Libra expresses a yearning for harmony, esthetics and beauty alongside the aspiration for justice, perspective, objectivity, peace and cooperation.
Regarding the link with beauty, note Libras Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot. Both of them are from France, where something undoubtedly attracts the Venusian energy of Libra. Another famous Libra is Marcello Mastroianni, who appears in the famous scene in Fellini’s La Dolce Vita in which the late Italian actor embraces another beautiful Libra, Anita Ekberg, in a fountain.
The sign also contains much politics. Benjamin Netanyahu, who is a Libra, suffers from the problems associated with Libras. During his two years as prime minister he refrained from making any major decisions regarding the peace process. Netanyahu also suffered from problems linked to relationships and justice – as demonstrated by the Bar-On and Deri affairs. Thus, the typical Libra categories – peace, marriage, justice and law – play an especially important role in his life in which they make it more difficult.
On the other hand, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is a Libra helped by the sign’s characteristics. It was Carter who imposed the peace agreement between Israel and Egypt at Camp David. In interviews he almost always mentions his love for his wife and the importance of the relationship in his life. During his time as president he even urged every unmarried member of the White House staff to get married quickly.
