♎ LIBRA
(September 23-October 22)
If I could give an award for Most Curious Genius in the World, it would be to Libran author and naturalist Diane Ackerman. She would also get my prize for Most Voracious Learner and Best Questioner and Most Exuberant Seeker and Searcher. "To hear the melody," she writes, "we must hear all the notes." In response to the question, "What is life?" she offers this answer: "corsages and dust mites and alligator skin and tree-frog serenades and foreskins and blue hydrangeas and banana slugs and war dances and cedar chips and bombardier beetles." In accordance with current astrological omens, I encourage you to be like Diane Ackerman in the coming weeks.

Below are responses to the topic "How to Be a Libra."
1. You are a translator. Among your life purposes are:
• to serve as an intermediary between disparate elements;
• to lubricate and facilitate conversations between people who might not otherwise understand each other;
• to find common ground between apparent contradictions;
• to weave paradoxes into amalgamations;
• to never give up on finding the most elegant way to understand a problem.
2. Find beauty in literally everyone and everything. Seriously. There is no good reason you can't or shouldn't do this.
3. Know what it takes to please everyone, even if you don't always choose to please everyone. Know how to be what everyone wants you to be when they need you to be it, even if you fulfill that wish only now and then.
4. Learn to argue with skill and élan. To nurture your vitality, engage in regular debate that amuses and educates you.
5. More than any other sign, you can tolerate and even thrive amidst ambiguities and grey areas.
6. Creating aesthetically pleasing environments is crucial to being a Libra.
7. Do not give others all that you have and, in the process, forget to keep something for yourself.
8. Be reverent and respectful about the language you write and speak and think. Understand that the way you use words will make or break your power to fulfill your goals.
9. So much about being a Libra is the search for interesting stimulation. You are driven to find people, places, ideas, and things that invigorate you with ever-fresh thoughts and feelings.
