| The Bright Side The Libran personality is one which is easy-going, charming and pleasant and for whom relationships are all-important. This sign above all simply cannot do without other people and so makes an excellent host or hostess. Devious What Libra wants, Libra gets in the end and all kinds of devious ploys may be used in the meantime. But a reluctance to dirty their hands gives Librans a steak of laziness which may mean a delay in getting their many plans off the ground.

Harmonizer The basic Libran urge is towards finding balance and harmony with other people and they will often do this at the risk of losing sight of their own needs. A Libran can get caught up in' people-pleasing' but makes the ideal diplomat always prepared to negotiate a settlement between warning factions or to propose a peace treaty to squabbling partners.
| The Dark Side The famous indecisiveness of Librans means that they either sit on the fence and wait or swing widely from one point-of-view to another. So it is not most reliable of signs and is often accused of being two-faces. It is perhaps less well known that Libra is also a very self-centered sign which always insists on its own way. Peaceful Libra is also a sign which values peace - often at all costs and which is very fair-minded so that other people like being around Librans as they will always seek a compromise if an argument is threatened. However, those dealing with Librans should remember that things are not always what they seem because Librans can be so minded, charm the birds our of the trees!. |

WELLNESS
| As the sign of the scales, Libra's main concern is to weigh up options and arrive at correct decisions. The sharp Libran mind shows good judgment in the affairs of others. But in their own lives, the spectre of indecision rises to haunt them. Rather than confront emotional issues honestly, they will sometimes prefer to settle for peace at any price. In so doing, they may lose their way and become angry and frustrated as they suppress their deepest desires. This frustration may lead to illness. SKIN and KIDNEY TroublesThe difficulty for Librans is that, while they are easily upset by arguments, they can create even greater inner stress by not asserting themselves. Typical Libran stress symptoms are eczema, weak backs and kidney trouble. Another area Librans must watch is their weight, since they are often easily tempted to seek emotional refuge in a box of chocolates. More often than not, this is a sign of their insecurity. Over-Eating Persistent over-eating can denote depression. But with their strong and wiry constitutions, there is no reason why Librans should not occasionally indulge a sweet tooth. Balance is a key word for their health and for their general well-being.
| STRESS Difficulties in close relationships can cause great stress for Librans, leading to nervous tension, irritability and maybe sexual problems. Exercise that require mental and physical balance - like the graceful martial art of Arkido or the movement meditations of Hatha Yoga or T'ai Chi - will help them achieve the greater self-control they probably need
