Oh, the scales. I’m not referring to those scary ones telling us we’ve had too much ice cream. I mean the symbol for Libra, the friendliest zodiac sign, which happens to be mine.
According to astrology, Libras are seen as harmonious, pleasant, and well-balanced folks. You know, the scales represent that balance. Dig a bit deeper, and there’s more to us, though it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.
If you happen to date or fall in love with a Libra, these bits of info might help you navigate the relationship better. Let’s be real: When you have a Libra partner, you’d probably want to keep them around forever.
So, here’s what you should know about loving and being loved by a Libra woman.
1. We’re a bit unconventional.
If you fall in the middle of the Libra spectrum, born between October 4 and 13, you might find us a tad peculiar. Whether it’s making animal sounds during a chat or copying cat antics (sorry, can’t help it), or even creating odd dance moves in our kitchens, our eccentricity is here to stay.
2. We struggle with decisions — or do we?
(See what I did there?) Whether it’s a major job change or a simple choice between chicken and fish, every decision feels like a life-or-death matter to us. We meticulously weigh the pros and cons, our heart rates go up, and our faces show the struggle. Once a decision is made (often by someone else), there’s a good chance we’ll regret it instantly or spend ages wondering what could’ve been.
We’ll take you along on this rollercoaster, so buckle up!
3. We’re peace lovers.
Imagine us in a beauty pageant because, folks, all we want is some darn world peace. While that might not be entirely achievable, we’ll work on it at a more personal level.
Don’t like someone? Even if we share those feelings, we’ll sing their praises to you because fairness matters. If our best friends clash, we’ll put all our energy into patching things up; the stress of a rift is just too much! But being diplomats, it often means…
4. We find it hard to say no.
Our to-do list might be as long as 16 pages, yet we’ll agree to a last-minute work project, help a family member, or assist a friend with her resume. We’ll do it with a smile and gripe about it later.
By the way, now that you know this, don’t think about exploiting it and asking us for countless favors because, ugh, we’ll probably say yes.
5. We battle with FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out, in case you’ve been living under a rock). And envy.
I hate admitting it, but it’s true. Both FOMO and jealousy stem from the same desire: we want the lowdown on everything, all the time.
When deciding whether to attend an event, FOMO often tips the scale. What if Amy Poehler shows up randomly, hears about the event, and I miss it? Or what if our friends have a blast and spend the next month cracking inside jokes I don’t get? Those thoughts will haunt us forever.
As for jealousy, it has nothing to do with trust in you; it’s us. Without all the details of your night out with buddies, our minds conjure up worst-case scenarios all on their own.
6. We’re charming and enjoy flirting. What can I say?
Libras are a smooth group. No need to worry, we’re not cheaters – we’ll be fiercely loyal to you. We’ll just do it while being charismatic and engaging with everyone else.
7. We need time to recharge.
Some folks might call this Libra trait “laziness.” (And yes, those folks can kiss my charming, peacemaking rear.)
Sure, we like our downtime, but it’s only to recharge for success, fun, and upcoming adventures. So, if that means staying in on a Friday night or taking a mid-afternoon nap on a Sunday, deal with it.
8. We appreciate beautiful things.
Okay, okay: We’re a bit materialistic and have a slight shopping habit. We understand the value of investing in quality, whether it’s handbags or home décor, and we’re usually willing to spend on it.
Before you get all worked up, know that doesn’t mean we expect diamonds served on 14K gold platters. (But, we won’t say no to it either.)
9. We’re excellent listeners.
Lovers, share your problems with us. While we can’t promise to solve them, we’ll always lend a sympathetic ear and give you the attention and emotional support that might help ease those worries.
10. We like taking on new challenges.
We’re not content with settling (see: not lazy) and are always looking for the next adventure: guitar classes, triathlon training, or learning a new language.
Even if we’re content in our lives and careers, we still crave challenges and will always make time for them. If that means less time for you sometimes, well, apologies.
11. We’re crazy about fall.
Yes, the season. The one with the crisp air, beautiful leaves, and oh yeah, Halloween.
We know everyone loves it (if you don’t, there’s something definitely wrong with you), and we pretty much claim ownership of it based on our birthdates. And we go all out for its duration every year. Apple picking? Haunted houses? Baking pumpkin bread? Drinking spiked cider? Let’s do it all!
