Libra Relationships

Libra-Aries

The great life lesson between you is the dynamic between being a separate and independent individual and living as a cooperative team.  These are two sides of the same coin.  Libra and Aries have much to teach each other.  It can be a happy match, but will take a “live and let live” attitude on both sides.  Aries is very direct and sure of themselves.  They tend to take action without considering another’s feelings. Libra wants a close mental and romantic connection where everything is shared.  Libra can see Aries as selfish and inconsiderate.  Aries can see Libra as inflexible and simply irritating.  It can work if there are other planetary ties between the charts.  Charming and social Libra can introduce Aries to a new circle of friends and activities.  Aries can encourage Libra to be braver and help them make decisions.  It can be a great deal of fun.

Libra-Taurus

Venus rules both signs and this can be one of the happiest and most pleasant of matches.  Taurus will help Libra get in touch with the more sensual side of life. Libra brings a happy social element into the Taurian routine.  Libra sometimes gets stuck making decisions, but never Taurus.  It will be important to have the same interests and values. You are both rather inflexible so it’s best to get along from the beginning.  This can be a very romantic match.  Libra must be sure this particular Taurus likes to talk and is willing to be a partner rather than always go his own way. Both signs are very peace loving, but neither is a pushover.  Taurus can be “bullheaded” and Libra can get fussy about what isn’t fair in a relationship.  It will be important to respect your differences.

Libra-Gemini

There is a terrific compatibility between Gemini and Libra. There is a strong mental-emotional connection that can deepen into true love. Friendly and social, you both enjoy visiting and spending time with friends. Libra needs a peaceful and pleasant live. Gemini is more adventurous and curious. Both signs have great personal charm and are easy companions. Gemini tends to scatter their energy more and ultimately Libra will take the lead in the relationship. Gemini may be surprised by Libra’s rather rigid sense of what is fair and correct. Libra also has a more difficult time making choice between two options or talking about difficult issues. The “peace at any price” tendency of Libra can mean problems simmer just under the surface. It will be important for Gemini to keep the lines of communication open. This has all the elements of a grand romance.

Libra-Cancer

You both are people who prefer a peaceful and easygoing life style. There can be issues as Libra is much more social and has a powerful sense of what is fair and correct. Cancer approaches things from a much more emotional and self-protective place. Both signs are very strong and like to take the lead. There is the potential for significant conflicts. Because Cancer has difficulty being direct and because Libra is too polite unsettled differences can simmer until there is a big fight and hurt feelings. This is a match that will be improved by additional planetary aspects that are more compatible. It will be important for you to keep the lines of communication open. Be willing to see things from the other’s point of view.

Libra-Leo

This is one of those highly harmonious mixes that can start with an instant attraction across a crowed room.  Sunny Leo finds the gentle charm of Libra quite beguiling.  Libra enjoys the playful and outgoing side of Leo.  It is a case of mutual respect and admiration.  Libra needs a companion and Leo needs an audience.  I don’t mean that Leo is all ego, but they do need positive and sincere feedback in order to be at their best.  Libra may be a bit put off by Leo’s occasional tantrums. It is important to know these are as short lived as a summer storm.  If you let Leo vent, peace will soon be restored.  There may be some negotiation necessary for long-term success. Libra needs to take the lead and Leo is best at providing a solid and loyal foundation. Never forget the little things that declare your love and affection and things will be fine.

Libra-Virgo

This is often a good blend.  Social Libra tends to be more abstract and live in their minds. Virgo brings common sense and a willingness to support the relationship.  Libra sometimes has a difficult time making a decision.  Virgo can be full of good advice. Virgo is a bit reserved and Libra’s friendly and social nature draws them out. Both signs like a peaceful relationship.  Libra is more focused on things being fair.  Virgo wants the world to live up to very high standards. There can be differences of opinion.  In many ways, Libra is the one who will take the lead.  It is important to keep sharing feelings, ideas and opinions. A willingness to work things out on both sides can lead to lasting success.

