Libra: Masculine, Cardinal, Air

Sept. 23 - October 22

Libra is the sign that's affiliated with balance and harmony. Both balance and harmony require all parts of an entity to give and take equally. No easy task. But no sign is more charming and social, or more able to coax the same qualities out of another. Libra is cardinal air, so it wants to start something that's intellectual in nature, like a conversation. Venus - ruled Libra planets are experts at behavior that is pleasing to others, so they specialize in manners, courtesy, and small talk. They don't want to he alone, and because they're gifted with the ability to pacify, they may sell out their own needs or the truth to buy peace and companionship. Their real work is to see both sides of a situation, weigh the options, and keep their inner balance by remaining honest.
