You have a strong sense of reflective judgement: you carefully weigh various alternatives and choose the most suitable way of being or acting. However, your remarkable ability to see other people’s perspectives and to examine any situation from all angles can also be a drawback. You may struggle with vacillation, indecisiveness, and a reputation for “sitting on the fence”. Libra rising also means finding a balance between the ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ aspects of life, between mystical impulses and practical ideas, between ‘head’ and ‘heart’, intuition and logic, and most importantly between your own wants and needs and those of others. Libra rising seeks the perfect relationship, the ideal philosophy, and the harmonious and pleasing things in life.

You have a tactful, charming, perfectionist, idealistic and considerate personality, and you strive for balance and harmony in all your interactions. You are not satisfied with just any job: you need to be emotionally invested in your career and you enjoy work that involves a lot of social contact. You would excel in the hospitality or catering industry, and you would be a great organizer of holiday camps or cruises. You would also be drawn to PR, or even its ultimate expression – the diplomatic corps. You value a good, rewarding and lasting relationship, and this becomes a key part of your psychological motivation as a Libra. However, you are not as expressive or immediate in showing your affection as some other signs. You have a natural kindness and sympathy when Libra rises, but this does not make you weak.
