Libra (September 23 – October 22): Neroli or lavender
Zerner and Farber note that faithfulness, partnership, and loyalty are qualities that are usually essential to a Libra. Considering that Libras want to be surrounded by the very best, both Zerner and Farber recommend investing in luxurious essential oils, such as neroli (orange blossom) or lavender to help speak to their refined tastes and keen perceptiveness.

Libra claims seventh house space in the zodiac ranks and is a cardinal air sign of positive polarity ruled by Venus. As we know from past articles, the general rule for air is that it brings a mental/communicative attitude to the sign. Cardinal signs are the most action-oriented and Venus, of course, is all about beauty and love. So with all this we can imagine Librans will have the gift of charm and diplomacy, with the desire to create harmony and beauty around them. Justice and accord are key objectives for people of this open-minded sign. The symbol for Libra is the scales. Here balance, equality, equanimity and objectiveness are in place for the Libra person whose motto “I balance”.

This is the sign of partnership and Librans are at their best when paired up, in twos, like the balance of the scales. Libra is the sign of consultants, and professionals who work on a one-on-one basis with others. They work hard at striking the right balance in relationship and enjoy the camaraderie of exchanging insights and bouncing ideas around. Essential oils that stimulate creativity and bring out new ideas are rosemary, ginger, peppermint, melissa, frankincense, eucalyptus, cardamom, basil and lemongrass.

Librans tend to see themselves through other people. If they are around negative people, they absorb a negative view of themselves, which is why it is very important for Librans to have good people around them whom they can trust. Other people are like mirrors to Librans, shaping their image and enabling them to see either the most positive or most negative aspects of self. Choosing an optimistic life partner is crucial to a Libran. Marriage is fundamental in their lives and they are happiest cohabitating in a peaceful and intimate home. Essential oils that fill a place with harmony and peace are chamomile, lavender, cypress, rose, sandalwood, jasmine, geranium, neroli and clary sage.

Librans avoid conflict, something they abhor. This makes them very popular with others, but can also make them seem fickle and wishy-washy, as it seems they will agree with someone’s point of view whether it is their belief or not. Balance and harmony are so important to Libra, in that he may try to find equilibrium in a situation by creating a “false” harmony that exists merely on the surface of things, rather than acknowledging and directly addressing the source of the imbalance. This is especially harmful in close personal relationships. Libra has a primal fear of being disliked. So instead of saying anything, Libra will say “I don’t mind,” letting the tension build, even when it’s obvious that something is wrong. He can be very passive aggressive. This construct leans towards the possibility of being a ‘yes’ person in order to avoid confrontation. Essential oils that support a stronger sense of self and individuation are vetiver, helichrysum, frankincense, rose wood, rosemary, black pepper, cedarwood, pine and melissa.

Being ruled by Venus, Librans have a natural love of beauty and pleasure. But rather than seeing the beauty in materialistic objects, Librans more appreciate the beauty in other people. Grace, refinement and charm are Venus’s gifts, and Librans make graceful hosts and hostesses, decorators, artists. The other side of Venus is laziness. Sometimes you will find a Libra who is sloppy as the day is long. It’s just two sides of the same coin. But whichever side they are on, Librans are always charming and adept at saying the perfect thing at the exact moment it needs to be said. They enjoy surrounding themselves with fine art, but they are much happier amidst fine people, say at the opera, theatre or at a sophisticated cocktail party where they can schmooze with the best of them. Essential oils that bring out the best in a party situation are frankincense, patchouli, ylang ylang, rosemary, peppermint, bergamot, eucalyptus and lemon.

The trick to understanding the depth of any astrological sign is to understand that every sign contains a shadow of its polar opposite. Libra’s shadow sign is Aries, the me-first sign, sign of competition and confrontation. Diplomacy is a strong characteristic of the Libran who loathes injustice, cruelty and unpleasantness. So much so, that some Librans ironically become unpleasant and cruel themselves in confronting a perceived cruelty or miscarriage of justice. The Aries shadow shows itself. However, if Libra embraces the shadow and realizes that she also has within her the gifts of Aries—courage and straightforwardness—she becomes a powerful force for truth and goodness in her world. Essential oils that promote courage are cardamom, frankincense, marjoram, elemi, cypress, cedarwood, orange and helichrysum.

