Character
Libra is a cardinal air sign ruled by Venus, and balance is its guiding theme: fairness, harmony, beauty and good company. Librans are diplomatic, sociable and unwilling to see a conflict go unresolved; they weigh each side carefully and sometimes take a long time to choose. They have a keen aesthetic sense and are often happiest in surroundings that are calm, attractive and shared with others.
Love and relationships
In love Libra is charming, attentive and committed to partnership. It does best when a relationship feels like a team of equals, and it dislikes confrontation so much that it may swallow its own needs to keep the peace. Practising a polite, direct no, and saying what it wants, keeps the balance fair for both people.
Work and money
Libra suits law, mediation, diplomacy, design, fashion, the arts, public relations and any work involving negotiation or collaboration. It is a gracious colleague and a good team-builder. Decisions about money can be slow because it wants every option weighed, so setting a deadline for choosing helps.

Compatible signs
Aquarius, Gemini, Sagittarius and Leo are the traditional matches for Libra: the other air signs, and the two signs of the complementary element that sit 60 degrees away. Air signs share Libra's love of ideas and conversation, and fire signs add the spark that helps it decide. Other cardinal signs bring energy but may challenge Libra's preference for harmony.
