What does it mean to have Libra in the 1st house? Libra Zodiac Sign gives the ‘flavor’, the ‘how’ to the 1st house. You can use Libra as an adjective and it shows the house as ‘how’ the associated subjects of life are happening. If a planet is there it shows ‘what’ is happening.
Regardless of which house calculation system you use, if you have Libra on the 1st house cusp you are a Libra Ascendant.
Libra Ascendant/ Libra on the 1st house cusp
Libra is a cardinal air sign.
The element of the Libra Zodiac sign is air. Air means intellect, being social, and human relationships, therefore it is associated with communication, skills, knowledge, and interacting with others. Air signs feel in their element when around people when talking, negotiating, discuss topics.
The modality of Libra is cardinal. Cardinal means significant changes and new beginnings that have a domino effect on other subjects of life.
Venus-ruled, but different than Taurus
Every air sign is a male sign, and so is Libra. And the male signs are associated with more male/masculine energy such as being initiative, go-getter, doer, and being active. However, Libra is Venus-ruled and it gives a subtle feminine touch to Libras.
Venus’s main domains are relationships, beauty, beautifying anything, money- cash flow, art, jewelry, food, peace, harmony, pleasures, and pleasing the five senses. Basically, these are Libra and Taurus domains.
However, the sign Libra is different than Taurus in many ways. Libra is an extrovert, male, cardinal, and an air sign. It aims to add a harmonious touch to everything: such as relationships, any object- artistic creatures, and to introduce balance to all sorts of situations and relationships. That is why Libra’s main domains are negotiating and finding solutions that are convenient to both sides and to compromise in a balanced way.
Venus-ruled people – who have Ascendant, Sun, or Moon in Libra or Taurus- are different, though.
The typical Taurus look is a natural, earthly look, with no makeup look, with full lips and curves, while wearing comfortable, good-quality clothes. Here you can read more about Taurus.
The typical Libra look is a refined, elegant look with elegant makeup, with color coordinated harmonious clothes, and matching accessories, and wearing nothing extravagant.
Those who were born under those signs can have such a beautiful look, especially if Venus is well-placed in their birth chart.
In a similar vein, both Libra and Taurus people need to look good, to take good care of their appearance and their clothes. If Libra neglects their look and doesn’t take good care of themselves, it’s a sign that they are out of balance. An out-of-balance Libra is a sad Libra… however, when a Libra has the perfect refined look, nice makeup, matching-harmonious, color-coordinated look, clothes, beauty treatments, and harmonious and peaceful relationships that make the Libra very happy.
Taurus is an earth sign, while Libra is an air sign.
To understand better the difference between Taurus and Libra, just think about their main domains.
Libra is the architecture. Libra creates beauty with mind, intellect, skills, and consciousness. Such as Libra makes a nice painting, buildings, makeup, jewelry, well-designed clothes, etc. For these, you need to use your mind, intellect, certain skills, and a certain consciousness to create something classically beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Again, the air element is mind, intellect, skills, and knowledge.
Taurus is a mother earth, nature, the natural beauty. Taurus is all about pleasing the five senses and lushness. For instance when you walk into a forest, you can smell the trees, the flowers. You feel the breeze on your skin, you can hear the birds. Basically, you can enjoy the natural beauty as it is. Untouched. The beauty that Taurus creates is what you want to touch and sense/feel with your senses while the beauty Libra creates you understand with the mind, like a painting or a designer bag.
I hope it makes sense to you.
We need both signs, both Libra and Taurus. Both make the world a more beautiful and pleasant place but in a different way.
Making decisions
One of the main misconceptions about Libra is that they are not good decision-makers. This is absolutely false. They are quite good at making decisions; it just takes them a longer time to make up their mind.
Similarly, as Gemini people, they see both sides of the coin or even more sides.
The symbol of Libra is Lady Justice or Justitia, the Roman goddess of justice. Libra people know- as Justitia knows that there is no such thing as only one truth…
However, when it comes to making decisions, the kryptonite of Libra people is that they are prone to be people pleasers. This is because the motivation behind their decisions can be to please others.
Libras need to learn that it’s ok not to please everyone and not to be a people pleaser because it is impossible to please everyone. Rather find solutions and make decisions that are convenient for both sides, or for everyone and everyone equally compromises.
