Libra is an Air Sign. Its ruling planet is Venus, the planet of love and beauty.

 

Positive traits: Charming, romantic, fair, sociable, cultured, artistic, compassionate, diplomatic, easygoing, balanced

Negative traits: Codependent, impatient, gossipy, complainer, sulky

 

Libras are all about peace, harmony, and fairness. They are natural beautifiers, bringing an artistic, refined energy into a space for all to enjoy. They are like the 'gel' in any social situation, compassionately listening to the perspectives of all, and weaving everyone together through understanding. They want to keep things balanced and on an even keel, and sometimes can become stressed if the social environment around them is not in harmony -- because they can take it on as their responsibility.

Conflict is one of the last things a Libra wants to experience, and they always do what they can to create beauty and organization in relationships and groups. However, at their worst, this can manifest as complaining, gossip, and codependency. Overall, Libras are companionable, sociable, easygoing people. To know a Libra is to love them!

About the new moon in Libra:

On the new moon in Libra, we find where we are in relation to the whole. We gain a wider perspective. We see what is around us, including our relationships and the state of the world. The energy of this new moon is deeply saturated in peace-making and can support us in smoothing over rough patches in the relationships that are most central in our lives and in the wellbeing of our communities.

This is a time to take a deep look at ourselves and the way we connect with others (including relationship traumas from the past) so that we can heal and deepen into the intimacy our hearts and the planet most deeply crave. The new moon invites us to let go of grudges and learn to compromise in the name of bringing harmony to the greater whole. The challenge in this? Considering the needs of others without people-pleasing or getting lost in relationships through old patterns of self-sacrifice.

Balancing the masculine and the feminine inside yourself during the new moon in Libra will bring profound healing to you and those around you. To do this work in the safe space of sisterhood, find a Sister Circle near you.
