daily Horoscope for Libra:
General Information About Libra: Libra is an astrological sign, which is associated with the constellation Libra, in the Southern Hemisphere near Scorpius and Virgo. Under the tropical zodiac, Libra is occupied by the Sun from September 23 to October 22, and under the sidereal zodiac, it ends on November 15. Libra, (The Scales of Balance), is the only symbol of the zodiac that is inanimate (it is not represented by an animal or person). The sign opposite of Libra is Aries.
The corresponding month in the Babylonian calendar is Tišritum, dedicated to Shamash (the Sun).
Mythology:
In mythology Libra is often associated with the Greek Goddess of Justice, Themis, the Greek mythological figure of Atalanta (meaning balanced), and Astraea (daughter of Themis), who ascended to heaven and became the constellation of Virgo, and carried the scales of justice, the nearby constellation of Libra.
Libra is also associated with the Greco—Roman goddess Aphrodite/Venus and sometimes also the goddesses Eris/Discordia, along with Hermione/Concordia, Hera/Juno, Ishtar, Freyja and Frigg, and the god Xolotl.
In astrology Libra is ruled by the planet Venus. The Indian equivalent of Libra is Tula, the Chinese equivalent is the Dog.
Many modern astrologers regard it as the most desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the zenith of the year, the high point of the seasons.
Characteristics:
Individuals born under this sign are thought by practitioners of astrology to have a pleasant, clever, articulate, charismatic, outgoing, fair, artistic, social, refined, diplomatic, even—tempered and self—sufficient character. The Libra person is said to be co—operative, sees both sides, open—minded, just, urbane, partnership oriented, avoids conflict, balanced, graceful, idealistic, and egalitarian. They can sometimes also rationalize, be easily deterred, indecisive and lazy, and are also thought to be flirtatious, extravagant, frivolous, impatient, envious, aloof, and quarrelsome.
Relationships: Astrology claims that in love the Libra person has achieved something of their ideal, and though they may recognize even the smallest failing in their loved one they are afraid to argue over it for fear of 'disturbing the balance'. They are usually romantic and sentimental, but there is also the shallow flirtatious type. Frequently relationships are a 'marriage of minds' rather than 'an earthy mating of the sexs'. Compatibility:
Best Compatibility: Gemini, Aquarius, Leo, Sagittarius, Aries
Possible Compatibility: Taurus, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio
Opposite Compatibility: Pisces, Cancer, Capricorn
Occupations:
Suitable occupations are said to be those where human relationships and a harmonious environment are important; such as artist, poet, diplomat, teacher, social worker, cosmos/space industry, politician, police officer, software engineer, cattle herder (cowboy), and musician.
Body and Health: Physically, individuals born under the sign of Libra supposedly tend to have a graceful figure; charming appearance; a roundish head; small and refined features; a high forehead; and a 'trademark' dimple.
A subject born within the First Decan (September 23 to October 2... also known as the Libra Decante of Libra), may be better looking than the average Libra individual, with a general demeanor and approach to most matters that is essentially calm, easy and cool. Often tall to very tall in height, these natives have a fairly robust frame. There is sometimes a rather peculiar almond shape to the eyes here with lids that droop in the corners and brows that are short and curved. The face is normally quite round and plumpness or obesity may be somewhat common. These are neat souls with good taste who are particularly careful of personal grooming and work very hard to look their best at all times.
A subject born within the Second Decan (October 3 to October 12... also known as the Aquarius Decante of Libra), is inclinded to possess the slim build and straight nose associated with those who fall under the jurisdiction of Aquarius. Here, the body type is normally medium to tall.
A subject born within the Third Decan (October 13 to October 22... also known as the Gemini Decante of Libra), is likely to look much younger than his or her actual years. This native is generally slim, being short to medium in terms of height. In addition, a slightly aquiline nose is very common. It is not easy for this native to get his or her point across when speaking without the aid of hand and/or arm gestures, which are used profusely in a natural manner.
In medical astrology and terms of anatomy, Libra is popularly said to rule the excretory functions via the kidneys, skin, lumbar region, buttocks, adrenals and vasomotor system, and lumbar vertebrae.
Perhaps the most typical Libra characteristic is the "Dimple of Venus." Natives of this Sign will often have a couple on the cheeks or one on the chin. If not apparent in the face, then such dimples may be found in the knees or even the elbows. On occasion, the dimples do not appear until the Libra individual smiles and then, this trademark comes shining through. Indeed, the smile of these natives is said to melt even the coldest of hearts or brighten the most melancholy of moods. This is a smile that wrinkles the corners of the ears and proliferates the irresistible Libra message of peace, love and beauty.
