Libra, born between September 23 and October 22, is the seventh sign of the zodiac and the second air sign. It is ruled by Venus, like Taurus, but Libra expresses Venus through relationships, art and social grace rather than physical comfort. Its symbol, the Scales, is the only non-living symbol in the zodiac – a fitting image for a sign obsessed with balance and fairness.
The art of getting along
Libra has a gift for making people feel at ease. It knows what to say, how to defuse tension and how to bring different people to the same table. In a group, Libra is often the peacemaker who finds the compromise everyone can live with.
A strong sense of justice
Underneath the charm, Libra cares deeply about what is fair. Injustice – even small unfairness at work or among friends – bothers this sign a great deal. Many Libras are drawn to law, mediation, human rights and other fields where fairness is the goal.
The famous indecision
Because Libra sees every side of a situation, choosing can be hard. Which restaurant? Which job? Which colour? Libra may weigh options for a long time, not because it does not care, but because it cares about getting it right for everyone involved.
