Overview

The Libra baby will revel in the attention of others from the get-go. That baby whom everyone is cooing over at the doctor's office? Yes, it's a Libra. Passive yet charming, people can't help fawning all over this sun-kissed child. Perhaps it's the way a Libra baby smiles when others swoon. Whatever the case may be, this child is possessed of the most endearing qualities. Even-tempered and sweet in disposition, the Libra baby loves to have others around and would much rather be with company than alone. In a group, this child will mix quite well with others, displaying the very Libran qualities of sociability and diplomacy. The Libra tot is a born mediator, perhaps prepping early on for a career as a lawyer or judge. Loving fancy touches, the Libra child is not likely to take well to hand-me-downs, especially girls! These are kids who love to feel pretty, and the best clothes are a big step in that direction. Comfort is also important to this child, so clean, pressed clothes and a snappy room are an added plus. Sense a bit of control here? Well, the Libra child does know how to be manipulative, although they manage to do it in the nicest way. To sum up, the Libra baby likes to talk, loves to socialize, and is a splendid (and even-handed) addition to any play group. Let the games begin!

Early Libra: September 23 to October 2

Libra is the sign of grace, beauty and harmony, and these kids naturally embody all of these qualities. Dimples are a dead giveaway of this sign, as are long lush eyelashes, even for the boys. It's a social sign, and these tots don't like to be alone for too long. Just being with you helps to keep her calm and happy. She'll be popular at school and will always be busy with friends, sports and social activities. With Venus in perfectionist Virgo, your little one will always strive to be the best at what she does.

Mid Libra: October 3 to 12

Venus, the planet of art and creativity rules Libra, and these kids will display a natural flair for art and music. Introduce finger-paints, clay or crayons early on and see what masterpieces your little artist can create. She'll have strong opinions about what she wants to wear, and will probably be the best-dressed third grader in school! This great taste carries on through high school, and she could easily end up in a career in the arts.

Late Libra: October 13 to 22

These babes have a sweet and loving disposition (most) of the time. As long as her environment is calm and loving, so is she. Because Libra is the sign of the scales, your youngster will always see both sides of a situation, making decision-making a very long process (this is why Librans are notorious for being late). With Venus in Libra, she'll be an expert negotiator. Don't be surprised if you find yourself shaking your head, wondering how she got you to agree to that large allowance increase. Smart, classy and social, politics or mediation could be in her future.
