Libra

Libra the Scales focuses on fairness, equity and justice. This sign combines airy intellect and curiosity with Venusian good taste and cultured aesthetics. It’s also associated with marriage and partnerships, although some Librans can be married to their work. Librans enjoy socializing and talking to other people, and may be quite witty and bright. Libra seeks mastery of whatever field of endeavor it pursues.  

Saturn exalts in Libra while Mars is in detriment here. Challenges for Libra include excessive perfectionism, rationalizing decisions, and leaping to conclusions before all the facts are gathered for analysis.
