We all have our preconceived notions about certain zodiac signs. I mean, I write articles based on some of these notions. Some of the conceptions are so deeply ingrained in us that we end up treating people a certain way. I have had people physically and deliberately walk away from me when they learn that I’m an Aries. (We are nice, I promise!) Are these beliefs warranted? There must be a kernel of truth to them right? Well, let’s discuss it.
Today, we are going to talk about stereotypes most commonly attributed to Libras. Are they indecisive fence-sitters who will do anything to keep the status quo? Or do they strive to achieve peace through justice? (Yes, that was a small reference to Avatar: The Last Airbender.)
Libra: The Peace-Keeper Of The Zodiac
You remember that person in high school who was not really one of the “popular” kids, yet they were friends with everyone? That person was probably a Libra, or at the very least had Libra somewhere in their chart. Libra’s have the innate ability to get along with almost everyone. And they use this ability to keep the peace.
When you picture a Libra in your mind, you may see a laid-back person who would rather rest and listen to their favorite album rather than going out and partying. That is not to say that they can’t party. On the contrary, sometimes they are the life of the party. Libra’s are incredibly sociable and capable of finding common ground with anyone.
However, if the social butterfly’s proverbial battery runs out and they don’t have time to recharge, they can feel emotionally shut off. Mental overload can sometimes prove too much for their wings to carry and they can become resentful or lash out.
Sometimes Libra’s need to rest in their cocoons before they can take flight. Read on and learn how these butterflies maintain a balance between their personable natures and their personal needs.
Libra At Work
Libra’s are air signs and air signs are great at working with the general public. Yes, even Aquarius, but that is an article for a different day. Libra’s are proficient at networking and excel in professions that offer services rather than tactile goods.
Their discerning yet amicable nature allows them to easily troubleshoot any issues that their clients or customers present to them. A Libra is a people person, but not a people pleaser. They understand that the customer is not always right. They will go above and beyond to provide excellent service to their client, but not at the expense of their own well-being.
Libra In Love
Libra is ruled by Venus, and is therefore one of the more romantic signs in the zodiac. Their partners find them easy to get along with and are often dazzled by their tendency to be both sweet and sensual. They are usually very adept at taking care of their partners’ physical and emotional needs.
As air signs that are represented by weighing scales, Libra’s can become cold and closed off if they feel like their affections are not being reciprocated. When pursuing a relationship with any air sign, it is especially important to keep the lines of communication open at all times.
Libra And Friendship
As stated earlier, Libra’s are peace-keepers and it is always good to have a peace-keeper in your social circle. Not only will they try to resolve any conflict in the friend group, but they will do it without taking sides. Sometimes their insistence on hearing out both sides of an argument can lead people to believe that they are a bit wishy-washy. Libra’s don’t mean to seem ambivalent, they just really want everyone to have their say.
Though they are calm and tender-hearted by nature, they will never hesitate to speak up if they believe there has been an injustice.
Libra’s need balance more than anything. They flourish when they have established a proper work/life balance and a play/rest balance for themselves. Their devotion to their loved ones and their predilection for keeping the peace make me grateful for Libra’s in my life.
