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 Career Profile
If it's the truth you seek, you'll want to work with a Libra. 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.
Librans crave the exchange of ideas, conversation and chatter, and if all this takes place in a social situation, even better. The schmoozer of the Zodiac has arrived! The Scales, of course, would prefer to be known as a networker, tasteful appellation that it is. Harmony is important to Librans, as these charmers enjoy beautiful surroundings which are pleasing to all; they also appreciate the concept of "go along to get along," important to peace and mutual understanding in business as well as life.
The mediator in Libra likes bringing people together, but the Scales also enjoy having a partner at their side. People all around are fun, but one true ally in the trenches is priceless. Librans are motivated to keep their partnership sailing smoothly, and it's also likely to be a pretty ride, since they enjoy being in a beautiful world. If there's one thing the Scales could use, it's a bit of grit when it comes time to making tough decisions. That swinging back and forth can't go on forever! When it comes to crisis management, however, the Scales can spring to amazing action, even if it's a place they'd rather not be.
The Libra office is likely to be beautiful, with fresh-cut flowers and a seating arrangement that places all guests on equal footing. Of all the Signs, Libras are likely the most interested in feng shui, and they'll move their furniture around until the placement feels just right. Heading for a meeting, the Scales will jump into their top-of-the-line Honda, gleaming like glass. If they're off to lunch, it's probably at some sleekly sophisticated cafe, carefully chosen with the client in mind.
Librans are well suited as diplomats, judges, public relations consultants, counselors, psychologists (no Freudian slips here!) and artists.
