Libra is active, artistic, easygoing, peaceable, prizes beauty and harmony, is diplomatic, polished, and very socially inclined.
RULING PLANET Venus: Goddess of love and beauty. In astrology, Venus rules pleasure, social pursuits, art, and adornment. Its influence also inclines toward self-indulgence and love of luxury.
SYMBOL The Scales: Signifying balance, equilibrium, order, and justice.
GLYPH (WRITTEN SYMBOL) The pictograph represents the Scale, which is in perfect equilibrium. This was
the ancient Egyptian symbol for the setting sun, which was regarded as the doorway between two worlds. In symbolic
terms, the glyph is a crescent moon connected to two straight lines resting above a third line. This represents emotion
bounded on either side by reason; the line below symbolizes partnership.
DOMINANT KEYWORD I BALANCE.
POLARITY Aries:
Libra is the sign of partnership and marriage. Its natives are happiest functioning within a union, and often lose their
equilibrium and positive outlook when forced to be alone. Aries, Libra’s opposite sign, is the sign of ego, personality,
and self. Aries people tend to put themselves first, and selfishness is one of their negative traits.

DANGER Libra people tend to stir up ill feelings from others in situations having to do with love. Because they are indecisive and sometimes make a declaration of love too easily, Librans both anger and disappoint lovers. They also have
a tendency to be fickle and faithless.
