The most difficult to understand and the most charming of the Zodiac has to be the Libra child. My knowledge of this zodiac sign comes from my son and brother, who are absolute winners when it comes to popularity. Although in many ways they are the same, they are also very different. The many years difference in age bears no relation to the basic pattern of both achievement and failure.
They can reach great heights and will make you believe every word of their dreams for the finer things in life. Meanwhile, they tenaciously cling to their inner confusion about how they will make it.
Born between September 24 and October 23, this is a group of humans who hate being rude. But that’s not always the case, as they can deliver the most stinging tirades of rhetoric when forced into a corner. Once they decide who they should love and who their enemies are, it’s hard to persuade them otherwise.
They are also prone to sulking for long periods of time. Never try to order them. As a child, my son would sit alone for hours or beat ants in the driveway because he couldn’t do what was asked of him. If he was ordered to complete a task, he would find one of his sisters to do it for him and even bully them into doing it.
They’re supposed to be restless, but do they ever hurry? Not!. Those born under this sign take all day to get to an appointment and can be an hour or two late. That makes them poor candidates for jobs. However, once they’re in the right position, they’ll stand out remarkably in their work and the sun will shine brightly in their eyes as they lovingly recount how great they are to a captured audience.
The way to raise them is to never ask for something to be done, but to give unrequited love and sit back and watch them act. They will complete tasks and do it extremely well. They will select to do things you never imagined and will excel brilliantly if nobody pushes them.
Famous Libras who have helped shape the world include Dwight D. Eisenhower, who became President of the United States and played a huge role in ending World War II. They also include John Lennon, Julie Andrews and Oscar Wilde, all of whom have left notable legacies in the arts. Mahatma Gandhi is someone the world will never forget.
The difference between people, one another, and the complexities of being born at different times should hold a special place in our hearts. The Spirit of the Universe, the Great Creator, made so many paths for each of us to follow and invented so much variety that, like flowers in a garden, we have flowers that fill us with love, while others are just weeds.
My fascination with this phenomenon stems from the memory of reincarnation and the knowledge that we are born again to life after death. It explains death and why we are so different. We have no choice of our own making, as there is more to our existence than we think we are. What we are and what we become, whether to lead or follow, is not our choice.
The precise time of our return is measured in the Great Plan of God. We put our grain of sand according to how we are programmed. The means to succeed or fail are within us from birth and cannot be changed by anyone, as evidenced by the signs under which we are born.
It takes a great and powerful intelligence to devise such a plan and we are caught in it like flies in a web. Those who cannot see beyond religious ideologies are flies dragged to their spiritual death as the spider consumes them in its web. Those connected to Universal Spirit are released from capture and flourish to benefit their spiritual growth while helping others to do the same.
Given a free hand, the Libra child will grow into this role as they exude love and balance the scales.
