Lesbian Libra Astrology Profile

The Lesbian Libra: Who wouldn't want to be you?

Dear Libra - Do you feel pretty? Oh so pretty? Pretty and witty and... well, of course you do. Who could resist your manifold charms? Libras are known for their cherubic beauty and calming voices. The curve of your full lips leads to a perfectly dimpled cheek. And on your face as well. Are you not the pretty type, Libra? I didn't mean to hurt your tender, boyish feelings; still, you're more likely to be tomboy femme than hard butch. No matter how you identify, your looks benefit from Venus's heavenly, persuasive influence. Maybe that's why you're as changeable as the weather and absolutely faithless. Your expression tends to stay bland, pleasant and pretty, even when your sharp mind is racing underneath. There's not many who can survive your stealth attack. Left to your own devices, you'll conquer more territory than the sisterhood of the traveling pants.

Is that unfair? Of course it is. There's no way you can help being so terribly popular. Other signs (I'm looking at you, Capricorn) will just have to get used to it. There's simply not enough hours in the day to get in touch with all the people who adore you, so you have to pace yourself. Libras might be made of tougher stuff than their sweet faces conceal, but they aren't known for their stamina. For instance, if you were to go out with a group of friends and dance the night away to musical stylings of Lesbians on Ecstasy, you might enjoy yourself; but you would be extremely cranky in the morning. This would lead you to make all sorts of demands of your devoted subjects... ahem, I mean friends. If you're not careful, Libra, your antics are likely to come off more Queen of Hearts than Queen of Sheba. And as we all know, the Queen of Hearts had awful frown lines.

I'm not saying you're frequently guilty of being a diva; if anything, you strive too hard for balance. Others might rely on their gut or intuition to guide them through a problem, or to a mate, but Libra will rely on the facts and just the facts, ma'am. That's what the Libra's scales are all about. The problem is if you spend all day trying to balance them, you might not have time for anything else. Not to mention, you'll annoy your friends to death. Should you go out tonight or get caught up on work? Which partner deserves your loyalty after a romantic split? Chicken or fish? Lisa or Beth? These questions occupy your waking hours. God forbid you ever have to diffuse a bomb. You'd let the thing explode before you could decide whether to cut the red wire or the blue.

You do best when you pace yourself, get plenty of beauty rest, and keep your work and social lives humming along in pleasant harmony. Pay attention to your diet; if you're feeling stressed, you might be too quick to fall into the comforting arms of a hot fudge sunday. Sex is another tempting escape. You're also not immune to the pleasures of a sweet cocktail or five. Watch out for that -- Libras who overindulge end up with splitting headaches, not to mention long-term kidney ailments and a sharp tongue. If this isn't you, pat yourself on the back. It's just as likely you know how to moderate your behavior, and when to stay in and unwind with a glass of wine and a few episodes of the L-Word. You're not slave to pleasure, but you do feel as though you deserve your share of life's comforts. If fate or circumstances deny them to you, you're quick to get pouty and impetuous.

So why do your friends keep you around? Well first off, because they're patient and forgiving. But oddly enough, you know how to handle a crisis. When a storm hits you'll be balancing on tiptoes in the center, proving you're more than just a pretty face. When gossip and jealousy cause a rift in your social circle, you'll negotiate a treaty with all the finesse of a Hillary Clinton. This is when seeing both sides of the argument comes in handy. When your car gets a flat on the way to Outfest, you'll pick put down the nail polish and pick up the car jack. In a crunch you can stay up for days to finish a project or plan an event right down to the last detail. And when you're done, you'll collapse on the couch and demand a drink.

Your friends also admire your sense of fairness and commitment to equality. You might take all day to weight the facts. But once you make up your mind nothing can stop you from restoring the scales of justice to their rightful balance. Many Librans are union organizers, for instance, because they hate to see workers unfairly treated. I also wouldn't be surprised if you'd been out in front advocating on behalf of lesbian marriage. Nothing makes a Libra as sullen as hypocrisy or Rick Warren.

Libras are proof that womyen need womyen. You do your best to keep your important relationships on an even keel, since they're the most important part of your life. Partnerships rule your heart and your checkbook. If you are an entrepreneur, you're far more likely go go into business with a trusted friend than strike out on your own. If you worked alone all day, who would you flirt with? In the office your ability to size people up and manage egos makes you a formidable talent, as long as you don't let the little things get to you. If you find yourself obsessing over the awful carpet in your office, or the smell of your co-worker's cheap perfume, it's time to get out and take a walk. Better yet, butter your boss up for a private office or some remodeling funds. If she's a Gemini or an Aquarius, she'll roll her eyes and give you exactly what you want.
