she received very glowing reports, but as
time wore on, she became the focus of
negative news stories. The Duchess has
been portrayed in some press reports as a
demanding employer, a social climber, and
a spendthrift who spends a lot of money on
her clothes. The stories could simply be
catty gossip, fueled by the need for media
outlets to increase their readership.
The Moon in Libra gives Meghan
Markle an inborn love of luxury and a
desire to associate with the movers and
shakers of the world. It also gives her a
tendency to make peace with others, and
to get along with those with whom she
associates, so while there may be a grain
of truth in some of the negative stories,
there is much more truth to be seen in the
actual characteristics imparted to anyone
with the Moon in this sign.
Libra and You
As much as popular astrologyemphasizes Sun signs, it is worth
remembering that in a very real sense
we are all 12 signs. People who do not
have Sun, rising sign, or Moon in Libra
still have Libra somewhere in their birth
charts, often through the placement of a
planet or two in that sign. Even lacking
that, however, Libra is still somewhere
in the circle of houses in your chart, and
thus makes its contribution to the many
facets of your personality from there. The
following expresses how the sign of Libra
affects you by its house placement.
1st: You may be physically attractive,
something that shows best when you
smile. You know how to dress and to
make the most of your figure.
2nd: You may be indecisive where
money is concerned. First you want to
save, then you go to the mall and blow
your pay on designer clothes!
3rd: You have a very good mind, and
can be extremely shrewd in your analysis
of others. Your wit could make you a good
writer of satire.
4th: One of your main goals is to
live in peace and harmony with others.
If someone in your living situation is
disagreeable, avoiding a solution to the
problem may affect your health.
5th: You are in love with love!
Romantic interludes are a favorite activity,
but it can be hard for you to commit to one
person for long periods of time.
6th: You want to get ahead in life
and to make a name for yourself in your
chosen profession. You are a team player,
but can also be quite ruthless in your quest
for success.
7th: You may find it hard to choose
between marrying for love or marrying
for money, but yes, you may be able to
do both!
8th: You strive to stay on good terms
with ex-partners, even if it takes effort on
your part. You may be tempted to tweak
your appearance as you get older.
9th: You love to learn and will continue
to expand your knowledge throughout
your life. Seniors with fresh new college
degrees are not rare.
10th: Settling on the right career path
may be a life-long challenge. You might
make a big career change in middle age.
11th: Companionship is very important
to you, and you strive to have an active
social life. You have a long list of
acquaintances, but a shorter list of close
friends.
12th: You approach spiritual matters
with a degree of skepticism, but may
long for the serenity that religious faith
brings. P
