7. LIBRA

Seventh Sign of the Zodiac.

Cardinal Sign of the Air Triplicity.

Active Sign of the Reproductive Trinity.

I

This beautiful person, with gazelle-like wrists and ankles, is graceful and refined; he loves luxury, and is averse to struggle, noise and strife. He loves companion­ship, but is fickle and coquettish.

II — PRECESSION OF THE EQUINOXES

Libra showered the earth with cosmic rays 15,000 years ago. This was a Golden Age, during which time mankind attained a high degree of culture and wisdom. It was a war-free age, during which time men settled their differences over a plush-lined table.

In the future Libra will repeat from 10,472 to 12,629 A. D.

Ill — NATURE, CHARACTER and PERSONALITY

This happy, cordial, affable person is much beloved and much admired. Neat and artistic, he keeps things in order.

He has a deep sense of beauty and refinement, and a strong taste for the arts.

His intuition is greater than his reason; he is more emotional than intellectual; his fickleness is steadied by idealism; he reacts strongly to his environment. Peace-loving, he dislikes to quarrel and is a great peacemaker.

He has a strong tendency to inactivity, and this leads to his putting on weight.

The above is varied by the placement of the Moon, as follows:—

WITH THE MOON IN ARIES . . . ambitious, clever, adapted to new ideas.

IN TAURUS ... is too much for pleasure; this is fine for marriage, if he is not tempted.

GEMINI . . . his mind dominates, but his opinions are unstable; he is oratorical; has many interests.

CANCER ... he desires notoriety and to shine, both at home and away; there is too much indulgence of the senses.

LEO . . . favorable; he loves beauty, refinement and spir­ituality, but carries idealism too far.

VIRGO ... a good companion, but he tends to use vul­gar means to gain support, or to please.

LIBRA ... is dreamy, with no special objective; he is easily satisfied; this is good, if the outside influences are elevating.

CAPRICORN .. . has mastery, method, and cleanliness; he accepts and demands discipline; he wants to get ahead of others.

IV — PHYSICAL

The beautiful one! Especially when feminine. Has a graceful and supple body, well-formed, but, while slender in youth, tends to take on weight with age. Fair and smooth-skinned, his features are regular and refined; his hair may be any shade; his eyes are beautiful — hazel, blue or black; his lips are sensitive, with teeth like pearls; his ears are shell-shaped and soft; he has a beau­tiful Grecian nose; a lithe neck; his wrists, limbs and ankles are slender, and he has small, artistic, beautiful nails.

He has a dancing, graceful, lively walk, and his soft voice is very melodic and appealing.

V — OCCUPATION

Libra is not successful as an independent, except in art. He should strive to form good partnerships or as­sociations.

He is not energetic, but very persistent.

He does not like to seek a market, but is very good in occupations where the public seeks him (Venus).

Venus seeks peace and harmony; thus makes a good lawyer.

He likes to deal with dress-goods, silks, velvets, fea­thers, ornaments, beauty parlors, art goods, foods and candy.

Other occupations in which Libra would do well, are

artists                writers
adjusters           secretaries

VII — HOW LIBRA MATES WITH OTHER SIGNS

WITH ARIES ... possible, but difficult. (See Chapter I, page 13).

TAURUS ... not best. (See Chapter II, page 21).

GEMINI . . . difficult. (See Chapter III, page 30).

CANCER ... not easy. (See Chapter IV, page 37).

LEO . . . good. (See Chapter V, page 45).

VIRGO ... no attraction. (See Chapter VI, page 53).

LIBRA . . . not best; both need attention to be happy; both are opportunists; marriage might work out, but usually fails.

SCORPIO . . . difficult; Scorpio's pride and jealousy dis­turb Libra; they cannot see eye to eye on bringing up children; Libra would spare the rod, whereas Scorpio lays down the law.

SAGITTARIUS . . . excellent; especially if Sagittarius is the male; both are gracious, generous, and fun-loving; what Sagittarius lacks in discrimination and neatness, is made up by Libra having too much of both.

CAPRICORN . . . very good, especially if Capricorn is the male. They understand each other, despite their dif­ferent approaches to life; Capricorn's reliability and effi­ciency, and Libra, mistress of social graces and personal accomplishments, are to be proud of and admired; both thrive on admiration ; Capricorn has to be in the driver's seat, which is okay with Libra.

AQUARIUS ... not best: FIT mentally, but do not sa­tisfy each other emotionally; for Libra needs praise and tenderness, while Aquarius likes an easy life, and is not inclined to go out of his way to please others.

PISCES . . . not comfortable, for Libra is bored and dis­gusted with misery and squalor, whereas Pisces goes out of her way to save the world from misery. Pisces takes up with everybody, whereas Libra likes interesting, good-looking, witty, and helpful people.

Thus, Libra mates best with Leo, Sagittarius and Capricorn.

X — CUSPIAN IN LIBRA

September 23 to October 1

This is the most powerful of all the cusps.

They are not self-starters. They are not interested enough to tackle big issues. They slumber down through the years, and let life pass them by.

They have a great sense of beauty, and love sym­metry.

They have the charm of gracious living, of repose in manners, and of spiritual calm. They are aloof to petty problems, thus unruffled when everyone else is flustered. They have superb logic, and are fascinating conversation­alists.

But they lack emotional intensity.

Very cautious and deliberate, so they are perfect stra­tegists. Hence generals, like Hindenburg; politicians, like Henry McDonald; spiritual or social leaders, like Ghandi; and prominent writers, like Faith Baldwin.

Their personal attachments are very unstable.
