Are you someone who likes to take their time in love? Luxuriating Libra could be the one for you. This sensual sign is ruled by pleasure-planet Venus, and they know how to set a memorable scene. But don’t get your hopes up too quickly. Libra hates to be rushed through anything in life—and that includes the romantic process. If you’re able to delay your gratification, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal companion who never wants the honeymoon phase to end. Find out how you match with this quixotic air sign.
LIBRA + ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries and Libra are opposite signs who can click beautifully, but there are certain to be some questionable moments, too. Self-focused Aries is the zodiac’s solo star who moves through the world independently. Partnership-powered Libra craves companionship and seeks consensus for every decision. Peaceful Libra is a lover; combative Aries is a fighter. Your polar extremes can be complementary, as long as you borrow from the other’s bag of tricks. Rash, temperamental Aries could stand to give others the benefit of the doubt and look before leaping—something patient, diplomatic Libra does well. Languid, overly accommodating Libra can learn to speak up, say no, and take action instead of pondering the possible consequences interminably. Although your differences can be grating, if you play them right, you’ll make a perfectly well-rounded couple. When Aries needs to rant, patient Libra offers uninterrupted listening, capped with sage, sensible feedback. In return, Aries helps Libra overcome a mortal fear of conflict, teaching this sign how to stand up for their rights. As parents, or even business partners, you play the good cop/bad cop routine like seasoned pros. Just be willing to adjust your internal thermostats as needed. Hotheaded Aries will need to dial down anger, lest all that concentrated emotion throw Libra’s scales off balance. Intellectual Libra must descend from that lofty, cultured perch and take a bold risk. (No, Aries does not consider 10 years a reasonable time to wait for an engagement ring—and never will.) Compromise is essential for you to find the right rhythm here, which comes more easily to Libra. Still, Aries must be careful not to steamroll Libra, who will bring out the receipts and making Aries pay once everything seems to be settled into a serene groove.
LIBRA + TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
Could it be kismet? Your signs are both ruled by Venus, the planet of glamour, beauty, and sweet, sweet love, which makes you undeniably attracted to each other. The differences between you, however, are palpable. Taurus is a fixed earth sign who builds a castle by the sweat of their brow, then lords over its inhabitants. Libra is cardinal air, a queen bee who buzzes around, ruling the hive without doing the drone-work. You both want to be in charge, but your clashing leadership styles create a patchwork parliament that can’t agree on anything. Grounded Taurus plants their hooves on terra firma, while airy Libra lives in the clouds. Of course, if the Bull is content to be the provider while Libra dresses up and plays charming host, then this match can work like a charm. You’re certainly an attractive pair of aesthetes, and you share high-end tastes in fashion, décor, food, and all the Venusian pleasures. Shameless snobbery is a shared affliction, but neither of you cares to be cured. You love to talk about art, literature, politics, music, and everything under the sun—though Taurus might find Libra’s values superficial, and moderate Libra will take offense to the Bull’s heavy-handed opinions. At least your sexual attraction is strong, and that will take you far enough. However, conflict-avoiding Libra will need to build up some backbone to avoid being steamrolled by dominating Taurus. The Bull will need to turn down the volume, and Libra must get better at addressing issues head-on, rather than letting them fester.
LIBRA + GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
You’re compatible air signs with silver tongues and gilded wings, a magical match indeed. Libra is a pretty pixie, and Gemini is an impish sprite. Your meeting rouses the fairies and gnomes, stirring up mischief in your midst. You love to mingle and schmooze, and you’ll chatter like a pair of born socialites. But will the breathless excitement between you last? Moving past the superficial attraction stage can be a challenge. Nailing down a commitment is like catching lightning in a bottle since you’re both innately indecisive. (And let’s not even talk about Gemini’s FOMO and Libra’s habit of triple-booking plans.) That said, you both enjoy the free-flowing and imaginative quality of your relationship. It’s when life becomes too mundane that either Gemini or Libra is prone to vanishing in a pinch of enchanted dust. To cement your bond, you’ll need to dip your toes into the murky morass of intimacy, then learn to swim. Money can become an issue between you, particularly figuring out what qualifies as a wise expense. Gemini is ruled by intellectual Mercury and would rather invest in educational experiences (from degrees to retreats), their vinyl collection, and treating their “new friends” (a.k.a. the lively strangers they just met at the bar) to a round of shots. Libra is governed by beauty and pleasure-loving Venus and splashes out on art, couture, custom decor, spas. You’ll need to build separate wings for Gemini’s library of books and Libra’s handbag or shoe collection. You have different approaches to romance, too. Libra loves a lengthy courtship with all the trimmings, but Gemini bristles at picking up too many tabs, especially with Libra’s extravagant taste. You’ll probably need to keep separate accounts to avoid meddling in each other’s purchase habits. Cut up the credit cards, too—many happy relationships can be destroyed by debt. Don’t let that happen to you.
