LIBRA is the sign of CONNECTION
LIBRA is venus-ruled. Librans expect strict justice and want everyone to get a fair chance. Venus rules fields relating to art forms and industries relating to beauty, clothing, costuming, fashion and adornment.
Libra's overriding need is "to connect", build bridges to other people,find a partner-a lifeline. This can also be true of anyone with a chart that has many Libran planets or a 7th House emphasis.
Something in the early part of life-- separated Librans from those close. This left them feeling disconnected,high and dry, even abandoned (although this was not intended) Although family members may have been kind and caring, there was at some point--a sense of loss, separation, alienation, causing a lifetime motivation to get back those broken lines of connection.
LIBRA ON THE ASCENDANT endows this sign with great charm, friendliness and a desire for social interchange, parties and get togethers. Libra, an asset to any gathering, stands out as the essence of cooperation and diplomacy. But make no mistake, Librans take charge--they are the managers of the zodiac.
A RATIONAL BEING:Libra can be so understanding of both sides that a quick judgment is difficult. But this very attribute applied to mediation or delicate arbitration can succeed where others fail. Librans excel as judges and diplomats.
Librans are famous for having difficulty making up their minds. You will see this when they are faced with a restaurant menu.
The backlash comes in later life when such Librans overcompensate for their indecision by being unflinching in their opinions (Margaret Thatcher, former prime minister of Great Britain)
Librans may laze around for weeks seemingly doing nothing--only to have a long stint of working full bore. They play hard, work hard and rest "hard".They spend their entire lives unconsciously re-arranging and bringing their lives into a common sense balance.
LIBRANS ARE PEACEMAKERS of the zodiac.They prefer to avoid conflict. This is a sign that craves harmony-but can try so hard (in a relationship) to keep things on an even keel, they can actually set up the very tensions they want to avoid. Most Librans are quite even tempered-- driving their cars and their lives with orderly precision. They will put up with a lot until you have gone too far. Don't say you weren't warned. The fur flies, nor very often but when it does, vacate the premises. After putting up with the impossible for just so long-- well....?
FAMOUS LIBRANS INCLUDE Kate Winslet, Catherine Zeta Jones, Michael Douglas, Christopher Reeve, Gwyneth Paltrow, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Heather Locklear, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Sting, Luciano Pavrotti, John Lennon, Marie Osmond, Ralph Lauren, Yo Yo Ma, Nancy Kerrigan, Angela Lansbury, Bryant Gumbel, Mark McGuire, Serena Williams, Sarah Ferguson, Barbara Walters.
World Figures/ Peacemakers of History: Pres.Dwight D. Eisenhower, Pres.Jimmy Carter,Lech Walesa, Desmond Tutu, Jesse Jackson, Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Thatcher, and Mohandes Ghandi.
LEO is ruled by the Sun so the personality is charismatic, strong and is created to shine. Leos are the CEO's of the zodiac. They take on responsibility, naturally. They prefer to leave the menial jobs to others, yet can dispatch them competently and without complaint-- if they have to.
FIRE SIGNS Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are ambitious. In Leo's case a better word is "aspiring." Idealistic Leo likes noble endeavors but must be trusted implicitly so they will put 100% of their hearts into the work. Leos will fight hard for what they believe is the high road. They are powerful opponents but luckily fight fair. They can look you in the eye and not blink an eyelash because the conscience is clear. Frightening isn't it?
Leos have adventure and safari in their souls but must take care not to attempt the impossible. Leos magnetic spirit and enthusiasm makes for success in any field but Leos require autonomy and some individual power over their work. They make superlative creators, teachers, lovers, actors, and can host a party or gala like none other.
Leos are the queens, kings, clowns, musicians, artists, and fun lovers of the zodiac. No matter how imperious some of them may appear, they have the heart of a child and never lose their sense of wonder. This is the secret behind their charisma and creativity.
THIS SIGN must be on stage in some form. The footlights are like the sun. Center stage is a compensating mechanism--a backlash response to a so-called Cancerian incarnation. Cancer will do anything to avoid center stage, but eventually will move into next sign, Leo, where it is demanded so special lessons are learned. Leo rules the heart so the strength and vitality are apparent.
