SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22
CARDINAL AIR SIGN
RULING PLANET: VENUS
COLOR: Baby Blue
KEYWORDS: Balance, Diplomacy, Relationship
Librans are very diplomatic, charming, affectionate, and refined- with a need to be popular and to keep the peace. As an air sign, they tend to have a light, friendly demeanor. As the scale of the Zodiac, Librans are always trying to balance, to see issues from all sides, and to be fair.
Ruled by Venus, Librans are sociable, elegant, with an eye for beauty and luxury. They love color, some form of artistic expression and having a nice home. Aesthetics are important! The ultimate hosts, Librans love gatherings and always appreciate gifts- candy, flowers or little luxuries will do (given with love and affection, of course).
Happy Birthday, Librans! This recipe is for you: A social, elegant Raspberry Financier (Tea cake). A perfectly light but deliciously attractive dessert to be served at your next dinner or tea party while you’re gathering with loved ones. If you do like tea, try a soft black tea, like this one. It’s excellent for kidneys, which is an important body part for Librans.
Make sure to add flowers to your table, like September Aster flowers or October Marigold flowers. A lovely gift, would be something in sapphire… a little luxury like a great pair of earrings, like these. Keep surrounded by beautiful things and positive people, take a break from the balancing act and enjoy your time.

Tip: Beating egg whites is key in this recipe, if it’s a humid day you may not get the best peaks, so keep that in mind.
These are delicious with some tea or coffee… or just your hand. The raspberry gives a light sweetness and the browned butter mixed with the almond is somehow delicate AND rich at the same time. The whipped egg whites add a lightness to these little beauties that you cannot match with a regular batter.
I’ve been inspired by a few financier recipes in the past, but by Dagmar’s Kitchen recipe especially, the method of the vanilla bean to the browned butter makes these extra special. I’ve adapted to my taste and made these numerous times… they are always a hit! Hope you love them too.
