Libra Traits & Personality

The easy-breezy intellectual romantic, Libra is all about beauty, harmony, romance, and relationships. They love finding the best deal and value for their buck, whether it’s buying something on sale or finding the right people to spend their time with. Libra loves the idea of love itself. They can’t get enough of it.

Because this is the seventh sign of the zodiac, the sun becomes weak here. This means Libra is prone to selling themselves short, people pleasing by putting others before themselves, and foregoing their soul’s purpose in favor of comfort, luxury, and immediate gratification.

Cardinal air is all about moving towards a new idea or connecting with others on a mental level. Because Libra is ruled by the scales, it’s a sign related to trade and commerce. Great businessmen and traders can be found here.

Libra Destiny & Soul Purpose

Libra is here to bring balance to the world. This starts with themselves. Their soul purpose will depend on the house or area of the sky the Sun was in when they were born.

Let’s say it’s in the MC, the tenth house. Libra must bring balance and harmony to their actions in the world and establish a reputation for being fair, objective, and peace-loving. If it’s in the sixth house, Libra must bring balance to one’s health and mediate conflicts between people.

What is Libra Like in Love & Relationships? 

Libras are the hopeless romantics of the zodiac, constantly thinking of the other person’s needs first and foremost. When it comes to sex, it’s a lot like a Hollywood movie romance scene, plenty of foreplay and emotion — the exact opposite of Aries, the sign that’s all about getting their rocks off quick and leaving.

Libra can really offer a lot of balanced perspectives in a relationship. Their partner might get annoyed when Libra plays the devil’s advocate too much and takes the opposite argument just for the sake of the debate.

Libra Soulmate 

A Libra’s soulmate is someone who they can connect to on an intellectual level. It’s not all about the physical for Libra. Among the three air signs, Libra people are the most emotional in their thinking. Aquarius is a great long-term match for Libra.

Both of them care about social justice and living in a fair world and love to bounce ideas off one another. Libra and Gemini can be a great match too. Both of them can have a lot of fun and keep things light. The drawback is that Libra might be looking for a relationship and Gemini just wants to have fun, jumping from one “situationship” to another.

Libra and Aries is a dynamic, sexually-tense match. However, it might be a better fit for short-term relationship. Active fire from Aries and active air Libra join to produce a whirlwind of heat and activity.

Libra Friendships 

It’s all a matter of give and take with Libra friendships. They hate rocking the boat and getting into conflicts with friends. If a friend asks for money, they give what they think is fair and expect to be treated fairly in return. Friends are a huge part of a Libra’s identity and ego.

“Do people like me? What do they think of me,” Libra asks. When it comes to friends and social groups, the best thing to do is to use their social influence or connections to help lead other people, rather than gratify and elevate themselves.