Since Leos are the royals of the zodiac, they like trappings, ceremony, staging, dramatic backdrops, fine clothing, and the unusual. This sign falls on its knees in the presence of beauty, goodness and a nobility of purpose
*From The Sylvia comic strip on getting a give for Leos: Buy them "an ocelot or a new Jaguar and make it red".
FAMOUS LEOS: Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Jacqueline Kennedy, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Miok Jagger, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Melanie Griffith, Antonio Banderas,Madonna, Sean Penn, Whitney Houston, Robert Redford,Sandra Bullock, Elizabeth Dole, Martha Stewart, Danielle Steel, Jerry Garcia, Peter Jennings, and J.K.Rowling. ATHLETES: Barry Bonds, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Alex Rodriguez, Pete Sampras
THE SAGITTARIAN:DONT FENCE ME IN
THIS IDEALISTIC fire sign is ambitious, adventurous, and has an impetuous spirit. But there is more. SAGITTARIANS are also visionaries. They should go with their hunches unless chart aspects suggest otherwise.Their comprehensive intellect coupled with strong intuitions brings them success. They are strong for people to be free to make their own choices and would fight for you if your rights were denied.
MANY SAGITTARIANS are impulsive, their swift minds acting quickly. They have to learn to dot the i's and cross the t's, but prefer to enlist someone else for that. Most have the aura of refinement that makes them naturally and inherently aristocratic, no matter how humble the background or condition of birth.
IN THE EARLY YEARS, SAGITTARIANS are usually happy souls, but timid and shy with people outside the family. They may be non verbal, yet grow up to be orators and professors. (Our Sagittarian son never spoke until he was about three and then talked in phrases and short sentences)
MANY SAGITTARIANS ARE blunt in speech, too direct, as if there is some kind of overcompensation or backlash to the early timidity. Residual self-consciousness can produce an awkwardness or klutziness when faced with too formal or restrictive a situation. If you don't give this sign physical and psychological room--you will find out why it is often called "the bachelor/ette sign.
If Sagittarians have their basic need of freedom satisfied, their potential for success is dramatic. Sagittarians are often avid athletes, and if not--are active fans, riveted to the television- watching team sports. Many "sports widows" are married to Sagittarians. If you have Sagittarian planets like Mars, hiding in the chart, you are probably familiar with these traits.
If Sagittarians are educators, they can evolve to scholars and professors. Sagittarius rules the Ninth House of Publishing,Law, Religion, Philosophy and Foreign or Long Distance Travel.Never underestimate the high spiritedness and lofty ideals of a Sagittarian.

ALTHOUGH SCORPIO often appears to be a quiet, intense person, he or she is someone who has powerful held-back passions and "will" get what they are after. If you find a SCORPIO who talks constantly, this can be competitive Mars and controlling Pluto revealing they rule this sign. Out-talking another is part of the game. Scorpios are willing to wait for however long it takes to get what they want. Don't even look as if you may be trying to get what they are after. Hopefully you're not, because you won't succeed, unless you are perhaps--another Scorpio.
SCORPIOS are very private people. They are like FBI agents, wanting to know "who you are" and "what you're after". Just don't try to find out too about them. They are as secretive as clams. They must trust you and your motives first, and loyalty is their password. Guilty feelings stemming from the past make them feel others are out to get them. Sometimes they're right. But Scorpio is one of the most powerful of adversaries and "does whatever it takes".
One astrologer claimed there is no such thing as an ordinary Scorpio. Certainly few signs run any deeper or any more profound. But if any sign is said to be black or white about issues, this may be the one. Scorpio is for you or against you. No middle ground no matter how diplomatic on the surface. If you are authentic and real they will die for you. If you betray them you are as good as dead to them, because they mentally erase you from their consciousness as if you were.
SCORPIO has a powerful physical appeal that is intense, almost hypnotic, far beyond chemistry, attractiveness, or any other obvious lure. There is wizardry that may make even the Scorpios a little uneasy.
Scorpios, as children, often felt totally controlled, owned and possessed by the prominent parent. They also tend to feel rejected by that same parent with whom they have a bittersweet, love/hate relationship. They may feel too close to the parent or so co-dependent that resent their own dependence and blame the parent.
