Lovely Libra: Portrait of My Niece

Something wonderful happened in the year 2014 - my niece was born. She has one of the most auspicious natal charts I have seen. Looking at her chart, the positive energy just leaped out at me - wrapping me with its warmth. Bearing in mind the Asian custom of not spilling the beans before its time, I shall attempt to give a brief and discreet analysis.

SUN, MOON & MERCURY in LIBRA

My niece, in short, is the poster girl for Libra. With 3 planets falling in the sign of Libra, she is physically attractive (but not the thin type - Venus is fleshy). But a typical Botticelli babe she is not, for she has a Sagittarius Ascendant, which gives strong legs, athletic limbs. Being trim and fit is a must with Sag. I am thinking a shapely, symmetrical body type - like a model. She will also be very health-conscious. Fashion and style flows effortlessly.

Look out for that sweet dimpled smile. Yes, you read that right. Dimples. The appearance of dimples on either the face or knees is a Venus trademark. Traditional astrology upholds Libra as the original "It Girl." Check out the list of famous Libran celebrities below:

Ayumi Hamasaki, J-Pop Queen

Kim Kardashian, Fashionista

Catherine-Zeta Jones, Actress

Kate Winslet, Actress

Brigitte Bardot, French Siren

Monica Bellucci, Italian Goddess

The Kano Sisters, ex-Miss Nippons

And the list goes on and on. Well-known for diplomacy and social grace, Libras make the most charming folks. They exude a very classy, elegant vibe. Beneath the soft exterior, however, is a very strong & independent streak. 

SAGITTARIUS ASCENDANT, JUPITER MIDHEAVEN

She is born on lucky Thursday, and her chart ruler is Jupiter.

This only accentuates her Sagittarian nature  - jovial, adventurous, independent. Great blessings come from universities and churches (places of worship). 

With Jupiter in 9th House, she will be very religious and involved in church activities. It is in group settings & big organizations that she shines the most. Friends seem to jump in from windows and chimneys.

Jupiter in her Midheaven signifies a career that will change the world. Whatever she does will come to the public knowledge  - one way or another.

Mars, the fiery planet, sits in her Ascendant. She will be a woman of action - very Aries-like. Always on the go, always moving, always traveling, seeking, etc.

Her life path number is 5 - love for travel, adventure, fun. Again, a very Sagi nature. Foreign culture and foreign lands. 

GRAND FIRE TRINE

Leadership abilities. Fire energy adds vitality & courage.

SCORPIO INFLUENCE

Pluto aspecting both her Sun & Moon gives off a very Scorpionic vibe. As time goes by, she will grow more and more Scorpio-like.

NEPTUNE DOMINANT

A focus on charity. Helping the poor, the unfortunate, the sick - taking care of others. Potential for social activism. Artistic talent is obvious -  love for music, literature & the fine arts.

SOUTH NODE in ARIES

Just add more fire and zest for life. The desire to be independent at all cost. 

Of Gods and Planets: Days of the Week.

One little known aspect in astrology is the rulership of planets over the days of the week. Each planet is identified with a god, and each god in return, controls a particular day of the week. There are 7 days in a week, and the day of your birth will also influence your character. I can't help noticing that different religions venerate a certain day of the week. The Muslims, for example, venerate Fridays, while the Christians worship on Sundays. The Jews treat Saturdays as their Sabbath, while the Hindus set aside Thursdays as their holy day. What is the story behind these days?

SUNDAY

Sunday is named after the Sun. The ancients considered Horus-Ra, Helios or Sol as the solar god. Romans called the Sun as "Sol Invictus", or the Invincible Sun. He is said to be the King, and presided over royalty. The Augustus emperor was depicted as wearing a crown radiating with sunlight. Sol was often compared to Jesus Christ. Early Christians borrowed some pagan customs to include Sunday as the day Christ rose from his grave and victory over darkness. Jesus is often called the "King of Kings." Coincidentally, the birthday of Sol falls on 25th December, which is also the nativity of Jesus. Today, Christians go to church on Sundays.

If you are born on Sunday, congratulations! You can rise high in society and command attention from others. You have a need to "shine" in the limelight. Cheerful and charismatic, you are the life of the party. You are blessed with outstanding leadership qualities. You do well in positions of authority. However, you do not like to share. All the glory must belong to you. Therefore, some might view you as selfish. Sunday is sacred to the zodiac Leo (one of Jesus's title is the "Lion of Judah").

