 Libra
is the positive sign of Venus, cardinal air, the
lower abdomen of the Cosmic Man, the scales or
balance. As sign no. 7, it gives leadership,
power and command of ideas. Libra has a somewhat
different meaning in the Vedic than in the
western system. In its stronger manifestation it
is the sign of reformers, revolutionaries,
prophets, idealists and fanatics.
Libra individuals have a strong sense of harmony, justice and
balance, particularly in the realm of ideas.
They want to see heaven on earth. They are
sensitive, humanitarian, excitable and have the
power to arouse and influence the masses. Their
orientation is often political, in which sphere
they often become leaders, even great generals.
They love the truth and are devoted to their ideals but may
go too far in their zeal and become
propagandists. They have a strong sense of the
world or history as a whole as moving towards
some ideal.
Their idealism may also express itself through art and drama,
which for them becomes a vehicle of social
change. They like fame and recognition and like
to have an audience for their ideas and have a
strong social sense. Librans are usually
attractive and have a charisma that may become
sexual. They are not much concerned with home
and family.
But under the rule of Venus do like beauty around them,
sometimes much like Taurus types. They like to
have circles of beautiful or famous friends.
They often like to live in the clouds and have
strong connections with the higher astral plane.
They can attune themselves to the love truth and
thereby quickly learn to transcend the world.
By their sociable nature they are often successful and want
to make a mark upon the world. They like
business situations that give them
administrative power or ability to influence
others. Yet they can lose themselves in their
goals and projects. |
