LIBRA
GLYPH / SYMBOL: Scales
Libra, you are represented by the Scales which is constantly tipping up and down. This is means you can always see both sides of an argument or debate, but so much so, you can struggle on committing to either side leaving you sitting on the fence. And not for lack of strength because it’s very hard to make a push over out of these strong-minded characters, it’s just you are very indecisive which can actually be frustrating for you internally…but any other sign would never know outwardly. Having the need to always restore balance, peacefulness and do the right thing, you have this amazing ability to put on a mask and carry on so seamlessly everyone else would never think you were under pressure or tearing your hair out on the inside.
RULING PLANET: Venus
Libra you are ruled by the goddess of beauty and planet, Venus. Everything you do or desire has to be beautiful or have an air of beauty about it; and oh my you are an attractive lot! Libra take great pride in their appearance whether that’s wearing the latest trend, wearing something you’ve made yourself or rocking your natural beauty. Libra loves colour! The bolder and brighter the better. Libra’s tend to be very creative and have this ability to turn something old and haggard into a new colourful delight…you are the masters of up-cycling and are very resourceful. Venus, the planet of love, gives you guys desire for others, cravings for company and passion for love and friendship. Libra’s are much happier in the company of others where they can thrive off another person’s energy.
Who are you in the stereotypical friendship group? You are always the peace keepers, ensuring everyone is happy and harmony is present. However, the desire to always put others first is a wonderful trait, but this means your own needs can be disregarded. You can lose sight of what you want and get lost in a relationship by investing so much in your significant other.
ELEMENT: Air
Being an Air sign, you are very tactful and use your mind and language to your advantage. Need someone to negotiate your phone bill down which just sky rocketed? Get a Libra on the case. Libra is an advocate for justice and fairness and with such natural charm and grace they can convince you of anything and leave you clinging on to every word they say.
Air is also rational and logical meaning you approach the world in this manner and always using your head to solve issues and problems.
MODE: Cardinal
Libra is a Cardinal sign meaning you are action orientated and you’ll not ones for slacking off. You are hard workers, determined and busy people. However, being ruled by lazy Venus, you can tend to find it hard to get yourself going, but once you have your mind set on something, you are off and away.
BODY PART: Kidneys and Endocrine System
As the symbol of the scales, you are all about balance and restoring balance and this is reflected in your body too. Libra rules the Kidneys and their function is to filter the blood and send it back around the body. It cleans and restores health and balance within the body. Also, the kidneys are positioned where our bodies bend in half, further representing where the Libra tips back and forth like the scales. The Endocrine system is made up of glands which secrete hormones that regulate the body, which is why you, Libra are so good at regulating everyone around you and keeping things, fair, just and equal.
