Libra   September 22 to October 21

A cardinal air sign of positive polarity ruled by Venus. Key Phrase 'I Balance'

Libra is represented by the scales. The Libra Sun does not like to do much on its' own. Libras have a special need for companionship. The law of gravity states it takes two to ride the teeter-totter. Although they seek the co-operation of others, the Libra Sun will maintain their individuality, within the framework of their relationships. They demand that their partners work as hard as they do. The sun here seeks knowledge, new ideas and mental stimulation. The desire for harmonious relationships often puts them in the role of peacemaker. Libras have a strong sense of justice and fair play. Librans are especially adept at analyzing what is occurring in society around them and rarely take sides in a dispute, they would rather sit on the fence, and wait until the air clears. Ruled by peaceful Venus, they rarely express anger, but when they do... it is like a tornado has gone through the area... they leave nothing unsaid. They will tell you exactly what you said forty years ago and how you said it.

Keeping the peace in your corner of the world will become very complicated.

Neptune in the sign of Aquarius is trine your Libra Sun. Neptune is rarely found without his rose coloured glasses on. Neptune is idealistic about everything. Neptune is about faith and your inner strength and what you believe in. Aquarius is about fighting for what you believe in - standing up and being counted. It is about sharing your ideas. Quite a combination! Not a problem for a Libra though. The ability to balance is your forte. Aquarius instinctively comprehends and Libra instinctively knows how to combine the energies to get a level playing field.
