Libra is the sign of balance, but that quality is often missing from your own budget. Your sign loves luxury, and you have a habit of overindulging on beautiful things. You love to pamper yourself and spoil your friends and family. For Libra, life is all about other people, and you're big on sharing.
So how can you remain generous without putting yourself in the poorhouse? Team up with people who balance you out — like frugal earth signs Virgo, Taurus or Capricorn. Co-invest or create a prosperity group that meets monthly (at a beautiful but affordable teahouse) to support each other's dreams. Libras don't do well with deprivation. Consider working with a financial coach. Think of it as pampering yourself to "indulge" in the services of a financial planner who will nurture you, and help you build a secure financial future.
Your concern for appearances is a pitfall. You always want people to think you're doing well, even when you're struggling. This can sink you deeper into debt; you'll pay for dinner when you can't afford it, or keep an expensive rent just to live in the best part of town. Find a graceful way to say your least favorite word: "No." Or, simply scout out some elegant but lower-priced hangouts, restaurants and activities. Factory outlet shops were made for you, since Libra can be a label snob. You live each day as a special occasion, and with a little creativity, you can keep the spirit of celebration without blowing your life savings on the party.
