A flamboyant Libra talks about the pros and cons of the astrological sign, from the dippy logo to the side-effects, sexual and otherwise, of a "yes, and" lifestyle.

 EXCERPT

 

You know the worst thing about being a Libra? Now, I'm not complaining -- it's mostly just peachy living under the sign of Venus. We're wonderful lovers, we're funny, we're attractive, and smart, and we're fabulous lovers, and we're charming, and upbeat, and fun to be with, and we're TERRIFIC lovers and...oh, did I say that already? Well, it's true. No one is more creative in bed, darling, it comes with the territory.

No, the only truly terrible thing we have to live with -- it's the logo! I mean, just look at it! It's totally and utterly beneath us. Not some attractive woman with a pitcher of water, or a lion, or tiger, or I could even accept a goat, thank you very much, but, I mean -- SCALES? It's not even an animal, it's just this hideous object. It looks like an ad for a law practice, for God's sake. Scales! Is it any wonder that every single Libra I know flirts with an eating disorder, or a weight problem? Oh, yes, darling, when you live with Venus, you have to accept that Curves 'R' Us. It's part of the cosmic programming. (CONTINUES )
