Libra (Sept 23- Oct 22), The Scales
Has someone ever asked you, “What’s
your sign?”. Well, what they are asking
for is your Sun sign; it’s the sign that correlates to when you were born. The zodiac Sun sign, although not the only
astrological sign, is the most common and widely referred since it descriptions
your personality, your inner self. Learning about your Sun sign is an
entertaining way to discover who you are. After all, haven’t you asked yourself “Who am
I”? I have many times. This curiosity prompted me to learn about astrology and
how the planets alignment at the time of my birth produced, to some extent, a
personality diagram or map thereby, shedding
some light on the subject- me. I learned in my studies that essential oils have
personalities and energy and astrology helps pinpoint personality aspects,
whether they are good, bad or indifferent.
So combining the two modalities was an innovative way to learn about
myself. In addition to essential oils I
use Flower Essences. Even though flower
essences work energetically there is no scent. I personally use flower essences
for myself and find great results. But in this article I will only cover
essential oils.
When smelling essential oils, the
aroma hits the limbic system part of the brain, known for triggering emotions,
reactions, responses and memory recall. This will bring subtle changes in mood,
emotions and energy. With that said, it’s a good idea to mention there may be
times when you do not like a certain scent.
Be open and try the essential oil another time, you might be surprised
to find you like it. I believe your
body, mind and spirit knows what it needs and when, so trust in the process for
we are always evolving.
There are many essential oils I
can write about in relation to the Libra Sun sign but here some I like most. Keeping
this in mind, let’s begin.
Libra falls between Sept 22,23 and
Oct21, 22, although you may see varying dates, since the Sun moves at a slightly
different speed year to year so a sign may start or end on a different day then
it did in a prior. However, it is usually no more than a day difference. If you’re birthday falls on a cusp (the day
the Sun moves into another sign) you will most likely have personality traits
of both Sun signs.
Balance, balance, balance….is
what a Libra needs, no wonder the symbol for Libra is The Scales! A Cardinal
Element with an Air quality means the Libras are doers, and initiators who take
action and enjoy their freedom. Many
times, a Libra person is often attractive, poised, idealistic, charming, fair-minded,
diplomatic and a peacemaker. Lavender (Lavandula
angustifolia) is well known for its peaceful calming affects assisting with
patience and balance. Always striving for the best future Libras need to
remember to take a breath and live in the moment. Lavender encourages comfort,
security and acceptance.
Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica) is one of my favorite essential oils for
grounding, balance and confidence. It inspires
steadiness for the see-saw Libra. The
aromatic scent brings compassion when the Libra can be a little disconnected
emotionally being the diplomatic type. Cedarwood is also wonderful to ease any
fears or insecurities. Even though freedom is important to a Libra they fear
being alone. Libras are also a tower of
strength for many which mimics the Cedarwood quality.
Libra is ruled by the love planet
of Venus. Libras make romantic partners and are very social. In astrology Venus is about love, self worth,
and values. Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) is often associated with the Planet Venus
and the Heart (4th) Chakra. The aroma promotes centering and tranquil
properties helping with moodiness, indecision and confusion. The Geranium personality desires harmony and
security, and is often friendly and comforting to those around them just as a Libra.
Indecisiveness is a drawback for the Libran, hence the Scales. Regularly weighing
situation, flopping from one side to the other or always being “on the fence” Libras are a source of frustration in others due
to their vacillation. But on the other
hand Libras have clear opinions and solid beliefs, wherein they may become
overbearing and very calculating but quite often in a playful good natured sort
of way. Once they make up their mind, its full steam ahead with blinders on. Libras make good counselors, advisors,
attorneys, promoters, and business partners. A fun fact: Mahatma Gandhi was a
Libra.
