I am LIBRA: Compliment me – Ruled by Venus

Our VENUSIAN friends are not only looking for harmony, symmetry, balance, grace and beauty, they also seek and long for the blending of harmonies, the union of opposites. If they Yin they seek your Yang, if they’re Blue they seek Orange, or Purple for their Yellow. The psychology of the LIBRA cannot exist without a polar opposite through which to define the self.

The SCALED ONES define themselves through both their similarities and their differences to others. No one is more viscerally aware that the human experience is painfully isolated by our individuality, and yet endlessly fascinating because of our differences, comparisons and similarities.

Your LIBRA neighbor can become enthralled ad infinitum with the aesthetics of self and other. Lost in the endless kaleidoscopic fascination of the play of light between individuals, the magnetism and beauty of attraction. The endless harmonies and changing light works set off through human chain reactions can pull our visual LIBRAN into a veritable vortex of fascination, from which they may never emerge.

To call them shallow would, well, be shallow of us. Although your friend the SCALES can indeed appear obsessed with dreamy, frivolous pastimes there are very real forces pulling within them with which they must contend.

LIBRA is the zodiac sign charged with understanding the nature of pairing, partnering and union with others. They are painfully, exquisitely, aware that individually they are alone, and must join forces with others. The entire focus of their being is hurled into an awareness of this need, and the process of understanding, contemplating and creating such unions has such depth, such meaning and such repercussions that they anguish, assess, weigh, balance, question, test, verify, test some more, and generally spend all of their time deciding what to do and how to do it. Until of course they see, feel or learn something new. Then the entire process begins all over again.

The LIBRA more than any other sign must test and retest their own senses. And through this constantly evolving process he comes to understand his own likes and dislikes. It is a slow evolution. She tries spicy peppers because you like them. Hmm, so interesting, fascinating this sensation of burning fire in my mouth. I must understand more. Why do you like this? Pretty soon, sweat pouring down her lovely face she decides, no, I don’t like this. You must be crazy, why would you suggest such a thing to me? But then if you like it, there must be some secret locked within this torturous experience that will lead me to a deeper understanding of my bond with you. And so it goes for the SCALE PERSON testing one thing and then another against all previously known experience. Seeking to understand. A never-ending journey to be sure.

And yes, the LIBRA person has a well developed sense of aesthetics. They want life to be pleasing to the senses. They want to be pleasing to the senses and to be appreciated as such. Worship her, and she will worship you back. Trouble is, all this art, beauty and illusion can become, well, a bit stagnant.

Like water that sits still for too long, your LIBRA has been know to get a bit muddy. This is how he learns from his complimentary sign ARIES – who teaches him about the value of action, motion and enthusiasm. Ultimately the SCALE-BEARER learns to understand all this union, balance, testing and verification as part of a life filled with direction, process and motion. And then he finds his place in the world as the judge and champion for the virtue of fairness.

If you love a LIBRA stare deeply into his eyes. Compliment him or her, both with words, and with your actions. Shower beauty upon her. Take him to a museum. But most of all convey with your words and actions your respect for the bond, mutuality and union that you share together. They will fill your days and nights with dreamy romance, poetic musings, and lyrical lovemaking
