Libra personality, traits
A Zodiac sign's traits are dictated by the planet that rules it, explains astrologer Narayana Montúfar.
Since Libra is ruled by Venus – the planet of pleasure, beauty and love – its personality leans heavily into those characteristics. Libras are often social, charming and artistic.
Montúfar describes many Libras as being physically attractive and loving individuals. They have a propensity for harmony and are well-mannered, often taking the role of the peacemaker.
"They really need to feel that sense of peace," Montúfar explains. This makes Libras smooth negotiators. Their love of harmony can backfire though, sometimes leading to people pleasing. "They're afraid of saying something that will put the vibe off-kilter," she adds.
Libras are also very classy and move through life in a sophisticated way, Montúfar says.

Career
Libras are often at the top of their field, Montúfar shares. The sign's friendliness and ability to be around people for long periods makes them master networkers.
"They're very good at dealing with people," she adds. "Networking is kind of their thing." In the workplace, they're the type to have countless connections on LinkedIn, Montúfar jokes.
Libras also make good managers as they are judicious and can remain level-headed.
Libra compatibility
Libras tend to commit to long-term relationships, Montúfar says. The sign rules partnerships, and those with Libra suns function better when they are with someone.
It is rare to see a Libra single, Montúfar says. Libras usually need someone to mirror them as they figure out their own sense of individuality.
Libras make excellent partners, Montúfar adds. They play for keeps and remain focused on their partner.
Libra is most compatible with fellow air signs: Gemini and Aquarius.

Strengths
Libras are both optimistic and idealistic, Montúfar says.
Since Venus's job is to bring pleasure, love and beauty, signs ruled by the planet are more likely to look on the bright side, she adds.
Libras are also more aesthetically inclined. They're great with website design or interior decor advice, Montúfar says. Their homes are often expertly designed and have artistic flare. They also give great gifts.
Libras tend to be intellectual and empathetic. Their love of harmony makes them fair, gentle and good listeners.

Weaknesses
A Libra's desire for balance isn't always ideal, however. It can make the sign indecisive and overly appeasing.
Libras' need to hear both sides of the story pushes them into what Montúfar calls "analysis paralysis," resulting in an inability to make a decision.
"The truth is that the perfect way for a Libra to exist is being balanced," Montúfar says. "Being able to make decisions without taking forever or without hiding and being able to say when they're upset or when something's wrong."
If a Libra is not in this state of balance, things become difficult and strengths can transform into points of weakness.
