Libra energy is the urge to UNITE. Their desire is to relate harmoniously with others through marriage and partnership, with a preference for unconditional acceptance or response. Libra’s nature is diplomatic, compassionate, attentive, appreciative, attractive, cooperative, considerate, compromising. Libras are motivated by the need for balance and union.

Libra is cooperative and charming with strong social skills, diplomacy and social grace. Highly artistic, they have an eye for beauty and aesthetics. Libra’s can be indecisive because they try to consider both sides of a situation and seek fairness, justice, and equality. As peace lovers, they often “sit on the fence” in lieu of making a decision that would offend or upset anyone. Their basic need is to achieve balance and maintain equilibrium in all things. Libras are gifted as artists, mediators and facilitators and are generally easy to get along with.

An out-of balance Libra may have problems making decisions or communicating what needs to be said in a relationship. A lesson they must learn is that living under the belief that “peace at all costs” or “don’t rock the boat” will help them find harmony is not valid. When they discover that speaking their truth, even though it will rock the boat, creates greater harmony in the long run they are much more content. Where Libra resides in your chart is where you seek balance.
