Libra season is here! What better way to celebrate than with a harmonious playlist that will make you want to sway to the music?
We Can Work It Out
Written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Performed by The Beatles
We are starting this list off with the Fab Four! Libras are lovers and peace-keepers, so this is the perfect song to appeal to those sensibilities. Libras know that life is very short and there’s no time for fussing and fighting!
Sally’s Song
Written by Danny Elfman and performed by Catherine O’Hara
Scorpio often gets associated with being the “Halloween zodiac sign,” but we must not forget that Libra heralds in the spooky season. This song from A Nightmare Before Christmas speaks to Libra’s loving yet uncertain nature. Because Sally would totally be a Libra, am I right?
Don’t Know Why
Written by Jesse Harris and performed by Norah Jones
Libras are incredibly sweet and affectionate people. But they are also incredibly ambivalent. They are often struggling with mixed emotions especially when it comes to matters of the heart. So give this song a listen, Libra. It won’t help you make a decision, but it will help you come to terms with your own indecisiveness.
Sister Golden Hair
Written by Gerry Beckley and performed by America
Sometimes Libra’s uncertainty can make them one poor correspondent and too, too hard to find. So I put this song on the list to inspire them to pursue the one who has been on their mind. Since Libras are air signs that are represented by scales, hopefully with the help of these lyrics they can find someone who will meet them in the middle and meet them in the air.
Rock Paper Scissors
Written by Robert Ellis Orrall and performed by Katzenjammer
Having to make a tough decision can put a lot of stress on the cardinal air sign. This song, sung by the Norwegian band Katzenjammer, can remind Libra’s that whatever choice they make will be the right one for them in that moment.
What A Wonderful World
Written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss and performed by Louis Armstrong
Libra values peace over almost anything else. They are also ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty. This song by the late great legend Louis Armstrong will remind them to kick back and take in all the beauty and tranquility that the earth has to offer.
Summer Lovin’
Written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey and performed by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta
I know I already mentioned this song in my Summer Anthem article, but you can’t have a Libra playlist without this song. Libra, you are constantly seeking a balance between your ascetic and amorous tendencies. This song finds that balance by juxtaposing Sandy’s wholesomeness with Danny’s… shall we say lasciviousness?
I Can’t Love You
Written and performed by Adore Delano
I could not write a Libra playlist without including a song by the beautiful and talented Adore “I’m A Leeeebruuuh” Delano! This song will resonate with Libras because it tells the story of someone having to make a tough decision in terms of romance.
Leaving On A Jet Plane
Written and performed by John Denver
So, I may have put this song on the list because it was my Libra grandmother’s favorite song. But it truly does have that sweet, affectionate Libra energy. Like many of the songs on here, it tells the story of a hard romantic choice, but with a positive spin.
Peaceful Easy Feeling
Written by Jack Tempchin and performed by The Eagles
This is a song that a Libra can listen to after a long day to unwind. It’s a song of peace, love, and being happy in the moment. It reminds Libra that it is always okay to have your heads in the clouds as long as you keep standing on the ground.
