You’ve probably heard stereotypes about Libras: they’re charming, but they cheat… they’re fair, but non-committal. Like every astrological sign, the characteristics of a Libra can manifest in both good and bad ways. Here a few pros and cons of being with a Libra – and thoughts on how to make the Libra personality work in your relationship.
Pro: fair and diplomatic
Con: indecisive and insecure
All signs of the zodiac are represented by either a person or an animal – except Libra, whose sense of justice is represented by a set of scales. Libras tend to put fairness above all else. They don’t like conflict, and often take the role of intermediary to get those around them to cooperate. Their sense of fairness and diplomacy can be refreshing in a world full of self-interested people.
On the other hand, Libras are so concerned with avoiding conflict that they are often indecisive and insecure. Being in a relationship with a Libra can be frustrating if your partner is more concerned with making things appear fair than with taking a stand.
The key to being with a Libra is to praise them for their noble ability to take in multiple points of view and try to create harmony. When they’re being indecisive, gently prod them into action by reminding them that they can still make a decision one way or another – without sacrificing fairness.
Pro: pleasant, charming
Con: frivolous and flirtatious
Libras are notoriously charming and have a fondness for extravagance in all areas, including romance. Motivated by beauty and pleasure, Libras have a unique ability to surround a relationship in incredible sensuality. Of course the flips side is that Libras often don’t limit their sensuality to their main squeezes. They are so drawn to the beauty of potential partners that they may indulge in reckless flirtations.
The key is to tell your Libra how much you enjoy their sensuality. Thank them for their romantic gestures. If you sense that a flirtation with someone else is going too far, make it clear that such behavior is unacceptable. Being born under the Libra sign isn’t a get out of jail free card, after all.
Pro: perceptive
Con: scatterbrained
Because of their sense of fairness, Libras are often perceptive about the feelings of those around them – and are often considered the most empathetic of all signs of the zodiac. More than mere social grace, the Libra can possess an ability to sense the wants and needs of others.
Of course, absorbing the energy of other people can set Libras apart from the crowd. They may be affected by others’ moods, but because of the intuitive nature of these experiences, they cannot always share them. Because of their psychic abilities to perceive disharmony, Libras can seem unfocused, scatterbrained or inconsistent.
The solution is to acknowledge your Libra’s gift of perception, and offer support when they are overwhelmed by it. Be conscious of how your own energy may be affecting them, and offer them some alone time as a sanctuary from the disharmony that surrounds them.

I’m a Libra and I can’t believe what I’m reading..Lol..I’m very precise when it comes to business and love to laugh..but I will say I love to flirt! If I’m in a relationship thats going good and my way I’m very loyal..but selfishness (not)..I help everyone even when I don’t have it I’m very giving. But maybe its the Libra men thats bad because I’ve never dated one..And also I’m very caring and care about other people’s feelings when I should be paying attention to my own..so maybe there is some truth about who a Libra is but I read alot of negative comments on here and I’m like this isn’t me..
I’ve been dating a libra for afew months then he broke up cause my horromones was out of control just got back together and Ilove him! Don’t want to get hurt I’m a virgo sign
The comment made about “killing” libra men was WAY out of control. How can you judge all Libra men by the idiot that you were with??? Watch what you say, karma can be a *itch.
I hate to say it , but I got to agree with Bb brite. I wish I could have gotten my head out of my ass along time ago. Libra men have no conscience.
Libra’s are selfish,greedy ,jealous,gold diggers,wick ,flirts/womanizers,who has no manners & respect for nobody regardless…not even God…..!!!!! They are users & ABUSERS in all full of lies & deceitfully toques……just say away from libra guy & say bye…..to broken heart & heart attack to enjoy the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AFTER YOUR DEATH ON this EARTH ……..this is UNDISPUTABLE FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Large’!!!!!!!!!!!HUGE…………
I’m Libra as well my partner. Sometimes I don’t now how to deal with this man . Funny then moody then big flirt. He need lot of attention if not, he is quiet ,silent , he refused to talk .We are together 4 years and not young any more and I wish he can grow up . Because life is too short . I love him very much ,we have lot of in comment , when he is good mood we laught like crazy . cooking , dancing, yoga , spa etc . Maybe he is not normal Libra , I don’t know how to please this man any more. I feel I’m not good enough for him.
I am an Aquarius who vis dating a Libra Maan, so far things are going great, but people have told me that he has cheated with a lot of women in the past..But my preception is if you give him his accolades ,tell him every day how special HE is to you, then he in return will return the samew…I must say SO FAR SO GOOD.
I resent whoever made that petty remark about all Libra men being cheats. That is a huge nominalization. I think your just upset about what happened. I have never cheated on a woman ever and I am a libra man. In fact ive been cheated on over eight times with different. Ive even let it happen even though it killed me inside because i wanted them to be happy. We libras do tend to be very sexual though and we often feel unnapreciated easily if we arent told repeatledy were needed. Perhaps this is why some libras cheat because they dont feel any reciprocity is happening. Dont assume a few libras speak for all of them some tend to display the more negative libran traits while some like me have more positive aspects. IE Im strongly intuitive to the point where some people i meet would say im psychic. Ihave a strong tendecncy to feel certain things about people i dont know and am consistently right , and in a relationship if at any point i feel im giving more than im getting i leave immediately.
