persuasion, and easy communication. They tend at times to be too facile and laid-back and have earned an undeserved reputation for laziness. In fact, they can be hard workers and are often leaders in their fields. They are especially good at ay “peacekeeping” types of jobs, because they have the remarkable gift of easily seeing both sides of an issue.

 
Love
 

It was probably a Libra who helped Noah pair u the animals for the Ark. For children of Venus, two by two is the natural way to go through life. Love is as essential as the air you breathe, and you are mot happy without a companion by your side. Similarly, when you are in love, keep at least one corner of your mind cool and clear. While it is delightful to plan the most charming of wedding ceremonies, you must also give some thought to what comes afterward!

You are a true romantic, and it is always a joy to be wooed by you. You shower your loved one with presents, set up the most romantic dates, and spend considerably more than you can afford on someone you love. And need that love to be reciprocated, not only romantically but also sexually. You are very happy to please your partner, but you do need to hear his or her cry of delight or sigh of contentment. Even more, you tend to treat any suggestion that lovemaking be postponed for an evening as a personal criticism. And while you love a well-balanced relationship, you occasionally come down too heavily on your side of the scale.

One reason for this Libran tendency is that you take people at face value. If someone flirts with you, for example, you find it difficult to tell the difference between simple flirtation and a genuine declaration of true love. Taking that path may lead to disaster!


 
Career
 

For Libra, work is not just a way to pay the bills, it also adds enjoyment to your life – or causes you stress and frustration. With the Moon guiding your career through Cancer, and Neptune ruling your work environment and relationships through Pisces, harmony on the job is as important as what you do for a living. When you are applying for work, don’t rely only on an interview in the human resources department. Tour the building and check out your work area and other places where employees hang out, like the break room, cafeteria or exercise facilities. Ask to meet the person who would supervise you and the people you’d be expected to work with.

The more you know about a company before you accept a job, the less likely you’ll quit a few months later when you notice that crowed conditions, drab surroundings, loud noise or unpleasant co-workers are stealing your peace of mind. When choosing between two similar offers, pick the one whose atmosphere you like best. Even if that job doesn’t pay as much as the other at the start, you will thrive there and probably be promoted sooner.

Libra is a logical air sign. Your symbolic Scales represent your fair-minded approach to problems and your ability to see both sides of an issue. That is why so many Librans excel as lawyers, scientists, researchers, reporters, newscasters and talk show hosts.

Venus’ ruler ship also suggests fields like fashion modeling and design, music, real estate, interior decorating, fine arts and luxury goods.

You may be most successful running a small business of your own, but if possible, find a partner with a keener eye for practicalities than you have. You sill shines when dealing with customers, because you are so good at making others feel comfortable and at ease.


 
Money
 

Libra loves beauty and luxury, but Pluto-ruled Scorpio, your money sign, encourages frugality in your quest for financial security. You don’t like putting your desires on hold until you can afford them, but Scorpio’s thrifty approach pays off. This is the sign of big business and personal fortunes. In finances, as in most areas of your life, you do best with a partner. Scorpio rules the universal 8th House, associated with other people’s money. And Libra’s personal 8th House is ruled by Venus, through its other sign, earthy Taurus. So pooling resources often pays off for you. Sharing a business, home or vacation getaway could bring financial security – as long as you choose associates wisely and have a lawyer look at contracts before you sign.

Although it’s wise to act like a Scorpio – clipping coupons, paying cash whenever possible, and refusing to buy anything that is not on sale- your luxury-loving Libran nature allows you to turn your passions and creativity into profitable sidelines.


 
Health, Diet, and Exercise
 

Librans need balance in everything, and diet and exercise are no exceptions. You have abundant energy, but you should aim to use that energy steadily and evenly; then you can do an enormous amount of work without exhausting yourself. One reason for regular exercise is that you may put on weight too easily. And though your ruling planet, Venus, has endowed you with more than a modicum of beauty, extra fat can ruin those good looks. For the same reason, try to keep that Libran sweet tooth under control, as well as your love of good food and good wine! Discipline is not a pleasant work to Librans, but balance should, however, come naturally. So take everything in due proportion.

You probably have a slow metabolism. Engaging in exercise that stimulates your metabolism is a good idea, but, unfortunately, you may well have a strong natural dislike of all exercise. Nevertheless, find some form of working out that you regimen at a good gym or sports club, if only to savor the relaxing and/or social activities that are also available; a massage, a facial, or just chatting in the bar over a fresh orange juice!

Libra rules the kidneys, and if you feel off-color on a chronic basis- and are having headaches, in particular – a visit to your doctor is a good idea. Your ruling planet, Venus, governs the parathyroid gland. If there is an imbalance in those fluids, or problems with elimination, your health can suffer. If you being to feel heavy and slow, it will be worth your while to get a thorough checkup.


 
Leisure and Retirement
 

Leisure is important to Librans; in fact, they can almost make a career out of it. So you will look forward to retirement and spend a lot of time working slowly and steadily toward a particular goal. If you have an ear for music, you’ll find it delightful to learn a musical instrument. And since you love entertaining your friends, gourmet cooking may be a skill you enjoy acquiring. On the other hand, many outwardly charming Librans may need some kind of vigorous physical activity as an outlet for their inner aggression. That is right, we said aggression.

Both men and women will enjoy judo. Libran women especially enjoy – and are good at – learning self-defense techniques. Libran men often become extremely adept at karate. Aggression can also be channeled positively in fast-moving games, such as soccer, tennis, and squash. Librans usually have a strong creative streak, and this may well be expressed in photography – an activity that often strongly appeals to Librans. They enjoy not only taking photographs, but also doing their own developing and printing. Librans make good dressmakers and fashion designers, too, and they seem to have a natural instinct for making clothes that soon become the very latest fashion trends.

It is a surprising fact – but a true one: Librans tend to have a very deep-rooted and nature aggressive tendency that is at odds with their otherwise charming, sociable, and laid-back nature. It is a good idea, therefore, to use leisure-time activities to externalize this aggression, so that it is not expressed in road rage, physical or verbal altercations, or any other self-destructive habits.
