Libra is one of the 12 Zodiac signs in astrology, and this is the seventh sign of the Zodiac. Each Zodiac sign has its own energy, and this shows how the energy is expressed for different planets, bodies, and other positions. You're likely most familiar with your Sun sign, and a Libra Sun is compromising, charming, and committed. Libra Astrology & Your Natal Chart
Wherever Libra is present in your natal chart, this is an area where you're charming and compromising. If you have any natal planets in Libra, you can feel the Libra energy strongly personally with whatever that planet rules.
Libra is an air sign, along with Gemini and Aquarius, and the air signs are social and intellectual. Libra is also a cardinal sign, along with Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn, and the cardinal signs take the lead. Libra connects with the 7th house of relationships and is ruled by commitment-minded Venus. At-a-Glance Libra Keywords:
Libra in Astrology: Connections
Libra is the sign of relationships, partnerships, and alliances in astrology. This sign works well with others, but more one-on-one as opposed to with a big group. Libra can be most comfortable with a partner, and can do its best work when it has someone else to provide feedback and point out what it misses.
Libra in Astrology: Compromise
Libra is the sign of compromise, and doesn't care too much for an outright win. It feels that getting everyone on the same page and meeting in the middle IS the only way to truly win. It doesn't want anyone to be a loser, and can work hard to find middle ground.
Libra in Astrology: Charming
Libra is a highly charming sign, and can charm the pants off of anyone (sometimes literally!). This charm helps Libra get along with others and get them on their side, and Libra uses its charm to win people over and keep the peace.
Libra in Astrology: Fairness and Equality
Libra rules fairness and equality. Libra is the sign most concerned with playing fair, and gets annoyed by a lack of fairness and equality. Libra wants a level playing field for all, and will fight to make that happen (using its talents for charm and compromise, of course).
Libra in Astrology: Negotiate
Libra is a surprisingly good negotiator, and this is likely because it can see multiple sides, uses its charm and ability to compromise, and tries to be fair. This gives Libra a shrewd ability to negotiate, and it tries to find the best possible outcome.
Libra in Astrology: Peace and Harmony
Libra rules peace and harmony. Libra gets super thrown off when surrounded by chaos and loudness and aggression, so Libra has to prioritize peace and harmony as much as it can so it doesn't get thrown.
Libra in Astrology: Balance
Libra is symbolized by the Scales, so Libra connects with balance. Libra needs to have balance in its life, and to dedicate itself equally to as much as possible. When Libra is out of balance, Libra struggles with getting anything done, so balance is a priority. This coupled with peace and harmony are central to Libra being calm and feeling secure.
Libra in Astrology: Vacillating
When not manifesting well, Libra is highly vacillating. Libra can be as indecisive as it gets! Libra sees too many sides, wants to people-please too much, and is too concerned about the way it comes across. It gets in its own head, and pretzels itself. This tends to happen when Libra is surrounded by instability and chaos, and when Libra lacks confidence.
Where Your Libra Energy is Found
If you have any natal planets in Libra, the way those planets express themselves is via Libra, so they are compromising, fair, and committed. The more Libra planets you have, the more Libra-like you can be.
Even if you have no natal planets in Libra, you will have at least one natal house with Libra. The house that falls in Libra (has Libra on the house cusp) can show areas of life where you take a compromising, fair approach. If you have no Libra house cusps, Libra is intercepted (contained) in the house that falls in Virgo, and your Libra energy can manifest subconsciously with whatever that house rules. Transit Planets in Libra
When the transit (moving) planets are in Libra, this can give all of us some Libra energy to play with. The transit Sun is in Libra roughly every year from mid September to mid October, and this is Libra Season, which brings greater emphasis on relationships for us all.
Transit Mercury in Libra helps us to see various viewpoints and to get everyone on the same page; transit Venus in Libra helps us come together and commit; transit Mars in Libra gives more energy with a partner and for diplomacy; transit Ceres in Libra helps us nourish our connections; and transit Jupiter in Libra brings opportunities for partnerships and beneficial alliances. Transit Saturn in Libra can bring out issues we have with Libra, so issues around our relationships and commitments. Any issues around that, we can struggle with, and Saturn can prompt us to work it out. Saturn was last in Libra 2009-2012 (and won't be again until 2039). Transit Uranus won't be in Libra until 2051, but we'll experience many changes in our relationships, commitments, and alliances. Transit Neptune won't be in Libra until 2105 (!), but at that point, we'll focus on spiritual connections. Transit Chiron moves to Libra in 2045, and we can tackle issues with commitment and connecting. Transit Pluto was last in Libra 1971-1984 (and won't be again until 2217), and this brings transformations of our relationships, commitments, and alliances. Strong Libra Energy in Astrology
When multiple planets are in Libra in your natal chart, this can give you strong Libra energy in your life and personality. You can be charming, compromising, and work well with others. This can be the case if you have a Libra stellium (3+ planets in one Zodiac sign), or if you have 2 of your primary triad (Sun, Moon, Rising) in Libra.
You can also feel that you have strong Libra energy if your natal Venus is strong, which is the planet that rules Libra (especially in a fire or air sign). This can be the case if your natal Venus is conjunct your natal Sun, Moon or Ascendant, or your 1st house ruler, or if your natal Venus is a singleton (only planet in an element, modality, or house type). When multiple transit planets are in Libra, this gives all of us a strong dose of Libra energy all at once. We can come together and commit. How we end up feeling this personally is usually focused on the house in your natal chart the Libra energy occurs in. Suggested Reading: The Libra Sun sign page Comments are closed.
