Libra Zodiac Sign - Basics:
Element: Air, Quality: Cardinal, Ruler: Venus.
Character
Libra, symbolised by a pair of scales, has an ideal of peace, balance and harmony in all life. A pity reality rarely matches this ideal for long. The desire for relationship is strong, but like all air signs Libra has a problem with the emotional complexities therein.
Pitfalls
Libra is a cardinal sign so wants to take the initiative. The problem is it doesn't know what to do, or fears to act lest the delicate balance in any matter be disturbed. Contrast Aries, the opposite sign, which has no problem at all here.
A word of advice
Consider a matter carefully before deciding, certainly, but then act boldly and risk getting it wrong. Perhaps more than any other sign Libra learns through its mistakes. And who knows, maybe your mistake is someone else's opportunity. The deeper level of the soul may have a different idea of what constitutes a mistake than the mind does.
Compatibility
Your ideal mate is attractive and full of ideas, and wants to be close to you without clinging. You may attract partners more assertive than you are, which may please you (it saves you having to make up your own mind about something) provided you can see it as balancing your own more diplomatic nature. See zodiac sign compatibility for indications of compatibility with those with particular signs emphasised in their birth charts.
