Dates: September 23 – October 22Element: AirModality: CardinalRuler: VenusPolarity: Yang · relationalSymbol: The Scales

Libra exists in the space between people. Ruled by Venus and made of air, your gift is seeing every side, creating beauty from tension and making the unfair feel balanced. You're a natural diplomat and an incurable romantic, drawn to harmony, art and partnership. Relationship is your element, and you become most yourself in connection.

Libra Sun, Moon & Rising

What each of the Big Three means in Libra.

Libra SunYour core self

With your Sun in Libra, your core self seeks balance, beauty and fairness. You weigh every choice and charm almost everyone, and you're at your best in partnership. Your lesson is to choose for yourself: to find your own centre rather than only the middle between others.

Libra MoonYour inner world

A Libra Moon needs emotional balance like oxygen; discord physically unsettles you. You'll adjust your own needs to keep the peace, which makes you a gifted partner and a poor neglecter of yourself. Beauty and harmony genuinely heal you.

Libra RisingYour first impression

Libra Rising comes across as graceful and fair. People find you charming and easy to be around, drawn to your warmth and your gift for making everyone feel considered.
