Libra the Scales
September 24th to October 23rd
Libra is a cardinal sign. Cardinal signs are active, self-motivated, usually ambitious, they like to generate momentum in any group of people in which they find themselves. Libra as an airy and communicative sign desires to inspire social interaction among various individuals,joining them together according to its special purpose.
How to recognize Libra
Librans hate to be rude, yet they’ll straighten the crooked picture on your wall and snap off your blaring TV set. Librans love people, but they hate large crowds. Like gentle doves of peace, they go around mediating and patching up quarrels between others; still they enjoy a good argument themselves. They’re good natured and pleasant, but they can also be sulky, and they balk at taking orders. Librans are extremely intelligent. At the same time, they’re incredible naïve and gullible. They’ll talk your ear off, yet they’re wonderfully good listeners.
Librans are restless people. But they seldom rush or hurry. Are you completely confused? You’re not alone. There’s a frustrating inconsistency to this Sun sign that puzzles the Librans themselves as much as it does others.
Never again will you have a mental picture of a Libran as a calm, perfectly balanced, sweet, gracious and charming individual. You’ll have a mental picture of a person who has that kind of disposition half the time. The other half of the time, Libra can be annoying, quarrelsome, stubborn, restless, depressed and confused. Libra is first up, then down. He swings one way, then another. Suddenly, like the scales – perfect balance! It’s heavenly. But there is always that period of weighing and dipping before the moment of heavenly balance is achieved.
The women are almost invariably pretty, and the men are usually handsome. Still,not all of the beautiful people in the world are Librans. You’ll never meet a Libran who doesn’t have a smile like a soft, white cloud.
They seek harmony. Yet, lots of Librans indulge in excessive eating, drinking or love-making, completely upsetting the cookie cart, not to mention throwing harmony out of kilter.
The Sun sign itself is known as Lazy Libra, and that’s another inconsistency. For days, weeks or months on end, Librans can be too busy to play. Although Libra is not a dual sign, most of their friends think they know two different people.
Librans know instinctively that to restore harmony to the body, they must alternate their active spells with complete rest. However, harmony of the mind and emotions isn’t always as instinctive with them. They can weep with overflowing sentiment, turn sharply sarcastic, then be as bright and cheerful as the first robin in spring.
The biggest threat to their health is over indulgence of some kind. Eating sweets can bring on obesity, stomach disorders and mottled skin. Excessive use of alcohol can cause severe kidney and bladder disturbances, which in turn result in violent headaches of migraine intensity. Giving in to depression can cause itchy sensations in the skin and even boils. Ulcers beset many a Libran, not from worry as much as from abuse of the digestive system and the topsy-turvy emotional make up.
Librans are healthier than most people, unless they push themselves too hard, and forget to take those necessary rest periods. The effect of peace and harmony on Venus health is miraculous. When they’re ill, they need enormous amounts of prolonged rest, with no discordant emotional situations to plague them, pleasant books, soft music and soothing words. Such an atmosphere rarely fails to put the typical Libran back on his feet quickly.
The Libra character is made up of just about equal parts of kindness, gentleness, fairness, plain cussed argumentativeness, stubborn refusal to capitulate, philosophical logic and indecision. He doesn’t really care which side he takes in a good argument, as long as it’s the other side. Sometimes, if he gets bored, she can switch sides in the middle. Tell him you like a movie and he’ll tell you what’s wrong with it. Criticized it and he’ll praise it. Rave about I new book and she’ll list its shortcomings. What she seeks is the real truth, the exact balance that gives the correct answer, after weighing all possibilities.
It’s an admirable trait, of course, but all that weighing can drive a positive person simply wild. It can drive the Libran himself into a state of constant indecision.
His ability to see all sides, to smooth nerves and calm angry tempers can make him the finest kind of mediator, bringing people who hate and mistrust each other together, and getting them to work in harmonious cooperation.
Nothing is more painful to watch than a doubtful Libran trying to make up his mind why, wherefore, and whether to. He doesn’t like to be hurried or pushed while he’s deciding either. Flighty, rash, impulsive people who don’t stop to consider the consequences give them the jitters.
They’re normally scrupulously honest in business deals, and there’s very little carelessness about them. Libra would rather take his time and get it right than make a false start and have to repeat the process. Most Librans have a fantastic ability to concentrate and to ponder deep subjects.
They love the harmony of sounds, color, poetry and the proper use of words, both written and spoken. Rarely do they escape the influence of the arts. A Libran is a gentle, tender lover of all that’s good and clean and lovely underneath whatever image he may project when that fairy godmother raps one side of her scales.
To truly understand Libra, you must understand the riddle of the scales; one side heaped high with October’s vivid, golden leaves, suggesting brisk, autumn weather – the other side holding sky blue bunches of shy violets, drenched in the fresh scent of April rain.
Pisces
The Libra Man
You’ll get plenty of free advice from this man. He’ll have the perfect solution to all youir problems and an answer for every question you ask.
Once you’re caught and enmeshed in the Libran charm, it won’t be easy to break away. If you try to run, he’ll persuade you to stay with such logical, intelligent arguments you couldn’t hope to stop them unless you graduated from Harvard Law School.
There will be times when those Libra scales dip back and forth with crazy contradiction. You’ll have to shout at him, push him into the lake, or stand on your head to get his attention and force him to make a move.
Making up his mind is a chore no less strenuous to the average Libran male than taming a wild buffalo, and once he’s made it up, he’s made a mistake.
