The Kingdom is within you and all around you, not in buildings made of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood and I am there. Lift a stone and you will find me. - Jesus

About Libra

Birthstone - Opal, Peridot
People born under Libra can be every bit as fiery as the volcanic forces associated with their birthstone. They have a natural ability to rise to a challenge, confront problems quickly, and move through difficult situations with such subtle grace that others are often left impressed by the strength behind their composure. They are naturally charismatic and well known for their charm, confidence, and social ease. At times, that confidence can be mistaken for arrogance, although arrogance is rarely the intention. More often, what appears to be aloofness or superiority is simply boredom. As natural problem-solvers who enjoy puzzles, patterns, life itself can feel like one enormous puzzle, and they often have an uncanny ability to see several pieces ahead.That same ability can also become one of Libra’s challenges. When they understand a situation quickly, react and move on before everyone else, they become restless or mentally under-stimulated. An idle Libra may begin creating complications simply because they need something to engage with. This can cause them to become overly involved in other affairs, overindulging, or stirring movement into situations that might have been better left alone.