LIBRA + CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
You’re a sweet, romantic couple but not always a perfect match. On the upside, Cancer is ruled by the caring moon and Libra by romantic Venus, casting a tender glow on this love affair. With your mutual design sensibilities, you could open an interiors business or become the go-to consultants for all your friends’ renovation projects. Now, the challenge: Cancer is a profoundly sensitive water sign whose moods fluctuate like the tides. Libra is a social air sign who prefers to stay “up” and find the silver lining of every situation. Between the Crab’s fatalism and Libra’s Pollyanna tendencies, nobody has a rock-solid grip on reality. Better keep a few grounded earth sign friends on speed dial when you lose perspective. Failing that, you’ll need to adapt to each other’s opposing natures. Like a stone skipping across the water’s surface, Libra averts the plunging depths of Cancer’s inconsolable undertows and cloying neediness. Yet, avoidance is futile, since it only upsets the Crab to be ignored. Libra should learn that a tender bear hug, a hand-tied bouquet, and an apology (however undeserved) pave the quickest path to peace. Not that Libra doesn’t have their own powerful undercurrent—when those scales tip out of balance, Libra can escalate a minor breakdown into a Code Orange catastrophe. Admit it: You’re both big babies at times. For long-term success, find activities you both enjoy like travel, language classes, dancing, or dinner parties. You’re gracious hosts and culturally literate people with lots to talk about. Get out, and savor life together.
LIBRA + LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Your glamorous signs sure do make a pretty pair. And you’re certain to be attracted to the other’s standout style and silver-tongued charm. The courtship phase of this connection comes with all your favorite trimmings: oversized bouquets delivered to your office for all your co-workers to see, carefully chosen playlists of your favorite love songs, celebrations of every “first” that you share together. Schmaltzy as it all can be, Leo and Libra are two of the zodiac’s most romantic signs. You’ll spare no expense when you’re falling for one another. On the surface, everything between you looks pleasant and harmonious. The challenge comes when it’s time to deal with a conflict—something Libra would rather avoid until it’s absolutely necessary to confront. Rather than show their unpleasant humanity, Libra might coat issues in saccharine, avoiding touchy topics to keep the happy vibes flowing. However, the artificial sweetness leaves a bitter aftertaste, especially for Leo who might consider a couples’ fight a form of foreplay. (Oh, the passionate makeup sex!) The Lion is a fire sign, with a much more passionate disposition than cooler air-sign Libra. Leo is pushy, Libra procrastinates, and you can get caught in a dance of anger as a result. When truly upset, the Lion roars. Libra can bellow right back but is more likely to withdraw and withhold attention, the thing that Leo most craves. Leo’s demands for affection, praise, and validation can drain Libra after a while. Dramatic highs and lows tip Libra’s scales off balance, inciting a passive-aggressive backlash. You might be better off as friends if you can’t get beyond this impasse.
LIBRA + VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
You’re next-door-neighbor signs who can learn a thing or three from each other. Virgo is a cautious earth sign who plans for the worst and prays for the best. Air-sign Libra not only expects the best, but they also demand it—and thus, usually gets prime pickings. In stressful times, Libra’s charm and balanced perspective is a breath of fresh air. Ruled by neurotic Mercury, Virgo’s mind spirals in every direction as thoughts move a mile a minute. Libra’s ruler is Venus, the goddess of beauty, love, and pleasure. Like a gentle lullaby, Libra smooths the rough spots, helping Virgo relax and find a little patch of peace. While Libra’s promises that “everything will be okay, baby” might be an illusion, it still has a hypnotic effect on Virgo. Socially, you mix well. You both enjoy arts and culture, and you’ll never be at a loss for date ideas: gallery openings, music festivals, town halls. You’re also a fastidious pair—you’ll have the cleanest house on the block, if it’s up to Virgo, and the most tastefully decorated home, if Libra has a say. The one dynamic to beware of: Virgo is the zodiac’s helper, and Libra is its pampered diva. This can easily turn into a caretaking scenario, with Libra feigning helplessness and Virgo scrambling to the rescue. Like Persephone eating the pomegranate seeds that doomed her to Hades, Virgo must be careful not to swallow Libra’s intoxicating tales and sob stories. Set healthy boundaries and learn that it’s not “mean” to say no, even if Libra stomps around and fumes for a bit.
