The Astrological Sun Signs: The Personality of Libra

Those born between September 23rd and October 22nd are born under the sign of Libra, the seventh of the sun signs. This sign symbolizes captivating charm. Libra is the sign of the scales, and an individual with this trait often expresses the words "I balance."

The Character of Libra

Those born under this astrological sign are easy to life and possess elegance and taste. They are usually beautiful to look at, for their brilliance shines from within. They have the gift of making other people feel important and are good listeners. Librans also know how to draw a person out of their shell no matter what obstacles may be in the way.

If you were born a Libra, you will likely admire beauty in all its forms. This means you're probably fond of the arts, including music, paintings, and the written word. Your home has a touch of style that reflects your own elegance and you have the ability to entertain a large group of people and make them all feel special. You enjoy the comforts of life and everyone knows it.

Of course, with each sign, there is a downside. And for Libra it's the expectation of admiration. You're a natural narcissist and have a need to be the center of attention. You enjoy compliments and remember who has and who has not granted you praise. But you don't tend to look past the compliment, leaving you open to the manipulations of a skilled and sophisticated schemer.

If there's a sign of relationships, it's Libra. Your energies are mostly focused on combining your skills and abilities with those of others. This applies to professional and personal relationships. The more connections you have, the happier and more effective you are. Emotional situations are relatively easy for you to handle and you understand all points of view equally well. At least until your self-centered side rises to the fore with its own set of ideas.

The Sign of Libra and Its Relationship With Others

Since the symbol of Libra is the scales, it should come as no surprise that balance and harmony are an integral part of the lives of most Librans. Keeping life in order brings happiness, at least for you. You value peace and serenity and will do almost anything to attain these things. You don't like confrontation or dissension and try your best to avoid it.

You understand other points of view easily, making you great at solving problems, especially emotional disputes. You are a natural diplomat and know when to keep your mouth shut. You'll hide your own opinions and feelings when necessary, especially if doing so means finding a resolution just a little faster.

You try to be all things to all people as you seek approval, but in doing so you may come off as indecisive. In your quest to balance every individual situation, you may unbalance the greater whole. And under your serene surface, you struggle to make decisions that commit you to a single course of action.

As a Libra, you have excellent instincts, but you don't put enough faith in them. You are easygoing and even tempered, but this can make you an underachiever if you don't find some ambition. You generally don't want anything enough to fight for it, and you don't like hardship, which often has to be experienced to achieve great success.

The exception to this is when you're denied something to which you feel entitled. This alone can ruffle your calm, forcing you into confrontation when you'd rather run. Librans have a reputation for occasional stubbornness, and you don't disappoint. You like everything to be fair, and if you're entitled to something, you'll find a way to get it.

You get along with most people, especially those who are even tempered and have a good sense of humor. You can appreciate talent in all its forms and enjoy a variety of hobbies. You also surround yourself with talented people. It's not unusual for a Libran to have writers, artists, and musicians as close friends.

Despite your many talents, you're not great with money. You have no real love of money itself, but with the things money can buy. Many born under this sign disdain hard work, making money hard to come by. If you combine this reluctance to work with a love of the arts, it should come as no surprise that many Librans find work in the arts, often becoming decorators, painters, actors, composers, or writers. This may be hard work, but it's the kind of work a Libran can enjoy.

If you were born a Libran, you are probably an idealist and a romantic. Most Librans are also affectionate, sentimental, optimistic, and willing to please. But it is the natural charm of the sun sign Libra that really defines this sign.
