☽ Libra: In Depth ☾

Planet: Venus
Element: Air
Symbol: Scales

Libras are talkative, cheerful people who enjoy the finer side of life and balanced friendships. Being ruled by Venus (just like Taurus), Libra appreciates luxury and beauty. They are often keen, stylish people, with the women especially being drawn to the glamour and perfection of makeup art and designer clothing. They are hard-workers, showing up for work every day, and sometimes even having more than one job to pay for their love for comforts and materialism. Libra is also usually very chatty, reveling in social harmony and satisfaction of a good party or get-together. They are normally respectful, upbeat, and friendly and are often well-liked by their peers. As an air sign, they enjoy conversation of all types and most likely have a vast connection of friends of all walks of life.
As a friend, Libra is fun, fair, and a great listener. Although don't expect them to help you make any important decisions! The sign of the Scales often has trouble making their own life decisions as they can see from a birds-eye point of view the pros and cons of every situation. Other than that, Libras are great conversationalists and are a lot of fun at social events. They like balanced friendships, so the etiquette of giving and receiving is very crucial to them. If they loan you money they expect it back, if they do you a favor they expect one of you in return, if you help them out they'll help you out, and so on. If you anger a Libra it may be hard to tell because they may come off passively or passive-aggressive depending on the situation. They don't like upsetting the social harmony between people and they don't like doing things that may lead to unforeseen consequences so they make not speak up when angry or hurt. It is best to watch your actions and apologize outright than wait for them to approach you. Another thing is that in situations that call for emotion, they may appear distant or purposely uninvolved (an air sign trait!).
As a lover, Libra is tricky to pin down being an air sign and usually a well-liked member of any social group. They are also not very forward when they like someone (again, not wanting to upset the balance!) and may wait for that person to approach them. This also counts as a life decision for them and they could have trouble being decisive about and in a relationship for fear it may be the wrong choice. However, when a Libra is in love, they are very graceful and loving. They are admirably sophisticated and prefer giving and receiving nice dates and nice presents. They may spoil their partner a little bit too. They like communication without argument, and as stated earlier they may not be up front when things bother them. They shy away from emotional conflict as it is hurtful and sometimes unfair. All in all, Libra is definitely a romantic and a real smooth-talker, and you may even be surprised at what type of passionate intimacy this air sign is hiding behind their stylish, modest, and cultured outer shell.
As an employee, Libra is great. These signs rarely take a day off work because they appreciate getting paid. They work hard and they do not complain when things aren't going their way. They might adopt a self-righteousness due to how hard they work without complaining. Their love for chatting is occasionally a hindrance to their work performance as they can get side-tracked easily catching up with a loyal customer or a favorite coworker, but it's forgivable due to their ability to charm clientele and higher-ups. They are great with people and have boundless social energy to spare so they may be good in customer service positions. Again their ability with people together with their love for balance, equality, and justice can serve them well in the fields of law and humanitarian efforts. Libras who are more inclined to image and beauty are great employees in cosmetology, fashion, and health.
