Libra prefers balance, maintains equilibrium, and avoids contradictions. The inherent desire for harmony, expressed in the evenness of character, can cause paralyzing indecisiveness. Uncertainty can threaten health by creating emotional stress that negatively affects the kidneys and urinary bladder.
Although individuals born under this sign are natural peacemakers and are saddened by arguments and disagreements, they are excellent devil’s advocates in any discussion. They do not like to argue, see all sides of any issue, but in most cases take the opposite position for the sake of beauty of evidence.
They can discuss a case for hours or until the opponent becomes exhausted and gives up. Subconsciously, Libra seeks the approval and admiration of others.
Therefore, they often do what they think others will like, rather than doing what they want based on reality. If Libra was born when the Sun was above the horizon and the planets were favorably aligned, they have a keen sense of what others think and feel.
This ability, combined with an inner desire for unity, allows them to influence people. They give speeches when they are ready to be received. In matters of love, they are gentle, somewhat seductive, and refined. A less developed type of this sign is often indecisive and a womanizer.
However, all Libra take marriage seriously. Obviously, subconsciously understanding the need for a companion and a peaceful home, they carefully choose a life partner for themselves.
Unfortunately, there is no statistical evidence that they are better at it than anyone else. On the contrary, too careful weighing can lead to a marriage of convenience, and then many years of silent desperation and divorce.
Scales born under unfavorable planetary influences may become excessively self-assured and try to direct and plan the lives of their friends. Then they become intrusive and more of a hindrance than a help.
Innate tact, sense of justice, and balanced character make Libra suitable for professions such as diplomat, mediator, judge, or matchmaker.
They excel as artists, teachers, workers in the arts, musicians, interior decorators, salespeople, cosmetologists, sociologists, and artists. Because of their refined aesthetic tastes, they avoid dirty work in unkempt conditions. The most harmonious signs for Libra are Aquarius, Gemini, Leo, and Sagittarius.
Libra is a majestic, airy, positive, and nervous sign. Its symbol (scales, balance) accurately determines its character and influence. In the real world, Libra brings harmony, balance, and symmetry.
They govern the connections between the macrocosm and the microcosm, between the individual and society, and between phenomena and individual phenomena.
Libra are born at the crossroads of existence, which is why they have a hard time making decisions. They hesitate, weigh their options, and contemplate. They try to solve their problems with the help and participation of others.
If human relationships are in dissonance, their health suffers. Disappointment, even if it comes from excessive imagination, can cause a decline in spirit, which deepens into neurosis or affects the kidneys, the most vulnerable part of their physical constitution.
During periods of stress, Libra may seek relief in alcohol and pills, although they are not inclined to harmful habits by nature. This only worsens the situation and damages their health.
The body tries to maintain chemical and hormonal balance through its own secretion and excretion. Toxins in the blood are filtered and eliminated through urine.
Prolonged emotional disorders lead to the production of toxins that add to the burden on the kidneys. Therefore, if the scales of the mental state begin to swing, it is better to consult a specialist in order to restore the balance of consciousness and, accordingly, harmony in the forehead.
As a rule, Libras have good health, even when you can’t tell by their appearance. Their inherent desire for the golden mean usually leads to timely self-discipline, preventing serious disorders.
The beginning of any illness usually manifests itself with typical symptoms: acute kidney and bladder disorders, skin rashes, or severe headaches. If these symptoms do not subside, it is advisable to see a doctor.
Experienced astrologers admit that Venus endows her children, including Libra, with an increased tendency towards sweets and pastries. If this statement turns out to be true, periodic tests for diabetes should be conducted, as this is one of the diseases that Libra individuals are prone to.
Libras born in the third decade should beware of overeating. The most effective therapy for most Libra illnesses is complete rest and relaxation in a peaceful and harmonious environment with beloved and sympathetic friends.
Libras respond to the healing sound of music, so it is worth experimenting with different melodies and determining which ones have the most relaxing effect and bring Libras into a contemplative state.
The great restorative power of the beauty of flowers, beautiful works of art, and quiet conversations with people of a spiritual or artistic nature.
Under unfavorable planetary alignments (and only under these conditions), Libra may be predisposed to lumbar syndrome, anuria, inflammation of the bladder, cancer, kidney stones, uremia, Bright’s disease, diabetes, and (naturally, in women) ovarian cysts. To specify the indications, it is necessary to consult an astrologer familiar with medical astrology.
