Libra is the only sign of the zodiac represented by an inanimate object, but the scales reflect the Libra’s fixation with balance and harmony. They are true team players with a strong sense of fair play. Lovers of justice, they have a strong aversion to conflict and are good at weighing issues and reaching a compromise. In a constant search for justice, they always try to see that justified claims are met.

Libras are great at launching new initiatives, however they often struggle with indecision. They have a strong intellect and a keen mind and learn best by using their intuition. One of their greatest pleasures is enriching their lives with music, art, and travel. They are artistic and stylish, fond of expensive things, but when bored they can be somewhat apathetic and lazy.

Those born under the sign of Libra are peaceful, fair, and they hate being alone. Relationships are important to them to find their balance. They’re adept at navigating social situations, resolving conflicts with ease simply by turning on the charm. Libras are exceedingly trustworthy and very sensitive, and are devoted strategists who thrive on organizing groups to get the job done.

Famous Libra include: Pope Paul VI, Mahatma Gandhi, Truman Capote, Angela Lansbury, Will Smith, F, Scott Fitzgerald, Hugh Jackman, T.S. Elliot, Viggo Mortensen, John Lennon, Augustus Caesar, Ray Charles, Matt Damon, and Kublai Khan.
