Libra in Astrology: Meaning and Traits
Libra in Astrology: Meaning and Traits
A deep dive into the meaning of the zodiac sign Libra in astrology, with astrologers Catherine Urban, Randon Rosenbohm, and Chris Brennan.
Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac, and it is a masculine or diurnal sign, cardinal, airy, and ruled by Venus.
This is the seventh entry in our series of episodes where we do a detailed treatment of each of the signs of the zodiac, one per episode, in order to develop a detailed understanding of their core meaning and significations.
Catherine and Randon’s credentials for this episode are that they both have a number of placements in the sign of Libra in their birth charts.
During the course of the episode we talk about different keywords and archetypes associated with Libra, and also look at some birth charts of celebrities who were born with different planets in that sign.

Libra= art as statement?
We need a Uranus 1st house get-together to explain it’s Meaning and Traits
Sun, Moon, Pluto, Uranus, Lilith and MC in Libra. Musician. We are charming because we genuinely like people. Charm and niceness are there because we like people and we see their point of view. So compassion and kindness .are there because we see through their eyes. Libras hold a lot of polarities and inner tension that need balancing. In patriarchy, women are forced to be in certain ways and some of that bottled up in libra. Many heavily conditioned libras come across fake
Andreas Vollenweider is a well-known musician playing the harp. His music is so harmonious, jovial, peaceful, calming and has a very uplifting, friendly spirit. All libra attributes. No surprise he is a double libra…
Omg I love Urbans YouTube and out charts are so similar!!!! Cancer rising libra sun mercury rly comes out !!!
hi chris, i just wanna know if libra can be half or not. can it be a luck or bad luck?
Thanks for clarifying rapper Eminem’s abusive lyrics towards women, which he unfortunately won a Grammy for and one of the ways popular performers reflect and shape social attitudes around violence against women being acceptable, which it is NOT. Just amazing he won a Grammy. This is highlighted in the book "Why does He Do That? – Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men" by Lundy Bancroft.
I found the comments about Mars being wholeness (one) and Venus being separation (duality, relational rather than wholeness), particularly insightful. The part with Chris talking about Saturn and Pluto going through Aquarius, and trying to optimistically say Pluto is "fluffy", should be make into a short clip, so funny. Love this series.
Balance an egg ? That’s why we’re called Egg Heads ,?
As a double Taurus – sun and rising and also mercury, I have to say we Taurus are not just about food and earthly pleasures. I am currently a psychotherapist, however, worked as an image consultant and interior designer. Have also been lead singer in a band – yes Taurus and the voice. Taurus are also known to have good taste that is expensive. I unfortunately have been on the receiving end of less than healthy Libras with my Aries Venus/Jupiter/Eris combination that are more manipulative, immoral and not about social justice at all. Can have an upfront image that seems sweet and perfect, but that can be deceiving. More about getting and keeping a relationship at all costs. I realize the superficial was talked about. Can’t remember if this was mentioned, but Venus is also more at home in Taurus.
Love you guys talking about the Libran politicians. Anybody wants to look at Vlad Putin’s chart? )))) Libra.
Been waiting on this one! 0’2 degree Libra rising with asteroid Juno in the 1st. Great observations as per usual!
Both John Mayer and Stevie Ray Vaughan have sun in Libra moon in Sagittarius. Two incredible musicians and guitar players. John Mayer actually could sound a lot like srv with his playing when he wanted to
Great episode guys!!! –
Gemini rules the hands and shoulders… literally the ability to make THE tools, for the following two air signs…
i.e, for the scales in Libra, and the vase for the Aquarian water barer
I would suggest that tool making is with the hands… the innovation of the tools… (from an anthropological perspective)
And that’s Gemini’s (possible) contribution to technology aspect!
Love this channel, I have been working through the episodes. I enjoy hearing what others have to say on it, and the learning along the way.
.
As a Libra I definitely don’t fit into the caring about trends, fashion, celebrity influence, or the current political system. I also have my rising being Aquarius and i’m guessing that might be what’s influencing that?
Is it weird for a Libra to not care about these trends, and fashion? I noticed it being mentioned a good bit, and I just can’t see the appeal, when I definitely relate to "I want everyone to win with me." <- that may be the strongest trait I have.
This talk is fascinating and the egg trick works! This Libra rising Scorp sun has done it!
Stevie wonder and i are tauruses and libras rising, perfect combination for music and good aesthetics
Thaaaaank you soooooo. Looooooved learning about Libra from this Libra who indeed color codes her book shelf. You’re a gift to the world!!!!!!!!!
