October – Libra

A Sun Sign signifies the state (position etc.) of the sun, planets and all other components of the solar system when a person is born. Hence, it has a deep rooted impact on the general nature of a person.

It is a deeply studied field which has been a center of curiosity for people from generations because the way it influences and dictates people characteristics is amazing. I beleive in them, and if you’re reading this… I’m sure you do too. Even if not, what harm can a little reading do… so go ahead… explore and perhaps you might find yourself again…..

All 12 sun-signs together represent the 4 basic elements of life – Earth, Fire, Water and Wind. So they form four groups of 3 sun signs each, representing a triangle of that particular element. The sun-signs at the ends of this triangle, are most compatible with each other.

General Description of Librans:

Libra is the seventh astrological sign in the Zodiac. In astrology, Libra is considered a “masculine”, positive (extrovert) sign. Libra is represented through a picture of scales, or a balance. This is the only sign of the zodiac to be represented by an inanimate object,all the others representing either humans or animals.

Many modern astrologers regard it as the most desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the zenith of the year, the high point of the seasons, when the harvest of all the hard work of the spring is reaped. Librans too are among the most civilized of the twelve zodiacal characters and are often good looking. They have elegance, charm and good taste, are naturally kind, very gentle, and lovers of beauty, harmony (both in music and social living) and the pleasures that these bring. Librans are sensitive to the needs of others. They are very social human beings. They have good perception and observation and their critical ability, with which they are able to view their own efforts as well as those of others, gives their work integrity.

Librans crave the exchange of ideas, conversation and chatter, and if all this takes place in a social situation, even better. The Scales will look at all sides of an issue, then make a careful and deliberate decision once they’re sure it’s the right one. The sense of justice and fair play attached to those born under this sign is remarkable. Librans enjoy the leader’s role and will work hard to be worthy of the privilege.

It should come as no surprise that the Scales like things to be in balance — the checkbook, their lives. Librans revel in beauty and harmony and are often striving for perfection. This quest can lead to bouts of indecision, for although Librans love to please, they hate to make the wrong choice!

Librans thoroughly appreciate money and what it can buy: the best that life has to offer. Fortunately, there is usually enough cash around to keep the Scales in the style to which they’ve become accustomed. It’s comfort and luxury which the Scales crave, and they also feel it’s their divine right!

Those born under this Sign are attractive and charismatic, and as a result, are accustomed to having things come to them rather easily. This could make for a poor work ethic, but then Librans would rather work at creating a beautiful world for those around them!

They may make you wait, but Libra is a great friend to have. Libra hates being alone, so expect your friend to be a bit demanding of your time and attention. They’ll make up for it, though. Libra will be able to talk their way into the swankiest restaurants and hottest clubs. If you ever need anything, they know exactly who to call, and the person on the other end will feel honored to help them out. Even if they do need to stand in front of their closet for hours, whatever they wear will be in perfect taste, and you can count on them to help you look just as chic.

Librans want to be liked, even loved, by those who cross their path, and it can be very hard to resist the Scales when they are at their most charming and magnetic selves. It’s not unusual for Librans to possess an easy grace and sense of style and move languidly throughout a room. Behind that pretty facade is a smart, often smoldering soul who knows how to get what they want, and would love nothing more than to do so fairly and justly.

The negative Libran character may show frivolity, flirtatiousness and shallowness. Librans can shock everyone around them with sudden storms of rage. Their love of pleasure may lead them into extravagance; Libran men can degenerate into reckless gamblers, and Libran women extravagant, jealous and careless about money sometimes squander their wealth and talents in their overenthusiasm for causes which they espouse. Both sexes can become great gossipers.

Librans can be surprisingly energetic, though it is true that they dislike coarse, dirty work. Although some are modestly content, others are extremely ambitious. In theory, Libras are peace-loving. In practice, they can quietly stir up all sorts of trouble with their ways. Because Libra enjoys balance in their lives, they seek the middle ground. In the process, they may end up trying to be everything to everyone. This is where their reputation for untruthfulness comes from.

In their personal relationships they show understanding of the other person’s point of view, trying to resolve any differences by compromise, and are often willing to allow claims against themselves to be settled to their own disadvantage rather than spoil a relationship.

Something more about Libra

The symbol associated with your sign is the scales of balance representing the balance that you continually seek in your self and your life. The scales were also adopted by our judicial system to symbolize a balance of fairness in the law which is emphasized by ‘blind justice’ holding them.

Libra is an air sign. Air is the fourth essential element for life. The other signs forming the triangle of this element are Aquarius and Gemini. So, according to the natal charts, Librans should be most compatible with Librans, Aquarians and Geminians.
