Libra Sun Sign

Libra is all about harmony and balance. They instinctively understand the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires. They're usually fair and willing to meet the people half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and socially aware, they do all they can to avoid conflict and discord. They express a spirit of cooperation and compromise and often achieve through charm and discreetness what is hard or impossible to achieve by a direct, strong-willed approach.

However, Libra can spend too much time and energy trying to get along with others and please them. They can be too dependent on others' approval and opinions. It's hard for Libra to act without getting advice and feedback from others, making it sometimes difficult for them to make decisions. They also prefer sharing and doing things with others rather than on their own. They don't like being alone.

Libra puts a lot of stock in fairness, equality, and balance, both in their personal life and out in the world. If they argue about anything, it's often about something they feel is unfair and unbalanced. They believe in moderation in all things, avoiding any kind of extremism.

Libra needs beautiful, harmonious surroundings and have a natural sense of artistic style and grace. This is usually reflected in their dress and in their home. Everything must be aesthetically pleasing and appropriate.

Relationships are like an art to Libra, one that requires time, attention, and creative effort. They have a strong need for one-to-one relationships and invest a great deal of energy in personal love. They're very idealistic and romantic about marriage. They seek a partner who is an intellectual equal and able to relate on a mental, physical, and emotional level. They make a thoughtful, considerate friend or lover. They enjoy the traditional symbols of love such as courtship, flowers, and love notes. They appreciate a subtle, polished partner, someone who is never crude, boring, or blunt.

Career, reputation, and public image are very important to Libra. They have a strong desire to be influential or make their mark on the world. Their ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for their unique effort and gifts. They may undervalue the inner side of life.

Libra finds it fulfilling working as a counselor, advisor, consultant, or negotiator or in an artistic field such as design or photography. They are natural salespeople and make excellent ambassadors, customer service representatives, and hospitality hosts.
