Libra horoscope

23 Sept - 22 Oct

As the seventh sign of the Zodiac, Libra is represented not by an animal or human but by the Scales. Naturally this infers a degree of balance, equality and order to be at the core of a Libran's personality.

Alongside their balanced nature, our Libra horoscope shows that they also have great listening and observation skills. In being so good at listening and understanding, Libran's can be seen as indecisive. Using their charm and likeability - they can also flirt outrageously to get what they want from you.

Personal traits

The Zodiac sign of Libra is ruled by the goddess of love - Venus. So they see beauty - in everything! This love of beauty and their love of fine things in general makes them perfect candidates for designers or artists. They also possess charm and sensitivity in oodles. So being the balanced individual they are they can stand back and consider things with impartiality. However Librans are not a walkover and will not tolerate argument from people challenging their opinions.

Librans do not like vulgarity or thuggishness as they are themselves naturally gentle and caring. Librans value beauty - so outward beauty may be their downfall sometimes as they rush into relationships or get lured into doing things on face values rather than looking deeper into someone's character.

Libran's have a natural affinity to make the peace, and often end up mediating in arguments in order to restore a common ground and create peace. Criticise a Libran and you will know about it. They do not take this well and therefore you may see an insecurity under close scrutiny. Hogging the limelight is not their passion, but a bit of being the centre of it all is always there and therefore if you see only this part of their personality you may misconstrue as being very self-centred.
