PERSONALITY

Libra is perhaps the most civilized and well-mannered character of the Zodiac. You are charming, intelligent, kind and mild, and you love beauty and harmony. Although sometimes you might be thoughtless, flirtatious and shallow, and also inconstant, indecisive, impatient, conventional and shy.  You also have a tendency towards gambling and gossiping.

You are a good critic and you make fair and well-reasoned decisions. And when you have reached a conclusion, no one can make you change your mind. You are well balanced and diplomatic and you have an even temperament, with a strong sense of justice. You are very sensitive to other people’s needs, and you have a fantastic, almost subconscious ability of understanding other people’s feelings. You are very social and you always like having people around you. You are a good friend and you detest cruelty, evil, rawness and conflict. You always try your best to find compromises and to co-operate with everyone around you. Your mind is artistic rather than intellectual.

PROFESSIONS

You might be an excellent diplomat, administrator, lawyer, antiquity dealer, civil servant or banker. You might also be successful in fashion or as an artist, composer, critic, writer, interior designer or social worker, and you have good opportunities of being successful in the entertainment business.

RELATIONSHIPS

You have a deep understanding of your partner’s needs, and you try to solve conflicts by compromise. You are very romantic, and sometimes emotional. Your marriage is most often happy and successful.

You are most compatible to

Aries – This has good opportunity of being a warm and love-filled relationship. You complete each other in an excellent way. Aries house great appreciation towards your passionate and emotional nature, and may answer your emotionality in a way that you like.

Taurus – You and Taurus both appreciate beauty and the more exclusive things in life, and you might become very happy together.

Gemini – An excellent combination. Your two personalities have got a lot in common, but you are different enough to keep the excitement alive.

Libra – Your two similar personalities will probably lead to a heavenly relationship. There is an immense mutual understanding between you.

Scorpio – There is very strong attraction between you, as well as a shared perception on what is really important in life. 

Sagittarius – Your two personalities share a passion for luxury, beauty and exclusiveness, and your light-hearted and understanding nature is exactly what freedom-loving Sagittarius need to dare engaging emotionally.

Capricorn – There is a good chance for a stable and long-lasting relationship between your two committed personalities. There is small a risk, though, that you as a person in constant need of being shown appreciation, might find Capricorn a bit too restrained and cold.

Aquarius – A great combination. Both you and Aquarius love beauty and being surrounded by good friends. You are good at handling Aquarius’s unpredictability.

You are not as compatible to

Cancer – Cancer likes your peace-loving and conflict-avoiding side, and you appreciate Cancer’s loyalty and generosity. But your freedom-loving and extrovert nature and your great demand for attention risks to be too much for Cancer.

Leo – Both of you houses great appreciation for luxury and glamour, and you are both very artistic. A warning must be issued, however, that Leo’s restlessness, emotionality and constant need for flattering will get your on the nerves after a while.

Virgo – You have got a very hard time standing criticism, and criticise is exactly what Virgo does. You are all too easygoing for Virgo’s pedantic nature.

Pisces – There is a strong attraction between you. However, you are all too social and restless for fastidious and shy Pisces, who wants to keep you to itself, and there is a lot of potential for jealousy.