Sundays are good for grand celebrations of festivals. 

MONDAY

Monday is named after the Moon. The Hindus called it "Somavara" or "Chandravara" after their moon gods Soma and Chandra. Romans believe the goddess Artemis / Diana rules the Moon, and it is an especially feminine day. Monday is associated with mothers, and the zodiac Cancer. It is an emotional day associated with mood swings and depression. Women born on Mondays are said to make good mothers and wives - homemakers. 

If you are born on Monday, you are emotional and nurturing to others. You can protect younger people and your juniors look up to you. You love food, and you spend time eating or feeding others. Thus, the tendency to be fleshy and put on weight. However, you can be moody and susceptible to depression. You react emotionally to issues. If you are a woman, extra bonus points for beauty and marriageability. Legend has it that fair women are born on Monday.

Mondays are good for family gatherings, weddings or children activities. Good day to stay at home.

TUESDAY

Tuesday is ruled by Mars, god of war. The Koreans and Japanese referred to Tuesday as "fire day" and is symbolised by the colour red. This is a day of action, combat, and victory. Historically, more military campaigns and revolutions have taken place on Tuesdays than any other day. Intensely fierce by nature, the day is associated with Aries and Scorpio. A child born on Tuesday is said to be active and full of action. He or she always has a plan of attack in any situation. They are problem-solvers and can be good generals, leading an army. Unfortunately, some cultures like the Greeks and Spanish considered Tuesday to be unlucky (due to its connection to violence). 

If you are born on Tuesday, you are a person of action. You are decisive, fast and can solve problems. You believe action speaks louder than words and dislike slow or indecisive people. You can be hot-tempered. As a fighter, you do not give up easily. You will stand and face your problems headlong, and "take the bull by the horns", so to say.  Courage is one of your strengths. You are very reliable in times of need.

Tuesdays are good for sports and intense activities. Good day to be busy!

WEDNESDAY

Wednesday is known as "Woden's Day." It refers to the Anglo-Saxon god, Woden. He is a deity of ecstasy, fury and poetry. The Germans considered him to be the leader of the Wild Hunt. Imported to Roman culture, he became identified as Mercury, god of learning and traveling. He presides over the mind and mental aptitude. Children born on Wednesday are said to be intelligent, quick-thinking but somewhat mentally unstable (due to Woden's connection to madness). Intellectual by nature, these kids are curious and have a thirst for knowledge. They will have Gemini and Virgo traits - eloquent, witty and good with words. They are articulate, but flirtatious.

If you are born on Wednesday, you have the gift of gab. Words and writings are your forte. Intelligent and cunning, you learn quickly. You will succeed in any intellectual pursuit.

Some of you enjoy traveling a lot and commercial transaction is highly favoured by Mercury.

Wednesdays are good for exams, traveling or commerce. A good day for thinking.

THURSDAY

Thursday is called "Thor's Day", after the Norse god of lightning. Romans referred to him as Jupiter, chief of the gods. He is the protector of law and morality. He is patron of governments, temples, and priests. As giver of law, he guards the sovereignty of the state and the Roman's right to rule. He is pretty much the good guy, in a fatherly kind of way. Thursday is generally considered to be an auspicious day. Muslims regard it as holy while Christians use it to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The Hindus dedicate Thurday to Lord Brihaspati (Jupiter), the guru of gods. The sign Sagittarius and Pisces is identified with Thursday.

If you are born on Thursday, you are said to be lucky. You are jovial, positive and upbeat. You are generous to others. One prominent thing that stuck out is your love for traveling and adventure.You enjoy learning foreign cultures and can be well-traveled. You do well in universities and places of worship. Since Jupiter is a law-giver, you may be religious, idealistic and uphold the law / morality. You are principled.

Thursdays are good for stately events, government functions and signing contracts.

FRIDAY

Friday belongs to Freya, Norse god of love. She is the goddess Venus or Aphrodite in Rome. She is patron of the sign Taurus and Libra. Besides sex, she also rules money and material pleasures. There is a darker aspect to Venus that is rarely discussed. She is identified as Lucifer, the morning star (a.k.a the Devil in the Bible) and is therefore considered as having demonic qualities. The Hindus regard Venus as the guru of the ashuras, or demon race. Christians regard Friday the Thirteenth as unlucky since Jesus was crucified on a Friday. However, this differs across cultures. Muslims venerate Friday as a holy day of worship and prayers. 

