Book Cover & Preview Text
As a cardinal sign, Libra is powerful and energetic, and as an air sign it is preoccupied with the mind and all mental
processes. Ruled by Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, Libras need aesthetically pleasing, tranquil surroundings to
bring out their best and engage their natural appreciation for all forms of art and pleasure. To thrive, they need ample
opportunities to socialize and apply their powerful intellect but must balance those impulses with plenty of time for rest
and reflection. Those born under the sign of the Scales are known for their flair in the beauty trades, fashion, art, interior design,
flower arranging, and other fields requiring their love of elegance, symmetry, and luxury. Their outstanding listening
skills and ability to see both sides of any issue also suit them for journalism, counseling, consulting, sales, and
teaching, and their social skills make them invaluable as receptionists, matchmakers, hosts or hostesses, and public
relations professionals. The Libran call to fairness, idealism, and peace leads many to careers in law, mediation, criminal justice, and social
justice. To balance their busy work lives, Scales need to indulge their often considerable artistic talents in hobbies such
as music, painting, and sewing and to take pleasure in physical leisure such as sports and martial arts. Relationships are the key to Libra’s success in life and the reason this sign is associated with marriage, socializing,
and partnerships of all kinds. Scales are the “people who need people,” not out of weakness but because relationships are
the primary way they learn about themselves, grow, and evolve.
