~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is without question that this constellation which has the pacific Venus as its traditional diurnal regent, produces the most beauty- loving and peace-loving types of humanity....when handling the paint brush, pencil or sculptor's chisel, they are unexcelled. Their aesthetic sense is pronounced, and it is as decorators, fashion designers, florists, and music-hall artists that they lead the world. The sense of joy and gaiety inherent in their natures finds full expression in the waltz tempo of Johann Strauss and the rousing marches of Sousa who were both natives of this constellation. They are perfectly at home in the elegant art salons of the elite and love to roam at leisure through elegant fashion salons.

Librans are cursed with the poorest of [short-term] memories although their powers of recollection remain unimpaired. Unless particularly indelible, the events of yesterday...leave no lasting imprint on the mind and so it is difficult for them to commit anything to heart. Even in the small things of everyday life their absentmindedness is phenomenal.

Librans are not particularly ambitious or egotistic, being much more interested in others than in themselves. Only rarely can they be induced to talk about themselves and their achievements.

Librans are also the world's greatest Romeos and people soon fall under the spell of their attention. Since Venus is regent of this constellation, it is not surprising to find its natives addicted to all sensuous delights, Above all, they are the world's greatest peacemakers, and they are frequently called upon to mediate in the cause of peace. Some of the most famous peace-makers throughout history were born when the Sun was passing through the constellation Libra. 

There seem to be two aspects to LIBRA, and two types of Librans, corresponding to the symbol of the Balance, and the ruling planet Venus. Venus produces, just as one would expect, people interested in art and beauty, painting and costume and in every kind of elegance, collectors of china or pictures, of antiques and curios of every sort, connoisseurs, and people who take unusual pains to beautify their home.

The other type of Libran is connected with Venus only as the planet of peace. All its symbolism is concerned with the pair of scales, with fair exchange and recompense, and its aim is to hold the balance. For peace to be preserved everyone must be satisfied, so far as this is simultaneously possible, and so the task of Libra is to reconcile conflicting demands and see that as much as possible shall be granted to all claimants. . Its function is of the greatest social value, but exposes it to a certain amount of obloquy because of the notorious fact that one cannot please everyone. Libra therefore is not always admired; it is accused of weakness because compromise, although often highly desirable, can become through habit merely the easiest way out. Librans should not be troubled by this accusation, which is usually self-interested.

Libra was the sign most generally admired in ancient times- -and not without reason, for it is the symbol of fair play, which was even less common then than now
