To describe a Libran one must take into consideration the balance factor in their horoscope. Because of the principle of balance there are usually few extremes in Libran people. Harmony in all aspects of life is of paramount importance to a Libran, especially in their daily routine, job or home life. They attract to friends who are untroubled and have some form of direction in their life. They are not born with stringent, competitive, aggressive, striving qualities and they prefer the quiet life out of the rat race. When they are put under severe pressure, they may at times get upset or lose their composure to a degree. They are certainly not weak people and will raise their flag of social justice if anyone tries to pull the wool over their eyes. They can become aggressive and resentful when they need to be, under special circumstances. Psychologically their primitive urge is for unity and relatedness with others. They have a strong sense of social duty and a need to conform to an ideal pattern of community life. An underlying sense of personal inadequacy can lead them to misunderstandings through doing what they think is expected. They are very intelligent and capable of very balanced judgement, but inclined to indecision, easily influenced by the opinions of others. Basically their thinking is cheerful, optimistic, compromising. They will always have a big heart and the hardest problem for them to overcome throughout their lives is learning to say no. In most cases they will find themselves saying yes more than they should.

Although a Libran woman is charming, attractive, seductive, elegant, sentimental and mentally active, she can be a procrastinator, very indecisive in her personal and sexual life. She operates with the best of intentions and loves to please others, but not often herself. Librans often fall in and out of love, usually marry early in life and divorce at least once. They need a partner who is more aggressive and indulgent than the norm and in many cases they will attract to a partner with an age or background difference.

Librans love to cater for their partner in the realms of emotion and love, but they are never quite sure how far to go. As a mate they can be idealistic, moody, sensitive, demanding, accommodating, refined and romantic. But if someone crosses them in their love life the scales will tilt and so will the resentful side of their personality. They must always remember that it is them who always want attention, and at times their partner needs it too.

Libra rules the veins, kidneys and lumbar vertebrae.
