Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius


Libra

Symbol: The Scales/Balance

Polarity: Masculine/Assertive

Quadriplicity (Quality): Cardinal

Triplicity (Element): Air

Planetary Ruler: Venus

House Rulership: The Seventh House

Part of the Body: Libra rules the back and kidneys.

Keyphrase: I Balance

You will need and crave balance in the area of life where Libra sits. Where it is placed or the planets and aspects involved can tell you how this is to be attained. This will also show where you have the skills of diplomacy, peacekeeping, and an understanding of human motivation. You will enjoy, and sometimes need, other people to share this area of your life, as it shows a place where you will want others for feedback. This is an area of life that you will almost undoubtedly find romantic, or you may search for a glimmer of romance in it. Social skills, beauty, grace, and need for human partners are most often found within the house containing the symbol of Libra.

A rough lesson to learn surrounding Libra is the need to have others around you and relationships. You can find yourself in the middle of a situation; and while trying to find a balance you could easily lose your conviction in the process. This may sometimes occur when getting in the middle of an argument between two or more persons. In an effort to see both sides and agree with everyone for the sake of keeping the peace, you can fall into the trap of seeming two-faced or guilty of playing both sides. You also need to be careful of people who might take advantage of you. In your effort to take people at face value and see the best in them, you can be taken for an elaborate ride by unsavory folks who will try to take advantage of your good will in this area of your life.


Scorpio

Symbol: The Serpent/Scorpion, the Eagle, and the Phoenix

Polarity: Feminine/Receptive

Quadriplicity (Quality): Fixed

Triplicity (Element): Water

Planetary Ruler: Pluto (Mars was Scorpio's ancient ruler before the discovery of Pluto)

House Rulership: The Eighth House

Part of the Body: Scorpio rules the genitals.

Keyphrase: I DESIRE

Scorpio is undoubtedly the most complex of all the signs. Scorpio often gets a bad reputation, and it is usually undeserving of this. The first expression of Scorpio, which is the lower side symbolized by the serpent or scorpion, can be possessive, jealous, unrelenting, and vengeful. While extraordinarily passionate and intense about everything from sensuality to spirituality, this side of Scorpio has a very hard time letting go of something it is passionate about. The symbolism of the scorpion also represents death. Scorpio rules death, though not necessarily in the physical sense. While this is the part of Scorpio we hear the most about, it is only one part of a bigger picture. It is symbolic of an ending before a new beginning.
