This is the area of the zodiac most strongly involved in relating to others. Librans
are diplomats, interested in peace and agreement, working with an objective, balanced view.
In fact, this being the sign of the scales, balance is a central concern. To this end
Librans are not only aware of the necessity of finding time both for themselves for
others; they are interested in balance in all manner of other areas. Thus Librans are very
aware of the need for justice; the concept of harmony leads them to have a fine appreciation
of aesthetics and strongly artistic ability, and they need everything to be in its right place
in their lives. These instincts are central, often carried across the
board in their lives and the motivation for a career involving the arts, law, conflict
resolution, beautification and/or negotiation.
Imbalance is the Achilles heel of Libra. As their opposite sign Aries needs to learn to
truly relate to others, Libra, which has so much skill in this area,
needs to find time to be alone and carry out its independent
projects. Librans love and thrive on partnership but also must understand the danger of
losing themselves through putting all their energy in this one direction; they need closeness but
must maintain some freedom.
These people are friendly and sociable, able to get along with vastly diverse people
from all walks of life. Their strong empathy gives them great ability in working in
one-to-one situations and so many Librans are in the helping and counseling professions,
particularly where an objective view is required.
Being an air sign, they love to chat, travel and learn. On the downside are distortions
of Libra's central skills and concerns; the inability to function independently,
ambivalence, a tendency to get by using their (often ample) charm, problems saying
'no', glossing over anything ugly or confrontational and procrastination.

Time of birth is "dodgy data".
The first presenter/questioner of "The Weakest Link" Robinson played up to the role of hard woman presenter in black. The show is all about the relationships between contestants, who vote each other off the show and are gouded by Robinson. Anne asks the quiz questions and grills the participants between rounds, probing for weaknesses of character. The verbal jousting, give and take, allegiances and fallings out are classic Libran stuff, as are the strong one-to-one relating and the quiz show format itself.