Scorpios have to break away from home if only to know they exist apart from it. The tighter the bond, the farther away they have to go to separate. When they have their own children, they seek to possess them because of their own dependency needs. (This can be moderated by harmonious planetary aspects to the Sun and Moon )
High-minded Scorpios are noble flying eagles, no longer scorpions. and we can be proud to know any one of them because they can become the epitome of integrity and passion, ready for the highest of missions. They can be as dedicated, if not more so, than self sacrificing Virgos, Leos, and Pisceans. More than any other sign, Scorpios fear death and must probe it's mysteries even if they have to go through the valley of the shadow to over come it.
Scorpios, like lasers, penetrate deeply- any subject or study. They dig beneath the surface for causes and ferret out the truth. FIELDS OF EXPERTISE include: medicine, surgery, research, X-Ray technology, executive management, FBI work, psychology, psychiatry, science, photography, criminal law and pathology, journalism, and any work that involves strategy or digging for the latest information available.

Clinton, Dan Rather, Jane Pauley, Ted Turner, Larry King, Walter Cronkite, Morley Safer, Maria Shriver, Keith Lockhart ( Boston Pops) Dennis Franz, Charles Bronson, Richard Dreyfuss, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Graham,Leonardo de Caprio, Jodie Foster, Meg Ryan, Jamie Lee Curtis, Grace Kelly, Winona Ryder, Kate Capshaw, Ethan Hawke, Claude Monet, Georgia O'Keefe, Pablo Picasso, Sammy Sosa, Carl Sagan. Also Baseball's: David Ortiz, Johnny Damon, Coco Crisp and Julio Lugo.
THE REAL VIRGOIF YOU WANT A REAL FRIEND, try a Virgo.They are fun, intelligent, talkative, knowledgeable and loyal. Ruled by Mercury, sign of the mind, they can be super discriminating, and sometimes, intellectual snobs.
IN THE EARLY LIFE, this sign seems to require special treatment. They are not easily pleased. They are similar to a plant forced to transplant and survive in a hostile climate. They are "temperature" sensitive.
Notoriously picky eaters early on, they are best not forced to eat certain foods they shun. They could have serious allergies that are not obvious. The care and feeding of Virgo children takes patience. And like other earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn, they cannot be hurried, pushed or pressured.
Most Virgos love the wonders of nature--outdoor activities, gardening and sports. They gravitate to research and the natural sciences-- medicine, health, nutrition, math, social studies, computers and electronics. They are naturally efficient, run a perfect office, and are clerical geniuses. They are often found in medicine--making exceptional surgeons, nurses, and laboratory workers. They are best as individual contributors rather than managers--because they require precision and are detail-oriented.
Drawn to environmental and ecological studies, they can be so dedicated they might want to recycle you if you get in their way.
Anything they touch is put in order, is meticulously attended to, and can be found instantly when needed. They seem born to assess and judge everything within their grasp. They swiftly analyze, categorize, and take in every detail involved. Nothing gets by them. They are natural editors, proof readers, and critics who discern with discriminating taste.
Drawn to "flaws" like bees to honey, they will be the first in the family to notice a hairline scratch on the car or a finger smudge on a window. If you want to team up with one, assume you will get a healthy dose of criticism daily. Their intent is not punitive. Their role in life is to find errors and correct them. They need to solve problems. They consider it helpful. If you are unduly sensitive, stay clear of them. Then again, don't, because they can be delightful companions.
AS A GROUP, Virgos tend to be good looking, earthy, and attractive to the opposite sex. Appearing a bit proud at time- as well as literate and brainy-they are cordial to all but will not suffer fools gladly. They prefer to be home with a good book or movie rather than listen to inane chatter. Better still, they prefer to arrange a gathering of fascinating people around them with exquisite food and wine.
VIRGO AT SOME POINT realizes that identity, physical health, and spiritual survival is dependent upon work. They make of their work a life line, a labor of love, sometimes an unceasing obsession or a daily mission. Many are workaholics. They find work to be an aristocracy of the spirit. Like an informal missionary, they glory in it, as if it were their child, or a gift from the gods..
Virgoans get along well with Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer,Taurus and Capricorn. You can get along with them as well if you have the Moon, Mercury, Venus , Mars or Ascendant in Virgo ( hopefully with harmonious aspects ) . If you have any of these placements, you will recognize yourself in much of what has been said.
