The sign of the Statesman or Manager
"A Balanced Affair"
Venus is beauty. It symbolises the harmony and radiance of a rare and elusive quality - magnificence itself. It is refinement and delicacy, softness and charm. In astrology and dance, it indicates the grace, balance and style of the Waltz in all its elegant, aesthetic splendour. Where Venus goes, the Waltz flows, wallowing in its charm; a gentle drawing in of energy and a total need for satisfaction and completion. It is a special touch that finishes off rough edges. It is sensitivity, and affection, and it is always the place for the elusive phenomena: LOVE and RUMBA.
So Venus describes every sign's sense of what is beautiful and loving. Poorly developed, it is vulgar, tasteless and self-indulgent. But its ideal is the flame of spiritual love - Aphrodite, goddess of love, and the sweetness and power of personal beauty. Every Libra dancer is blessed and filled with the strength and charisma of Venus allure.
Never again will you have a mental picture of a Libra dancer as a calm, perfectly balanced, sweet, gracious and charming individual. You'll have a mental picture of a dancer who has that kind of disposition half the time. The other half is annoying, quarrelsome, stubborn, restless, depressed and confused. Libra is first up, then down, swinging one way, then another, like the pendulum style of Samba, then suddenly, when their scale is perfectly balanced… it's heavenly bliss. But there is always that Waltz period of rise and fall, swaying, weighing and dipping before the movement and moment of divine balance is secured.
Libra dancers can often achieve what they want through friendly, gentle persuasion. Because of their calm, others find them a port-in-a-storm. To avoid unpleasantness, these "scalely" personalities will tell others the things they know their listeners will want to hear, to bolster their confidence. The Libra dancer is tactful and skilful in his/her use of gentleness. Others may try to take advantage, but with their wits about them, the Libran is a difficult nut to crack - even when they appear transparent. They are so strong in their ways of influencing, that few can undermine these souls of Love.
The Libra man or woman is generally even-tempered, but like most signs, can flare up when cornered. Still and all, they cool off quite rapidly and are willing to let bygones be bygones. Libran dancers understand others quite deeply because of their sympathetic nature. They are considerate of the opinions' of others, no matter how wrong they may seem, thus making great dance partners and pleasant characters to be around and associated with.
LOVE: is good times. Affections are outgoing, emotions constant. This one gives, is protective, delivers strength, is dynamic. There is unstoppable spirit, unwavering enthusiasm. The beat is exciting, the rhythm smooth, the style relaxed. This one is noble, majestic - bringing quality to love, something towering to love. A staunch defender of tenderness and care.
PASSION: Is sacred embrace. This one is mental, serves to support, to inspire, to nurture. Responds to need, rises to obligation. There is instant release of positive energy. Nothing is withheld or denied, it's the ultimate. There is continuity, style, gentleness and finesse. Physical exchange is a culmination of love and action - an ecstatic encounter.
Dance: Is pure bodily delight. The rhythm rolls smoothly; pulsating melodies enchant. Unity and co-ordination of movement and patterns merge with passionate rapport - a heavenly prance. The action is precise, hectic, physical, energetic - an exhilarating acceptance. Hearts flutter, feet express tender emotion, bodies talk a musical, harmonious lingo - bells ring, ting! aling! aling!… it's a voyage, a gradual blending of physical action and romantic mood - a bonding of souls… of flesh… of style... of music.
To our male and female dancing scales, we say, have a balanced stay, the dancing way, for many a day. Let your footwork do the talking… love is in the air, cha cha cha.
