THE SCALES Ruled by Venus Masculine, Positive, Cardinal Air Sign

If there is significant word that suits Libra, it is "harmony." Its ruler, Venus, emanates an appreciation for charm, grace, diplomacy and artistic matters. On the other hand, indecisiveness, dependency, fickleness, and apathy may be present. Many Librans have a charming appearance as well as a longing for fame and recognition. Sophisticated as you are, some will never abandon their basic principles merely to get support from others. You may have learned from experience that such manipulative behaviour can eventually lead to humiliation. If any indecision is present, it is generally because you easily see both sides of a situation.

Libra is an air sign and as such highlights your intellect. You constantly seek knowledge, new ideas, and mental stimulation. You have the gift of being able to analyse all the social happenings in your surroundings. You also have a strong interest in all aspects of psychology and relationships with the opposite sex. Thus, you find it easy to advise others and try to help them solve their personal problems. You often play the role of an intermediary or go-between. You seldom give vent to your anger because you want peace and love in your life. You can portray calm judgement, even when crossed. After longer periods of time, you can remember exactly who said what and why, and you may be prepared to use this knowledge against the people involved.

A close partnership is important to you and serves to help you actualise your goals of self-realisation and contentment. Somehow, though, you should be careful to keep your individuality even in such a relationship. You are strongly motivated by the needs of others, and so others rarely see you as selfish.

Libra is a cardinal sign and as such you are adventurous and live for today. However, since you don't enjoy isolation, you will generally seek the company and cooperation of others. You will have a lot of social connections and contact with the general public. Thus, you show a preference for employment in the judiciary, public relations, or in a career field that requires you to work closely with others. You might also be connected with the performing arts. Given your marked sense of justice, you expect your associates to work just as hard as you do yourself. The more experienced you become, the harder you tend to work.
