Libra

The Sun in Libra

The Sun is the lasting self, what you are slowly becoming. What Alan Leo wrote of it:

The balance. A keen sense of justice, harmony and fairness, joined to intuition, kindness and an eye for art. You see both sides of a question and look for the point where they meet.

The colours of this sign: grace, fairness and a longing for harmony.

The cardinal mode leads: you are made to start things, to open new seasons.

The dates are approximate: the Sun enters each sign at a slightly different hour every year, so people born on the first or last day should check their chart.

In love

In love, Libra lives for partnership: romance, beauty, fairness and harmony; it fears conflict and loneliness.

At work

At work, Libra excels in diplomacy, law, design, art and any role that requires balance and taste.

Counsel

Decide, even at the risk of displeasing someone.

The Moon in Libra

The Moon is the inner child: moods, habits and what you need to feel at home.

Affectionate, kind and good-natured, you make friends easily and love art, music and company. Much of your life comes through other people, often one person in particular: you do best in partnership, in work and in love alike.

The Ascendant in Libra

The Ascendant, the sign rising in the east at your birth, is the door through which you meet the world.

Courteous, affable, kind and affectionate, artistic and refined, with keen observation. Feeling and intuition guide you more than reason, and much of your life is shaped by other people. Leo's caution is a tendency to lean on others and let life run in a groove.

The planets in Libra

Mercury · You think in pairs and weigh every side. Your words are graceful and diplomatic; you seek the fair answer, sometimes so long that the moment to decide passes.

Venus · Venus is at home here: you love harmony, beauty and partnership. You are gracious and romantic, and you bloom in a balanced, elegant relationship.

Mars · You act through others and for fairness. Your drive is diplomatic, sometimes hesitant; you fight best for justice and for the people you love.

Jupiter · Your luck comes through partners and fairness. You grow in relationship, through marriage, alliances and the art of finding balance.

Saturn · Saturn is exalted here: your lesson is justice and commitment. Relationships are your school, and you become a fair, reliable partner.
