LIBRA
THE SCALES
September 24th- October 23rd
Please don’t lose your balance here we are at Libra. Tip the scales in your favour. Libran’s exercise considerable charm but behind this delightful exterior is a will of iron. But usually, before you know it, you have given in to their gracious proposals. When you wake up, you have been had it’s too late. Never mind, I will give you a love potion that will conquer Venus herself.
THE MYTH;
The scales symbol of Libra was used in ancient Egyptian religion to weigh up the heart of the dead. The deceased, overcoming many perils in the underworld, came to the hall of judgment. Where Osiris, king of the underworld, presided. The dead person stood beside the scales on which their heart was placed counterbalanced by the feather of truth. If they balanced evenly, then the deceased would stay in the underworld and live lives of blissful contentment. Hearts were found too light, signifying an evil person, then the unfortunate victim would be eaten by the devourer who crouched next to the scales for that reason. Did you get all that? The scales have been passed down today as a symbol of justice.
Libra’s mystical stone is the Chrysophrase.
As a magnetic talisman, this stone acts as a repulsive force combined with the magnetic sphere born under its influence to repel the emanations from its foreign bodies.
The lucky day is Friday.
The lucky numbers are six and nine.
The excellent colour for this sign is pastel blue.
The best locations for success are places of social activity. Theoretically, Librans are strong supporters of such conceptions as universal brotherhood, universal equality, and human rights, but actually, they seldom (unless it pays) put their pet theories to practice. The natives of Libra, though possessing a finely balanced mental and magnetic organism, are rarely elevated into very prominent positions because Libra is too mentally and physically even to become the famous leaders of any radical or sensational party.
The true Libra personality is charming, attractive, pleasing and graceful. Libra usually indicates beauty, and many of the world’s most handsome men and lovely women are born under this sign. Ordinary Librans show considerable poise. They typically possess a personality that is responsible for the creation of their destiny throughout life. This orientation gives one a good start in life, but the actual carving of the future depends upon the strength of the mind behind the personality.
Sometimes they are quick to anger, and at other times they are very patient and will stand for much nonsense. They dislike pettiness and injustice, yet there will be times in their lives when it will be advisable for them to take stock of themselves and see if they are not guilty of injustice. Though they may not show it, they are selfish and stubborn, with independent natures.
They resent any intrusion upon their independence of thought or action. They manifest the same sort of personality in their business and social life, often reckless and impulsive. Though Librans possess good sense, there are two things they must guard. They should not get into the habit of considering things from their personal feelings and prejudices, and they should avoid jumping to conclusions because of analogies or comparisons.