Libra and relationships
The other main domain of Libra is the one-on-one relationships, marriage, and business partnerships. The other air signs Gemini rules the close social environment, and people you meet daily. Or in this day and age, you text and call daily. And Aquarius rules the larger audience, the like-minded people, and your chosen friends.
Libra rules marriage, one-on-one relationships, all sorts of contractual relationships, and committed relationships. The reason is Libra feels balanced when connecting one-on-one with another person.
What Libra people are good at is not only compromising but also balancing out and harmonizing relationships and situations. And that is a mature approach towards relationships- both romantic and professional relationships.
Saturn is exalted in Libra.
Being fair in relationships, being willing to compromise, and negotiating instead of arguing, and fighting are all mature approaches toward relationships that Saturn appreciates. And Saturn makes the agreements and relationships long-lasting and stable.
Also, Libra rules balance and being fair. Therefore, Saturn is exalted in Libra because of that sign. Because what you give is what you get. That is balanced and fair. What you do to others, will others do to you.
Venus and Saturn and friends, mind you. If they have an aspect, they can “work together” and give fantastic results once Saturn matures.
The Sun, however, is in fall in Libra because it is exalted in Aries. Meaning, the Sun is the weakest in Libra. Sun is all about individuality, being a leader, ego, and self-confidence. And Libra is all about partnerships, and that is the reason many Libra people have issues with self-confidence.
Connect to that energy if you want better relationships
Even if you are not a Libra and have no planets there you can make more harmony, peace in your relationships, and fairness, or you want to be more diplomatic; you can connect to the energy of Libra. The more you connect to its energy, the more those subjects of life improve under Libra’s domain.
How to connect to this energy? Wear the Libra colors. Pastel colors and green, and have decorations around you in pairs. Be with people who have strong Libra energy in their charts, or read and learn more about the Libra Zodiac Sign itself.
Occupations of Libra
Fashion, all sorts of jobs in the beauty industry, lawyers, judges, solicitors, negotiators, mediators, designers, models, manufacturing clothes, brokers, dealmakers, traders, and merchants.
Is it the most peaceful sign?
Libra is said to be the most peaceful sign and it rules peace. Well, if you look at dictators and world leaders charts you will see that many of them were Libra Ascendant and had nothing to do with peace.
Such as Adolf Hitler was a Libra Ascendant, Joseph Stalin had a Libra Moon, and the current Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban is a Libra Ascendant and is all about stirring up drama with the EU- he has nothing to do with peace. Or the current Russian president is a Libra Sun, also nothing to do with peace, so to speak…
The truth is, the 9th house from Libra is Gemini and the 9th house rules morals, having a good moral compass. And Gemini-ruler of the 9th house for Libra people is all about experimenting, having no emotions, and explaining everything. Well, to be such a world leader one needs a very specific natal chart, but you can’t ignore the fact that these leaders have strong Libra in their charts…
The body organs and body parts of Libra
The body organs ruled by Libra are the kidneys, outer genitalia, urinary tract, and ears. Libra people have well-balanced and proportionate body features and look. Nothing is too big or too small on them, their whole body is proportionate and most often beautiful.
The 1st and the 8th houses are connected through their ruling planet Venus.
The body, the path of life,-1st house- is directly connected to the 8th house topics such as transformation, partners’ finances, and life-alerting events.
That is why Libra people experience significant transformation not only in their lives but also in their appearance– as Venus rules the appearance. Their personality and psyche go through a transformation at least once in their life. They can become unrecognizable, especially their appearance.
The 1st house is what the native identifies with. Libra identifies with transformation, joint finances, inheritance, intimacy, and bonding- Libra is the sign of one-on-one relationships and marriage, mind you.
As Venus provides easy access to whatever it touches, Libra people have easy access to those 8th-house subjects. Such as therapeutical healing, transformation, mutual finances, etc.
The 8th house rules forbidden topics, occult topics, astrology, mysticism, psychology, and Libra people at one point in their lives are interested in them.
Without Libra People
Without Libra people, the world would be nowhere near as beautiful, pleasant and peaceful. Also, without Libra people, there wouldn’t be negotiations, agreements, fairness, one-on-one relationships, beautifully designed buildings, clothes, cars, and homes. Without Libra there won’t be contractual relationships, compromises, balance and harmony in the world.
