They come up in life in their native place itself.

The sign of Libra is represented by the scales and Librans tend to weigh things up carefully before making any decisions. Balancing scales can be difficult task, and keeping them balanced requires a different effort.

Whereas Geminis cannot decide between two alternatives because they want both of them, Librans take time to make decisions because they are more aware of the consequences of actions. Librans also like to please those around them and include the needs of others in their decision-making. This can make deciding a difficult and drawn-out process for Librans, but, when they do decide, they are usually sure of themselves, having weighed up the consequences carefully.

New ideas, conversations and perspectives appeal to Librans because, as an air sign, they usually have active minds. The sign of Libra is also a cardinal sign, meaning that these people are ambitious and eager to start new things.

Librans often possess a strongly developed sense of fairness and will vigorously defend the rights of others, sometimes before defending their own rights. Librans are usually diplomatic, tactful and aware of the needs and feelings of others. Being naturally cooperative and sociable, Librans enjoy group participation and often work at securing group consensus and harmony. Essentially idealistic and helpful, Librans excel where negotiation is required and they work hard for the benefit of a group rather than for personal gain.

These people are typically generous, especially in giving up their own time to help others or in sharing whatever resources they have, even if they are in short supply.

Keenly sensitive to balance in their environment, Librans need pleasant and harmonious surroundings to feel a sense of inner harmony. When their surroundings are disharmonious, Librans are often unable to function well or maintain an inner sense of balance.

Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, Librans prefer the company of others to being alone. In some cases they will go to great lengths to ensure that they are not alone, even when it means being in company that does not suit them. They can display a tendency to want peace at any price and will compromise themselves for the sake of outward harmony. This can lead to inward disharmony and to stress and health imbalances.

Librans are subtle organisers and can have others around them hard at work on a project without the workers realising that they are fulfilling the Libran’s plans. Being tactful and diplomatic, Librans are able to motivate others and oversee a project without treading on the toes of those involved.

Librans are able to present criticism in a way that is palatable to almost anyone. They are suited to careers where handling delicate matters or difficult people is part of the job, such as telemarketing, the law or any job, which involves mediating between two parties.

Librans are also attracted to working in art or craft galleries, as their Venusian rulership suits them to working with anything that is aesthetically pleasing. The hospitality industry appeals to Librans because they thrive on social contact.

Relationships :

Relationships are never far from the minds of most Librans, and they seem happiest when in the company of their partners. These people tend to think in terms of ‘we’ rather than ‘I’ and will often go to great lengths to ensure that they are not alone.

Their need for company can sometimes prevent Librans from leaving a destructive relationship and their need for peace at any price can allow a partner to take advantage of them. They need to guard against co-dependence in a relationship as this stifles their growth and keeps the Libran scales out of balance. Generally, Librans are happy when those close to them are content, and to this end they will make great sacrifices.

When Librans are in a happy relationship, all is right with the world as far as they are concerned. They can live without many of life’s basics if they have love.

Health :

The primary area for concern with Librans is the kidneys. With Venus ruling Libra there is tendency to prefer sweet foods, which can increase the stress placed upon the pancreas as it tries to re-balance the blood sugar levels. When stressed, Librans can experience hormone imbalances.

Generally Librans enjoy good health and this contributes to their optimistic outlook on life. However, if they overindulge in food and drink, they are prone to skin problems such as acne and blotchy skin.

When negative, Librans can reach for food as a substitute for love, putting sweetness into their mouths instead of their hearts. Prolonged habits of this sort can lead to obesity.
