♪♪ Venus in Libra soundtrack: The Will to Live, Ben Harper ♪♪
Venus represents love, harmony, friendship, happiness, peace, diplomacy, agreement, support, romance, style, sensuality, desire, indulgence, extravagance, sexuality, bliss, aesthetics, art/artists, all things beautiful, the feminine, women, sisters, daughters… Her day is Friday and her color is light blue-green, just like the sea foam that the goddess Aphrodite arose from. Where Venus is in a birth chart will tell us what we are attracted to, what we value, and how we see ourselves.
Libra is an airy, initiating, masculine sign ruled by the planet Venus. In the northern hemisphere, Libra marks the autumnal equinox and the Sun’s descent into darker months. Equinoxes are times of year when daylight hours are equal to night. The concepts of law and equality are often related to this sign and echoed in its image, the scales of justice. Air signs are known for being rational, intelligent, and communicative. Libra’s logic is softened and beautified by its ruler, Venus, who seeks to bring harmony and balance wherever she goes. We often find those under the scales’ influence to be agreeable, charming, and aesthetically-minded. This sign is top notch when it comes to understanding complex issues and finding solutions that fit everyone’s needs.
When Venus is in a sign of its own rulership, it has everything that it needs to do Venusian stuff. In Libra we can see things like:
- Pleasant discourse with friends
- Amorous connections, or the contemplation of such (possibly with Libra/Taurus Sun or rising or Venus first house people)
- Becoming more concerned with appearances for better or worse
- Relationships coming into balance
- A Libra/Taurus Sun or rising or Venus first house person affecting the part of our charts that Libra rules (health, education, home, finances, etc)
- Health improvements regarding the lower back/butt, kidneys, and/or endocrine system
- Focus on female friendships, maybe new female friends
- New social engagements in general
- Interest in or focus on design, drawing, technical arts (interior design, landscaping, etc)
- Justice being served by you or to you
These are overarching themes. If you know what your rising sign is, you can determine what house Libra rules in your chart. This will tell you what specific areas of your life are being affected by this transit.
