Libra Overview
Birthday Personality
Mercury's sub-rulership adds quick wit and communicative brilliance to your Libra charm. You are the storyteller and networker of the zodiac able to hold a room captive with your words and connect people who would never have met otherwise. Your intellectual curiosity is broader than the typical Libra, ranging from arts to sciences and everything between. You collect ideas the way others collect possessions.
Lucky Attributes
Mulank 8: Born on the 17th
Mulank 8 is ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline, patience and lasting reward. Those born on the 8th, 17th or 26th tend to be serious, responsible and persistent, and often achieve more in the second half of life than the first. The key for this number is patience, because Saturn rewards steady effort and tends to delay results that are rushed.
