Libra is the positive sign of Venus, the cardinal sign of air, the lower abdomen of the Cosmic Man. Their symbol is the scales, which are in a state of equilibrium. They give a person strength and the ability to lead others, as well as an excellent ability to assimilate ideas.
In the Vedic system, the sign of Libra is interpreted somewhat differently than in the Western one. This is the sign of reformers, revolutionaries, prophets, idealists and fanatics. People born under the influence of Libra are endowed with a subtle sense of harmony, justice and balance, especially in the field of ideas. They dream of creating heaven on earth. They are sensitive, humane and at the same time able to excite the crowd and control it. Often they devote themselves to political activities, in which they sometimes reach great heights and become famous leaders.
Libra strives for the truth and is true to their ideals, but in their zeal they sometimes go too far and turn into one-sided propagandists. The idealism of Libra can also find expression in the field of fine or theatrical art, which becomes for them a means of influencing society. They love to bask in the glory, they are looking for an audience that could perceive their ideas, and they have a subtle flair for the processes taking place in society.
Libras are usually attractive and endowed with charm, which can also manifest itself as sexual attraction. They are not too interested in home and family, but under the influence of Venus who controls them, they strive to create a beautiful environment for themselves. They are pleased to count beautiful and famous people as their friends. On the other hand, many Libras are closely associated with the higher astral realms. They are able to tune in to the love of truth and quickly learn to overcome the limitations of the physical world.
Thanks to their sociability, Libra often achieve success in life. They strive, one way or another, to leave a mark in the memory of people. They like such business situations in which they can exercise administrative power or influence other people. However, they can also plunge headlong into achieving goals and implementing plans. Libra is in an eternal search for perfect balance and harmony - and in order to find them, they are even ready to become a source of disharmony.
