Libra (♎︎) Latin for "scales", is the seventh astrological sign in the zodiac. It spans 180°–210° celestial longitude. The Sun transits this sign on average between September 22 and October 23. The symbol of the scales is based on the Scales of Justice held by Themis, the Greek personification of divine law and custom. She became the inspiration for modern depictions of Lady Justice. The ruling planet of Libra is Venus. Libra is the only zodiac sign that is represented by an object; with the other eleven signs represented by either an animal or mythological character.


libra in friendships


Libras have absolutely no problem making friends, given that they're the friendliest sign in the zodiac.


Libras are adept at connecting to others quickly and love getting to know people. They also love socializing, entertaining, connecting friends to each other, and of course having parties and get-togethers. Libra also has a penchant for the spotlight and loves that bringing friends together for an event can help him or her shine, too.


This sign is also averse to conflict and finds it tough to be honest if they disagree with someone. They prefer to pull back. But when Libras do make a close friend, they keep that friend for life. They're not judgmental about others, collecting a diverse set of friends from different life circumstances and situations. For a Libra, there's always room for one more.



libra in love & romance


Libra individuals are ruled by Venus so they are a romantic idealist who usually wander for their ideal match. You are very inclined to romantic relationships so you may find a boyfriend or girlfriend for yourself at an early age. But, you wait for long years until you find the right partner for you to move to the next level of commitment. You appreciate all the finer things related to your loved ones and possess high standards. You are very affectionate with your lovers and very open and articulate when delivering compliments to them.


Libras are deeply and unconditionally in love with love. They are either in love or craving for love. When a Libra is in love, they are deeply and genuinely in it. They will give their partner all the love, care and affection. The only one problem with a Libra is that, they fall in love easily without even knowing the person so well with whom they are falling in love with.


Libras are givers, not takers, which probably sounds great to you if you're dating a Libra! The problem is, they sacrifice their own needs and wishes in order to keep you happy and keep your relationship running smooth. They forget about themselves which, over time, can build into resentment for you and your relationship.


Speaking of balance, you'll need to manage your expectations in your romantic relationships, Libra. You love to love, and that can make you so idealistic that your expectations of your partner or of the romance in your relationship become unrealistic. Don't set yourself up for disappointment.
