Libra in Judaism: Born in Tishrei? Discover Your Libra Traits

Libra is the seventh sign in the zodiac. The month of Tishrei is when the world was created, and it includes the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah. The scales symbolize the weighing of an individual's virtues and sins, determining what will be inscribed for them in the coming year.

Libras believe in the approach of "two are better than one." They need social life and partnerships; solitude for them is like being a fish out of water.

Gifts and Tools

Libras are characterized by high communication skills and excellent expression. They are full of tact, knowing exactly what to say and when to say it. They are gentle individuals, polite, and very well-liked, creating a pleasant atmosphere around them. 

They have a great love for balance, harmony, and peace, which makes them considerate of others, lovers of peace, and willing to make significant concessions for its sake.

Libras are endowed with a strong sense of justice and fairness. They can hear both sides objectively, empathize, and be sensitive to each party. They excel at mediation and can turn two adversaries into friends.

The scales represent a measuring tool, so Libras will maintain balance in every area of their lives.

Libra individuals uphold equality and derive enjoyment from participating in activities related to charity or defending individuals.

Materialism does not attract Libras, who are more drawn to spirituality and the mental and abstract aspects of life.

Libras are ambitious, intellectual, and talented people. They possess deliberate and cautious thinking, usually acting according to logic and reason.

Weaknesses that Require Improvement

The scales symbolize a weighing device, so Libras often weigh, think, and hesitate until they can make a decision. Libras make choices only after thorough examination and often after prolonged contemplation; they need to learn to stop hesitating, make a decision, and stick with it, as prolonged indecisiveness can hinder progress in both daily choices and significant life steps.

Understanding that every choice in life involves gains and losses can make it easier for them to make decisions. Once a decision is reached, they should continue without regrets, as per the saying "there's no use crying over spilled milk."

The month of Tishrei, to which Libra belongs, begins with Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Judgment, making new beginnings potentially challenging for Libras. They need to avoid being intimidated by beginnings and use their inherent ambition to propel them forward.

Libras love to please others, but this desire might make them compromise on their important values or genuine needs. Libra individuals must learn that it's not always necessary to please everyone, particularly when doing so comes at a significant personal cost.
