“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” – Benjamin Franklin

Who is Libra?

Libra is symbolized by The Scales, the only inanimate object among the zodiac signs.

In Greek mythology, Libra is associated with Dike (or Dicaeosyne), the goddess of justice and moral order, and Astraea, the goddess of purity and innocence.

Dike is frequently conflated with Astraea due to their similar iconography, shared parentage, and associations to justice. At the same time, she is also called Dike Astraea, with the latter being her epithet.

However, the Scales of Libra were believed to belong to Dike. While Astraea symbolized innocence, Dike represented consequence and societal justice. She was the embodiment of human law and morality itself, rewarding virtue and punishing wrongdoing.

Ancient texts describe her as Zeus’s counselor, lamenting to him when justice was violated and striking down those who defied ethical order. While her mother, Themis, is goddess of divine justice, which is absolute and beyond human morality.

In Egyptian mythology, Libra aligns with the goddess Ma’at, who weighed the hearts of the deceased against the truth to determine their fate in the afterlife. In a similar fashion, priests of Ma’at served as judges in Ancient Egyptian society.

Personality

Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and pleasure, Libra is known to value aesthetics, relationships, and peace within their social circles.

As a cardinal air sign, Libra is both a free thinker and an initiator—unafraid to seek out new ideas, connections, and ways to create harmony out of chaos.

Libras are diplomatic and charming. They pride themselves on their natural affinity for being excellent mediators and negotiators.

However, their desire to please everyone can sometimes make them indecisive or prone to avoiding conflict altogether. They value fairness above all else, but in effect, they may struggle with setting firm boundaries or making definitive choices, especially if they believe that doing so will cause conflict or imbalance – within themselves or among their relationships.

They also tend to worry a bit too much about keeping up appearances. They are lovers, not fighters who LOVE love and connection. But because of this, they must be all the more careful not to lose themselves in the pursuit of their ideal “soulmate.”

Libra Season

Approximate Dates: September 23 – October 22
Libra season marks the transition from summer to autumn, a time of balance between light and dark. It is a season of bringing harmony into your personal and social life.

What to Do

Libra season encourages us to find our center, whether through relationships, work-life balance, or internal peace. It’s an ideal time to resolve conflicts and strengthen bonds.

As a way to unwind, surround yourself with beauty—whether through art, music, or thoughtful conversations.

This is a season for diplomacy and collaboration. When you engage in intellectual conversations, always be fair-minded and open to other’s ideas – but don’t forget to assert yourself when you need to. Be fair to yourself as well.

What Not to Do

Be mindful of seeking balance for the sake of appearances rather than genuine fairness. This is a time to confront problems directly rather than dancing around them in an attempt to keep the peace.

You will be more tempted to engage in people-pleasing behavior this season. A little goes a long way, but overdoing it may cost you in the long run. You cannot be everything to everyone and still be true to yourself.

Most Compatible Signs

Libra thrives in relationships that are intellectually stimulating and emotionally fulfilling. They also value aesthetics, so they will be fond of relationships where everyone looks and feels their best.

Gemini and Aquarius, fellow air signs, match Libra’s love for conversation and social engagement. Passionate Leo is drawn to Libra’s charm, and in turn, Libra finds Leo’s confidence utterly captivating and even inspiring.

Sagittarius and Libra could find common ground in a shared appreciation for philosophy and beauty. Embarking on new adventures together could also bring out the best aspects of each other.

Least Compatible Signs

Certain signs may challenge Libra’s desire for harmony and social grace. Decisive Capricorn, with its strict discipline and pragmatism, may find Libra’s flightiness frustrating.

Libras who possess a more lighthearted approach towards relationship might not be the best to offer the emotional depth and connection that Cancer placements seek. Similarly, Scorpios may find Libra’s coolness and ambivalence to be detached at best, or insincere at worst.

Hold Up! It’s important to note that compatibility is not a fixed rule—just because two signs may not naturally align doesn’t mean they can’t build meaningful relationships! Many factors in an individual’s natal chart influence how they connect with others. In fact, the conflicts between these signs’ energies are often challenges that play out within a person’s own personality rather than outright clashes with others.

Dream Careers

Libras excel in careers that involve aesthetics, communication, diplomacy, and relationships. Their ability to navigate social dynamics, appreciate beauty, and negotiate makes them excellent in roles that require tact, creativity, and fairness.
