Venus, as your ruling planet, will always have the dominant influence on your life, with the other planets providing the secondary influences. The influence of Venus includes both a sympathetic awareness of others, and the inspiration for romantic or sexual love. Gentleness, tact, friendliness and the social graces may also be traced to the positive influence of Venus, who also inspires the feminine aspects of male Librans. In adverse conditions, however, Librans may find the influence of Venus can promote indecisiveness, indiscretion, and over-dependence on others, especially partners or lovers. Libra is not one of the strongest signs of the Zodiac, and other solar influences in the birth reading of each individual Libran can weaken its higher characteristics.

The Sun can heighten your capacity for expressing warmth and affection and enjoying the luxuries of life. In some circumstances certain planets can modify or enhance the Sun's influence.

The Light Moon, if it is salient in Libra's birth reading, can help to increase the archetypal feminine qualities already brought to the Libran by Venus. In male Librans, it can strengthen the feminine principle. These include empathy for others, peacemaking, tact and diplomacy, and the urge to bring out the best in others. But the moon is also associated with fluctuations and contradictory emotions and there may be a lack of objectivity or the inability to think clearly about a situation. The Dark Moon may bring out the often repressed passion and power of the Libran, which if not well managed can bring uncharacteristic selfishness and cattiness to the Libran persona. If well managed it may enable the Libran to be decisive and deliver the hard message they had been avoiding.

Mercury influences your mind and can act as a buffer against your tendency towards procrastination or laziness. Look for an enhancement of your communication skills, in the area of objectivity that you usually find difficult. In less favorable circumstances, Mercury may increase your proclivity for indecision and laziness and you may end up sitting on the fence rather than tackling an issue.

Mars adds more sexual activity to romance, but may encourage you towards 'falling in love' without going on to form the deeper emotional ties you crave. The influence of Mars encourages your relaxed approach to life, but may also militate against getting things done.

Jupiter can influence your open approach and facilitate the positive flow of your energies. In less favorable circumstances, you may be prone to exaggerated emotional behaviors, such as excessive dependence on others, especially your lover or partner. You may begin to feel 'entitled' and exempt from your responsibilities, inclined to pamper yourself.

Saturn may enhance your innate sense of justice, sympathy and kindness, tact and diplomacy, and equity. However, in less favorable circumstances, it may encourage a tendency to shrink from commitment, or to 'remind' people they should be grateful to you.

Uranus encourages a 'cool-headed' approach to others and a new feeling of independence which may assist you to resist your tendency to rush headlong into relationships. In other circumstances, Uranus can have a disruptive influence associated with upheavals in your life, though sea changes are not necessarily a bad thing.

Neptune's influence may be felt in the area of long-term plans, dreams, or goals, so that you may focus on positive steps towards fulfillment. If the influence of Neptune is unfavorable, you may need to watch a tendency to be overly optimistic. Neptune may also influence the way you see the world, and thus the way you approach living your life.
