Reflective judgement is a keynote for you: various alternatives are weighed in the balance, and the most appropriate mode of being or acting is selected. However, the capacity to see another person’s point of view as well as ability to look at any situation from all sides has to be seen to be believed. Hence the vacillation, the indecisiveness, and the “sitting on the fence” reputation. Libra rising also means striking a balance between the ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ sides of life, between mystical urges and practical notions, between ‘head’ and ‘heart’, intuition and logic, and most of all between what we want and need, and what others want and need. Libra rising searches for that perfect relationship, the ideal philosophy and for that which is harmonious and pleasing.

You are tactful, charming, a perfectionist, idealistic and considerate, and you need to establish balance and harmony in all interactions. You need far more than just any old job: emotional involvement with your career is vital and you like work that gives you plenty of contact with people. The hotel trade or restaurant business would suit you, and you would organize a holiday camp or a cruise admirably. PR would attract you, as would it’s ultimate expression – the diplomatic corps. The need for a good, rewarding and permanent relationship is important, and achieving this becomes an important part of Libra’s psychological motivation. But the need to express affection in an outward and immediate way is less in evidence. There is a natural kindness and sympathy when Libra rises, but this does not necessarily weaken you.
