Libra is the 7th sign of the Zodiac and those born under this early-fall sign are known principally for their social and charming nature. Libras love people, parties and laughter. However, those who don’t know them well may describe Libras as materialistic and fickle.
Die-hard romantics, Libras make affectionate partners who will be both accommodating and understanding in all relationships. They are not afraid to publicly display their feelings. Libras are also known as playful, always looking for another fun activity or party. They are generally presentable and good looking and will expect the same from their friends and partners. Looking good is an important trait to Libra who is ruled by Venus – planet of love and beauty.
Represented by the scales of justice, Libra strives for a level head and will often prove to be the diplomat among friends and family. Libra has a strong sense of right and wrong and will use their gift of words to choose the right action in each conflict.
Libra’s biggest downfall is vanity. This can manifest in to being shallow for some Libras and can be attributed to the influence of Venus. As a result, Libras yearn to be the center of attention and will go to great lengths to achieve that goal. They are very sensitive when it comes to criticism, especially as it relates to their appearance, so it is best to tread lightly in this area.
Venus also lends herself towards extravagance. This can turn into materialism in some, but in others it simple means that Libras will spoil those that they love as well as themselves. Female Libras tend to love shopping and males are likely to gamble. As a result, Libras must be careful with their money.
In work, Libras abhor anything physical. This can lead to sloppy tendencies as the thought of “cleaning” is distasteful to Libra. Career-wise, Libra is fit for a desk job. Generally capable of coming up with great ideas, Libras need to be pushed in their implementation. They are capable of a lot, but those around them need to know how to extract that work.
