Libra

"Ask a Libra if you want to see both sides of a difficult or troublesome situation. Libras are notoriously good at being able to size up any situation and discover the pluses and minuses of it." - From the book Skilled metaphysicians and artists, the husband-wife team of Monte Farber and Amy Zerner--also known as The Enchanted Couple--have birthed a great new book series dedicated to each of the 12 Sun Signs of the Zodiac called Astrology Gems. I had the pleasure of reading the entire Astrology Gems series and was surprised and delighted with both the format and content. Although the Astrology Gems series are small gift books, they are jam packed with practical, eerily incisive information. Some of the tidbits found in the Libra book include: * Charts on related planet, element, quality, day, colors, plants, gemstones, metal, etc. * Extensive keywords * Lists of Typical Behavior/Personality Traits, Positive Traits, Negative Traits, Behaviors/Abilities at Work * Behavior/Abilities at Home, Attitude Towards Money, Leisure Interests/Pastimes, Likes, and Dislikes * Romantic Pairings, Health, Libra as Parent, Libra as a Child, Libra as Co-worker, and Libra as Friend * Libra as Employer and Employee * Typical Occupations, First Dates, and Libra in Love * How the sociable ruling planet Venus influences Librans Idealistic, fair, and cooperative, Librans are highly attuned to aesthetics, craving both harmony and beauty in their surroundings. They don't like to be manipulated and are unlikely to stop to this tactic themselves. If you're a Libra--or someone you love is born under the sign of the Scales--the Astrology Gems series for Libra will show you: * Why Libran children shouldn't be hurried * The root of Libran indecision * Why Librans make good negotiators * What Librans bring to a party In the Astrology Gems series, I have found the Health profiles to be exceptionally accurate. For example, Monte explains that Libra rules the skin, among other things, that eczema can be a problem. My 8-year-old son is a Libra and he has had minor bouts with eczema for several years now! And the description of Libran children? Again, amazingly accurate from my experience as a Mom to a Libran child. If you're looking for piercingly insightful information on Libras that goes beyond the usual cookie-cutter astrology book, the Astrology Gems series abundantly delivers.
