Libra Careers

As we are in Libra season, it’s time to write about Libran careers. This is the eighth in a series in which I look at careers for the various zodiac signs.  Maybe you have children or grandchildren born under this sign, and are looking at their potentials, or you are a Libran looking at re-training for a change of career.  If you are a Libran (in Sun or Ascendant sign) and have found an ideal or fulfilling career, please do share that under comments.

Artist

Art is one of the great talents of Libra.

Famous Examples: Mark Rothko, Theodore Gericault, Caravaggio, Johannes Vermeer, Alberto Giacometti

Whereas Taurus is artistic in a more earthy sense, e.g. pottery and sculpture, Libra is a designer, so Fashion Designers (e.g. Ralph Lauren), and Interior Designers (e.g. Terence Conran) have this skillset.

Librans also make good Painters and Decorators.

Musician

In the world of the Arts, music is of equal importance, and just as fellow Venus-ruled sign Taurus can be skilled say in playing a musical instrument, the Libran skill is heightened especially in musical composition.  Both signs often excel in singing.

Famous Singers: Olivia Newton-John and Cliff Richard; Sting; John Lennon; Bob Geldof, Bruce Springsteen

Famous Musicians: John Entwistle, Julian Cope

Beautician

Librans are often dubbed “the beautiful people of the zodiac”.  The beauty industry encompasses many forms of profession, e.g. make-up artists and models.

Hairdresser/Barber is a major line of work.

A cosmetic surgeon may also be included in this category.

Diplomat/ Mediator

This quality can be used at any level, from internationally (e.g. Charles Aznavour, who was primarily a singer, but did work as a diplomat), to a relationship or marriage guidance counsellor.  The sociability and social skills of this sign, especially in a one-to-one context, works well in the Human Resources departments of a larger organization.

In sport, tennis players, Famous Examples: Maria Bueno, Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka, Martina Hingis, Martina Navratilova, Roscoe Tanner, Juan Martin del Potro

Other Occupations: Lawyer, Aeronautical Engineer;

I wrote about Libran Archetypes on 20/9/2015, and will reproduce that here:

“Advocate

Librans are well known for their love of justice and fairness.

Advocate – Traditional

Traditionally, the Advocate is squarely Libran, associated with the law profession and promoting equality.  In her “Archetype Cards” Caroline Myss defines it embodying “a lifelong devotion to championing the rights of others and a passion to transform social injustices.”

Advocate – Modern (with Aquarius)

In her book “Archetypes” Caroline Myss introduces new forms of Archetypes for the modern world.  For the Advocate, she progresses the picture:

“The Advocate may be the most unfamiliar archetype among our family of ten.  That’s because this is a relatively recent addition to the cosmic theatre, having emerged as a recognized pattern of power with the rise of civil consciousness and social action in the 1960s”

Her final thought is: “There has never been a time in history so primed for the talents of true Advocates.  Listen to your heart, find your cause, and commit to it.”

Famous Examples: John Lennon, Sun in Libra, Advocate of Peace, with Ascendant in Aries the Action Hero, partnered by Yoko Ono, Sun in Aquarius, the Social Activist.

Sting and Bob Geldof, Librans born in the same week of the same year, are Advocates for a number of causes.

Married couple Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas share a birthday in Libra, and have hosted a Nobel Peace Prize concert together.  He has been involved in supporting the causes of human rights, nuclear disarmament and gun control (specifically prompted by the death of John Lennon).”

Above all, a Libran will contribute beauty, harmony and elegance to their chosen profession, and often be able to mediate in relations between employees.  They may also play a useful role in representing their fellows in Unions.

Aspects

This week truly is a roller-coaster, so you will need to fasten your safety belts, put on your hard hat (make like a prime minister), and then be open to the highs.

We start tomorrow evening (Monday 17th) on a high, for the Sun trines Mars, reviving our energies for whatever task we have in hand.  It favours the yang side of the male/female equation or balance.  Sporting interests can flourish, or any vigorous pursuits.  It’s a good evening for striking out on a new venture.

There’s another high in the early hours of Wednesday (19th), with another trine: that of Venus with Mars.  This betokens harmony between the sexes, or within the structure and relationship of your own anima and animus.  It would be a good opportunity for sharing and balancing roles, such as career and parenting.  Body awareness, whether it be through yoga, or massage, will bring a sense of wellbeing. Within the night hours, it may bring sensuous dreams.

At lunchtime on Wednesday, there is more of a low…in the shape of Pluto squaring the Sun.  This is a deep soul searching aspect.  There is no whitewashing or kicking the can down the road, as if you try to gloss over something you could meet it in another guise.  Divine the message which the Universe is trying to download to you, for your greater knowledge.

More trickiness later in the day, with an opposition between Mercury and Chiron.  and that is related to health challenges and check ups.  This may bring up some ingenuity in problem-solving, too.  Communications may urge and stimulate you to find solutions.

Thursday (20th) brings another square, that of Venus with Pluto.  Deep feeling issues may be preying on your mind and give rise to vivid dreams, or even nightmares in the later stages of sleep.  These will require some psychological soul-searching for a true interpretation, and may spur on honest-as-you-can-be interpersonal communication.

Lastly, there is a sweet conjunction on Saturday evening (22nd), between the Sun and Venus.  If you are an artist or a musician, it is the day you can produce your best creative output or performance.  If neither, then love or money may be beneficiaries of this combination.

The week in bullet points:

  • Tomorrow – energy, vim and vigour
  • Wednesday – sensuality; drama; health issues
  • Thursday – more drama
  • Saturday – sweetness
