The Libra Character - The Seventh Sign with the Zodiac

By Graham Flynn


Libras do not do well as "singles." They feel incomplete with out "another half" in their life -- meaning someone to whom they feel profoundly connected, with whom they believe intimately "involved." They deeply think the require for other folks in their lives, and so a well-functioning Libra will also be well-skilled in all of the smaller social graces and interpersonal courtesies the make relationships work smoothly for everyone concerned.

Libras consider adrift and unfocused with no a significant individual partner ... additional so than any other sign with the Zodiac, as well as the keen observer of human commerce (itself a very Libra interest) will notice this continually in the nuances of their behavior.

Libras often speak in terms of "we" ... as if they speak for "the partnership," even as soon as the opinion, or the experience, or the anecdote to which they refer is theirs alone. They aren't comfortable with dissent during the ranks. They want agreement, accord, a united front to offer for the rest of the world.

It's as if they feel naked without the need of that sort of partnership support behind them to turn to and rely on. They are, therefore, much more attuned than any other sign towards the views, perspectives, beliefs, ambitions, desires, and foibles of the "other" in their lives.

This method creates for an automatic intimacy between a Libra and the crucial partner. But it also can indicate a strange kind of assimilation ... as if, indeed, two persons no longer exist, but rather a composite has been formed ... and extrication back into two individuals rather than this strange new multi-faceted entity can be a sticky business, to say the least.

In an association with a true Libra, it truly is hard for ones partners to tell following a whilst wherever 1 leaves off as well as the other begins. Clearly this can trigger some significant boundary difficulties to jobs out, produced all of the much more problematic because the "merging" -- even to an unhealthy extent --can feel so proper towards Libra half in the pair.

Libras deal in compromise and cooperation ... the quite items that smooth transactions with individuals all-important companions and partners. They are also concerned with difficulties of popularity and approval ... and have a "sense" of how to have these that makes them exceptionally fine at working in the public in general.

Libras, therefore, are natural arbiters, peacemakers, and strategists. They've unusually strong talents as writers and counsellors, as a result of their innate ability to determine another point of view and work from it as clearly as they do "their own" ... after they know for sure what their own issue is.

That's not as effortless because it sounds. Indeed, the dividing line tends to blur quite always in their preoccupation with achieving consensus -- that common ground on which they often prefer to stand. For this reason, and because they usually can preserve numerous views at once and think devoutly in whichever is much more prominent, a lot more vigorously promoted, or most convenient at the moment, Libras can also be ambivalent and indecisive towards the issue of getting wishy-washy.

The fact is, they significance having options. To them, owning an additional one to add to a growing stack just isn't at all of the trouble it would be for some signs. Towards Libras, more alternatives open up the horizons of far more possibilities. And getting 1 from the intellectual Air signs ... they find this all vastly entertaining.

Then, too, this trait inclines them to interest in matters of fairness, justice, 50-50 propositions and "everybody pulling his very own weight and making his unique share." This creates occupations where they serve as agents or representatives for "others" also a natural channel for their professional energies, just like the fields of law, sales, advertising, and contract negotiation.

Then, too, Libras at their best can also be beautifully cultured, charming, discreet, judicious, graceful and highly concerned with appearances -- which -- is often a plus in these endeavors. They want elements to be "nice," pleasant, congenial and gracious. Serenity can be a thing Libras opt for, even at the expense of far more significant qualities and problems inside the extended run. And they've to become genuinely careful not to smile and schmooze their way into extremely serious difficulties -- and individuals all essential "compromises," all for your sake of not producing waves.

Libras actually prize harmony and peace, and as well as their sociable natures, go generous helpings of dignity, polish, and refinement. They're quite conscientious people, but they can effortlessly prefer tact more than simple fact inside interests of not hurting anyone's feelings. And their devout concern with seeing all sides "win" inside a given case creates them fantastic diplomats . . . but these same traits make it hard for Libras to consume a corporation stand (especially an unpopular one, regardless on the principle involved -- unless the principle itself deals with matters of equity and justice) and stick unflinchingly to it.

They are always as well willing to bend for your sake of "peace and goodwill." Abe Lincoln may have recognized you can't please all of the people all of the time ... but Libras keep on trying anyway.

Libras also believe in balance, but they do tend to go to extremes in their constant search for that elusive middle-of-the-road level playing field. This alone usually keeps them from living that quiet well-ordered, companionable life they so greatly desire. For all their good intentions, they are able to be a trial to deal with more than the long-term ... but as friends, hosts, or occasional companions, they are able to be most accommodating.
