Are You a Libra? Here Are Your BEST & WORST Love Matches

Libras are our fair-minded, everyone-should-get-along diplomats with hearts of gold and style to be envied. Libras are associated with the 7th house of partnerships in the astrological birth chart, so it’s no surprise that their main focus in life seems to be centered around getting along and creating meaningful partnerships.

Looking for someone to make a great impression on your family? Look no further than charming Libra, who always knows what to say!

Manners are of much importance to Libras as well, and they will go out of their way to not offend anyone, so even if you have a side argument, they will know how to put on a polite performance and not embarrass you in front of anyone.

Libras want you to love them – and will sometimes go out of their way to make sure you do. These are definitely the people-pleasers of the zodiac!

Libras are fabulous partners, and with enough patience, confidence, and appreciation, anyone who finds themselves in a relationship with one of these charming and intelligent creatures will be satisfied indeed. Libras work best over time with more self-confident partners who aren’t prone to jealousy – they know their flirtatious Libra is just having some fun – and are ultimately happiest at home with them.

Like the steady Earth sign Taurus, the harmony-seeking planet Venus rules over our lovely Air sign Libras. Creature comforts and luxury are desirable to the sign of the scales, so lavish gifts, pampering, and dinners out will go a long way toward winning their hearts.

Libras can always see many outcomes, and it can be natural for them to remain optimistic, even in the face of negativity.

Their Cardinal sign traits may also help here – they like to take action, start something, and initiate. This, combined with their desire to find harmony, almost ensures they will be perpetual cheerleaders, but even they are allowed to have a bad day once in a while. As their partner, it will be important to make sure you are taking as much notice of what’s going on with them as they are for you.

Let’s take a look at the unique characteristics of the sign of the scales!

Libra Strengths

Libra’s positive traits include:

  • Trusting and forgiving
  • Adaptable and flexible
  • Insightful and emotionally intelligent
  • Affectionate and feel more secure when in a relationship

It’s hard to annoy a Libra. Because they want to achieve an environment of peace and calm, they are more than willing to accept an apology if it’s heartfelt. This should not be taken advantage of, though – they will eventually tire of people who prove they cannot be trusted.

Part of Libra’s intoxicating charm is their ability to make you feel like you’re the only person in the room – and this is due to their innate ability to read the room and the people in it. Intellectual Libras have an uncanny way of knowing when things are “off,” and this can be both a positive and a negative if you’re in a relationship with them.

Libra Weaknesses

Although Libras have a plethora of positive traits, unfortunately, they may also have these negative characteristics. Libras can be:

  • Indecisive to a fault
  • Co-dependent in relationships
  • Appearing as two-faced
  • Known to fall into – and out of – love

Libras want everyone to get along – so when faced with too many choices, they want to be sure to carefully consider every possible outcome. This can make Libras seem wishy-washy or non-committal, but they may just need a little more time than everyone else.

Also, due to their ability to consider many views and be non-offensive, they may tell you something slightly different than you heard it from someone else. In reality, they are likely just not taking sides, but on the negative, they can seem like they are playing both ends against the table. At their worst and most secure, Libras will accept a flawed partnership rather than be alone.

Zodiac Signs Most Compatible With Libra

Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius

So, who is most compatible with Libra?

Well, Libras need room to think, observe, and decide what’s right and wrong for them. The fellow Air signs – Mutable Geminis – are the most free-thinking, and Fixed sign Aquarius are more solid in their process, so they will both provide different perspectives for their Libra partner to consider.

Fun-loving Fire signs Leo and Sagittarius are up for a good time and love to entertain as much as you do Libra! 

Sagittarius tends to see the world through a lens of optimism and will keep your spirits up while encouraging you to explore their open-minded side, especially in the bedroom! Leos are creative and generous, and while you could just end up in a never-ending compliment contest, the capacity to admire and hold each other in high regard will make this a very strong bond indeed.

Zodiac Signs Least Compatible With Libra

Cancer, Virgo, Aries, Capricorn

Libras should make sure they aren’t run over by a stronger-willed partner who tries to rush them into a decision they will live to regret – or at least to question if they did the right thing without having a chance to think it all through.

Fellow Cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn may become competitive with Libra, wanting to lead the way themselves and getting frustrated when Libra doesn’t immediately jump into the boat.

