The Archetype of Libra

September 23 - October 22

Libra’s glyph is the scales - invoking images of justice and balance. Libran energy seeks justice and harmony moving through the world. This empathetic sign is wonderful with people, and has an emotional and social intelligence that is unrivaled. Relationships of all kinds come naturally with this energy, with partners ultimately as the recipient of Libra's charm. 

Cardinal air signs are adept at anything involving the element of air: concept, conversation, writing. Communication is an important part of this sign’s expression and is an expert when it comes to conversation. There’s a keen ability to see all sides of the story and navigate the narrative with diplomacy. This gift for seeing all sides can lead to periods of indecision, and working to bring this aspect into awareness can assist Libran energy in choosing a path. 

Ruled by Venus, this sign appreciates beauty, and matters of the heart. Libra can get lost in matters of the heart and in relationship. An important point for Libra is to remember to balance relationship with other and relationship with the self. 

An eye to harmony is Libra’s gift, and so we look to Libra for an assessment of our personal landscape and considering what can be brought back into balance.

**Note - sun sign placement is impacted by other placements in the chart. If Libra is your sun sign, your rising sign, and other planetary alignments will impact how this expresses in your chart.
