Venus is the planet associated with love, and for people with a Libra star sign, love and romance are very important. Librans are usually sensual and passionate in a relationship, and they believe that loved ones and friends should be an active part of their life. Librans tend to be charming and good-natured, as they seek harmony and peace in their interactions with others. Librans tend to “get along” with everyone, and much prefers to be with company than alone.

One who is a Libra will seek out partners who can fill their lives with beautiful things: beautiful love, ideas and actions. They are affectionate and romantic, and will embrace any opportunity to show their love: candlelit dinners, giving their partners gifts, or even loving notes left on their partner’s pillow. People in a relationship with a Libran will always feel that they are amazingly special and cared for, and a Libran will seek out a partner that makes them feel the same way. They need to find someone who is compatible before that can find fulfillment within a relationship.

Those who are born under the sign of Libra often search for their dream love from the very beginning. They understand the nuances of seduction intuitively, and they enjoy the rituals of courtship and flirtation. They like to sweep someone off their feet, and also to be swept off their feet in return. They appreciate neatness in life, appearance, and action, all of which appeal to the Libra individual, as they are often seeking balance. Librans will often think nothing of telling a little white lie, if doing so can avoid someone’s feeling being hurt, as they prefer to avoid discord where possible.

An ideal mate for a Libran is often an Aries, who is your opposite from the perspective of the zodiac. Your alignment to Venus complements the Mars alignment of an Aries well, as each of you provide balance to the other. Librans also have strong compatibility with Gemini and Aquarius signs.
