Natives of Libra fall into one of two distinct and different types. The shorter individuals have well-formed physiques...albeit rather stocky...with full, expressive lips, an open countenance and well-rounded foreheads. They are also somewhat broad in the area of the temples. The eyes of this shorter native are usually either blue or brown, possessing a sharp and penetrative gaze. These Libra subjects are better suited to become expert accountants and/or bookkeepers. They also have a natural inclination to acquire several languages and will likely hold good positions as interpreters and/or foreign correspondents. Those who fall into the second category of Libra native are usually tall and inclined to be slender of build. They have straight and narrow foreheads with dark hair and generally grey or blue eyes. Perceptive faculties are strongly marked in the second type, which enables them to form excellent opinions. Hence, they are magnificent salespersons and will also excel as buyers since they seem to be able to accurately forecast the probable demand for goods and will rarely be caught with an overstock in any particular line.

In general terms, those born under the jurisdiction of Libra, much like the symbol of this Sign, are well-balanced in physical appearance. Typically, these are proportioned individuals who, even when they put on weight, tend to display any extra pounds more or less evenly over the entire body rather than in one specific area. Indeed, because there are usually no exaggerated or pronounced physical characteristics, it may be difficult to pinpoint Libra natives from their physical frame...although the very aspect of regular bodily proportioning may well be a good clue. The bodies of both sexes are customarily of medium height and average build, with a decided tendency toward curviness. There will also be a certain litheness of movement which is best described as graceful. Often, the females of this Sign lean toward a somewhat robust physique rather than the petite, while the males are frequently rather effeminate in appearance and would rarely be considered burly. This further exemplifyies the penchant of Libra natives to gravitate toward balance, even between the sexes. In short, there is a certain refinement in the frame and features of both genders which could be said to express some of the qualities associated with the opposite sex. Most Libra natives have rather interesting mannerisms. When weighing even the slightest puzzling statement, proposition or decisions, for example, they often balance a small object...pencil, ruler or stick, etc....on the tip of the finger or, if standing, balance their weight on their toes. The skin of Libra individuals has a healthy glow and the fine, silky texture of the hair...typically of a lighter shade with a tendency toward curliness...is frequently something to be envied. These natives are generally tall and slender, although stoutness can easily come with middle age. The features are usually nicely shaped and the teeth may be pearly. The head is usually round at the top and somewhat long, possibly tapering markedly toward the chin, although the facial bone structure itself will undoubtedly be symmetrical. The lips are customarily finely chiseled. In essence, there is a pleasant roundness to all features. The speaking voice will usually be gentle, soft and melodious...yet, in tone, it can command much attention when necessary...and many Libra natives possess rather good singing voices.

Perhaps the most typical Libra characteristic is the "Dimple of Venus." Natives of this Sign will often have a couple on the cheeks or one on the chin. If not apparent in the face, then such dimples may be found in the knees or even the elbows. On occasion, the dimples do not appear until the Libra individual smiles and then, this trademark comes shining through. Indeed, the smile of these natives is said to melt even the coldest of hearts or brighten the most melancholy of moods. It is a beaming smile...one that is brimming with warmth and sincerity. It projects and transforms the face into a beacon of sunshine, making all those within its range feel good from head to toe. This is a smile that crinkles the corners of the eyes and proliferates the irresistible Libra message of peace, love and beauty.

To some extent, the above descriptions are influenced and affected by the qualities associated with the Decan into which the Libra individual falls. (To read more about the qualities associated with the Decans of Libra, please click on the link given below.)

A subject born within the First Decan (September 23 to October 2...also known as the Libra Decante of Libra), may be better looking than the average Libra individual, with a general demeanor and approach to most matters that is essentially calm, easy and cool. Often tall to very tall in height, these natives have a fairly robust frame. There is sometimes a rather peculiar almond shape to the eyes here with lids that droop in the corners and brows that are short and curved. The face is normally quite round and plumpness or obesity may be somewhat common. These are neat souls with good taste who are particularly careful of personal grooming and work very hard to look their best at all times.

A subject born within the Second Decan (October 3 to October 12...also known as the Aquarius Decante of Libra), is inclinded to possess the slim build and straight nose associated with those who fall under the jurisdiction of Aquarius. Here, the body type is normally medium to tall.

A subject born within the Third Decan (October 13 to October 22...also known as the Gemini Decante of Libra), is likely to look much younger than his or her actual years. This native is generally slim, being short to medium in terms of height. In addition, a slightly aquiline nose is very common. It is not easy for this native to get his or her point across when speaking without the aid of hand and/or arm gestures, which are used profusely in a natural manner.
