​Like Taurus, Libra is ruled by Venus and has the same peace-loving nature as its sister sign. Libra strives for harmony and balance in everything and likes to weigh up the pros and cons before committing to this or that. This constant need to evaluate and deliberate can often mean that they’re unable to decide on anything at all. Hence their reputation for indecisiveness.

In their quest for peace, Libra will avoid conflict at all costs, making them exceptionally diplomatic and tactful when dealing with people. And although this can sometimes make for someone who’s reluctant to take a side or a stand that would rather sit on the fence, it does make these people undeniably charming and likeable.

This innate charm, coupled with an acute sense of refinement and evident intellect makes for quite the social delight. Certainly, one you could take home to meet mamma. Libra is the natural ruler of the 7th house so relating to people is in their DNA.

In fact, so important is the art of relating that finding the perfect partner is the number one priority in Libra’s lifetime. That said, their indecision and fickle nature can make it difficult for them to sustain a relationship for the long haul.

Libra has a deep appreciation for aesthetics, and desire to surround themselves with beautiful people and things. They have impeccable taste, a love of the arts and have been known to have their heads easily turned by a pretty face. 

 In a romantic sense, Libra can fall in love quite quickly and their desire for balance and harmony means that for the most part, they’ll be agreeable and keen to keep the peace. However, it’s also common for Libra to fall out of love just as quickly if their sense of equilibrium is disturbed or they feel that something is missing from their idea of the perfect partnership.

 Like all air signs, intelligence is an important factor to Libra so their ideal partner will not only have to appeal to their sense of aesthetics they’ll have to keep them mentally stimulated too.
