There are three grades of Libra and if you’re born between the 24^th September and 3^rd October you are a true diehard Libran with the quality of Venus fully dominating your life.  You are artistic, caring, full of love and social warmth with many friends, but perhaps too many even for you at times.

Librans born between the 4^th and 13^th October are a little “out there” by nature but harmless.  Your life is a bundle of fun and you like the surprises that are thrown at you from time to time.  Expect the unexpected could be your mantra.

The final portion of Libra is between the 14^th and 23^rd October.  If this is your birth date you are the type of Libran who is constantly on the hunt for knowledge and information – an almost insatiable thirst.  You will never tire of learning new things and could be kindly termed the eternal student.  As well you will never grow old as Mercury’s co-rulership of your life ensures a youthful attitude and sprightly future.

Everybody seems to like Libra Ascendant natives. They just come across as nice, pleasant, and fair. Look a little closer at their lives, and these nice people may have had quite a few problems in their relationships. Some of them have had a string of relationships, and it can be hard to imagine why! These natives attract others to them effortlessly. Besides, they simply don’t know what to do with themselves without a significant other. Libra rising generally appear to be smoothing everything over. They have charming smiles, a gentle approach with others, and an easygoing image. Even if they were not endowed with good looks, they are attractive. Most pay a lot of attention to their personal appearance — the colors they wear, their hair, the way they walk. Libra rising people can be enormously persuasive, although they will almost always use a “soft sell” approach when they want to win others over, which is all of the time!

During the retrograde phase in May and June, you may want to be lay low or avoid more intricate itineraries.

Love may be blind, but you’re thankfully about to have one of its veils lifted after February. Neptune, the planet of illusion and delusion, leaves your romance sector after haunting you for several years.

Career

The cosmic taskmaster, Saturn, takes his final run in your constellation until October. Use the first 10 months of the year to perfect your relationship with time, your integrity and your value system. Work and collaboration are the prime focusese for the first six months. You love to team up in all affairs, but business is always a bit tricky to navigate when it comes to the balance of give-and-take. If you haven’t figured out what doesn’t work for you, let Saturn show you the way. When Saturn moves into your money sector in October, focus on how to rebuild your resources wisely. If you haven’t done so already, now is the year to weed out all projects that waste your time and reap little reward. Too much output with little payback has to become a thing of the past.

This is the year to expand your horizons, Libra. If 2011 was the year of deepening your commitment, 2012 is your year to go beyond comfort zones. There is a whole world of creative potential waiting for you, and all you have to do is grab the brass ring. With Neptune returning to your work sector in February, you’re being called to cultivate a more soulful attitude toward your daily process. If you can dream it, you can become it!

You may be more drawn to music, film, fashion and photography than ever before.