I am a Libra and living with a Gemini. I am 49 and very set in my ways. He is a very quiet man and does not talk about his feelings which makes me close up also, he is a Gemini. We have been together for almost 2 years and I so want it to work! I just lost my husband after being together for 24 years. I miss him alot!!! he was also a man who bottled up his feelings and always thought everything was just fine when many many times it was just the opposite. I dealt with it but ended up cheating on him, which was not good. I told him about it and asked for a divorce, but I really did not want one, I just wanted my cake and eat it too. We did not get a divorce and soon after he became very ill. He fell going out our front door on black ice and broke his tibia and fibia and ended up having his leg amputated, within a year he lost his other leg and had 2 heart attacks & two strokes. The short version of it all is that he ended up in a nursing home and died within a year at the age of 62. I stood by him all the way and am very proud of it. All in All we did have a great marriage, when I now hear of others problems it makes our problems seem so miner and am very glad we never did get a divorce. I just hope the relationship I am in now can be half as good. I love him & his family and that does help ALOT. I did not like or understand the ways of my husband who passed aways mother but loved his father, who passed away a short year from my husband. I really think it broke his heart and he could not deal with his son, my husbands, passing! my husband was his name sake and they were very close. Well I need to stop rambling and just ask the question that is really on my mind.
Will the man I am with & I be together forever? I sure hope so!!! I love him & his family soooo much.
I’M WITH A ARies but sometime we dont get along he aways want thing his way, by me bending who i’m its hard, aries and libra together what do you do tell me do stay or go
I am a Libra. I was married for 24 years to a Virgo. At first things were fine but he wanted me to have no friends, expect those we both shared a friendship with. He belittled me, and did smack me very hard one time. He was terribly cruel to our boys’. He beat them with his belt.
I had a neighbor who was a Libra too. She was in an unhappy marrige like me. We started to go out about once a week just to talk and try to help each other out. He eventually got mad and accused us of having a lesbian relationship. i COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT i WAS HEARING FROM HIS MOUTH. Well I could go on and onbut in 1984
he died of a heart attack. I felt terrible. I am now 71, and I have a Cancer friend for over ten years. I care for him very much, actually it really is love. He is very kind and loves my kids. I am hoping that this relationship can turn into something really special. I don’t push,and am lovingly waiting.
I was married to an Aries for 30 years and all he ever did was cheat and lie to me . So then i met a man that is a LIBRA and i have fallen in love with him. He says he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. I am afraid to commit because of the last marriage what do you think? should I continue with the libra or go back to the aries? i need advise
I’m a Leo woman but I find myself attracted to Libra, odd match.
The Libra I’m dating is so addicted to falling in true love but on the other hand he is the biggest woman to woman flirt I’ve ever seen. Mixed bag eh?
He hides things to avoid conflict, but so do I , he balances my dramatic tendencies and I try to soothe his need for unattainable perfection. He is such a flirt, he ends up flirting than apologizing the next day, making insensitive love jokes that kills me inside and apologizing. Emotionally, he understands me , intellectually and physically. We are both love the arts and the same philosophy , we are both outgoing.
But that describes him, an indecisive, sensitive, flirt. Libras are god awful and confusing but so endearing. I just want to make him a happy guy. I’m not sure I can.
I love my Libra. We were married this past April. I am almost 70 and he just turned 77. His son did not want us to get married because he thinks I want his father’s trust account. When this was brought up, I didn’t know he had a trust account. His son will have nothing to do with me and refuses to let me come to his home for any reason. My husband, will not take a stand with him and now informs me that holidays will be spent with his son and I can spend my holidy any way I want. His son has now won, we are a part. I know my husband will die a very lonely man. I know he loves me. I don’t know if this is the action of a Libra but it sure hurts. He will not discuss issues of any kind. He refuses to talk with me about our situation. He often says, just give it time and it will resolve itself. Well time has gone by and our situation just gets worse. I feel I have been sacraficed. The son feels his dad has betrayed their mother since she has passed away by marrying me. I feel sacraficed.
I am a sagi I love a libra.i was.a l jeoules type thats.what broke us apart and I was confuse about when she lies but did want her fory kids miss yousorry for breaking up a good looking family miss my little boy iwas there for his first b day

No, it does not work. I tried this for 3 years until I realized that my giving nature was sharply taken advantage by my Libra ex. The libra women arent like that. But stay away from Libra guys. They make the worst lovers. My ex’s stupid nature makes his new gf breakup and makeup million times. Thank God, I am saved from him. Meanwhile, my boyfriend keeps telling me how his Libra friend is a cheater and gold digger. He cheats on his girlfriend all the time. For a few years he even refused to marry her. But now he is urging to marry her because she bought a house for herself. I know one client of mine who got raped by her Libra ex. I say these guys should be put in jail as soon as they take birth. Otherwise, the moms should make a point to get them aborted right in the womb.
I don’t know. Sometimes I seem to be all over the place. I’m loyal to my mate if it makes me happy. I’m dating a Gemini and I get confused what to say at times. I feel that I’m attracted to the arts to the mystic the unknow and love to be able to talk to some one that has that in common with me. Yes I can be very open with my feelining to a fault at times.
Me and My boyfriend are libra’s and if I tell you we both get a little crazy, But when it comes to our love no one can stand in our way,,
As for me” Libra’s love Love.. When with someone they have no need to cheat and being indecisive is a Libra trait.. We do avoid conflict and tend to hide things that may hurt out partner… Empathetic is very true.. We want things to be fair but then again being indecisive makes us crazy.. I love being in a real relationship so I tend to avoid one night stands… I want to be with someone like me=LIBRA! I think it is the best match for me..
