Know Your Signs - Libra

                                                      In Vedic Astrology, Libra is considered as the seventh zodiac signs among the twelve zodiac signs which are considered for astrological calculations according to Vedic Astrology. The last two padas of Chitra Nakshatra, all four padas of Swati Nakshatra and the first three padas of Vishakha Nakshatra are ruled by this sign called Libra. Libra is an important sign and should be given proper attention while studying a horoscope as this sign is ruled by Venus which is general signifier for Marriage, Married life and Love life of a person.

                                                    Libra is an airy sign ruled by Venus and Saturn gets exalted in this sign which means that out of all the twelve zodiac signs, Saturn is considered as the strongest when placed in this sign. The placement of a positive and clean Saturn in this sign in a horoscope can bless the native with many kinds of materialistic successes and pleasures depending upon the other factors of his horoscope. And whereas Saturn gains extra strength by virtue of its placement in Libra, the Sun which is the source of energy and life for all living beings, gets debilitated in this sign which means that out of all the twelve zodiac signs, the Sun is considered as the weakest when placed in this sign called Libra. The weakness of the Sun by placement in this sign in a horoscope can make the native suffer from lack of decision making power, weak immunity and some other problems depending upon the other important factors of his horoscope.

                                                     Placement of some strong positive planets like Saturn and Venus in Libra in a horoscope can bless the native with good to extreme materialistic pleasures and great earthly successes depending upon the rest of the horoscope. A good positive Venus placed in Libra generally makes the native beautiful and attractive and the people from the opposite gender get attracted to such natives. A combination of positive Saturn and Venus in this sign in a horoscope can do wonders for the native and can bless him with name, fame, luxuries and many more such things depending upon the other factors of his horoscope.

                                                        On the other hand, weakness of Libra in a horoscope by virtue of placement of negative planets in it or by aspect of negative planets can cause serious concerns for the native. Libra represents the sexual organs, some part of the large intestine, urine bladder and some other organs in the same region in the human body. A strong Libra and Venus in a horoscope generally indicate good working of sexual organs whereas serious weakness to this sign by afflictions from negative planets can make the native suffer from Venereal disease, Urinal Infections and other such problems related to the parts and organs of the body ruled by Libra. Apart from these diseases, the sexual life, married life and the love life of the native can also get disturbed if this sign is afflicted by some specific negative planets in a horoscope.
