Libra
Parts of Body: Kidneys and Lumbar Region
Your Character:
Balance and harmony—those words are descriptive of your sign. This does not mean at all that your life is all harmony and balance. Rather, your thrust is toward the goal of peace and love. In seeking this goal, you often bend backward to avoid conflict. When you do this you seem to invite difficulty. Others are too willing to step in and give you a little push—over backward, all the way on your back.
You are often accused of procrastinating. In actuality, you are waiting—for the right time and place. Those who appreciate you are fascinated by your sense of beauty and balance, your ability to see two sides of a question.
Libra signifies cooperation, marriage, partnership, public relations, and it represents a sense of equilibrium. It means that you try to balance good and evil, harshness and beauty; your tastes are delicate and anything coarse repels you. This applies to all areas: love, sex, finance. You would rather hurt yourself than deliberately cause injury to another.
One would think, with your wonderful intentions, that everyone would be “on your side.” But that is not the way of the world. You are, it is true, adored by many. But many others find that you are not their cup of tea. All right, you might be saying, that applies to many persons. But, in your case, it is of special significance.
Your planetary significator, Venus, is a symbol of luxury and love, fulfillment and frustration, beauty and the beast. This is a way, Libra, of stating that your life tends to run in cycles: high and low, good and otherwise, happy and sad, prosperous and wanting. The scales of Libra tip back and forth and the maintaining of balance is of the utmost importance, no matter how the scales sway.
Your cycle changes, almost without notice—that is, without advance notice. Libra is the Seventh House and this means that there is nothing halfway about you, despite your desire to be balanced, to stand in the middle. But, listen: you view the world and the world sees you. Both you and the world can be in love. However, as in the case of lovers, there are “quarrels.” You appear to be on a precipice—the height that can be dizzying or gratifying. Unless there is a kind of inner balance, you fall—to the delight of some, to the sorrow of others.
Your emotional mechanism is delicate and it is no easy task to put the finger of analysis on you. You see, you move, swing and sway, like a scale; you’re capable of moing to and fro with the gentlest breeze. Let’s put it this way: you are easy to love, which also means you are easy to dislike. You are a captivating individual who craves balance and justice, but who could become involved in something less than beautiful.
Your almost subconscious, innate goal is toward culture. You are humanist. That being so, you are also very human and subject to human frailties. You can be soft, giving, but also can build resentment and lash out at those who love you the most. You can do things to hurt yourself. You are desirable and sensitive. You can hurt and be hurt. What I’m attempting to establish is that you are vulnerable. You are difficult to pin down but you are a natural mediator. You are most skilled in solving the problems of others than in aiding yourself.