LIBRA + LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
This perfectly pleasant combination works best when one Libra is notably older than the other, like long-lasting Libra couple Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas. That way, it’s clear how to divide up the roles. One of you has to be the primary decision-maker. And that’s no easy feat with two vacillating Libras who can spiral into analysis-paralysis when the grocery checker asks, “Paper or plastic?” Because of this, it can take time for your signs to gel—that is, if the connection doesn’t taper off before the first date. (Hint: Waiting three days to ask each other out is acceptable. Three years? A little extreme.) Procrastination can be your downfall, as can terminal politeness. Should you choose to cohabitate, however, plan on having your own vanities and walk-in closets. Not only do you both like to primp and preen, but you both believe that a little bit of mystery is the key to romance. Zeta-Jones herself once declared individual bathrooms the secret to a successful marriage. Well, for two Libras, non-adjoining sinks and mirrors might just make it into your wedding vows. Once you do come together as a couple, your loyalty to one another is fierce. You make a cunning tag team who should go into sales together. One lash-batting Libra oozes charm, wrapping your prey around a manicured finger; the other swoops in like a hawk for the kill. Later, you’ll divvy the spoils into equal portions and celebrate.
LIBRA + SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Libra is sunshine in a bottle, and Scorpio glows in the dark, but your searing sexual chemistry blazes when the lights are on or off. As a couple, you’re quick to bed and slow to wed. In many ways, the long prenuptial pas de deux is a mutual preference. Slow-jamming Libra loves an extended courtship—expensive dinners, luxury vacations, and lavish gifts. Shrewd, suspicious Scorpio subjects Libra to a battery of character tests, gauging whether Libra can be trusted or not. Libra is a hopeless dilettante whose surface skimming can feel superficial beside Scorpio’s obsessive, detail-focused nature. Because your temperaments are so different, your icebreaker phase can be fraught with misunderstanding. Libra is the social monarch butterfly and an unrepentant flirt, provoking Scorpio’s incurable jealousy at every turn. Libra quickly feels smothered when cooped up too long, and while Scorpio pulls out all the seductive stops to lure Libra back to bed, Libra is mentally calculating what outfit to wear when they slip off to the club for a few hours of dancing (foreplay to Libra). To say you’ll need compromise is an understatement. Combine your strengths, though, and you can also make a powerful society couple—with Scorpio dominating the world from behind the scenes and Libra presiding as its lovely, doe-eyed diplomat.
LIBRA + SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Easygoing Libra and the witty Archer become fast friends who make each other laugh or shore each other up before an impending stormy mood has a chance to make landfall. People-watching is a favorite pastime for both signs, and you can amuse each other with clever observations all day. Romantic Libra brings poetry and flowers to Sag’s gritty, profanity-strewn world, and active Sagittarius gets Libra’s nose out of the rosebush. Still, your different paces could cause friction. Languid Libra likes to take everything slow, weighing and measuring possibilities on those iconic Scales before acting. Naturally, this frustrates impetuous Sag’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it attention span. The Archer prefers to leap before looking, relying on luck and goodwill to save the day. Such gambling and lack of security throws Libra’s delicate constitution into a tizzy. Sagittarius finds Libra’s champagne tastes elitist and unnecessary—why pay over $20 for anything you can get at a thrift shop or make yourself? Sagittarius’ half-baked ideas and churlish outbursts rain public embarrassment on Libra’s carefully cultivated rep. When Libra plays damsel or dude in distress one time too many, independent Sag flees instead of rushing in for the rescue yet again. So why stay together? At the end of the day, your mutual respect and love for one another remains solid. There’s no conflict you can’t talk through after a time-out. Although you might drift in and out of platonic feelings, you genuinely care for each other—and that speaks volumes when it comes to playing the long game in love.
