The diplomat of the Zodiacs - Libra! A cosmic peace maker, with an ever ending want for balance. This Air Sign, ruled by Venus, would like nothing more than a world that is balanced, fair, full of beautiful aesthetics, and harmony. With wanting such balance, comes the struggle that Libra’s are often associated with, an inability to make decisions because they see too much of “both sides.” In this exploration, we'll dive into the nuanced spectrum of Libran traits, unraveling both their evolved strengths and their less stellar tendencies. Whether you’re a Libra yourself or just fascinated by these charming scales, get ready for a journey through the celestial highs and lows of this sign.
The “big 6” in Astrology refers to one’s Ascendant, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars, or Venus placement.
Being evolved means that one is more grounded and "mature" in a certain area of life. While being unevolved means that one may be out of balance or have more growth to do in a certain area of life.
Ascendant
The Ascendant (also referred to as one’s rising sign) is determined by the exact time that you were born. As this does change about every two hours, it’s important to have the correct, exact time! The time itself can help determine the degree of your Ascendant sign. The Ascendant is represented in your Astrology chart in your 1st House! The House of Self.
Evolved
An evolved Libra Ascendant has a natural first instinct to bring harmony and balance in everything that they do. There’s an effortless energy of grace and harmony with this placement. This sign possesses the rare ability to be able to see the perspective of each situation from everyone’s side. This leads to their ability to bring peace and balance to situations that they chose to have their hand in. However, the charm that they have is not a facade, they genuinely would like to bring everyone together. Their love for beauty and aesthetics also comes from a place of wanting a beautiful environment.
Unevolved
On the other hand, when unevolved, a Libra Ascendant can struggle with extreme indecision and their care for others can turn into people pleasing. In this sign's journey to have balance in their life, they may begin to lead into more superficials aspects of life. Such as, overly caring about their appearance, the status of their social group, and could lead them to miss out on genuine connections. While they still come off as charming, there could be a struggle with using this charm to manipulate situations in a way that favors themselves.
Sun
The Sun in Astrology is seen as the center of everything, just as it is seen in our solar system! It represents your inner self, and can define aspirations and what you want from life. It can also be used to focus on the source of your vitality! Your Sun sign is determined by the day that you were born.
Evolved
An evolved Libra Sun has a natural way of shining fairness and grace in their life and daily interactions. They do great at putting effort into bringing balance into their relationships and do good at handling conflict in a poised, seamless manner. Libra Sun’s have a great taste in art, their personal style, design, and making an aesthetically pleasing space around them. These souls are genuinely empathetic and value cooperation, balanced communication, and diplomacy. When it comes to connecting with others, they’re very thoughtful in their approach to showing care.
Unevolved
However, the opposite of an evolved Libra Sun is a soul who is superficial, and preoccupied with maintaining a certain appearance. Their deep, soul need for balance could cause them to get into conversations or arguments that aren’t necessary. Or on the flip side, their need for balance could make them “sweep things under the rug” to avoid the confrontation. In efforts to please those around them, they may give up their “authentic self” to blend in with others. And this is where Libra’s stereotype can come in, their indecisiveness. When a Libra Sun isn’t evolved, it can become difficult for them to commit to having an opinion or knowing what they want to do.
Moon
The Moon in Astrology is what can show us where we are more emotional and where our needs are. It can also provide one with what their emotional wants and powers are. Knowing this can provide more insight into ways to strengthen ourselves emotionally and know what to be mindful of for improvement!

Unevolved
In contrast, an unevolved Libra Moon may struggle with indecision and a tendency to avoid conflict at all costs. This avoidance happens to continue to try to keep the peace.

This soul might become overly dependent on relationships for validation, as they could feel lost without a partner. They may also exhibit superficiality, resulting in them focusing more on appearances than genuine connections.
