Libra

September 23 - October 22
Libra is the seventh Sign of the Zodiac, and it is at this point in the Zodiac that we start to see a shift. While the first six Signs of the Zodiac focus on the individual, the last six focus on the individual's contact with others and with the world. Librans are first and foremost focused on others and how they relate to them. We can call this the Sign of partnership with a capital 'P' because these folks do not want to be alone! For a Libran, everything is better if it's done as a pair. Librans are good when paired up, too, since they epitomize balance, harmony and a sense of fair play. While they are true team players at work, their favorite partnership is at home: marriage. Librans feel most complete when they are coupled up with their lover, forever.
It's the Scales which symbolize Libra, and just like that balancing mechanism wants to stay even, Librans want to be on an even keel. Think of the Scales of Justice and how they work at striking the right balance. Likewise, Librans are objective, just and want to do what's best for everyone. It's possible, though, that this penchant for fairness is for a different reason: Librans abhor conflict. The Scales study every possible angle in the hopes of achieving peace and harmony, so much so that others may see them as fickle and indecisive. If that's what it takes to avoid a confrontation, that's fine with the Scales. The Libra-born are keen strategists, organizing groups with poise and getting the job done (in keeping with the Cardinal Quality assigned to this Sign). Further, you can expect the Scales to be companionable, sociable folks.
Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus was a smooth seductress who was at her best amid pleasurable excess. Well, Librans are certainly carrying the torch for her today. The Scales are cultured, refined and love beautiful things. Most of all, they love beautiful people, which is why Librans do so well at cocktail parties or at the theater, opera or ballet. Those born under this Sign always have the right thing to say and know how to make others feel comfortable. Suave? You bet. Librans are so adept at charming conversation that they need to be mindful of overstepping their boundaries and appearing vain or gossipy (the Scales do love intrigue). When these folks are on their game, however, they are a pleasure to be with. Librans are artistic, stylish and enjoy creating a beautiful world. The converse of this is that bored Librans can become apathetic and lazy -- but they'll smile anyway.
The Element associated with Libra is Air, and that means reaching higher, specifically to the higher mind. Librans like to put their mind to good use, and enjoy communicating their thoughts to others. They like to use their smarts (and talk) to get to know others better -- yes, knowledge about people is where it's at for Librans. You can expect the Scales to make a fair argument, too, since they live by the principles of diplomacy and compromise. When this approach doesn't work, however, Librans are not above using their persuasive charms to get their way. Manipulative? Nah, Librans really are too nice for that. Plus, any end-runs that these folks use are usually to build themselves up, since the Scales can be easily deterred. Librans are polite and don't like to fight, far preferring to talk things through. Remember, these folks know how to communicate (they're Air) so they're bound to make their point. Librans don't get in a huff when faced with an opposing viewpoint. Rather, they take a deep breath and consider all the options in the spirit of cooperation.

Through the centuries human beings have delved into different areas and gathered knowledge. During this quest, future has also played its part and mortals have sought to know what lies ahead in life. The wise and the optimist have realized that every moment of life brings another chance while the ignorant and pessimist continues to fight life and its course reaching, again and again, the realm of stagnation and misery. However life and the ways of this creation called ‘world’ has its own harmonic pulse which reaches the mortals and helps them to achieve harmony in their lives.
The steadfast belief in this concept that help is always at hand and available makes life easier. Among the ancients there were great seers who had the vision to formulate the science of astrology- a science based on astronomy which is purely a mathematical science. However the core of the mathematical findings display our past present and future through intricate analysis of signs symbols and the basic elements – fire, earth, air and water.
Each life that we live, bring to us a horizon where each of us etches new destinations as per our own desires and requirements and destiny. Time is the greatest teacher that bestows wisdom through the experiences of life. In order that we make the best of all the positive indications that life can provide for us, there is always the danger of over- assessing or under evaluation of our abilities. In this context we can always use the tool of astrology - as it is most important to understand our inclinations and basic nature.
For the seventh sign of the zodiac, Libra, it is beneficial to understand that the most important factor is balance. This power of harmonizing ability is a very essential and important aspect of the planet Venus that governs Libra. This is the core essence of human society and makes man the most advanced living being of all living beings. Humans dream and there is a dream for justice as well. Key words in the life of a Libra are very often beauty and harmony. The wisdom of Venus also bestows innocence. The innocence when harmoniously matured brings a balance and there is law and order with maturity. Libra is often hesitant as there is an element of judgment involved for all decisions. The greatest blessing that a Libra enjoy is the inherent desire to create a balance in life. You are caring and understanding and do not appreciate those who are inconsiderate. The Libra person wants fame and recognition and seeks an audience for his or her ideas. Librans are usually attractive and have a charisma that may become sexual. On the negative side, a Libra can become emotionally unstable and get lost in indecision as well. A Libra type likes justice and balance, particularly in the realms of ideas. The key to the growth potential is to establish a practical ground to the idealistic mind.
This year will be a time when you will want to bring your status in the centre stage in the drama of life. While this will make you materialistic and give you a keen head for money, you will also focus on your hopes and dreams very actively during the second half of the year. There is a great possibility of new home, a home away from home land a new job and/or more inflow of cash. This may mean that stability in life will take some time and you will perhaps get to enjoy it in the last couple of months. You will bring focus and persistence to your ambitions and give a shape to your dream. In doing this you will feel very optimistic and clear-headed. Your motivation will be high and if you are waiting for something, there is an indication that you may receive some good news. This is most favorable during the first ten months of the year. Health should be carefully monitored and there must be effort to pack in physical activities that will keep your body fit. Weight, stress and over work are areas that you must have control on. A situation where your intervention is required must not be neglected or ignored. Opportunities to elevate your status in life will be in plenty during the second half of the year. You may get easily attracted to opposite members but do keep in mind that in the first half this may lead to a fruitful alliance but in the second half the nature of the relationship may prove to be casual. Business persons will enjoy good earnings but there has to be caution in regard to ‘ quick money’. Dubious personalities should be kept at bay.
