Venus as the goddess of beauty, love and justice
rules Libra, and while the Sun is in this sign, we marvel at the colors
and bountiful harvest that the earth has produced. Libra people are artistic
by nature, and they can develop their talents in at least two ways. If
they don't become involved in the creative arts, they might develop the
"art" of negotiation instead. The Libran's compulsion to take
in the big picture and evaluate every side of an issue makes this sign
extremely social - if a bit indecisive. They feel that by choosing one
alternative, they'll miss out on another.
Libra people always want to
have someone around them, too. If they have an idea or they make something,
they want to share their excitement with another person - right away!
Of course, it would be nice if this impulsive side of Libra would impel
them to make their decisions a little faster. But the fact that they take
their time shows us that it can be a good thing to stop and look at all
our alternatives before we make big commitments. To see how much influence
Libra really has in your life, order a LifeQuest

| Libra is an AIR sign |
| Air people take ideas and expand upon them, spreading
them out as far as they can in all directions. Air people also link things
together, and that's why they're such great networkers. They talk a lot,
and thrive on debate--- but we shouldn't take their tendency to argue as
a personal affront - they just want to find out what we're thinking! |

|
| Libra people are CARDINAL |
| They're full of creative ideas. Count on them to
roll up their sleeves and dig in while everyone else is still standing around
wringing their hands. What they need to develop is the staying power it
takes to finish the things they start. |
|
| Zodiac Presence |
The
Scales of justice represent Libra. Their ability to thoroughly weigh the
pros and cons of situations makes Libra people great negotiators and arbitrators.
They take time to make decisions, but once they do, they follow up on them
right away. |
|
| Graphic Symbol |
The
glyph for Libra resembles the scales, but it also shows us that Libra is
the point in the zodiac where the Sun sets on the horizon. It's time to
begin turning toward the darkness of winter, where our energy reserves can
be built back up again. |
|
| Colors |
Librans
favor pinks and soft reds, the colors of love and passion. These more delicate
hues are Libra's way of expressing their intense appreciation of beauty,
and also demonstrate that there is not always an obvious and absolute, either/or
distinction to be made. It's interesting to note that some Libra people
favor green, red's opposite. |
|
| Gem |
The
crystalline gem known as beryl is the best stone for Libra. It comes in various colors and is available in both pale pink and pale green. This gives
Libra more than one to choose from - don't be surprised if they like to
change them around from one day to another, just to suit their moods! |
|
| Fragrances |
| Bayberry and ginseng...fresh and invigorating! |
|
| Body Correspondence |
| The kidneys and the lower back. We have two kidneys,
and they function to keep our bodies in balance. And, our kidneys act as
a filter, much in the way that Libra people survey all that there is to
see before sorting out the most beautiful things to point out to us. To
make Librans feel a little better, encourage them to stretch their lower
back - and tell them how good they look! |
|
| Number |
The
number Two also signifies cooperation and the ability to channel energy
so that it can be refined and passed on to others. |
|
| Tarot Image |

balanced, able to hold the middle ground between two extremes. She is blindfolded
to make her more objective and she is capable of discovering the truth through
careful deliberation. |

| How to Present the Gift: |
|
If you're not particularly good at wrapping, call in the professionals. Libra is very attuned to how pretty a package is, and it won't be easy for them to conceal their disappointment if it appears that you haven't gone through very much trouble to make yours aesthetically pleasing. Give them one of those custom-wrapped, color-coordinated packages.

| Libra is the glamorous romantic. Libra loves pampering, romantic or artistic gestures, and anything that will soothe their highly sensitive natures. Thoughtfulness and sentiment are big winners, as is anything that is presented with an artistic flourish.
Cool Stuff From Our Partners:
The Libra appreciates anything that helps them to enhance their own appearance, such as a
Lighted Magnifying Mirror.
Libra is impressed by anything that helps them look better than they already do. They also adore being pampered and taken care of by the people who mean the most to them. If you want to soothe Libra, give them a beautiful belt that will "make" a suit or an outfit, or buy them a device like a pillow or massager that helps to alleviate back pain. (These sensitive and socially conscious people hold their tension and insecurity in their backs. )
