♎ Libra: The Social Architect
September 23 – October 22Cardinal Air • Ruled by Venus • Lower back, kidneys
Personality Snapshot
Libra is where people meet people—and make it feel easy. The core impulse is to connect fairly: listen, weigh, align, and sign the deal everyone can live with. At best: gracious, stylish, principled. At worst: people-pleasing, indecisive, allergic to conflict until it erupts.
Libra themes live loud in the 7th house (partnerships, contracts). Balance this axis with the 1st house (self). Check your Venus sign and aspects—e.g., Venus trine Saturn steadies commitment; Mars square Venus mixes spark with friction.
