Libra, The Architect, September 23 - October 22
Welcome to the charming world of Libra, the seventh sign of the zodiac! Libra’s are known for their sense of balance, diplomacy, and harmonious nature. Symbolised by the Scales, these air signs possess a graceful energy that seeks fairness and equilibrium in all aspects of life.
Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Libra’s have a natural appreciation for aesthetics, harmony, and social connections. They possess a strong sense of justice and strive to create a peaceful and cooperative environment. They are skilled diplomats, always seeking to find common ground and maintain harmony in their relationships.
One of the key characteristics of Libra is their innate sense of fairness and their strong desire for justice. They have a natural ability to see multiple perspectives and are often sought after for their sound judgement and dedication to equality.
In relationships, Libra’s are charming and romantic partners. They value companionship and seek partnerships that are based on mutual respect and cooperation. They’re known for their ability to navigate conflicts with tact and diplomacy, striving to find compromises that satisfy both parties involved.
Libra thrives in professions that allow them to utilise their diplomatic and social skills.

What inspired you to venture into your current industry/profession, and what drives your passion for it?
Ever since I can remember, there was no doubt that I would pursue something creative! After spending years studying and working in various parts of the creative industry, I found my way to Graphic Design. I absolutely love that Graphic Design encapsulates both practical and creative elements, and my passion for this career is driven simply by the fact that I’m doing something I love!
Could you share a remarkable achievement or milestone in your career or personal life that you're particularly proud of? How did you overcome challenges to accomplish it?
I have two achievements that spring to mind involving both aspects of career and personal life! The first was when I took on a big risk, packed up my life into a suitcase and moved overseas for a creative role. That job actually didn’t work out, but consequently I landed another incredible job that I ended up staying in for four years. Living and working overseas presented so many challenges constantly, but I learnt many invaluable lessons in both my work and personal life. My second notable achievement (and by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done!) is becoming a mama and still pursuing my career. The juggle and mum guilt is real! Some days it’s hard to find creative inspiration but I’m still learning the balance of this one and I’m grateful to be able to still grow in my career and as a mama too.
In what ways do you believe your star sign influences your approach to life and business? Are there any specific traits or characteristics associated with your sign/natal chart that you identify with?
I guess it seems very obvious that as a Libra I’m in a creative profession ha! Everything is about beautiful aesthetics in my life, and this carries over into my job as well.
What strategies or practices do you rely on to maintain a healthy work-life balance? How do you prioritise self-care and personal well-being amidst your professional endeavours?
A wise astrologer (ahem Kristy Gray) once told me that it was important to have creative projects outside of my work too, as creativity in my life is key. I really took this on board and started exploring outlets such as drawing, writing and painting. This is definitely my self care these days and I feel like this personal creative growth further ignites passion within my career.
Can you offer any advice or words of wisdom to aspiring individuals in your industry who look up to you as a role model? What key lessons or experiences have shaped your journey and contributed to your success?
Have confidence in yourself as an artist and creative! Find your strengths and work on your weaknesses. Never stop learning new skills and ways to grow.