Virgo wants an ideal world so is not always the happiest of signs. Perfectionism is not easy because one is doomed to face failure, daily. In early life, some Virgos can be slobs-- like Oscar Madison only to turn-- in adulthood-- to a fastidious Felix Unger. Either way you've gotta love 'em.

Cancerians are restless and like to stay on the move, physically or mentally. Ruled by the Moon, Cancerians are drawn to shining powerful personalities-- even becoming dependent upon them-- even resenting them at times.
The nurturing instinct is strong. The Cancerian mission in life is to secure, protect and defend home and family. Watch a Cancerian face light up when children appear. Watch some Cancerian parents spoil them with material things. Watch them nurture and take care of any job you give them. People with the Moon,Venus, or Mars in Cancer can exhibit these qualities as well.
Cancerians require security as a top priority. Not a surprise that in 2006 Cancerian President George W. Bush wanted a missile shield as soon as possible. Cancerians Gerald Ford, H.Ross Perot, Bob Dole, Thurgood Marshall Nancy Reagan were protective and self-protective spirits. When you know the Cancerian background you will understand.
Prince William and his mother Princess Diana were born in the sign Cancer. Are we surprised the prince avoids the camera? And how Cancerian of Princess Diana to want to protect innocents abroad from land mines.
Try not to criticize or ridicule Cancerian children. This is one of the most sensitive of signs. For a Cancerian, ridicule is death. Cancerian Pearl Buck describes the artist as one so unbearably sensitive that a touch is a blow. She may have been describing her sign yet this trait helps Cancerians become acutely sensitive to the needs of others. Some may even turn critical themselves to ward of the threat of censure. Some develop an acid wit or a cynical humor. If consistently threatened, Cancerians will withdraw into their shells and stay there.
Although Cancerians love home...they excel in the business world. They have a taste for and respect for finance. They are conscientious, cautious and security conscious. No risks.Remember they are coming out of a Gemini experience. When they feel threatened, they will hang on tenaciously to what they own or have, and who dares to try to take it away from them?

GEMINI: The Zodiac Communicator (Born approx. May 21-June 21)Few people can convey a thought as swiftly and as cleverly as a Gemini, i.e., unless such persons have Gemini planets in their charts.
Gemini is the arch communicator, the born teacher and story teller. Gemini instinctively entertains as well as informs. It's in the DNA. This is the non stop talker with only Aries able to compete. This sign can sell you anything and is naturally flirtatious. This is the sign of fun in a variety of forms.
Gemini usually has several skills or talents and is multi-tasking expert. Gemini requires variety and mental stimulation as "basic needs". Read this past sentence twice. Even with natal Mars in Gemini, dual professions or several hobbies and enterprises are possible. Geminis excel in work that involves talk, sales, and versatility. Since highly strung Gemini seems to run on raw nerve, the mind is in overdrive, often causing restlessness and exhaustion.
A challenge is to try to get Gemini to stop what they are doing and relax. "What is the point of that?" they may say, when there are so many things to do, to see and to learn? Gemini is not a domestic being at heart. If forced into it, Gemini will run a very organized, efficient home and may put you on a strict schedule.But Gemini is flexible enough to change course when necessary.
Geminis are attracted to a person's mentality and spirit so 'will follow you anywhere'if you like to be on the go. Underneath all that the airy sparkle, Gemini is cerebral and rational and "from Missouri" Ruled by Mercury there is common sense and wit, making quick decisions usually with the head rather than with the heart. Geminis breeze into a room aerating it with a cheerful, chirpy charisma, and sometimes armed with the latest gossip.
Thirsting with curiosity, craving travel and variety, Geminis can wilt and fade if forced into a routine existence. If decisions were left to them, they would be in a constant state of exploration and discovery, yet realizing they do require plenty of rest periods to recharge for the next surge.
Involvement in mental interests has been associated with a long life. So it is no surprise that versatile Geminis stay very young looking into old age.

We are drawn to our opposite sign as if that sign's energy were necessary for our balance or wholeness. Opposite signs can present conflict and challenge at the same time they offer a complement. Even if we don't know someone of the opposite sign, we can learn from that sign's characteristics:
