Libra Sun Sign Compatability Matches
LIBRA-ARIES
A basic difference in your personalities is that LIBRA likes to look at both sides of an issue and consider any situation from every angle. LIBRA likes to discuss ideas with others, get their opinion, and sometimes has difficulty coming to a definitive decision. ARIES is prone to be just the opposite, taking a strong, more one-sided view of a situation and frequently is uninterested in hearing others' point of view. In order for your relationship to work, you will have to reconcile this basic difference in your personalities. Over time, LIBRA may feel that ARIES is a selfish egotist and ARIES may feel that LIBRA is a weak-willed wimp. Obviously, you will need to have greater appreciation and respect for each other than this! LIBRA makes many more compromises and accommodations for the relationship than ARIES does.
LIBRA-TAURUS
You are both lovers of peace and harmony, and avoid conflict and tension as much as possible. There is a cordial, soft quality to your relationship that makes it very pleasant, and these qualities draw many friends and acquaintances to you as well. Beneath the smooth facade, however, you do have your differences! Very often LIBRA is more socially oriented and communicative, while TAURUS is too busy with interests, hobbies, or work and is not willing to join LIBRA in conversation, social activity, or entertainment. TAURUS needs to be less inflexible at times. Also, aesthetics are very important to both of you, and you probably disagree on matters of style from time to time.
LIBRA-GEMINI
You have an excellent mental rapport, and you enjoy one another's intelligence, wit, and style. Both of you are very social creatures who thrive on interaction with people, cultural activities and conversation. Your match is likely to be a very egalitarian one, for you both want a partner who is an equal and a friend above all else.
LIBRA is very considerate, has a strong desire to please GEMINI (or any partner) and will compromise readily; LIBRA always sees numerous possibilities or desirable alternatives, and you both have trouble being decisive or making up your minds sometimes.
LIBRA-CANCER
There are some similarities between you, and also some significant differences in your temperaments and needs.
Both of you are thoughtful, considerate, sensitive to, and aware of, other people's needs. Having good personal relationships is very important to both of you, and you make harmony and peace in your personal lives a very high priority. You both avoid conflict and confrontation if at all possible.
The differences are thus: LIBRA is more objective, rational, and fair compared to CANCER, who is subjective, emotional, and biased by personal sympathies and loyalties. Though seemingly sympathetic, LIBRA can be surprisingly cool and intellectual when problems arise between the two of you. CANCER responds very personally and emotionally. LIBRA needs more communication and conversation than CANCER seems to.
Also, LIBRA wants to relate as an equal and a peer, while CANCER wants to mother or be mothered by a partner. So CANCER is more comfortable with becoming emotionally or financially dependent on a partner (or having the partner dependent in that way), while LIBRA wants a more egalitarian relationship. These differences can cause misunderstandings between you, but rarely are they a source of major conflict.
LIBRA-LEO
This can be a very warm and mutually fulfilling relationship. Both of you are romantics at heart and tend to be "in love with love". You both need and love romantic gestures, the giving and receiving of gifts, etc. Personal appearances and attractiveness is important to both of you as well, and you both are somewhat vain.
LEO is more decisive and very clear about personal preferences and desires, while LIBRA is more flexible and will compromise graciously in order to please LEO. LEO is more self-absorbed or self-centered than LIBRA. Of the two of you, LEO is the stronger individual, and the balance of power in your relationship may be somewhat lopsided. However, LIBRA has a highly developed sense of fairness and equality, and will protest sooner or later if LEO begins to expect obeisance all of the time.
LIBRA-VIRGO
LIBRA loves company and can talk endlessly with friends, and loves to hear others' experiences and thoughts on any subject. LIBRA is very accepting of different points of view and is disinclined to judge or even clearly evaluate what others say. VIRGO, on the other hand, loves to analyze and criticize, and is intolerant of illogical or erroneous thinking. VIRGO is more demanding of others and confronts others when necessary. LIBRA finds these confrontations extremely uncomfortable and often embarrassing. VIRGO is much more exacting and demanding in all areas of life. At worst, VIRGO can view LIBRA as wishy-washy, and LIBRA can view VIRGO as prim and intolerant, but hopefully your appreciation of each other is much better than this! At best, your different natures can complement each other without annoying each other.
LIBRA-LIBRA
Both of you invest enormous energy and time into personal relationships, and you both feel incomplete without a partner for companionship, conversation, and affection. For both of you, an experience isn't really satisfying unless it is SHARED.
You both possess tact, diplomacy, charm, and a very strong desire for harmony in relationships. Furthermore, you both tend to want to please everyone all of the time, to be liked by everyone, and therefore you often avoid taking strong, decisive stands or directly confronting thorny interpersonal problems. You want things to be nice, pretty, and pleasant. You are apt to adapt your own preferences or change your position to suit your partner.
However, both of you also have a highly developed sense of fairness, balance, and proportion. Equality is very important to the two of you and in this relationship (as perhaps in no other) you will certainly have an equal relationship, with neither of you dominating.
Beauty is very important to both of you, also, and many of your discussions revolve around issues of taste and style.
LIBRA-SCORPIO
In many situations, SCORPIO will respond with greater emotional intensity than LIBRA. While LIBRA is not a cool and aloof individual, SCORPIO's feelings can run deeper. For example, both of you want a close relationship, but SCORPIO can become intensely fixated on a person and possessive, whereas LIBRA maintains a sense of proportion and some reasonable degree of objectivity and emotional distance from others, even in marriage. SCORPIO's "urge to merge" can be very powerful. LIBRA's approach to life, in general, tends to be more moderate and well-balanced, while SCORPIO tends to periodically become intensely focused on some area of concern and become even fanatical in pursuit of some interest. LIBRA's detached fairness can infuriate SCORPIO at times, and SCORPIO's inexplicable dark moods or fervent responses bewilder LIBRA. These differences need not create serious problems in your relationship. Emotional bonds between you can be very strong, especially if other astrological indications indicate strong romantic or sexual ties.
LIBRA-SAGITTARIUS
Both of you are outgoing, friendly people. You enjoy socializing and you enjoy each other's company immensely. Very often SAGITTARIUS provides extra "zing" to the relationship with lots of grandiose ideas, dreams, visions, and restless wanderlust. LIBRA helps provide a more balanced, sensible perspective while usually being sympathetic to SAGITTARIUS as well. However, sometimes your joint activities may fail to be fruitful. LIBRA is often prone to go along with people even when there are lots of doubts. SAGITTARIUS may enthusiastically talk LIBRA into ventures that LIBRA should have the sense to question rather than meekly accept. Overall, though, this is likely to be a most enjoyable relationship.
LIBRA-CAPRICORN
LIBRA is very social and prefers a life style that involves lots of interaction with others. For example, a job that does not involve communication with others is very distasteful to LIBRA. CAPRICORN is more concerned with career, stature, and practical affairs than LIBRA, and many times LIBRA wishes that CAPRICORN would lighten up, take life less seriously, and simply be more fun to be with. CAPRICORN seems a little old-fashioned at times too, which is frequently not agreeable with LIBRA. You can help complement each other also, with CAPRICORN contributing more to establishing a secure, well-founded plan for your lives and the future of your children (if you are married and have children), while LIBRA takes the time to maintain social contacts and keep life in balance, making sure that pressures of work and other responsibilities do not become overwhelming. Pleasure and aesthetics are important to LIBRA, and less so to CAPRICORN. Also, CAPRICORN tends to be autocratic and LIBRA is more democratic or egalitarian.
LIBRA-AQUARIUS
Both of you are very social, active people. You are involved in community groups, and your line of work probably brings you into contact with lots of people. You harmonize well with each other and are great friends.
AQUARIUS is very attached to clubs, social groups, and colleagues. LIBRA may feel that AQUARIUS needs friends more than a marriage partner or lover. In fact, LIBRA devotes much more attention to any close partnership. This difference in orientation is fairly subtle, however, and may not be a source of difficulty or conflict. You both tend to live in your minds, and enjoy a partner who is awake and alive mentally - an intellectual peer. Fortunately, you have this in one another.
LIBRA-PISCES
Both of you are good listeners and you are receptive to others' points of view, and you dislike having to engage in competitive behavior or aggressive tactics in order to get your point across or receive fair treatment. You appreciate that your partner shares your gentle attitude. LIBRA, however, may sometimes feel that PISCES is too gentle and receptive, being evasive or vague when asked questions or unable to be definite and articulate. LIBRA thrives on dialogue while PISCES often prefers to simply take in lots of ideas and ponder them for a long time before offering a point of view. LIBRA also has a strong sense of justice and equality and can be vengeful towards those who are seen as unjust, while PISCES is more likely to feel compassion and sympathy even for those who are guilty.

Libra
Libra and Independence:
Libras like to be around other people, they are all about partnerships and groups. They are happiest when other people are around and when other people are doing their work. They are lazy but like posh surrounding and nice decor. These two extremes could strike a balance and the Libra living on his own could either have a very messy place or a very intricately decorated place. They can be independent, they have the intelligence and the full capability within but would a Libra rather co-exist/depend on others.
Libra and Friendship:
Libras love excitement, new situations, adventure and the unusual. They make friends with people from all walks of life and they are always up to something new and exciting with enthusiasm. Libras are great at getting along with people, everyone likes a Libra. They are all about partnerships and groups, they are the glue that hold a group together because they are the ones responsible for keeping harmony and peace. Libras have mastered the art of relationships, not just romantic but business, personal, and family relationships just to name a few. No one is able to see another person's point of view better then a Libra.
Libra and Business:
Libras dislike hard work, they are lazy when it comes to getting their hands dirty and doing the work themselves. Fortunately, their intuitive instincts are good at telling them where money can come from. They can think up great business ideas that are original and bound for success, they can initiate the idea but they need someone else to do the work. Libras make good business partners but not good business people on their own. Libras have potential of being a good leader with their diplomatic ways, but but they are just too lazy to do the hard work required and climb a corporate ladder. A good way for Libra to become wealthy is through artistic endeavors. They can be painters, interior decorators, actors or writing screenplays or composing. These are great ideas because it incorporates Libra's hobby with a moneymaking venture.
Libra and Temperament:
Libras have excellent instincts and intuition, most of the time they do not trust them enough. Libras are likely to be underachievers due to the easygoing attitude. This does not mean that they are necessarily lazy, they just make do with whatever comes their way. They do not want anything badly enough to fight for it. The only time that a Libra will usually stand up is if a situation is unfair, the only time a Libra will definitely stand up is if they feel something involving them is unfair. They need their respect and their fairness, after all, Libra has done so much for other people, it deserves at least fairness, right? When this issue comes into play, Libra becomes courageous.
Libra Deep Inside:
They are also likely to hide or bend their own true feelings in order to bring peace with a group and to make others like them. Sometime this results in them not really knowing what their true feelings are because they are trying to make everyone happy. Other people can see this and Libras have earned themselves a reputation for being indecisive, they simply do not want to hurt anyone's feelings or cause disorder or friction in a situation. This spills over inside the person and many times, Libras have difficulty making decisions. Inside, the Libra is very insecure, they suffer from a lack of self confidence, they are always searching for something to complete them. This is another reason why they are social butterflies, it is an unconscious attempt to find the missing peace through other people. By trying to appease other people all the time, Libras don't really know who they are inside. Libras desperately need love and approval, they will do the favors that people ask and and have a hard time saying 'no' or 'I'm too busy' in order to prove how nice they are, this gradually builds up resentment and negative self esteem issues inside. Libra's indecisiveness is caused by fear, their fear that a wrong decision will make everything come crashing down around them and cause turmoil in their lives. Life is not like that and the Libra that acknowledges the fact that life has ups and downs will be less emotionally wound up, not so hard on themselves and as a result, they will be a much happier person.

They have captivating charm, elegant taste and they are easy to like due to their eager-to-please, easygoing nature.

Libras will gather a group of people, everyone will become friends then the Libra will be in the center of the group. They like the attention and the admiration for the people that they have brought together. Libras are very intelligent, they often hide this inside their easygoing exterior.