The word love and the word Libra are practically synonymous. Libra invented romance, and refined it to an art with even more finesse than Leo, Scorpio and Taurus, which is saying a lot. The delicate strategies of Cupid are inbred Libran talents. He’ll use every trick with casual ease and seldom fail to get the girl. However, once he gets her, he isn’t always sure what to do with her.
Since the art of love-making comes so easily – and shockingly early – to the Libra male, and since he almost always wears the crown of success on his romantic excursions into love’s jungle, he gets tangled up with a lot of clinging vines. Libra hates to hurt anyone’s feelings, though he remains blissfully unaware of the damage done when he’s in an argumentative mood. He hates to say no, and seldom realizes that postponement is unkind than an outright break on an affair which has no chance of happiness. Being unfair is, to him, a crime roughly on a level with murder. The reluctance to be cruel can push him into a mistaken proposal of marriage, predestined for the divorce courts – or else his endless procrastination can cause him to miss the love of his life.
The tendency toward fickleness in Libra men can’t be denied. The natural Libra impulse is to size up every third or fourth woman that may come across, and weigh her possibilities of being the true soul mate.
Always remember that the Libran argues with only an abstract curiosity. He appears to be a prober, but he’s not. Nor is he as nosy and gossipy as he seems to be. It’s like braking the seal of the confessional to pry a secret given in confidence from the typical Libran.
Just because he’s an expert lover technically doesn’t make him the soul of empathy is relation to your moods. He has enough trouble coping with his own.
Libran has a rather lavish hand with cash. He believes in spending it on objects or activities that bring beauty or happiness. All Librans have an instinctive distaste for physical contact with masses of humanity. Crowds of strangers affect his inner equilibrium.
A Libra man can suddenly leave you alone in a crowded theater with no explanation. He doesn’t hate you. He was just overcome with claustrophobia, a typical Libran affliction.
The fastest road to the disinterest that leads to divorce is a disorderly home. Keep the radio and TV sets toned down, and don’t let the odor of cooking penetrate his sensitive nostrils.
The Libra male hates confusion, and he really needs harmony to remain stable. His home must be a beautiful, quiet oasis from the jangling discord of the outside world, or those scales may remain permanently out of balance. Since he seldom probes motives, you’ll have to be smart enough to guess why he’s never home or why he sleeps all the time when he is.
Libran fathers will exercise discipline with quiet authority, and they’ll try to give a logical reason for punishment, which will seldom be administered in anger. Like you, the children will melt under his charm, and like you, they’ll also chafe under his constant debating and challenging.
If you’re in love with a Libra man, and you’re sure it’s meant to be, go right ahead and propose whatever it is you want to propose, up to and including marriage. He’ll be relieved that you took the initiative. But watch out for the perverse steak which causes him to let you decide, and then when it doesn’t work out, cheerfully point out that “You made the decision. I didn’t.”
The Libra Woman
You can find a trace of the opposite sex in the most virile, rugged Libran male, and Venus plays the same trick on the female scale balancer.
Her mental processes operate with male logic and they can match yours in any discussion you care to start.
Most Libra women will air their clever wits any time a subject appears with the slightest possibility of debate. She’ll convince you with pure clear logic. You won’t lose much except your pride, and you’ll hardly miss that, under the spell of that gentle Libran smile. She’s usually right, because her final decisions are as carefully considered as those of the Supreme Court. She makes a great political worker, once she’s make up her mind which side and which candidate is right.
Aside from the typical Libra penchant for weighing everything twice to make sure she didn’t miss a point, whe can be quite a lot of woman for a man who’s interested in romance or companionship or both. Her tendency to argue is really based on a sincere desire to reach an impartial decision.
The Libran female is nothing if not fair, and committed to balanced judgment all around. You may get a little bored with her digressions on mundane subjects, but you’ll sincerely appreciate her efforts at fairness, and her ability to judge correctly by weighing all sides, when it comes to something that really matters.
Most Venus girls work both before and after marriage. They seek cash for the lovely things it can buy. She loves beautiful clothes, expensive perfumes, classical music and – did somebody say she was masculine? Mostly, Libran women need plentiful sums of money to remove them from the squalor and ugliness of discordant surroundings, which can actually make them emotionally and physically ill.
She hates to play solitaire. Partnerships, in both business and romance, constitute her deepest need. She doesn’t like to work alone, and she’s literally incapable of living alone. Libra women who visit astrologers have only two questions they really care about. “When will I meet someone I really love?” or When will I find someone to go into business with me?” Her nature is built for teamwork. She’ll want to participate in as many of your interests and activities as possible. She’s willing to entertain in her husband’s behalf, and she’s female enough to follow his lead when he wants to change his career, move to another city, or cultivate new friends.
The average Libra female is highly intellectual and has amazing powers of analysis, which can be a real help in solving your business problems.
Two Librans wed to each other invariably become cooing lovebirds or snarling adversaries.
She likes to talk. But she’ll also make a flattering listener, when you have a need for a good audience. This woman is both tough and soft at the same time, and it’s not every female who can manage that delicate balancing act.
The children will be loved and tenderly cared for by a Libra mother, but in all honesty, the will come in a poor second to you. They’re junior partners, but you are the president of the company, and she’ll never forget that basic fact. One reason she wanted to become a mother in the first place was so she could give you more happiness that way. She’ll never permit them to disrespect their father.
It’s true that she may nibble on sweets too often and get fat. She may linger too long at the dance or over the wine bottle. There may be times when she’s a little bossy, and other moments when she talks your ear off. But these things will only occur when her emotional scales are temporarily off balance. If one side is a little low, add some affection and it will rise. If the other side drops from the weight of too much sadness, lighten it with understanding and her beautiful harmony will return.
