Libra’s Astrology

Zodiac Sign Libra/Native’s Sun is in Libra

What are the basic Libra traits?

In fall when the harvesting has been done, it is a time for union, to come together and celebrate. It is a time of encounters, relationships, partnerships. Libras have good artistic, diplomatic qualities. Justice belongs to Libra. They know beauty and they are good peacemakers because they value and understand social justice. Many of them go into law or on the other hand, because of their artistic abilities, become artists. We find a lot of artists, politicians and diplomats under the Zodiac Sign Libra because both justice and the arts require a sense of harmony, beauty, intellect, balance and subtle refinement, both in theoretical, intellectual professions as well as in artistic fields. Libras are also good at giving advice and have counseling skills. Libra-born people mostly have a very elegant vibe to them. They are refined and do not like vulgar, crude people with no taste and good manners. However, they have to be careful not to become people pleasers or make too many compromises. Libra symbolises relationships, (business) partnerships and marriage. They always want a partner, be it in love or in business. Libra is the mirror. They reflect everything constantly. Libras excel in partnerships and often rely on others, sometimes even too much because they value the opinion of others and are indecisive, sometimes not knowing what to do or where to go. They need the other person in their lives. If they are alone, something vital is missing. Out of all the 12 Zodiac Signs, Libras do not like to be alone the most. Fulfilment comes through partnership with others.

Even though they may often vacillate just as the scales do, they tend to strive for balance, peace, harmony. Through conscious thinking, they try to avoid rash actions and weigh in all the options. This is certainly a sign of high intellect as we find a lot of intellectuals among Libra people. Making decisions however as mentioned is notoriously difficult for them. Because of their deliberation, they often come across as indecisive. The postponement of decisions and uncertainty due to their own indecisiveness is not easy for them and for others around them. Often they stumble over the inability to seize the right moment because they wait too long. When it comes to taking inspired action, Libra will not move alone. They need an extrinsic motivation. They wait until both pans of the scale are in motion. They have the patience to wait politely and patiently until there’s a reason from outside to act and make a decision. Often they wait until the last second when there is no other option than to make a final decision. However when it comes to the arts, beauty and social justice, they are very decisive, opinionated and have an excellent taste in art. Libra-born people also know how to sell themselves and know how to buy things of material value to resell.

Libras can be passive; their attitude lies not in action but in expectation. Libras often want to be carried on hands, to shine in glory with all their beauty. Libras are usually beautiful and charming people. They know the arts and know how to dress, to impress and how to behave. There's a strong desire to please others and sacrifices are made for it. Beauty and the appearance of a person is so important to them. They like to make a good impression and they are usually popular in social and professional circles due to their charm, grace, intellect and manners. They are either prone to be manipulated by people who take advantage of their kindness and need to please others, or they become the manipulators themselves in order to gain something that a Libra values. The vanity and need for admiration can lead to a certain coldness toward others. A deep empathy is rare with Libras as they are often accused of superficiality. Because Libras love harmony in everything but often lack depth, partnerships sometimes do not last a very long time and remain superficial. Libras do not like conflict, they rather avoid it but at the same times are known for their passive-aggressive behaviour. Their ability to mediate and find diplomatic solutions as the person between two fighting parties is a commonly known Libra trait. Compromise and adaptability are their strengths.

Libras don’t want to be overlooked by society. They give where they see lack because they usually cannot exist in a world of disharmony and complaints. They give to less fortunate people as if a law commands them to do so — out of a need for balance. Libras want to be inspired by others in order to create. Beauty and the arts affect them — they want beautiful ideas from their environment to influence them in order to create something to give back to society. Libra seeks to be seen, noticed, and appreciated. It is a light, academic, intellectual overall tendency that they show with subtle artistic inclinations. They move along the paths of life with a great sense of justice. They would never claim something that doesn't rightfully belong to them. So unsurprisingly we find a lot of Libras working in the arts or in the judicial system.
