edit this General

Libra is a very sociable sign. It is quite concerned with its social environment, and usually seeks to bring some balance into it. It is somewhat intellectual in demeanor, and surely does not like boring people. They have a natural flirtatious character, especially when Mercury is also in this sign.

They like to see fair play, and usually do not take well to displays of unkindness. Like Taurus, it has refined senses which usually do not take well to unsightly things. In a difficult chart it may repress much disagreeable content out of the limelight. It usually has a rather snazzy appearance.

Libra tends to be quite indecisive, often taking on too many considerations unto its scales, and often postponing making their decision or taking action. A strong Mars may assuage this with some restless impulsivity.

They usually like open, fun characters which are not disagreeable. They themselves usually try their best not to be disagreeable, unforunately this may sometimes involve bending the truth. In romance, looks usually takes on great importance.

Libra can sometimes reflect other people's behavior, and although it does not usually like conflict, can find itself acting in a way it doesn't like around negative people, often rendering it extremely unhappy about this.

They can be quite considerate, unless Mars is prominent which can make it only apparently so or make the individual use diplomacy as a tool to get what it wants. This sign tends to love itself, and can have somewhat of a supercilious demeanor. It can be a bit too delicate and take things to heart. These can be a bit silly sometimes, and are susceptible to kitsch.

Libra is usually an open-minded sign, willing and wanting to listen to what others have to say.

edit this Zodiacal comparison

edit this with Aries

There is a naturally high-strung 180 degree angle between these signs.

Unlike Aries, Libra is much more considerate and fair. It can be attracted to Aries' firm confidence, enthusiastic and assertive character, but its inconsiderate, infantile and insensitive ways can strain such association, and may become hurtful for Libra. There are often many arguments between these signs in close relationships. Otherwise, Aries can be rather exciting for Libra.

edit this with Leo

Libra often attracts to Leo as it is usually attracted to strong individuals, to balance its own indecisive nature. Libra also usually seeks fun and excitement in its relationships, which Leo can more easily supply. Libra can have a problem with Leo's somewhat selfish demeanor, and may sometimes be embarrassed by certain lacks of manners in Leo's personality. Libra can sometimes be annoyed by Leo's adamant mentality and dominance in decisionmaking. In some instances there may be some issues of trust, as both signs have flirty inclinations. Nevertheless, these signs tend to match up alright.

edit this with Pisces

Although both signs can be quite considerate, Pisces tends to be more self-effacing and passive in the face of many things that would set off Libra. Libra likes Pisces' considerate demeanor, but may be dumbfounded by its puzzling emotional nature. Libra wants to understand people, but these signs seem to have a hard time understanding each other. It may sometimes seem as if they are talking chinese to each other. Nevertheless, there is often something magical in this association, although there may be more fantasy than substance. There is often an issue of decisionmaking between them, as neither sign is especially decisive.
