Libra in Living Harmony
If there is any sign that has flowers lining
the spinal cord and a heart full of winsomeness, it is Libra. With
Venus as their ruling planet and the powder of Air ascending him through life, the Libra is highly attuned to his
surroundings and experiences the world through his senses and intuition. The Libran archetype is forever seeking perfect balance, like a dancer on a balance beam. This extends toward relationships, emotions,
work, friendship circles, left and right brain activity and the perfect
harmony of surroundings. He thinks in musical notes, a symphony between the planets and converts the stationary words on paper into living poetry.
Librans prefer relationships to be chaos free and tranquil, and he will
instantly act as mediator if this is not the case. The compulsion for balance
propels the Libra to see both sides of the argument, draw equalities, and
teach others a way to empathize with every perspective. His gift to the zodiac is
creating and monitoring social harmony, and his gift to himself is gorgeous
colour co-ordination, sweet scents and candles, tactile fabric, luxurious jewellery and the attitude imperative to forming many friendships. Especially for those with heavy Libran influence (namely on the
ascending) they have faces of exact symmetry. His direct urge to
restore justice and balance causes him to compromise his own
innate beliefs - although, like erratic air, these seem to be quite changeable anyway.
Ideally, justice to Librans means the attainment of virtues such as
peace, equality, beauty and integrity. The Libra can be found dreaming
up new realities and perfecting the ideal world. In attempts to
save his own distress, many Librans would prefer ignore the darker and
hostile side of life, and direct focus to restoring and maintaing beauty
in their own worlds.
Abstract theory consumes most of the Libra’s mind, and he exudes some
of the most heightened senses of the zodiac. Dark, unkempt and
inhospitable surroundings can cause much internal chaos and anxiety, all
whilst sensory pleasing environments replenish peace and stability.
Being so perceptively intense also means the Libra would relate many of his memories to sensory memory, such as remembering a familiar smell
and being unable to take themselves away from that time or place. Like cool, flowing and light air, Librans express like a free floating love bubble. Libra energy ubiquitous, like celestial music crossing frequencies of emotion and
thought, one that knows no boundary between the self and others.