If you are born on Friday, you are sexy. You are loving to others, and there is an unmistakably sensual side to you. Graceful and attractive, you tend to enjoy the material pleasures of life. Sex tends be very important to you, as is money. You appreciate fine beauty and luxury in life. You indulge in food, sleep, beauty rituals, massages or simply pampering your senses. There is an artistic side to you, and you make a talented musician, poet or artist. The cosmetics / beauty industry are highly favorable professions. 

Fridays are great for weddings, artistic or pleasure activities. Good day to relax. 

SATURDAY

Saturday belongs to Saturn, also known as Satan. He is Lord of Karma, in charge of meting out justice and karmic punishment (if you incur bad karma). The Romans regard Saturn as the deity of time, who controls the passage of time. Thus he is depicted as a wise old man. He teaches you a lesson in life by giving you obstacles, trials and tribulations. He is one tough badass demon overlord, but you gotta love him! Without Saturn, you will never grow wiser. Without Saturn, you will never learn to take responsibilities. Saturn is seriousness, maturity and hard work. He rules the sign Capricorn and Aquarius. The Jews venerate Saturday as their holy day of rest.

If you are born on Saturday, you are a mature and serious kid. You are wise beyond your age. You take on lots of responsibilities since young, and thus is a very reliable person.

Sex According to Libra

LIBRA, THE SCALES (September 23-October 23)

Ruler: Venus

Element: Air

Character: Diplomatic, Charming, Vain, Flirtatious, Sociable, Indecisive.  

Energy: Medium

Libido: Medium

Sex style: Libra has a reputation for being a naughty tease, being the most flirtatious sign in the world. As a tease, they enjoy seducing the opposite sex and getting people hot and aroused for no particular reason other than to feel good about themselves. Seduction is a game they play well. As a result, some Libra women may be accused of being bitchy, yet this sign is generally kind-hearted and affectionate in nature. Libras desperately want to be loved. They have a weakness for pleasing others. So they may end up doing lots of sexual favours or being taken advantage of by more aggressive characters. In bed, the gentle Libra is very considerate and tries to please their lovers the best they could. Mutual pleasure is key to their lovemaking style and they won’t feel happy unless their partners are also enjoying it.  The sixty-nine position is said to be synonymous with Libra but this is just a myth. Any kinky cockteasing methods will work just as well. The Libra woman is most likely to do acts like sucking their ice-cream or licking the spoon slowly to tease the opposite sex, or wearing transparent blouse with no underwear. Libra men tend to have a sweet, charming quality to his appearance and behavior which is attractive to most ladies.

Sex fantasy: Masochism, cockteasing, cockteasing and more cockteasing.

Romance: Although flirting is a way to socialize for Libra, deep down inside, they are a hopeless romantic. They have idealistic dreams of how their relationship should be. They are in the quest for the ideal lover, which may explain some of their irrational behavior. Some Libra women are addicted to the seduction game, and will play off one suitor against another without settling for any particular guy because they like to keep their options open. They are also indecisive, and tend to procrastinate choosing a lover. This indecisiveness can be mistaken for meanness but in reality, Libra is just afraid of offending anyone. They want to be fair to everybody so they flirt. Owing to their natural beauty, Libras can become quite vain. In fact, they are the most beauty-conscious sign of all, constantly checking their looks in the mirror, adjusting their skirts and collars, applying lipsticks and all. Tasteful, charming conversations are also a specialty of Libra and they can be experts in ballroom chats. An evening of wining, dining, dancing and tasteful conversations sounds like an ideal date for Libra. The women make excellent hostesses in a social setting.

Marriage: They are better off married to a more aggressive spouse who will make the decisions. Libras tend to attract strong, domineering partners and as such, may end up being dominated after marriage.  Unlike Leos who worship their lovers, Libras are the exact opposite in that they worship their spouses. For a Libra woman, her husband is the most important thing in the world, and she will bend over just to keep him happy. Libras can put up with batshit crazy abuse from the spouse just to maintain harmony in the house and preserve peace. For example, the wife of a Libra man can beat him black and blue every night and he will hesitate to fight back because he loves her. Children, while important, are not such a big thing with Libra, for their focus is always on their spouse. The happiness of wifey / hubby means everything to them.