LIBRA + CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorn is the provider sign, forever attracting mates in need of financial backing. Libra is a glamorous socialite who’s happy to play muse to an earthy benefactor. You have your differences, yet those might be the very glue that keeps you two coming back for more. In many ways, you can pick up where the other leaves off—or fears to tread altogether. Libra is a life of the party with a billion second-tier “friends” who will happily chatter about semi-superficial topics like art, music, and a designer’s jaw-dropping spring collection. Capricorn can be an antisocial Grinch who cleaves to childhood cronies and family. Libra splurges on impulsive luxuries; Capricorn plans for tomorrow. Battles can be brutal, especially if you share a bank account. You’re both convinced of your natural superiority; your haughty contretemps and ego showdowns merit a Bravo series. Controlling Capricorn would never allow cameras into the estate (unless they had final say over the edits). Libra would whip together a stylist, understudy, and five-star craft services, and let the cameras roll. Therein lies the difference: your values. Not an easy hurdle to scale, even for a determined Goat or a patient Judge. A successful relationship will require much compromise. The fawning affection that romantic Libra craves will be in short order. Capricorn shows love through acts of service and loyalty, not pandering. Libra must learn to accept love in a less-adorned package, and trade a few parties for cozy nights in. Capricorn must exit the cave to meet new people, play host, and smile once a season. You can do it—but will you be happy? That’s the deciding factor.
LIBRA + AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
This is one of the zodiac’s most delightful matches: two carefree air signs breezing through life with a full roster of friends, travels, and adventures. All this can be twice the fun when experienced together. Although Libra is more the dashing diva or dandy and Aquarius the quirky bohemian, your sunny social dispositions pair well. Every stranger is greeted by your mutually curious embrace. Fascinating additions to your social circle can be found while chatting at the cheese counter, lounging poolside, or in a dog park scene reminiscent of an Ephron rom-com; in fact, you might have met each other in a serendipitous way. (Picture Aquarius’ retriever pouncing on Libra’s dainty teacup terrier—what a metaphor). Your conversational chemistry guarantees a great first date, even if the prevailing vibe is platonic. If you hit it off, you’ll quickly establish yourselves as the reigning royals of the social scene. Get ready for a fabulous future that involves hosting lavish parties with an eclectic mix of Aquarius’ artsy activists and Libra’s highbrow intellectuals, bringing them all together with panache. Caution: Your casual natures can impede intimacy. In private, you can both be moody, making pouty, indirect plays for affection and sex. Aquarius is also far less romantic than Libra, at least in the traditional sense. Most days, you take those differences in stride. Having a lifelong playmate is worth it.
LIBRA + PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Drifting into a dappled dreamscape of your own imagination, your poetic souls entwine against astrological odds. Libra is an air sign and Pisces is a water sign; together, you can stir a gentle sea breeze or drown in your own sexual tsunami. No matter the outcome, you’ll both agree on one thing: The high-key, fairy-tale romance is worth being rocked by those waves. Like any good bodice-ripper, there’s passion, intrigue, and mystique to spice up this storyline. The clock melts away when you’re together as you get lost for hours in a decadent meal, a lilting sonata, the specks of color in each other’s luminous eyes. While the cynics gag, they secretly envy your enchanted, oxytocin-addled bliss. The full-bodied gratification of your shared time eclipses all boundaries and structures. Another Sancerre, an hour less sleep—it can all be justified in the name of enjoying a magical moment. Living out a fantasy is what your signs are here to do. Libra is directed by amorous Venus, the planet of pleasure and amore, while Pisces is guided by enchanting, escapist Neptune. It’s when reality steps in that things get tricky. After waking past noon in your umpteenth limb-and-linen tangle, you remember that deadline you blew past, your stuffed inbox, the unopened third reminder notice from your landlord. Oops. Hungover and wholly unequipped to deal with the overwhelm, you might lash out at each other, which can devolve into ugly backbiting and interminable silent treatments. Without outside contact and obligations to anchor you, you can both descend into bouts of moodiness, indulgence, and even depression. Balance—the Libra catchphrase—must be practiced early on so that you can enjoy your one-of-a-kind love spell while keeping at least a couple of toes planted firmly on solid ground.
