friendships, work relationships and social situations. You may also crave
the best of everything (it’s your good taste that can be your downfall if
you’re on a budget!), and you definitely love the most refined elements of
life. At heart, you’re artistic, but you can be tough to satisfy.
Claiming your sense of individual autonomy may not be an easy task
with the influence of your Libra Sun. Since you tend to think in terms
of relativity, it’s difficult to extract your own assertive self in a confident
manner, especially during your early years. You may have learned
to place great importance on your physical appearance or upon proper
social behavior, learning to behave like a young lady, assuming that if
you were pretty and charming enough then all the other things would
just fall into place. Stepping out into the world and discovering that
you needed to be known for more than your looks may have been your
first reality check. Your sense of relativity can be one of your best
assets, however. By making harmonious choices of partners—whether
they are friends who share your interests, lovers or husbands—you can
gain the type of feedback you need to see yourself more clearly. Then,
your autonomy and individuality are strengthened through greater
objectivity. But if you seek a partner or husband who will take on the
tasks you just don’t feel prepared to handle, like dealing with the
demands of the world, then you will be continually frustrated and will
frustrate your partner, too. Additionally, developing social relationships
which support and reflect your true values will help you feel more
confident about your identity, instead of just seeking situations which
increase your social standing or status.
You may think you don’t care much about success as long as it looks
good on you. But you know that your Libra Sun is really driving you to
reach a stage of getting things right and having life fit your set of specifications.
Finding success through your associations with others may
seem to be the easy way out, and you may keep trying to change them
to fit your desires until you realize that you really are working on
changing yourself. So, look in the mirror and start over. What do you
want to see reflected back at you See that confident smile That’s the
look of success. The rest should be easy. (From “Woman to Woman,”

Responding to the revival of interest in pre-twentieth-century astrology, J. Lee
Lehman developed a report program embodying the interpretive approach of traditional
astrology. The following is excerpted from her book Classical Astrology for Modern
Living and her computer program “Classical Report”:
You are sincere and just, an interpreter of dreams who can find out
secret and hidden things. There is a danger that in the process you will
offend others. You are changeable, just, upright, courteous, crafty,
cheerful, and conceited.
