Charming, friendly, doubtful – these words usually describe the character of people born under the sign of Libra. We tell you more about this zodiac sign.
Since ancient times, people have observed the movement of heavenly bodies and tried to predict future events or the fate of a person by their position. Those born under one zodiac sign were assigned certain character traits, inclinations, and behavior patterns.
The zodiac constellation Libra (Latin Libra) is located between Virgo and Scorpio and contains 83 stars visible to the naked eye.
Interesting fact: The Sun is in the constellation from October 31 to November 22, but in astrology the dates are completely different: from September 23 to October 22. This happened because astrology operates on dates determined 2 thousand years ago, and during this time the constellations managed to shift.

Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac and the only one of the entire circle associated not with the image of an animal or person, but with an inanimate object. Together with Gemini and Aquarius, they belong to the trine of Air. Like Taurus, they are ruled by Venus. Let’s consider what characteristics Libra imparts to a person born under their influence.

Libra character
Born under the auspices of Venus, Libras are sophisticated aesthetes, creators, and possessors of a special view of the world. They are calm, reasonable, diplomatic, and have a keen sense of justice. This is one of the most comfortable zodiac signs to communicate with. Libras often lack self-confidence and determination.
Strengths and weaknesses of Libra
The advantages of Libra include charm, friendliness, sociability, diplomacy, fairness, honesty, tact, creativity, sharp mind, logic, and excellent taste.
They also have disadvantages. These include: inconstancy, indecisiveness, inability to make decisions, fear of making mistakes, isolation from reality, impracticality.
Love and relationships
Libras do not like loneliness; the atmosphere of love and romance is extremely important for them. But choosing a partner becomes a difficult task. The reason for this is both excessive demands and the inherent inability to make decisions. They doubt for a long time, tormenting the person in love with them with anticipation.
They tend to idealize others and then be disappointed. With a partner, Libra fully reveals their romance and sensuality, remains faithful to him, but does not give up flirting. It will not be easy for jealous people with them. Libras will not tolerate consumerism and attempts to bend under themselves – after this they simply leave.
Sex
The craving for harmony and aesthetics is evident even here. For Libra, the atmosphere is very important; they enjoy the beauty of the moment and may refuse sex if they consider the situation inappropriate.
Sex for them is not the satisfaction of physiological needs, but a sensual experience. In bed they are relaxed, ready to experiment and care about the pleasure of the other.
Family and marriage
Libras usually have an idyllic picture of a family in their heads, which they try to bring to life. They are happy to take care of the house and make it cozy. The partner can always count on their care and support. At the same time, Libra does not forget about themselves and their interests, and do not dissolve in another person. It can be difficult for them to get used to their partner, and the first years of marriage can become a real test for a couple.
What kind of parents
Libra is a clear contender for parent of the year. In their upbringing, they masterfully maintain a balance between strictness and the desire to pamper the child, without falling into tyranny or indulgence. Libra treats children with respect, does not shout, does not hurt their self-esteem, tries to solve problems by discussing them and does not forget about personal example.
Friendship
Libras are reliable friends who will always come to the rescue, even to their own detriment. They are good psychologists and can always give good advice if the matter does not concern them. Then their indecision kicks in.
Interests and hobbies
The fickle nature of Libra is manifested in the choice of hobbies. They grab onto one thing or another. Most often, their hobbies are related to art or crafts, for example, music, painting, embroidery. Physical exercises Libra is not too fond of; they usually choose dance or yoga. Women are often interested in fashion and cosmetics. Another passion of Libra can be collecting.
Career and profession
Among Libras, people who work physically are less common than people who work mentally. They often choose creative specialties and become artists, writers, musicians, and fashion designers. Libra’s craving for justice also plays a significant role in choosing a profession: they can choose a career as a lawyer, judge, attorney, politician, or diplomat.
Health
Libra’s weak spots are the kidneys and liver. They often suffer from lower back pain. During difficult periods of life there is a risk of depression.
Compatibility
Libras find a common language best of all with representatives of their native element, Air, or with fire signs. The most harmonious unions are obtained with Gemini, Aquarius, Leo, Sagittarius and Aries. Relationships with earth and water signs are worse.
Libra Man
Men born under the auspices of Libra are kind, charming, friendly and gallant. Sometimes their polite behavior is perceived by others as flirting, even when Libra themselves do not put such a meaning into their actions. Contrary to stereotypes, they are not rakes at all, but faithful partners, romantic, caring and attentive.
Libras value material goods: delicious food, expensive cars, stylish clothes. They are somewhat boastful and do not tolerate criticism well, they love parties and travel. But family harmony is no less important for them. Libras need a partner who will provide support and instill confidence. With such support they can move mountains.
Libra Woman
Refined, romantic, sensual – all this fully applies to Libra women. They know how to impress and win over. At first, they may seem weak, defenseless, sweet – in the spirit of the traditional idea of femininity. Having succumbed to their charms, men do not even notice how obediently they fulfill the whims of their chosen one.
In fact, the Libra woman herself knows how to solve problems and find a way out of difficult situations. The owner of refined taste, she knows how to create an atmosphere of comfort around herself. Such a lady is critical of a potential partner. She cares about external attractiveness and charisma, manners, sense of humor, and intelligence. True, here, as always when making a choice, Libra’s inability to make a decision comes into play. They may doubt for a long time whether a gentleman is right for them or not.
Libra Child
As a child, Libras rarely cause trouble to their parents. As a rule, these are diligent, polite and prudent guys. From an early age they show diplomacy. Libras cannot stand disputes and conflicts and will avoid them at all costs. Rudeness and rudeness unsettle them.
Also, the sense of beauty awakens in them early. Clothes, toys, furniture in the room – even for little Libra it is important to surround themselves with beautiful things, this is their source of joy. But practicality is not their strong point. The Libra child is a dreamer who thinks little about everyday things; reading a book will be a priority for him than washing the dishes.
The main problem of Libra children is their reluctance or inability to make decisions. They may become overly obedient and rely on the opinion of their parents in everything or find a role model on the side, which is also not a good solution. Parents should encourage them to be self-reliant and have independent judgment, the habit of relying on themselves, and listening to their own feelings. This will help you cope with indecision and not fall under the influence of others.
