Libra, the sign of the scales relates to balance, give and take in relationships, harmony, right? The irony is that Libra must strive for these things. It seems to me; many times, Librans are argumentative just to create a balanced viewpoint. They create balance by being oppositional! This gives a hint of the complexity of this sign (and very confusing to those who have this sign or the planet Venus prominently figured in their chart!).
The Libra side of Venus (Taurus is also Venusian) relates to relating (hah). It describes to what extent relationships are a major learning energy for you, in this lifetime. Relationships of many kinds are fodder for learning: an introduction to a new understanding, seeing a broader perspective, this is the bottom line. For those with this signature, the journey in he current lifetime, now must be broadened, balanced through the perspectives provided through give and take. These folks have done everything they can by themselves and in this life the next step is accessed through another.
Libra is an air sign. This creates a mental approach. The world of ideas is a joy and necessary in people with much air energy in their natal chart. Discussion, communication, learning are all tools for this type. Being cardinal air, Librans are quick to see the relativity, to choose a side, to see an imbalance and either create it quietly and serenely or dispute the imbalance aggressively. The need for balance is of paramount importance and takes center stage, is the priority. For those who are in a relationship (any type of relationship) with Librans it helps to understand the discussion (argument) is not a personal attack, at least to healthy Libra, it is simply a way to establish the options to make an informed decision, to learn.
Signatures relating to Venus in our natal chart describe our needs in relationships. It describes what we give to another. It represents where we have reached the end of the solo path and require a bit more perspective to take the dynamics described by Venus to the next step in our soul’s evolution.
Wherever your Venus is, or the patterns described by planets, houses and aspects relating to Libra/Venus, be prepared to be challenged. The lessons of this type can feel humbling but are important. Enjoy being taken outside your comfortable habit and into the uncharted territory, uncomfortable opposition, the brilliant lessons of this archetype.
