True balance can only be achieved for a split second
Selling the Libra Logic
"I'm a socialist, but not a humanist"
—Laura, double Libra
The Search For Perfection
Libras are selling their lifestyle—they are also studying ours, and judging, always judging! Like mad scientists with clipboards, they piece together an agenda, based on their observations. They choose the narrative, like a sharp lawyer, would, showing the best side of the client's situation. Libras can be as glamorous as a Hollywood facade, or have an impressive batch of letters after their names, the Libra lifestyle is made up of bits and pieces of philosophy, science, art, ideology and erotica, a sensual and delicate balance of everything the Libra mind collects.
Being the only machine in the Zodiac, the Libra numbers are always crunching, the wheels always turning. The purpose, the product of the machine is balance. The scales may swing one way and the other, but the Libra will always seek balance, even if he or she has to risk everything.
Once finding balance, the Libra mind becomes the standard by which they judge others. The beauty, the correctness, the security, the accomplishment of balance is what turns a Libra on. Balance, however, is a fleeing and elusive utopia. Every flex of the dialectic can swing a Libra one way or another. Libras are hardly set in their ways, but can and will change their minds in a flash, like the feather that tips the scales to one side.

The Clinician of the Relationship
What Libra is doing is studying us. Why? Because that's their interest in life, interacting with us. To a Libra, nothing is more important than relationships. Libra collects things, things of beauty, special things, and relationships fall into this category. Libra has beautiful relationships with people. Libra brings harmony and justice. A fair witness who can see the arguments for both sides. This is Libra's connection and service to society. They are seventh-house people, looking for the counterbalance, the counter stroke, the backbeat.
Since all connections are funneled through this complex lens, Libra has but one way to make their position defensible. Libra must learn to dominate others by his opinions of them. To do that, they use what works on them, positive reinforcement, or flattery! The famous irresistible charm of Libra Love is employed; we are all attracted to it; to a Libra, love is sublime and their smiles and approval is like money in the bank.
Libra Factoid:
They can see your idea—but only to sell your theirs.
Libra Love: TWO of everything
We are not the only ones in their lives, but they balance the world around them so well that we can hardly fault the pimp in them. If people give freely, why not? It is more of what they want: human interaction. When it comes to relationships, Libra solicits them, engages them, studies them, compares them, triages them, a cascade of revolving doors. Libra is basically is running a personal sex clinic of people he or she finds either important, beautiful and/or interesting. You might become their latest experiment.
The Libra Book Of Love
The Libra will read you like a book; he or she uses the same methods of selective truths as a reality show: results count. It's easy to accuse Libra of not having feelings, but that would be false because WE put the emotions in play. We LOVE our cars, computers, phones; we provide the emotional connection to these machines; the machine merely complies with us. This is why Libra may love the relationship more the the actual partner—they fall for the love of love itself. The entity that the two of you create is like the emotional script. It's in the Libra Book of Life and Love.
The Unwritten Libra Code
If all emotions could be controlled, that would be perfection. As inhuman as this sounds, this is the ideal of the pristine laboratory where the Libra creates feelings. Raw, uncontrolled emotions wreck the results, and when Libra is hit by them, broadsides to the brain, as it were, it can be as painful for them as it is for the rest of us. But they don't have a lot of remorse, that would be inefficient. Although Libra anger is just as measured as Libra love, one must always be in balance. As essential as a language, all parties must participate in this intricate exchange of forces, and in a Zen moment of equality of all things will be in harmony. Libra must equalize the same way a pilot has to use airspeed to maneuver.
Secret Agent Libra
Whether secret agent or insurance agent, Libra is always representing an idea, agency or POV. They willingly subordinate their judgments for those of their sponsor; they become a font of the organization, cartel or cabal they become a part of. Libra's own life is as inscrutable as James Bond's. They serve only one master, and you won't find out who that is until Libra has won you over on the basis of their charm and personality.
The Libra Referee
Their opinions count. Their POV about us is the reference standard of our own self-image. It's hard to refute the Libra's judgment. They come to it as the result of impartiality and some consideration—They balance the evidence, we suffer the result. Libras are the ones we instinctively go to for judgment, if not redemption. We trust them for their opinions, because we suspect that they have no feelings to interfere with the call. We trust them to even call it quits in our relationships. It's just as likely that almost ALL the other signs have been dumped or ignored by a Libra at least once in their life, and yet, are ever ready to try to please Libra again, whenever Libra calls. Libra doesn't ever want to trash a relationship, but will let go in an instant if anyone falls far from the Libra Code of behavior.
Tough Sell
The way to a Libra is through the brain. This is akin to conning the con man. The answer might be purely hyperbolic, just as a ruse to manipulate you and your skittish emotions. The Libra, you see, isn't emotional to a very deep level, simply because Libra is always trying to restore emotional balance, not throw it into a tailspin. Libras are computer-like, they compute that they have hurt you, and then find the fix on winkled. Others, however do pure research. Libra breaks the imperative and wades right into the objective world, bringing their subjective theories with them.
What are these theories? About everything, Libra likes answers. The more the better. Sifting through multiple choices can be a disaster for Libra, unless they enjoy the challenge of re-examining the data.
Care-Charmer Sleep, Brother to Death
challenges come and go, but Libras will miss a lot of opportunities because they sleep through them. It's not unfair to say that Libras do sleep to death. They can sleep like the dead, and so long that you may think they are dead. But this is the point of pure neutrality for them, this is the time to let Libra sniff the heady orders of the subconscious mind. Right across the barricade lies the vast pool of untapped emotions of which we animals are capable. For Libra just to step across the line sometimes has major consequences, and, is anyway very meaningful. As much as the Libra likes to think of itself as a clever guru and controller of others, they can fall for, and become spokespeople for, any and every scam, hard luck story, racist parable, and pack of lies.
