Libra, My Birthday Month

Libra, the seventh sign of the zodiac, applies to individuals born between September 23 and October 22. Represented by the Scales, it is the only inanimate symbol in the zodiac, which reflects Libra’s lifelong quest for balance, harmony, and cosmic justice.

As a Cardinal Air sign ruled by Venus, Libras combine sharp intellectual curiosity with a deep love for art, beauty, and social connection.


⚖️ Core Personality Profile

  • The Diplomat: Libras are natural peacemakers. They excel at seeing multiple perspectives, diffusing tension, and ensuring everyone in a room feels heard and comfortable.
  • Aesthetic Lovers: Ruled by Venus, they have an exceptional eye for design, fashion, and symmetry. They are deeply affected by their environment and require curated, beautiful spaces to feel truly at peace.
  • Intellectual & Curious: As an Air sign, their energy is highly mental. They thrive on stimulating debates, good books, and rich, informative conversations.
  • Relationship-Oriented: Libras view life through the lens of partnership. They hate being alone and use their relationships as a mirror to better understand their own identity.

🌟 Strengths & Positive Traits

  • Fair-Minded: Driven by a strong moral compass, they actively champion equality and fight against injustice.
  • Charming & Sociable: Armed with immense tact and charisma, they can navigate almost any social circle effortlessly.
  • Analytical: Before making a move, they meticulously weigh the pros and cons of every scenario to find the most balanced outcome.
  • Cooperative: They thrive in collaborative settings and excel at mediating workplace or family disputes.

⚠️ Weaknesses & Shadow Traits

  • Chronic Indecision: Because they see value in all perspectives, making absolute choices—even small ones—can completely paralyze them.
  • Conflict-Avoidant: To preserve external harmony, they will actively suppress their true convictions, which can sometimes make them appear insincere or superficial.
  • People-Pleasing: Their deep desire to be universally adored can cause them to over-compromise their boundaries to keep others happy.
  • Prone to Grudges: Because they avoid direct confrontation, they tend to quietly internalize resentments when their idealistic expectations of people aren’t met.

Welcome to my site! After graduating in Computing in 1990, I accepted a position as a programmer at a Runcorn based software house specialising in electronic banking software, namely sp/ARCHITECT-BANK on Tandem Computers (now HPE NonStop). This was before the internet became more prevalent and so the notion of enabling desktop access to company accounts for inter-account transfers and book keeping was still quite a cutting edge idea (and smartphones only ever hinted at in Space 1999). The company was called The Software Partnership (which was taken over by Deluxe Data in 1994). I spent 5 years in Runcorn developing code for SP/ARCHITECT for various banks like TSB, Bank of Scotland, Rabobank and Girofon (Denmark) to name but a few. I then moved onto a software house in Salford Quays for further bank facing projects. After a further 23 years in the IT industry and now a Senior IT Project Manager (both Agile and Waterfall delivery), I thought I would echo out my Career Profile in this corner of the internet for quick and easy access.
