The Basics

Since Venus rules Libra, your main goals in life involve bringing balance, harmony, and beauty to the world around you, while also cultivating a sense of inner peace and harmony within yourself.  You're all about BALANCE; it's even likely that your face is more symmetrical than most others. 

You value fairness, and strive to create a peaceful and beautiful environment where ever you go. You have a natural charm and social grace, and are happiest when you're in a partnership, or at least in a situation that enables personal exchanges with many others. Your cooperative nature makes you a great team player and mediator, as you are skilled at finding common ground and building bridges between people.

In romance, you're quite picky, but you may struggle with the idea of being alone, as you crave connection and intimacy with others.

Though you are creative, you're highly mental as Libra is the second Air Sign - the fancier and more evolved version of Gemini that takes a deeper look into the facts and ramifications of a situation in question. Others may not always see your mental agility because of your easygoing and friendly appearance. You may use very subtle techniques to get what you want, and you usually succeed in doing so.

As a Libran, you are skilled in determining and weighing the pros and cons of any situation. However, if you take this too far, you may find it difficult to come to a decision and lose out on opportunities.  

The Idealistic Aesthete

Your aesthetic sense is highly developed, and you have a keen eye for beauty in all its forms and likely have a talent for these areas yourself.

You also have an idealistic streak, and believe in the power of beauty and art to inspire and transform.  At the very least, you need to be surrounded by beauty for your mental and physical well being.

Conflict-Avoidant and Cooperative

Your natural desire for harmony and balance can sometimes lead to conflict-avoidance, as you may struggle to confront difficult situations or people. You prefer to keep the peace and find a middle ground, even if it means compromising your own needs or desires. However, your cooperative nature means that you are skilled at finding mutually beneficial solutions, and can often help to defuse tense situations.

The Effects of Indecisiveness on your Life

Your desire for harmony can sometimes lead to indecisiveness, and you may struggle to choose between different options or avoid making difficult choices altogether. You can also be prone to people-pleasing, as you dislike conflict and want to keep everyone happy.

Your indecisiveness can sometimes hold you back from progress, or miss opportunities, or keep you from having any kind of direction in your life.

Learning to trust your intuition with confidence can help you overcome this tendency to wait for a perfect moment, or a perfect thought to finally come to a decision and achieve your goals. 

You pay more attention to both sides of an issue than every other Sign - know this, and have confidence that your thought processes are worthy.  As a Cardinal Sign, Libra is an initiator, it believes what it first says is law and will be held accountable for that law (just as the other Cardinal Sun Signs also believe: Aries, Cancer and Capricorn).  However, most people don't hold themselves to all of their own decrees, and neither should you - you can change your mind!  This is not to say that we all shouldn't strive for perfection, but intellectual perfection is your natural mode, and you get grid-locked by trying to achieve it.

Cosmodynes

*Look at your Cosmodyne scores for your Sun's Power and Harmony for more insight.  While everyone has good and bad days, your Cosmodynes reveal where you lean toward on average.  (As we age, we learn to deal with all of our placements, and hopefully, we evolve into more harmonious beings than our Natal charts suggest.)   Transits to your Sun, especially from the outer planets, greatly affect its expression as well.

A Harmonious Sun in Libra:

• You have a natural sense of balance and harmony in your relationships with others.
• You possess a strong sense of fairness and justice, and strive to create mutually beneficial solutions in conflicts.
• You have a diplomatic and charming nature that makes you well-liked and respected by others.
• You value beauty and aesthetics, and have a keen eye for design and style.
• You are able to see both sides of an issue and can mediate disagreements effectively.

A Discordant Sun in Libra:

• When your desire for harmony and compromise turns into people-pleasing or indecisiveness, it can be helpful to clarify your own needs and values. Practice setting healthy boundaries and saying "no" when necessary.
• To manage feelings of anxiety or insecurity in your relationships, it can be helpful to practice self-care and build a support network of trusted friends and family. Seek professional help if needed.
• To prevent your love of beauty and aesthetics from becoming superficial or materialistic, try to cultivate an appreciation for inner beauty and character. Look beyond external appearances and focus on qualities like kindness, integrity, and intelligence.
• Remember that compromise does not mean sacrificing your own values or needs. Stand up for yourself when necessary and practice assertiveness in a respectful and constructive way.

Relationships:

In love, you seek a partner who can match your intellect, wit, and style. You are attracted to beauty, both inside and out, and value fairness, equality, and compromise in a relationship.  You are a great listener who can empathize with your partner's needs and feelings. You are romantic and sensual being who enjoys the finer things in life, such as candlelit dinners, flowers, physical touch and affection.

Your innate sweetness and selflessness are qualities that make you truly endearing. It's admirable how you prioritize others' needs before your own in an effort to create happiness and peace. However, it's important to be aware that by neglecting your own needs, you may create an internal imbalance that could be detrimental to your relationships.

However, you can also be prone to co-dependency and martyrdom in a relationship. You may sacrifice your own needs and desires to please your partner, which can lead to resentment and imbalance. You need to learn to assert your boundaries and communicate your feelings effectively to maintain a healthy relationship. While relationships involve bringing two individuals together, it's also important to recognize the importance of your own needs as an individual. Maintaining a healthy balance between giving and receiving is the key to a truly fulfilling relationship.

Furthermore, as someone who values harmony and balance, it's essential to manage your expectations in your romantic relationships. It's natural to love the idea of love, but be wary of allowing your idealistic tendencies to set unrealistic expectations for your partner or the romance in your relationship. While it's important to strive for the best, it's equally important to remain grounded in reality to avoid setting yourself up for disappointment.

By striking a healthy balance between your own needs and the needs of others, and by managing your expectations in your relationships, you can pave the way to lasting and fulfilling connections.
