Libra is the only zodiac symbol that's neither animal nor human -- but surely that doesn't make you any less human. In fact, Libra is among the most sociable of the signs. As scales of old were really "balances," so to do you seek balance in all that Libra does. You respond to situations with grace as Libra attempts to put others at ease. Artistically, Libra tries to balance form, content, colors and elements, and for this reason can be drawn toward creative endeavors.
The greatest balancing act is between self and others, and it is here that many Libras focus their energy. Here, in the realm of interpersonal relationships, you are a champion. Libra know how to be the charming host or hostess. Libra can sense what others want before they ask for it. And you can make the needs of others a higher priority than your own. In fact, Libra is the shuttle diplomats of the zodiac, going back and forth between the extremes until a solution is negotiated.
The Libra motto might be "To every action there is an opposite and equal reaction." It is your innate sense of cause and effect that makes you so effective as a strategist. Whether it's playing chess, relationship counseling or civic planning, you know how to be effective while staying in the middle of the road. Your easygoing attitude can serve you and others well, but don't forget that your needs cannot go totally unfulfilled or you won't have anything to give to others.
Element: Air
The astrological element of air represents movement. And the most efficient movement between two points is often a thought. Air signs are thinkers. They emphasize the intellect over other functions. With active minds and a good command of language, the air signs are the natural born communicators. They can be light and breezy as the breath of spring, but their words can also carry the power of a gale force wind.
Seventh House: Partners
If the First House represents the self, the Seventh House opposite it, represents the other. This can be a business partner, a spouse or any other type of relationship amongst equals. Most often, this is where we look to see how you relate to others in your life.
Key Planet: Venus
Venus is the planet of love and desire. She is in charge of romance and beauty. But Venus isn't only about physical love; she's also symbolic of the ideal love. When we see a beautiful painting or other work or art, Venus is present. She is the beauty of a rose as much as she is the attraction we have to someone we love. As the key planet of Libra, Venus is about the perception of beauty as an ideal. Here, she is the proper blend of colors, the right mix of music or the perfect poetic description of love, itself.
Your Biggest Strength: Your grace and charm when helping others
Your Potential Weakness: Forgetting to take care of your own needs
Compatibility Between the Sheets
Beautiful, diplomatic and artistic, Libra wants sex to not only feel good, but look good too. Leo can transform even the most mundane of experiences into a legendary good time. Leo gives Libra an affair to remember, creating romantic encounters filled with drama, intensity and excitement. Libra loves Leo's expansive approach to love, and is turned on by the Lion's willingness to do almost anything to please and entertain in the bedroom.
Libra relationships
A Libra woman's cool exterior hides a passionate soul -- and men enjoy the challenge of getting past your seeming detachment to uncover it. Like Libras Brigitte Bardot and Gwyneth Paltrow, you're often downright gorgeous, and know how to use your feminine charms to great but understated effect. Men feel manly around you. And, you instinctively know how to turn your guy on by, for example, wearing silk negligees or gold stiletto heels -- and nothing else -- to bed.
Ruled by Venus, you make an art form of being a woman. You're skilled at dressing to enhance your assets and using accoutrements like scented candles and bubbling fountains to beautify your environment. But you've also got an excellent mind and sharp wit that your man enjoys sparring with. Your most appealing feature is your eyes, which are often large and full of light. All it takes for you to draw a man in is to bat those long lashes of yours, and let nature take its course.