Disciplined Capricorn and Virgo may tire of Libra’s “wishy-washy” ways, and Libra may find it hard to connect with the more stoic Earth signs, who seem less inclined to care about the beauty in the world and more on tradition, routine, and hard work. Water sign Cancer’s moodiness, sometimes passive-aggression, and tendency to be jealous will not float well with the more free-spirited Libra.

Air signs are dreamy and thoughtful – so other zodiac signs who need a faster answer from Libra or who need decisions and ideas based on rationality and logic will not necessarily be a good match here.

On the one hand, an “opposing” love match could prove challenging, but you could also learn a lot from each other here if you both have the patience and compromise to stick it out.

Libra Men in Love

  • Good listeners
  • Generous
  • Persuasive
  • Need a lot of attention

When his attention is on you, he’s the most charming and romantic guy around. When it’s not, though, you may wonder where it is. Libra men are very flirtatious and can talk their way into – or out of – anything.

Once you have established some ground rules and make it clear you want to keep it one-to-one, though, they can be highly loyal partners. A Libra man will be a sexy and charismatic partner, and he will pay attention to your needs as long as you don’t take him for granted!

Libra men are chatterboxes – let them talk, and you will be on the road to winning their hearts. Good food and drink, a sultry atmosphere, and soothing music will also speak to this romantic at heart. Pleasure comes in many forms, and Libras are well known to indulge in many of them!

Libra men and women may struggle with the balance between wanting to meet new people to test their charms and the side of them that deeply desires to make a meaningful and romantic connection.

Libra Women in Love

  • Trusting
  • Affectionate
  • Demonstrate integrity
  • Supportive

Because of their willingness to go along and not rock the boat, spending time drawing out their deeper desires may take some time, and Libra women may need to be coaxed out of worrying about being a ray of sunshine and into sharing who they really are under their lovely exterior.

While all Libras have an eye for detail and need to keep a pleasant and beautiful home, the Libra women will take an especially keen interest in this area, aligning deeply with her connection to sensual Venus. This doesn’t mean they like to do chores! Show them you appreciate their efforts by not destroying their hard work once in a while.

Appearances are ultra important to all Librans, and Libra women in love are forces to be reckoned with. 

Well-spoken, well put together and set to charm all who meet them, it can be difficult to resist their attention once it’s set on you. Here is the person who can change the energy of the room when they enter it – and they have a particular way of making you feel like the most important person in the room. They can also be fierce, defending anyone – or anything – if they feel someone has been wronged.

Libra Relationship Compatibility With the Signs

Aries

Your Aries partner will need patience with you – while you’re dithering about what you want to do, they’ve already done it! The brash impulsiveness of Aries can hurt your feelings; they’re just who they are, so try not to take it personally.

Aries is opposite Libra on the zodiac, and there’s more than a little truth to the old saying that opposites attract! This has potential if they’re willing to learn to be patient and you’re willing to allow yourself to be a bit more impetuous.

Learn more about the Libra and Aries love connection.

Taurus

You’re very different — different elements, different qualities, but you’re still going to have a lot of common ground because you’re both ruled by Venus — the planet of love! Your tastes will be similar, and you’re both romantics at heart.

Watch that you don’t overindulge each other, though. It will be easy for spending to get out of hand — and for you to gain weight, for that matter, because you both like to satisfy your appetites for all of the good things that life has to offer. You may have to put up with a bit of stubbornness from Taurus, though – while you’re the social butterfly, Taurus might be a bit jealous of the attention that you get from others.

Learn more about the Libra and Taurus love connection.

Gemini

You’re both air elements, so that is going to give you some common ground and similar viewpoint things in many cases. You’ll innately ‘get’ each other — but that also means that you’ll know exactly what buttons to push to infuriate each other, too.

Yours is a relationship that is social and always on the go. Gemini’s outgoing personality will intrigue you, while your charm and penchant for luxury will captivate Gemini into wanting to know more about you. If nothing else, you’ll never get bored with each other!

Learn more about the Libra and Gemini love connection.

Cancer

You both like peace and harmony, but you’re going to go about it in different ways, which have the potential of creating discord rather than harmony! Cancer can be moody — and that’s not going to work with you.

You like to socialize, and they could be too clingy for that, which will come between you in the long run. You’re going to have to learn patience and understand your Cancer partner’s need for one-on-one time, while they’re going to have to learn not to be so possessive when it comes to your attention and maybe even your affection.

Learn more about the Libra and Cancer love connection.

Leo

A relationship with Leo can be demanding. You both like attention, and you both love to be in love. The problems arise when you start looking at what you stand to get rather than what you have to give. There’s a lot of indulgences here, but also a lot of hurt feelings too.

