What Libra is like
Libra wants things fair and lovely. It is diplomatic, graceful and good at seeing every side. That skill makes choices hard. Libra can keep the peace so well that it forgets what it wanted in the first place.
Libra is a cardinal air sign, ruled by Venus. Its symbol is the scales.
Libra in love
In love Libra is a partner by nature. It likes beauty, manners and shared plans. It needs a partner who asks what Libra wants, then waits for the answer.
Libra gets on most easily with the other air signs and with the fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. The opposite sign, Aries, pulls and pushes at once. A real match depends on whole charts: the Moon, Venus and Mars matter as much as the Sun.
Libra at work
At work Libra does well in law, design, diplomacy, mediation and any job built on relationships. It works best in a pair or a small team.
