As a Libra, you will often set goals in relationships—you’ll either be influenced by what others are doing, or listen to their advice. This can be risky, because those around you could change, while you’ll be stuck with their advice. The solution? Doing what is most challenging yet essential, and that is putting yourself and your own interests first.
Seeing others happy is heartwarming; being happy with them is better
One of the difficulties of being an idealistic Libra is that, from time to time, you can be fooled by what appears to be the sincere friendship of others. Of course this isn’t necessarily about a friend—it may be anybody, from a family member to a colleague. Whoever they are, the fact is they seem to be trying very hard to make things easy, and instead of being difficult, as others often are, they’re easygoing, and understanding. It may even seem they’re seducing you into having a relationship with them that you’ve always hoped for. They are.
And once that trusting friendship has been achieved, they’ll turn the tables. Unsurprisingly, this shocks you. Yet, it is important to remember that while you as a Libra value harmony, not everyone shares those values. And certain individuals regard the ups and downs of relationships as fun, and will trigger excitement and challenges by misbehaving.
How can this be dealt with? Do nothing. Don’t respond. Learn from it. And, just as important, recognize them as they are. They’ll never change. Instead, busy yourself with those whose company you enjoy, then return to those individuals in question, knowing they, too, will turn around as they always do. Just as the sun rises and sets, certain individuals will behave in different ways. Understand that, and the rest of life will be a lot easier.
Deep down, you have a conviction that the perfect balance exists in life, and that once it’s achieved, you can relax and enjoy relationships with others. But in almost every case, there is a give-and-take that is very much a part of life. If you achieve that balance, enjoy it, but realize that the rest of the world will probably still need to indulge in those ups and downs.
As a Libra, you tend to swing between not taking care of yourself at all and following a healthy regimen. But for you, balance is the most important thing, as is the pleasure that comes with taking care of yourself. If you can find a way of eating and taking care of yourself that gives you pleasure, the rest will be easy.

Out of character as saying “Yes” to an offer that has come from out of the blue may be, your instincts are telling you that these are as good as they seem. Better yet, what you learn and experience—and possibly who you meet—will add to your life, and in ways beyond anything you can currently conceive.
Libra: SEPTEMBER 22 – OCTOBER 21
Ruler: Venus
Symbol: The Scales
Element: Air
Flower: Rose
Being ruled by Venus, the goddess of elegance, beauty, and love, you as a Libra have an instinctive elegance and talent for making others—everybody you meet—feel special. This talent often becomes your career, and those personal links develop into a lifelong passion. Your flower is the rose; your herbs are redolent mint and sorrel; and ash and poplar are your trees. Jade, in its infinite shades, is your stone.
