More Astrology Traits and Personality of Libra

Harmony and Co-operation: 

The Sun in Libra at the time of birth indicates that the deep behavioural patterns that characterise the life expression are shared activities aimed at seeking harmony and co-operation in relationships with others. The Libran’s life is coloured by an urge to bring harmony and balance not only into their own personal one-to-one dealings but into their immediate surroundings. As well, more than any other Sun sign, the essence of Libra is discovering one’s self in connection with another.

A Need for Relating: 

Libra is one of the more social of the signs, and hence the field of sharing with others is uppermost. It is as though they only feel complete if another is in their life, whether in marriage, business or otherwise. This of course is a common human trait, but expressed more strongly in the Libran nature than in other signs. They find it hard to imagine life in a vacuum. Primarily their relationships are formed to satisfy a need to exchange on an intellectual level. Shared conversation, ideas and concepts give them greater self-understanding and fulfilment.

Peace Loving and Refined:

 Venus ruled Librans have a well-developed innate sense of what is aesthetically beautiful, attractive and in good taste. They seek grace and refinement in their life, whilst the crude, more harsh side of people and situations repels them. Running right through their life is a strong idealistic outlook which makes it difficult for them to directly face situations that are strife-ridden and call for confrontation. 

Unbiased and Non-Judgemental: 

Librans have the ability to be fair and reasonable in judgement and hence make good arbitrators. However, their talent for seeing all sides of the case can render them torn between deciding which way to move. Whilst young the more peace-loving side of their sign may show through. This does not necessarily remain so, as many Librans learn with maturity to pit themselves against another and be highly competitive in their own way. Their life lesson is probably to learn to be more self-assertive.

LIBRA - 2018

LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS

Confidence is irresistible—and you’ll start having that in spades this year, as Jupiter visits your second house of self-worth. You’re attracted to security and could meet a stable partner. Someone you may have considered “boring” now seems like a great catch (and probably is!). Couples can use this time to get more grounded in your current relationship. Unpredictable Uranus ends a seven-year journey through your partner house this May, adding more consistency to your commitments. But it’s not all scripted: Two passion-powered eclipses this February and July could bring new romance or even baby news.

MONEY & CAREER

Bring on the bounty! Abundant Jupiter spends most of the year in your second house of work and money. This could bring a new career path, a raise or promotion, or a relocation for work. With auspicious Jupiter playing accountant, 2018 could be your luckiest financial year in over a decade. Innovative Uranus starts an eight-year visit to your joint ventures zone in May, which could spark an exciting collaboration. You might explore real estate, investing or passive income options online. July’s solar eclipse in your ambitious tenth house says “CEO”…in skywriting! You could rocket to a leadership role or win a prestigious honor.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Good habits are everything this year. Jupiter in your streamlined second house infuses your daily routines with a pleasant and inspiring rhythm. It may sound basic, but eating, going to bed, and waking up at the same general times every day can do wonders for your vitality. Keep everything simple, including your diet and exercise. For Libra women, Saturn in your feminine fourth house can spotlight hormonal and reproductive health.

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Home and family could be weighty topics in 2018, as structured Saturn visits Capricorn and your domesticity zone. Maybe it’s time to get serious about home ownership, parenthood or putting down roots? This could be an “empty nest” year for some Libras, or a time when an aging parent becomes your responsibility. Your relationship with your mother or a female relative could go through a rocky but important transition. Have you outgrown your crew? Eclipses in your friendship sector this January and August can reshuffle your alliances. The year ends on a vibrant note once Jupiter starts a 13-month visit to your social third house in November
