The Expression of Libra

Libra seeks harmony in relationship with others. There is a focus on the energetic flow between themselves and another. For that reason, there is sensitivity to the receptive state of another and their willingness to return that flow. For this reason, harmony and balance are important in relationships because it optimizes this energetic connection.

When the focus on another person's needs and state becomes too important, it can then lead to indecisiveness and delays while waiting for the other to act first. To break out of that trap and dependency, Libra needs to regain focus on their relationship with themselves, their feelings, and the inner sense of knowing or spirit within.

Libra rules the hips, balance, and kidneys. It is associated with art, diplomacy, tact, and social refinement.

The planet Venus rules the sign Libra. It also rules the sign Taurus. Venus relates to openness, sharing, and harmony. In Taurus, Venus expresses those qualities in a more earthy way, with the openness to what holds value and the valuing of others. With Libra, that openness and sharing seek to maintain harmony and reciprocity in relationships. Because Libra is an air sign, there is a pull towards the beauty of ideas, concepts, and patterns.

Libra and Mercury Retrograde

It is the tendency to over-focus on the needs and attention of others that can set Libra up with the Mercury Retrograde cycle because under those circumstances, details that need attending to may be ignored. Sometimes details may be left out that are important because there may be a sense that others may not wish to hear them, or there is a delay in waiting for the 'right' time to mention them.

Another contribution towards the retrograde cycle can occur through delaying action, not taking the initiative, or avoiding confrontations, and thus not addressing a timely matter that may lead to difficulties later.