Libra’s gift is the ability to create mutually beneficial situations in which each contributor also benefits in kind from the exchange. Librans strive for fairness in their assessment of a situation. They usually can see both sides of a predicament and can problem solve with both opposing sides feeling as if they have won. So if you need to find justice, harmony, fairness and diplomacy, call on a Libra for and you’ll get to see all sides of the equation.

Libra

The Libra is one of the most genuine of all the astrological signs. Libras are loving, easygoing individuals. They don’t like to get involved in drama and would much rather relax and keep to themselves. They’re creative and they often like to get involved in different activities where they can use their creative minds to their fullest potential.

Because they’re known to be calm, the scents associated with Libras match this personality: earthy and clean. Some of the best essential oil scents for Libras include thyme, basil, and lemon essential oils.

Libras are considered happy individuals who prefer calming scents, which is the reason Happy diffuser makes the best diffuser choice for Libras. The Happy diffuser contains fennel, thyme, and vanilla essential oils. These oils may improve mood, alleviate anxiety, and promote relaxation.

Libras, like the scales that represent them, are all about balance. They love justice, peace, harmony and beauty. At best they are good-natured, pleasant and intelligent. But have you ever tried to achieve balance on a scale? The scale will sometimes teeter back and forth, especially when you’re not the one controlling what’s going on the scales. The same goes for the Libra: sometimes they may seem very erratic when trying to find balance, and they also have trouble with indecision. They want to make the perfect decision to bring balance every time, and this is not always an easy chore. Sometimes Libras also suffer from depression with the weight of keeping balance on their shoulders. Libras benefit from balancing and uplifting essential oils, as well as those that help with indecision.

Power Essential Oil: Geranium

Geranium is all about balance, especially emotional balance. It helps a Libra with depression, and decreases the emotional sways that come along with keeping the peace.

Deeply floral, but the bergamot tempers the sweetness, bringing in a hint of citrus. Emotionally balancing, uplifting, counteracts depression. Caution: Not recommended for use during pregnancy due to jasmine content.

Deeply woodsy, with a slight herbal sweetness. Counters depression, balancing, uplifting, grounding, brings emotional fortitude. Caution: Not recommended for use during pregnancy due to jasmine and cedar content.

Libra (September 22—October 21): Libra is a mental Air sign, but it’s also about creating balance and partnership, so experiment with rose, neroli, and bergamot to maximize harmony

Essential Oils for Libra

Libra (24 September- 23 October)

Ruling Planet:- Venus

Libra is an Air sign. People born under this sign are the balance seekers. They look for harmony in everything. Libra can help bridge the gap between two people and are often mediators for their friends.

They are compassionate and romantic. Many a times it is observed that the Libra suffer from glandular problems. Essential oil ascribed to Libra is Geranium. The Balancing properties of Geranium make them ideal for Libra. Geranium is excellent for hormone regulation.

In my opinion, Geranium roll on perfume like this one is good for a Libra woman.

Librans are laid-back and like to mull over stuff and can procrastinate about decisions waaay too long. A focusing kind of scent like sage, frankincense, or ylang-ylang will help to sharpen their clarity and attention when they need to *deep breaths* make a firm and final decision. Libras can also experience lower-back pain, which basil and bergamot can help to relieve.

Libra (September 23 – October 22) – Roman Chamomile

Roman chamomile promotes serenity and releases drama. It brings clarity and one’s own inner voice to the forefront to help with decision making. Libras are often seen as the peacekeepers of the zodiac, but it should also be noted that they are the judges, as well the balance point. They try to take everyone around them into consideration when approaching an important decision and this can sometimes cloud out their internal clarity. Chamomile calms all the senses and restores clarity to the user to make the best decision possible and to be assured in their choosing. Also, like Libras, chamomile is quite popular and makes you feel at ease. Blend it with vetiver, lavender, or clary sage for diverse notes. 

Libra (Air Element) | 23rd September – 22nd October
