Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac, lasting from approximately 24 September to approximately 23 October.
Librians are lovers of harmony and justice. They are sociable, charming people, usually good-natured, easy-going, cheerful, romantic and idealistic, but easily influenced by others. They dislike living alone, and need a happy and lasting relationship. Indecision is a problem for Librans, who find it difficult to make up their minds, mostly due to their strong sense of justice and the fact that they can clearly see another person's point of view, hence they hesitate to take sides. Their motto seems to be 'Let's wait and see what happens'.
As Venus subjects, Librans have a highly developed sense of beauty. Many are artistically creative, and talented in design or décor. They like home to be comfortable, pleasant and nicely furnished. They have a natural gift for entertaining, and excel at putting people at their ease. Libran people will never willingly hurt another person's feelings because they have a gentleness of manner that is courteous and considerate. At heart, Librans are sentimental and affectionate. They are inclined to be extravagant with their money - and their feelings! Yet they value a placid lifestyle and pleasant working conditions, well away from discord and arguments. Unpleasantness and a quarrelsome atmosphere can hurt them deeply, and they can then become irritable or moody. Usually Librans have a very even temperament, and never bear malice. They are inclined to compromise, so they make good arbitrators and peacemakers. They are not as a rule wildly ambitious, yet they value security.
Librans may be attracted to careers in luxury trades, including fashion, beauty culture, designing, and art dealing. Many could do well in the Diplomatic Service, or in the world of entertainment, where they come in contact with the public and can use their Libran charm to advantage.
In the Age of Aquarius, Librans might find an urge to travel, visit foreign countries and learn a new language, or otherwise to broaden the mind by further education.
