What is a Libra really like?
Libra, the scales: forever balancing what is fair with what is kind. The machine's library weighs Libra heaviest on diplomatic, social and indecisive. It is an air sign, and a starter sign: you begin things. The Sun is in Libra from September 22, 23 or 24 to October 22 or 23.
The Math
Calculated facts only, worked out the same way the machine does it.
- Sun in Libra: from September 22, 23 or 24 to October 22 or 23. The exact day changes with the year; the machine works it out for your birth date (calculated 1950–2030).
- Cusp days: birthdays from September 21 to 24 (the Virgo side) and from October 22 to 24 (the Scorpio side) have fallen on the cusp in some years. Without a birth time, the machine names both signs on those days.
- Element: air. Modality: cardinal. Sign 7 of 12.
- Wheel geometry: same element (most compatible): Gemini and Aquarius. Friendly sextile (great match): Leo and Sagittarius. Opposite (the magnetic one): Aries. Square (least compatible): Cancer and Capricorn.
