The Atypical Libra
Not all Libras will conform to the typical Libra profile. A Libra whose rising sign is in Virgo, for example, will be very different from one who has Sagittarius rising. A Libra with Virgo rising is more likely to prefer solitary intellectual pursuits and be interested in health and nutrition, whereas with Sagittarius rising, there is more of a focus on travel and sociable activities.
A Libra with Gemini or Aquarius rising will probably be drawn to gadgets and technology, while a Libra with Taurus rising is likely to show strong interest in design and gourmet food. Pisces or Leo rising can give Libra a creative flair, whereas with Cancer rising, Libra talents may be focused on the home rather than other environments. Capricorn rising will create an interest in classic or status items, whereas Scorpio rising inclines a Libra toward high-intensity pastimes.
