| Glyph description and meaning: The same as the ancient Egyptian symbol for the setting sun, the Libran glyph has its meaning in the realms of antiquity. In its more modern association, the glyph represents the scale which is the symbol for equilibrium. However, the symbology of this glyph goes back to the eons of time. It was considered to represent the crescent moon which was being connected or anchored by two equal lines representing the |

| ideal of emotion balanced by reason. The third line, which is the base of the glyph, symbolizes partnership. Ruling Planet: Venus is the ruling planet for those born under the sign of the Scales. She brings the gift of love and beauty in her guise as the Goddess of Love. Venus also sheds her influence in the realms of social pursuits, style, art and personal adornment of all kind. The negative emanations to beware from this Planet are its tendency to slide to self-indulgence and a too strong attachment to luxury and rich living. Placement and Symbology of placement in the Zodiac: Libra is the seventh sign of the Zodiac. As the seventh sign we begin the Second half of the Zodiac. As we move into the seventh sign we see it as the sign of partnerships and pairing, beginning the second half of the pairings in the wheel. Duality: Duality in Western Astrology is much like Yin/Yang energy in the Eastern Tradition. The idea of opposites came from the Pythagorean School of Ancient Greece. Librans with their forceful personalities and power with words is considered a masculine sign. Active and diplomatic Librans are normally very social and enjoy a wide circle of friends and associates. Polarity: This is the sign that is opposite the Zodiac Wheel from Aries. Librans are the ultimate symbol of partnership. Aries, though not in a negative way, is with the scales in balance, the sign of the self. (Remember, if we don’t know the self, how can we know others to be able to appropriately partner with them?) Cardinal/Mutable/Fixed: A Sign is either Cardinal, Mutable or Fixed. Librans are a Cardinal sign, meaning that being outgoing in social settings is a very comfortable situation for you. Very social by nature you have no trouble maneuvering from the campground to the opera! Dominant Keywords: I Balance. What else would you expect for a sign represented by a set of scales! Librans are excellent at perceiving qualities in others and pairing them for best result. This is especially true in the business venue. Most Likeable Trait: You are a charmer pure and simple. You put others at ease quickly with your warm smile and always knowing exactly what to say. You are one that friends can rely on when they really need help. Lucky Day: Friday! TGIF rings more true for you than it does for most other folks. The best day for you to make new pairings, start new endeavors, or meet new people, you have plenty of opportunity to shine on your lucky day! Danger: Beware self-indulgence beyond normal boundaries. Are you sharing as much as you should? Are you giving of yourself to others to keep your personal compass in balance? Make sure to check your actions for appropriate balance when dealing with those closest to you. Cities and Countries: The following cities and countries are associated with the sign of the Scales. Librans would appreciate the art in cities such as Vienna and Copenhagen, the stately antebellum homes of Charleston would be a great bed and breakfast getaway weekend. Lisbon with its wealth of intellectual information in its museums and libraries would also be a great destination. If you just want to take a whirlwind tour, the Libran is outgoing and normally stout enough to travel to the exotic destinations such as Burma, Tibet, and China; along with Argentina and Japan. Element: Libra is an Air sign. You can’t help but be a natural talker and a bit of a charmer. It’s in the stars for you to be so. You may not appreciate center stage, but you sure aren’t shy about having your say. No shrinking violet you can talk to just about anyone having a natural style that always carries you through with grace and panache. Metal: Copper is the metal aligned with Librans. When making copper if the blend isn’t correct you don’t achieve the proper look. This is another allusion to the balance so important to the root of the Libran personality. |

Magical Birthstone Stone: Opal. It’s not coincidence that a stone that glows with its own inner fire is associated with Libra. Believed to impart clarity of mind and thought to its wearer, the opal is a stone of ancient power. It is further believed to bring the blessings of financial well being and the wearer of an opal will be able to make appropriate choices without the burdens of greed or jealousy. |

Stones of Power: Besides the Opal, Librans would do well to work with blue lace agate, tourmaline and kunzite. If you are feeling unbalanced, wearing a bracelet with one of your stones on one arm or another may help you regain equilibrium. Special Color: For Libra, only the colors of true refinement, romance and harmony will do. If you are going to buy your Libra friend a special gift – a silk scarf or tie in refined tones of either blue or lavender is just the thing! Flowers: Delicately stemmed cosmos, large showy hydrangeas, and one of the most adaptable flowers, the rose, are aligned with the sign of Libra. Trees: Librans are aligned with the cypress, almond and ash trees. Animals: Animals associated with the sign of the scales and balance are snakes and lizards. Don’t reject the association so quickly. It is only our modern western society that has vilified these creatures. If you are a Libran you can learn much by studying these unique and special members of the animal kingdom. Myths and Legends: From the fairy tale of Cinderella through the ages to the myths of Venus and Hera; Libra is associated with several stories, fables or goddesses. Famous People: Originality while appearing to conform is one of the trademarks of the Libran personality. Here are a few examples… |
