September 23rd – October 23rd
Element: Air; Energy type: Initiatory; Astrological ruler: Venus
Nature: Sociable, diplomatic, partnership-minded, charming. Librans are air signs and so despite (and perhaps because of) their tendency to avoid confrontation, they usually detach themselves from any turbulent emotions they may be feeling, preferring to ‘shoo’ troubles away and gloss over them.
Downside: Procrastinates, prevaricates, can’t make decisions, sees both sides of everything, tries to please everyone and ends up pleasing no-one by doing nothing.
Values: Harmony, peace and calm, fairness, co-operation.

Style: Librans enjoy classical proportions, symmetry and good form. They enjoy grace and beauty expressed through elegant furniture, accessories and soft pastel colours. Airy Librans are ruled by Venus and can be closet romantics with secret poetry books, romantic novels and Julio Iglesias albums hidden around the house. Curves, drapes and curlicues abound. Dress style too combines classic elegance with a love of beautiful fabric, texture and accessories.
Occupations: Libra is a champion of professions such as the Law, which ideally delivers justice and fairness. Mediation, politics, the arts, education and event organisation all give scope for Libra to create harmony amongst the people. Many Librans find themselves heading up families and are brilliant and subtle mediator and diplomats, making sure that everyone gets something they want.
Partners: Libra is ruled by Venus and so naturally attracts the sparring Martian energy
of Aries and Scorpio. The non-confrontational approach of Libra is challenged by Aries’ self-assertion and dynamism or the focused emotional intensity of Scorpio. Either way, Libra learns through these signs that the emotional life may be messy but it’s also a part of being human and so must be valued equally with rationale and intellect.
