Star Signs

Are you a true Libra?

Characteristics:

With the need for balance and peace, comes a dislike of conflict, and so many Librans will refrain from taking sides and offending people.
A Librans need for peace and balance can also have a positive effect in their friendships, making them great listeners and problem solvers.
They hate to be alone so this also makes them very sociable beings.

Compatibility:

Surprisingly, Librans are not always compatible with fellow Librans due to their laid-back attitudes.
You can have too much of a good thing with some personality traits!
Librans generally get along well with the other air signs (Gemini and Aquarius), and the fire signs of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.
The core characteristics of both these elements can complement or mirror each other, often leading to the peace, harmony, intellect, or social buzz that Librans seek.

Symbol: The Scales

"Whatever dispute needs resolution, the scales will see to it, well acquainted with the tables of the law." (Manilius, 1st Century)

Libra is the only sign of the zodiac not represented by any living creature, but that doesn't make its symbol any less powerful.
The scales represent a Librans need for balance and peace in their lives. This can mean an avoidance of decision making, or acting as a mediator to resolve conflict.

Element: Air

Just like The Scales, Air can also represent a need for balance, and objectivity.
Air signs essentially rule their lives with their minds, making them clever thinkers and astute observers.
The other main quality associated with air is flexibility, enabling an air sign to adapt or bring new viewpoints to situations.

Star Stone: Opal

One of the enduring myths surrounding this stone is that anyone other than a Scorpio wearing it will receive bad luck.
This myth was started by Sir Walter Scott in his novel Anne of Gierstein.
Opals are also popular in so-called rituals and spells, with different colours said to prevent anything from hair losing its colour to bad dreams.
The Opal has also been recognised as a symbol of faithfulness and confidence.
