Ah, beautiful Libra! The sign of diplomacy, tact and grace. This is the zodiac sign that values justice, balance and harmony.
In the presence of a Libra or someone with a strong Libra energyyou can’t help but be charmed by their witty nature, delightful appeal and desire for justice!
Of course, Libra also has its dark side, just like any other sign: it’s not all roses and moonshine.
Libra is a sign that does not tolerate conflict as well as it often does something to avoid it. Sometimes this can mean going against their beliefs or compromising their morals, which can lead them to even more inner conflict.
Unless Libra has other signs in his chart that are more outspoken and ready to go into battle, such as Aries or Scorpio, both ruled by warrior planet Mars. This sign can really struggle with dealing with conflict because it naturally tends to make everyone happy.
So Libra must find that balance within itself – the balance that takes others into account, but does not forget to take itself into account as well.
That’s where they can learn from their opposite, Aries, the bold and brilliant sign that’s all about me, me me! While Aries focuses on ‘I’, Libra focuses on ‘we’.
A Libra who is out of balance with themselves can quickly become a doormat and take advantage. They may gain a reputation for being two-faced or cowardly and even lose their sense of identity.
That’s when they need to tap into the energy of Aries, which is known for its courage and self-confidence. Aries knows who it is – and it doesn’t matter who she doesn’t like. This daring sign will do as it pleases, and curse the consequences!
If Libra can take a little of that confidence and combine it with their wonderfully tactful and diplomatic nature, then we have someone capable of making big changes for the better, not just in their personal life but in the world.
