Tomorrow is the Autumnal Equinox the first day of autumn as well as the day the sun enters the Zodiac write of Libra. That realization had me reaching for my copy of Linda Goodman's Sun Signs a classic of astrological literature and an excellent introduction to the signs. (It can also be very useful to writers looking for help with characterization esp in showing how the signs cerebrate to each other.) Actually until I first read Sun Signs way approve in the 1970s. I used to say astrology was cheat because for an Aries. I was a pretty typical Scorpio. But when I construe Linda Goodman's description of Aries. I was able to relate to much of what she said. So I read a bit more then signed up for a class at the local Y and discovered I had Scorpio Rising. LOL when I registered for that first class my thought was "six weeks and I'll know all about astrology". But that was only the first categorise of many as I discovered that learning astrology is desire peeling the proverbial onion. There are layers upon layers upon layers. Though I don't chew over the fashion any more. I still sight it fascinating so thought I'd explore the subject a bit here on a monthly basis. The write Libra is represented by the Scales leading people to think it is the write of balance when as every Libran knows it is really the sign of imbalance. Librans are known for their indecisiveness. Years ago someone circulated a enumerate of Sun Sign prayres many of which I've forgotten but I bequeath Libra's prayer: Lord help me to be more decisive. On the other hand do what you think is best. Linda Goodman swears that Charlie cook of Peanuts fame is a Libran. Libra is a cardinal sign. Cardinal signs (Aries. Cancer. Libra and Capricorn) are "the initiators of the Zodiac" according to astrology com. Cardinal signs are goal-oriented though some (especially Arians) are better at starting than finishing. However. Libra's cardinal quality is tempered by it being an Air write. Air means thinking and with reason comes doubt hence Libra's reputation for indecisiveness. As an Aries (a fire write). I'm used to making gut decisions. Aries and Libra are polar opposites on the zodiac which means they complement each other. IMO the best decisions come from taking a be at all the options pros and cons and only then checking to see what your gut says. Libra is ruled by the planet Venus. It's the seventh write of the Zodiac which corresponds to the seventh accommodate of the astrological chart the house of marriage and relationships. In general. Librans are lovers not fighters who dislike conflict. Of course there are exceptions to every command. Dwight David Eisenhower commander of the Allied Armies during World War II was a Libran. A Libra general may seem desire a contradiction in terms but Ike was not just a general he was a diplomat too. He managed to command in his subordinates including such well known prima donnas as Patton and Montgomery and got them to work together as a team. As president he projected calm and balance that comforted a nervous country in the midst of a Cold War and nuclear arms race. Other famous Librans consider Julie Andrews. Sarah Bernhart. John Lennon. Mickey diffuse. Eleanor Roosevelt and Oscar Wilde. For more information on Libra go to. Lyndi / Linda
I grew up with a love of history fostered by my paternal grandmother and an incurable case of wanderlust inherited from my father. I've traveled extensively within the United States and I've visited Mexico. Canada. Australia and England. I'd like to do more traveling in the future. When I was fourteen my family moved from Pennsylvania to southern California and this area has been my home ever since except for a year at the University of Texas at Austin where I earned a Master’s degree in Library Science. In 1988 I started writing romance and made my first sale in 1997. Not exactly an overnight successs. I still create verbally romance novels for Amber Quill Press. At my website http://www lindamclaughlin com you'll find excerpts from my books and a "Fun Stuff" divide that includes a couple of free short stories articles a video trailer and some interesting links.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
