星座商业伙伴之天枰篇

 　　LIBRA

　　September 24 to October 23

　　The Libra person is the ideal partner. Libra is the sign of partnership¹, and these natives are the most composed, balanced, temperate² and rational of all the twelve signs.

　　They can adapt themselves to any personality and bring out the best in the other fellow. They never fall down on their own share of the work, and can be trusted implicitly³ to give an honest account of themselves. They accept the most advanced standards in whatever the field of endeavor, but they are seldom willing to adopt the extreme or the revolutionary. This is not beacons⁴ they are reactionary⁵, but because they can not with perfect justice permit anyone to risk their means on an untried or unproved method or system. Intellectually they might be interested in the extreme renovation⁶, but materially they would not be willing to take the risk.

　　The weak Libra type lacks direction, and passes out a good deal of smooth diplomatic talk to serve for facts and action. They are not such a good bet as a partner, and the benefits of partnership with a weak Libra are just as doubtful as a relationship with other less productive types.
