Hello everyone, welcome back to the next ascendant in line the balancers of the zodiac- Libras. If you or someone close to you has this in their natal chart you guys are definitely going to relate to some of the major characteristics of this sign.
Why did I define them as the balancers? Well, first of all, the primary symbol associated with the sign is the scales of Justice. This signifies the innate tendency of Libra people to be just and be able to see both sides of a situation. They naturally have good negotiation skills that they use to diffuse difficult situations. Also, because they hate confrontations, they would rather try to dilute a situation or not be a part of it in the first place. This quality can be one of your traits even if you have sun/moon or a strong focus of libra in your chart but for the ascendants its something with which people identify them with.
Having your ascendant in Libra, makes you the person who keeps the group together. You find ways in which everyone can be happy. Keeping peace and balance in your surrounding is of utmost importance to you. Although, if taken too far this can also turn such ascendants into people-pleaser. In order to maintain balance you might give-in or compromise a little to much. Not that compromise isn’t important in life but, such people need to be careful in maintaining their internal balance as well. Just to keep your external environment people you shouldn’t disrupt your mental peace.
The sign of Libra is ruled by the Venus. Venus in astrology is associated to all things beautiful and this truly holds for libra ascendants. These are the people who are always good-looking. Some maybe be traditionally beautiful, some charismatic, some magnetic but there will always be put in the “good-looking” category. There is a charm and beauty in their persona that you cannot deny. Now this is something which may/ may not resonate for other libra planetary placements but definitely holds for the ascendants as, ascendant is your physical appearance and your personality.
In addition to the good looks, they have a strong inclination to arts and things of beauty. Although Taurus is also ruled by Venus, their interests differ from the Libras. While a Taurean loves luxury and comfort, their venus side is more depicted in the material aspect, for a Libra their Venusian side comes out more in the form or creativity. They would like some form of art- painting, crafts, dancing, singing etc anything that involves their creativity and mental abilities.
This is the beauty of Jyotish, even though people can argue that Venus rules both Taurus and Libra and yet they are so different. How does that work? This comes from their elemental and modality differences. Libra is an air sign and hence are always interested in using their mental abilities. They like to be able to communicate either through their creativity or networking ability. Libras can almost never stay alone, they constantly need people around them. They love to communicate and build partnerships. These can be of any form, friends, family, co-workers, business associates, spouses anyone. They make every good partners because they always put the other person’s need first and are very adjusting. Here comes their moving modality.
Libra have a Moving modality which makes their kendra houses in the moving square. What this implies is their approach to major areas of life, including self, family/home, significant other and career is something they are always ready to work on and change. These people are not as closed to the idea of change as some other fixed signs. Another difference from their Venusian counterpart Taurus.
Because of their air and moving nature these ascendants are always on a look out for change. They have this constant need to identify themselves. Since they can be so prone to looking things from all perspectives they might have issues with decision making. It can be hard for these people to make a choice as every decision has pros and cons associated with it and they know it. If you have this ascendant, try to help yourself by not overthinking on every little decision you make, let life flow and see where it takes you…
That’s all for now, will be back with the next rising sign the – Mystic Scorpios hopefully next week.