Libra-Libra

A match between two Libras can be a marriage made in heaven. You are both social and diplomatic. You can happily be a power couple sharing your interests within a larger community.  Having someone who truly enjoys being in at cooperative partnership helps both sides feel appreciated and at home. You learn more about yourself simply by being in the relationship. There are some challenges that may need to be overcome.  Libra likes to be in control, and is not above manipulation to get it. Setting clear boundaries and areas of responsibility can help prevent resentment that could undermine your happiness. It's also important to say what you really think, even if it ruffles feathers. Acceptance and compromise open the door to deep intimacy.

Libra-Scorpio

This is not always the easiest match for a long-term commitment.  It can be a wonderful friendship.  Feisty and stubborn Scorpio can be very irritating to Libra with their intense emotions and secretive ways.  Libra needs to work as a team, and although Scorpio can be very loyal, they tend to be a bit closed and self-sufficient.  The famous sharp tongue of and irritated Scorpio will be very disturbing to peace loving Libra.  If they share Mercury in the same sign, it can mean a fine meeting of the minds.  For this to succeed, Libra is going to have to let Scorpio set the tone and basically be the boss.  Libra can bring a welcome lightness and social awareness to the sometimes-brooding Scorpio.  Don’t jump into this.  Be sure you know each other well before you take it to a deeper level.

Libra-Sagittarius

This can be a very happy partnership.  You are both outgoing and have strong opinions.  You can be excellent dating partners or traveling companions.  Sagittarius helps Libra see the world in new ways.  Libra’s gentle and funny style is comfortable and welcome to adventurous Sag.  The big issue here can be Libra’s need to settle down and the Sagittarius love of personal freedom.  It may not seem fair that such a great relationship should not be enough for happy and bouncy Sagittarius. Remember that the Archer loves the chase.  He/she will be most interested if there is an element of uncertainty in the relationship.  Libra needs to be a bit less exclusive than is natural.  You can be very helpful and supportive of each other.  Sagittarius will tell you exactly what they think. Libra tends to avoid confrontation.  It will be important to be honest.

Libra-Capricorn

This is not an easy combination.  You rarely see two people of these signs finding each other across a crowed room.  Even on a good day, with compatible sexual aspects, this is a bit stressful.  Capricorn likes to be the boss.  Libra wants a peaceful and equal relationship….and to take the lead!  Capricorn may seem rather selfish and cold hearted to Libra.  It isn’t’ true.  Capricorn has a tender heart and terrific sense of humor.  They are just very responsible and slow to warm up.  Libra is much more like a butterfly…but an iron butterfly at that.  Capricorn may not realize how strong willed Libra really is.  It can work, but will take lots of checking in and a habitual willingness to compromise.  This will not be easy for either person.  I would suggest you pass on this one.

Libra-Aquarius.

This is a wonderful meeting of the minds. Libra can bring an appreciation of harmony and beauty into the life of Aquarius.  Aquarius is full of new ideas and plans.  They can be a true friend to Libra and give lots of helpful advice. You are both very friendly and social people.  It is important, however, to understand each other’s differences.  Aquarius is rather stubborn and needs some independent time alone. It is important for Libra to realize this is not because there is anything wrong with the relationship.  Libra needs to feel part of a close and equal partnership. Aquarius will need to be more generous about doing things in partnership. Taking the time to do romantic things together will enrich the relationship.

Libra-Pisces

Unless there are other strong points of connection, this can be a difficult combination.  Libra is more of a realist and although this Cardinal Air sign is pleasant and easygoing, life with a Pisces will be confusing and may bring out the steely and unbending quality in Libra.  Pisces is more imaginative and understands things without words.  Libra needs to be out and about with friends and an active social life. Pisces is a bit of a recluse and needs much more time alone or far from the crowd.  There can be conflicts over what do together.  Pisces will find they are doing more of the compromising in these relationships.  You both do like a peaceful and polite relationship.  It is possible you will neglect to ask for what you need or say what you really think. Pisces can become a martyr and Libra will feel they have been treated unfairly. Be cautious about getting too involved without there being other harmonious aspects.
