The Libran Aromatherapist and Couch Client

Libra
Element: Air Quality: Cardinal Planet: Venus
Approx period: 23rd Sept to 22nd Oct

Star Qualities:
Loves beauty and harmony, the world can seem a cruel place to a Libran and at worst, they can divorce themselves from their emotions to secure their outward appearance of peace and compliance. Gentle and artistic but can be lazy. Diplomatic with a sense of justice and fair play. A typical 'agony Aunt' and a loyal friend. The Libran is less likely than most to tell any of their friends about you unless they can see it as being useful to them.
Rulerships:
Libra rules the body's balance, its homeostasis. Hence hormones, fluids, the kidneys and lumber vertebrae. By reflex to Aires, the head and brain.
Physical Attributes:
Because of the idealism and vision of a 'perfect world', the Libran can suffer from stress if things are out of balance. Diseases of the kidney, stones, nephritis and bladder infections. Lower back problems. Stress and hormonal imbalance can also lead to skin eruptions due to the bodies inability to detoxify.
Herbs/Oils:
Those that balance the endocrine system, combat infection, relieve headaches and muscular aches and pains. Also those that enable old traumas to be put into perspective.
Treatments:
Back massage and facials a must, possibly leading to lymphatic drainage (although rarely overweight, Libras can retain fluid) or full body massage. Compresses for back and kidney problems. Skin conditions may mean no massage is possible, therefore compresses and baths for these. All with 'luxuriously' blended and very balanced oils.
Other:
As they are prone to indulge in cordon-bleu meals, de-tox diets etc must be presented to them in a 'de-lux' but easy to prepare menu style.
Librans tend to be easy hypnotherapy subjects and are good at meditation and visualisation. Alexander technique and light dance are other options.
Therapist:
As a therapist you will need quiet, well equipped and harmonious surroundings. You are unlikely to be peripatetic but enjoy the beauty side of therapy E.g. facials. You are likely to be good at counselling but need to keep check on your own inner needs. Allow for imperfections in an imperfect world and help those that come to see you attain their individual balance which may differ from your own - after all that is why clients come to see you.
Enjoy the fragrances and create your own therapeutic perfumes and make full use of flower remedies.