**patiently waits for Scorpio episode to emerge slowly from the shadows of the internet**
Two libra beauties! Articulate in many ways. Xx
Ugh I can’t wait for Mars flavor. I wonder if Chris is going to tackle the next episode by himself…. I await it impatiently!
also. I want to say this is probably the most enjoyable episode so far, with libra rules venus.
The only two times I hear people say "it’s all good" are from two libras I know. haha. Love this episode so much. Iibras are more intelligent than people think. Also the "feel like they are talking nothing after having conversation with them definitely" rings some bells. haha.
I have my moon in libra in the 9th, as well as my uranus and pluto in libra in the 8th. These energies make me come off as emotionally cold. Relationships with others tend to take on a detached intellectual vibe. I look for depth, reciprocity, forward thinking and fairness; rather than overt emotion and sentiment in partnerships. Emotional fulfillment for me comes from intellectual pursuits, new discoveries and a sense of equality.
20:25 is sooooooo Accurate!!!!! This is actually how a lot of Libra Dominant or Accentuated placements manifest. Try doing this if you want to manifest and have these aspects in your chart.
The Aries in a restaurant example is so spot on. My previous boss is an Aries w/ a north node in Aries. During the dinner birthday celebration for the company CEO, their food orders weren’t served as quickly as they hoped. They followed up with the waiters and all. But my boss stood up and went inside the KITCHEN to talk to the waiters and speed up their service.
So yeah, the impatience in Aries is really there. And the tendency to demand a lot.
Really interesting and insightful episode. Just one bit of feedback, if possible would be great to leave people’s charts a bit longer whilst you are talking about it. Thanks for all your work 🙂
Whoa, it’s like you’re going over my whole chart with the comparisons to Libra. This has clarified so much.
I’ve been struggling to figure out whether I’m a Libra or Scorpio ascendant since I was born on the cusp, and many have thought that my birth time was incorrect. My recorded birth time puts me at a Scorpio ascendant, but a few minutes earlier I would have been a late degree Libra.
I’ve been told I don’t seem or look like a Scorpio, and people guess me to be a Libra.
I relate to Libra and Scorpio, but a Libra ascendant would make the most sense since I have three planets in Scorpio (which could explain my "Scorpioness").
My Sun & Venus in Pisces really add to that flavor in a different way, which was described so well here.
After listening to this, I’m even more convinced I need to have a chart rectification done.
Being new to astrology, I am finding this a bit hard to understand. I don’t seem to fit any of the Libra traits. Born on 10.14.1959 @ 2:57pm, in New Haven, CT USA, I have my Sun in Libra, Aquarius Rising, and Pisces Moon. It feels like my entire life has been a struggle with the balance of good times versus bad to have set the scales extremely unbalanced. It seems like my life has consisted of a ton of loss, from my mom passing when I was 16, losing my home , losing most of my family at a very young age, life just seems to be a constant struggle. No matter how positive I try to remain, it seems like a mountain is always blocking my path. Is this lifetime filled with struggle do to the placement of my planets, or is this me living out some cruel life’s contract that I agreed to prior to enter earth school.? I truly feel so done at 63 years old. Am I paying back some Karmic debt from past lives. The struggle is REAL, and any insight would be appreciated. I know they say our thoughts create our life, but I do feel with the challenges I have had, somehow, this is the destiny I was given.
No, a Libra will NOT wait all night for their check to be “polite” – the moment it appears imbalanced, such as the waiter is ignoring us, we WILL call them out and tell them to get the check. Libras are not push overs. I am Libra Sun and Ascendent with Gemini Moon. We don’t want to fight but we will if we have to. Although my Venus is in Scorpio which might make me a little more volatile?
Inject this into my veins. As a Libra, I appreciated the discussion of how cold impartial fairness/justice doesn’t necessarily make you likeable
I liked the observation that both Libra and Aquarius depict technology, but I am surprise that all three of you degrade language to ‘just words’ (around 1 hour in). Language in my (moon in Gemini) opinion is an impressive system and some awesome and mighty technology… Probably the first ever… Just saying…
I’ve been a waitress for years and the libras are the most common in the field, cancers and scorpios are very common also. The job is so intense that it demands to be able to work well in team and their need for harmony at any cost brings everything together. Funny that you brought up the restaurant for the ability to read the room part, because it is totally true haha!
Libra may be viewed as Passive at times
.. i have North node in Aries and south node in Libra. life has been so interesting learning how to balance those energies. lol.
Aries Rising and Libra Sun. Lol I’m at war with myself
Soothing voices, good looking, charming smiles and music instruments on the background it is Libra
I think the correction from virgo to libra is also how virgo can be critical to other people and can go too far with it while libra might notice the mistake but will also try to find the good parts and try to be gentle and balanced in communicating the critics

Libra is the Renaissance!
Just have to say,,,, waiting for part 2….
