Personality Perspectives
Libra is one of the four zodiac signs sharing rulership of a planet (with Taurus for Venus, and Gemini and Virgo for Mercury). This theme of sharing is further echoed in its house of rulership, the 7th, symbolizing partnerships. This balancing act within Libra can be symbolized as a combination of head-centered behavior and heart-centered behavior.
The more head-centered, objective traits of Libra include the ability to be an objective observer in a situation, impartial, fair, and just. This trait works well in intellectual fields such as law and mediation.
The heart-focused Libran is more attuned to beauty, human emotions, love, romance, idealism, and the connections between people. This trait works well in the creative fields such as art and music. The combination is ideal for fields such as psychotherapy and life coaching.
