Libras are the jewels of the zodiac—the kind you see displayed in Tiffany’s windows, not on Woolworth’s shelves. They exist to be admired. Their milieu is that of the social arts, the world of good manners and pleasantries.
And what a bundle of contradictions Libra can be. On the one hand, you’re ruled by seductive Venus, and you’re gregarious, attractive, and a natural flirt. Longing for love, you instinctively look to romantic partners to balance your inadequacies and stabilise you. As a single person, you’re romantic, charming, and popular. But being part of a duo is essential to your fulfilment, and ultimately you’re happy to leave the dating life behind.
On the other hand, you’re an air sign, ruled by your head — not your heart. Thanks to your refined sensibilities and visceral distaste for tear-soaked melodramas, you unconsciously preserve a distance meant to protect you from conflict and emotional chaos. In relationships, as in other areas of life, you often end up in an internal tug-of-war, first drawing close to the object of your affection, and then pulling away. Not surprisingly, your ambivalence may strike the other person as manipulative.
In love with a Libra? Be smart, stylish, cultured, and good-looking. Take Libra to scenic places — Libra melts in the presence of natural beauty. Try not to be needy (Libra responds only when it matters, so don’t cry wolf) or jealous (Libra flirts like mad and attracts admirers everywhere). And don’t be loud or lewd: Libra can’t stand it. They can stand healthy disagreement, though. In fact, they often thrive on it. That’s because Libra is actually looking for a relationship, not a clone.

Libra & Libra: Equally demonstrative, lively, warm, sociable, in love with beautiful things, you enjoy pleasing each other in sexual ways. But with you two there’s a great sense of playing at love. A problem is that neither wants to face reality. Though you are charming, peace-loving, and adaptable, each needs a stronger balance than the other can provide. Another downside to this duo is that if you feel ambivalent about the same issues, you can flounder in indecision forever. Also, because you are so much alike, the specter of boredom lurks around the edges. But if both of you can find enough outside stimulation to whet your appetites, this can be an interesting liaison. Otherwise, you’re both creative, courteous, logical, and likeable. This is a conversation that never stops.
Libra & Scorpio: Although these two signs share a longing for romance, Scorpio craves emotional intensity and melodrama, while even-handed Libra yearns for serenity. Unless Libra has planets in Scorpio, the initial attraction is strong, but the long-term connection isn’t.
Libra & Sagittarius: Though the independent Archer’s need for adventure may cause Libra a few jealous moments, Libra’s charm reels the wandering gypsy back in.
Libra & Capricorn: Old-fashioned romance appeals to you both, and you adore being part of a couple. But you both tend to repress emotions. When issues arise, as they inevitably do, the challenge is to admit that there’s a problem and to deal with it.
Libra & Aquarius: You could talk all night. Your mental connection is extraordinary. Other aspects of love leave something to be desired. Look for a strong Mars-Venus tie.
Libra & Pisces: You seem to be soul mates, but you aren’t. Mysterious Pisces is a seething mass of soul, and Libra, though temptingly romantic on the surface, is cool, calm, and uncomfortable with emotions. After a while, the sensitive Fish feels ignored, while Libra, never the energy capital of the zodiac, feels exhausted.
