Libra Sept. 23 - Oct. 23

Libra, a cardinal energy Air sign, rules the 7th house in the Zodiac. Libra is ruled by Venus and it’s key phrase is “I BALANCE.” It’s keyword is “harmony.”

The glyph for Libra is the scales. The deeper meaning of that glyph is that they see and weigh both sides of any story. Being that it is an air sign, there is a certain amount of detachment that comes with the element of air. It can objectively get an answer, or a solution, to matters. The emotions are not necessarily a factor in their decision-making process.

Librans positive characteristics: cooperative, persuasive, companionable, peace-loving, refined, judicial, artistic, diplomatic, sociable and suave. What I notice about them, is that it is a reflective personality, that serves to mirror Beauty in Others. That’s where all these keywords come into affect. I like to say, “we all sit up a little straighter when Venus is in the house.” She adds charm and grace to all social situations.

If you witness some of the negative polarity in them, and we all have a negative polarity within (yin/yang), you might witness a Libran’s fickleness, or apathy, or that they are easily deterred and indecisive. They might want peace at any price.

The negative qualities are a mirror reflection too. It is why we instinctively show our best side when Libra people are in our orbit. We like to see pretty reflections. Venus’s glyph is that of a hand-held mirror.

The 7th house, which is Libra’s home, shows both business and marital partnerships, divorces, contracts, lawsuits, bargains, agreements, and any dealings with the public and the public’s response. It shows open enemies (as opposed to the hidden ones in the 12th house), as well as your cooperation, or lack thereof, with others.

Not all Libra sun people are married, but it is a strong indication that if your natal Sun is in Libra, you will find a mate and settle in. They like companionship in all they do.
