September 23 to October 23. Air sign. Cunning players who may talk you into helping eliminate your own pieces.
It surprises people that a sign ruled by Venus produces cunning chess players, but some Libras plan the entire game in advance. They may look relaxed and laid back and still be ruthless, quietly dismantling a defense and positioning their own pieces for maximum impact.
The standing challenge is indecision, in chess as in everything else. Opponents often find themselves guiding a Libra through their own game because the player cannot settle on a move. The desire for balance can be deceptive, since chess is also where the pent up aggression goes.
Libra players typically start around age seventeen and continue for about eighteen years. They prefer a fast game and are strongest in the middle game. Chess clubs get joined for the social side more than the chess, and postal chess is rarely played.
They favor the queen and knight, and the knight often becomes the piece of choice. They fear losing their own pieces and being outmatched.
Play on the indecision. Force them to abandon their prepared plan and contemplate a new plan of attack, which is where the hesitation costs them. Do not read the relaxed manner as harmless. Not every Libra is timid, and the offensive ones trade and sacrifice with ease.
Two Libra players are not the same player. The rising sign changes the piece preferences, the temperament, and the way the game is lost. AstroChess breaks Libra down across all twelve Sun and Ascendant combinations, which is where the reading gets specific enough to use against someone.
