It’s Libra season! So why not celebrate by striking up a new romance with this generous, fair, and sensual zodiac sign? Never dated one before? Well here are all the reasons you want to swipe right on The Scales ASAP — and one rationale to be wary.
Libras crave peace and harmony in their lives. They are all about balance. Whether that's in their work-life balance, or with friends, family, and romance. They don’t crave drama, just peace of mind and heart. Which can be incredibly soothing to be around — and frankly we could all learn a bit from this sign.
Libra is symbolized by The Scales, this represents how they approach the world with an emphasis on fairness and equality. In a relationship, this translates to a true partnership based on equality. They will not try to dominate (unless we’re talking in the bedroom, but we’ll get to that) but also have strict boundaries and expectations for how they are to be treated.
Libras are very visual people, they are drawn to and appreciate beauty — and they aren't afraid to express it when they see something or someone they like. They pay attention and will notice that new sweater or haircut and let you know just how adorable they find you regularly.
Libra is a highly sensual sign who isn't afraid to play with power dynamics — in the bedroom. They are happy to give, but keep in mind they will also expect to receive. Reciprocity in all things is the Libra motto and that includes sexy times. Want to take your Libra’s sexual experience to the next level, focus on their lower back, this is one of their most sensitive erogenous zones. And being a balance and fairness-focused sign, make sure to incorporate plenty of 69ing in the boudoir. Also, just so you know, they are going to want to keep the light on/
Libra is ruled by Mercury, the planet associated with communication. As such they have a natural knack for expressing themselves and are good listeners. While they may struggle a bit when it comes to conflict — as it upsets their harmonious life — once you engage in that conversation their emotional intelligence makes it far more likely that your discussions will be productive ones.
Because Libra is such a good communicator and tends to be generous with their words of affirmation, they truly do know how to make you feel like the center of their universe.
Looking for drama and epic arguments, swipe left when you see a Libra because they will not be interested. Rather than being baited into a big blow Libra shuts down and dips out. The quickest way to lose your Libra love is with constant conflict. Choose your battles wisely and approach them with calm and logic and you’ll get the same in return.
While you may not get the passionate fights out of a Libra, you will get plenty of romance. This sign loves the trappings of classic romantic things. Roses, fine dining, long walks at sunset, they just can’t help themselves when it comes to ravishing their partner with romantic gestures.
While Libra is very ethical, they are not prudish. They are adventurous and spontaneous which means they make for an exciting sexual partner. And it's also true outside of the bedroom. Libra is adventurous and thrives on new experiences and meeting new people. They want to get out on the town and socialize and try new things. Netflix and chilling, yeah not so much.
Libra has an eye for beauty and design, which means their home, their grooming, their, well, everything is impeccable. So your surroundings will be gorgeous at all times — and before you know it your wardrobe will be, too.
While Libras make for excellent partners. They are loving, romantic, frisky in the sack, and good communicators, no one is perfect. Libra’s biggest drawback is they tend to have loose lips. Just know they will spill your secrets. It's not malicious, they just can’t resist sharing everything, and — well let's be honest, they live for a good gossip sesh with all their best girlies and gays.
