Libra

Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac, a cardinal air sign ruled by Venus and symbolized by the Scales. It carries the energy of balance and relationship, the urge to connect, harmonize, and find fairness between people. The Sun passes through Libra from roughly September 23 to October 22. Where Libra falls in a chart is where a person seeks partnership, weighs both sides, and tries to create peace and beauty. The Libra temperament is gracious, diplomatic, charming, and fair-minded. It has a strong sense of justice, an eye for beauty and design, and a gift for putting others at ease and smoothing over conflict. Libra thinks best in dialogue and grows through one-to-one connection. The same desire for harmony, unchecked, becomes indecision, people-pleasing, and a habit of avoiding conflict at the cost of its own needs. Libra rules the kidneys and lower back, and its key phrase is "I balance." Its growth lies in learning to hold its own position, so that fairness extends to its own needs as well as to everyone else's.
