Libra – character in love
Libra is a cardinal Air sign ruled by Venus. It is the sign of partnership – relationships are its natural environment, and harmony and beauty are the values it seeks in every area of life.
Libras are tactful, fair and have a lot of personal charm, thanks to which they rarely lack admirers. They like a comfortable, beautiful life and people they can talk to about anything.
How does Libra love?
Libra in love is romantic, attentive and full of grace. It knows how to create an atmosphere in which the partner feels appreciated. Its weakness is indecision: it can weigh the pros and cons for a long time, and in conflicts it would rather give way than say what it really thinks.
In relationships Libras need a balance between closeness and social life. Libra’s most important lesson is to answer the question of what it really wants from a partner – not just what the partner wants from it.

Libra connects most easily with Gemini and Aquarius. Relationships with Aries, Leo, Libra and Sagittarius also tend to go very well.

Libra and Libra