Neither of you is particularly careful with your resources, and it will be easy to blame the other one should things get out of hand. As gregarious as Leo is, there’s a jealous streak there, too. This has the potential to be a great pairing, but you’ll both have to watch your egos.

Learn more about the Libra and Leo love connection.

Virgo

You’re as different as night and day, and this is going to be a hard relationship for both of you to navigate. You’re a social butterfly, but Virgo likes what’s familiar. You will be off and running on a whim, but careful Virgo likes to plan.

You’ll find Virgo’s criticism hard to take, and they won’t understand your indecision and lack of practicality. The only way that this is going to work is if you both take your patience pills and your tolerance tablets — otherwise, you’ll find Virgo weighs you down, and they’ll find you far too irresponsible.

Learn more about the Libra and Virgo love connection.

Libra

Oh my! A relationship with another Libra is certainly going to have its share of ups and downs. You’re going to be so much alike — and if you are on each other’s good side, great! However, your Libra partner is going to reflect back to you the sides of your sign that you’ve not yet worked out how to master, and no one likes addressing their faults. You’re either going to really get along and be inseparable, or this will fizzle out in a blaze of indifference before it even gets started.

You’re both going to have to carry equal weight to make this work — which is appropriate, being as how you’re the sign of the scales.

Scorpio

If you fancy a Scorpio, then you’ll have your work cut out for you. Scorpio doesn’t do anything by halves, and the relationship is always going to be one-sided. Scorpio will dote on you, and that might attract and flatter you initially, but as the relationship deepens, it will start to feel restrictive.

You’ll start to find Scorpio’s stubbornness annoying — and don’t be surprised if the fun factor leaves too, for Scorpio may find your frivolity too infuriating. If this is going to work, you’ll have to teach Scorpio how to lighten up a bit while learning how to be a bit more serious yourself.

Learn more about the Libra and Scorpio love connection.

Sagittarius

There’s definite potential here, provided that neither of you becomes too clingy. You’ll be right there with Sagittarius’s sense of adventure, and it will inspire you to follow your own dreams and desires. You’ll have plenty to talk about, and you’ll appreciate Sagittarius’s gregarious nature.

There’s a lot of sexual chemistry here, too, as well as a whirlwind of social activities that you’ll both enjoy. You’ll just have to learn to keep up with Sagittarius without getting too moody about having your own needs met.

Learn more about the Libra and Sagittarius love connection.

Capricorn

There’s not a whole lot of common ground here, and if you’re going to last with your Cappy partner, you’re going to have to be adaptable. You’ll want to go out, and the old goat will want to stay home, and — as stubbornness is one of Capricorn’s traits — there won’t be much room for compromise.

However, if you find the right balance between surrendering control and persuading Capricorn to try something new, you might find you’re rewarded by a strong and steadfast partner on whom you can truly depend.

Learn more about the Libra and Capricorn love connection.

Aquarius

You’re both Air signs, so that gets you off to a good start. You’re more lighthearted than your Aquarian lover, though, and that takes some balancing. Aquarius is determined and very intense, and while that’s intriguing at first, in the long run, it may grow to be oppressive for your free spirit.

Neither of you is in a hurry to get tied down, which could create problems as the relationship develops. Once you’re both in the groove, though, you’ll have a harmonious relationship that brings a lot of understanding and compassion.

Learn more about the Libra and Aquarius love connection.

Pisces

If ever there were two sentimental signs, it’s you and Pisces

You’re both sensitive to the needs of the other, want harmony between you, and have lots of plans for what you want to do together — and to each other! However, it’s going to be up to you to make sure that those plans are not just all talk because Pisces does like that little flight of fancy. You’ll have to put the foundations under the fantasies to make them manifest.

This has a great chance of being romance at its finest, providing neither of you is too set in your ways or so caught up in your daydreams that a dream is all you have.

Love is in the Air With Libras

When it comes to Libra’s zodiac love compatibility, bear in mind not looking good on paper doesn’t mean a match won’t work out! 

When looking at the elements, Fire and Air signs tend to be more extroverted, while Earth and Water signs are more introverted. This can be very helpful in considering how people will get along in any kind of relationship, but it isn′t restrictive!

There are many more layers to astrology to consider, including the rest of someone’s primal triad – their Moon sign and Rising sign. Having a birth chart done for both of you could definitely provide more insight into your compatibility.
