Libras are the charmers of the Zodiac, and they thrive by being in relationship with others. As an air sign, they use logic and information to navigate connecting to other people. With an eye for aesthetics, they intuitively know how to create balance and beauty in all things. 

Libra is one of the Zodiac’s four cardinal signs that shift us from one season into the next. Libra season falls on September 22nd and goes through October 23rd. The date aligns with the Autumn Equinox when we experience equal hours of day and night. As summer comes to a close and we welcome the cooler fall months, this is a time of harvest and connection. Libra expresses its cardinal energy by initiating balance and connection with others. If they sense something is off kilter, they must take it upon themselves to achieve equilibrium. 

Ruled by Venus, Libra has an eye for the aesthetic. They have a deep appreciation for artistic expression on an intellectual level. Additionally, Libras take on all the relational aspects of Venus, surrounding themselves with a menagerie of friends and lovers. With an intoxicating Venusian flair, they charm and flirt their way through life’s experiences. 

A well-expressed Libra is diplomatic and fair. They naturally understand how to consider everyone’s thoughts and feelings. These people genuinely love connecting with others and make excellent conversationalists.  

When Libra is in its lower expression, the native can be indecisive and a bit of a pushover. People pleasing and failing to put their wants and needs over the needs of others is something they might struggle with. Not wanting to engage in conflict, these Libras may attempt to manipulate others into giving them what they want. 

Love 

Libras love being in romantic relationships. They make doting partners and only see the best in their significant others. With big hearts and a desire to please, Libras love fully and unconditionally. 

Being so social, Libras need to be in relationships with people who won’t take issue with them connecting with others. That said, Libra is least compatible with a sign like Scorpio or Cancer, who may feel insecure about their flirtatious behavior. Meanwhile, Libra might feel held back or even suffocated by Cancer and Scorpios need to hold them close. 

Libras are most compatible with the air signs Gemini and Aquarius. Because they aren’t clingy, Libra feels free to be the social butterfly that they are. And these two air signs stimulate Libra’s mind, constantly giving them fun and exciting things to explore and discuss. Libras also get along well with the other Venusian sign Taurus. They both appreciate all the beauty, comfort, and sensuality that life has to offer.
