The Scales (September 23 - October 22)
Librans seem to come in three distinct types: those who are decisive, those who
aren't, and those who seek harmony for its own sake. The typical Libra seeks to
meditate and balance, to act democratically and fairly.

They love beauty in all of its guises .. art, literature, classical music, opera,
mathematics, and the human body. They usually are team players who enjoy
debate but not argument. They are excellent strategists and masters at the
power of suggestion.

Even though Librans are courteous, amiable people, never presume they are
pushovers. They use diplomacy and intelligence to get what they want. They are
natural romantics and flourish in enduring partnerships. They are fair minded
people, but avoid anything that is grim, crude, vulgar, and garish. Adversely
afflicted, they have trouble making decisions and may lose themselves in sensual
pleasures. In highly evolved Librans, the human mind is perfect in its
balance and discretion.

As a Venus ruled sign, these people are usually physically distinctive in some way ..
compassionate eyes, or well formed bodies. They tend to be slender, very attractive
and seem to know instinctively how to bring out the best in their companions. Since
Libra rules the lower back and diaphragm, unvented emotions manifest first in
those areas of the body. Libras benefit from physical exercise, particularly anything
that strengthens the back and maintains general flexibility.
