Libra represents the Air element. It is a sign that is more extroverted and active. If the first half of the zodiac was concerned with the development of the self, the second half deals with the relation of self to others. This is especially true for Libra.

The Sign
Libra, the Scales, is the sign of harmony and justice. Libra people are committed to the principles of fairness and equality.  When scales are out of balance, Librans feel compelled to right them. Librans have a talent for emotional distance--as their sign denotes. It is the zodiac's only inanimate symbol. Librans are at once involved and objective.

Positive Sides
Librans are emotionally rich, gifted with tact and delicacy, and skilled at making and keeping friends. Because they are wonderfully careful not to harm or give offense, they invite confidence and trust. Charming themselves, Librans value charm in others. Librans have a magnetism attached to them that is devastatingly enduring, even for the enemy. Librans value solitude as an opportunity to gain a perspective on the past as well as the present. Librans are natural debaters and have a keen base on logics.

Negative Sides
While fully evolved Librans are judicious, immature ones are judgmental. A fondness for meddling can make Librans a source of irritation to their friends. Librans display great certitude when it comes to telling other people how to behave. Unfortunately, they are not as certain of their own paths. Vacillation is probably Librans' greatest fault. The scales after all, have two sides, and Librans always seem beset by the tug of opposites.

The Ruler
Libra represents the Air element. It is a sign that is more extroverted and active. For Venus-inspired Libra, beauty, balance and harmony are important. There is a great need to share, to be fair and impartial.

Compatible With
Gemini and Aquarius.

Friendship
Librans are desirable friends for almost any sign. They provide emotional and social support. Yet in their own case, Librans are very vulnerable. They are so eager for friendship, and their appetite for involvement is so vast, that the slightest rebuff can cause them great hurt. Librans who are out of balance need love so badly that they may choose any relationship, whether it be destructive or detrimental, rather than be alone. Librans were the creators of romance and they have a natural instinct of love making. They go long ways to find their love and often succeed in their quest.
