Libra personality

Libra begins at the autumn equinox, 180° of solar longitude. Perhaps because it starts on the day night and day are equal, you weigh both sides like a scale. The West calls it an air sign; in BaZi terms it is the Dragon branch, earth that stores water. You connect people gently and love what is beautiful and fair.

Libra in love

Kind and considerate, you set a lovely mood. You avoid conflict and so say what you really think late; asking for what you want first will not break anything.

Libra at work

Design, law, mediation, PR and service work suit you: jobs that handle both people and taste.

What Libra should watch

Putting off decisions can cost you chances. The Dragon branch stores many kinds of energy, so you overthink easily; set a deadline, then choose.

Libra: Day Pillars sitting on 辰 (Dragon) (5)

The day branch is the same branch this sign is paired with, so both traditions point to the same animal.

Libra: Day Pillars in the same Three Harmony (10)

The day branch belongs to the same Three Harmony as Libra: Water frame 申子辰 (Monkey, Rat, Dragon). They face the same direction.

Libra: Day Pillars in Six Harmony (5)

The day branch forms a Six Harmony with 辰. Each fills in what the other lacks.

Libra: Day Pillars in Clash (5)

The day branch clashes with 辰, sitting directly opposite it. Outer style and inner pace pull in different directions.

Find my sign and Day Pillar

Your sign is set by the 30° stretch of ecliptic longitude the Sun was crossing at your birth. The cusps (the mid-month solar terms such as the spring equinox) shift by about a day from year to year, so if you were born on a cusp day, add your birth time too. The sign-to-branch pairing follows the names in the traditional Chinese table of twelve stations, whose boundaries sit about 15° off the Western signs. Read it for fun.
