What’s a Libra?
Between September 23 to October 22, the heavens open up, and angels are born on earth. They are known as Libras and they are divinely gifted to the earth. Whether they are like the angels that help people, or they are more like Satan is another story. The Zodiac Sign of Libra is influenced by the planet Venus. This gives them impeccable senses of style, motivation to create a harmonious world, and the desire to be in loving relationships. In their careers, Libras excel in all areas of the arts, and may be the only creative person in their social group to land a job in the arts they can actually pay bills with instead of being starving artists living in their parent’s basement.
Libras find themselves in leadership positions quite often because they are a Cardinal Air Sign. Air Signs are intellectual, excellent communicators, and flexible. They are excellent listeners and strive to be fair, all qualities people admire in leaders. Cardinal Signs are also great leaders, they self-motivate well, and they inspire others to excel. Although Libras can be bossy, they understand you win more flies with honey and they manage to find ways to make people feel good about following their lead.

Libra’s Best Traits
It's not fair to discuss someone's worst traits without pointing out their best traits first. Libras are so well known for their best trades you might not know they have dark traits. They are mediating peacemakers who are able to bring people together. Part of that is because they're charming and they genuinely care about making the world better. They're great friends and they're highly sought after, sensual lovers.
Mediating Peace Makers
Libras want everybody to get along. That's because if people are not getting along with one another, they are creating a toxic environment and Libras can't stand that. Libras are good at finding ways to politely explain to people what they need to stop doing if they want to get good results. They're always looking at both sides of the story and they're able to stay neutral and make everybody feel good about finding solutions together. They can look their best friend in the eye and tell them that they are full of it, and diplomatically make them feel good about changing that behavior.
Charming
Libras have a reputation for their charm. They seem to know just what to say and what to do to make everyone comfortable. They have a smile that can light up a room and they don't mind changing their approach to make everyone comfortable. A lot of their charm lies in the fact that Libras believe everyone's feelings matter, even if you're not someone who's really their type of person. Their love of harmony makes them want to create a harmonious environment no matter what they're in charge of. Everybody loves to be around them because of that. It also makes them great at building relationships, but what’s the point of relationships? Find out here: What’s the Point of a Relationship? Do They Matter?
Social Justice Warriors
Libras have strong beliefs about what is wrong and what's right. Rather than just cry, feel sorry for themselves at the state of the world or complain on the Internet, they will get up and try to change things. This earns them a reputation for caring deeply about the world and caring deeply about other people. One thing Libras don't bother with is people’s opinions who disagree with them on what's wrong and right. They will do what they feel is right no matter what anyone else says. This can put them at odds with people who want to assume control of Libras and use them for their own desires. Good luck with that, because Libras don't have any tolerance for that.
Great Friends
Libras have a reputation for being great friends simply because they are. They make their friends and family members the center of their world. Some people might feel that they need their Libra, but nobody needs friendship and love the same way that a Libra does. When it comes to friendships and family relationships, Libr’s philosophy is that their world revolves around the people that they love, so they don't necessarily have to check their schedule and back get back to you. They check and see what they can remove from their schedule so they can make time for you. They even stay friends with some exes, but is that even possible?

Sensual Lovers
Everybody loves sex, and Libras are no exception. However, most Libras don't just have sex to have an orgasm, they want a connection with their partner. Sex isn't just a physical jolt for them, it's an expression of how they feel about you. If they don't like your personality, think you have poor hygiene, or have had an argument with you, sex is pretty much out of the question. A lot of Libras don't want people to ask them for sex, they prefer to initiate. Sex has to be on their terms and when they want it. So if they want you as a sexual partner, be assured they really mean it.
Libra’s Ten Worst Traits
No one's perfect, and believe it or not, even a Libra isn’t. Libras seemed to be so charming and so well composed that they could make no mistakes, but nothing could be further from the truth. Even charming, beautiful Libras have their dark side. Since they're working so hard to assure peace, they can be highly argumentative and they can be cold hearted when they decide to cut you off. Read on to learn about these two traits and eight more as we investigate ten of Libra's darkest traits.
Argumentative
When you think of a peace-loving individual, you don't think of someone who could earn a living arguing professionally. Think again, because if you decide to argue with the Libra, you're in for a surprise. They will have thought out all of their points and counterpoints before you even disagree with them. They will devote themselves wholeheartedly to trying to convince you that they are right. That's because they think they are right and it's very important to them that they convert you to their way of thinking in certain circumstances. Before you pull your hair out and throw in the towel with a Libra, stop and listen. They probably know what they're talking about and if you listen to them respectfully, they will be more respectful when they debate with you.

People-Pleasing
Sometimes, Libra doesn't feel like keeping it real and being brutally honest, and they don't feel like having a debate. They will do whatever they have to do to keep people happy so that they can keep their peace. They will go out of their way to please everyone and exhaust themselves to the point that they resent the hell out of people for it. It's not pretty, but they do it because they pick their battles very well. Some people get highly frustrated about this and believe that Libras are being phony, but they're not. They're doing whatever it takes to keep things from exploding.
Shallow
Libra's love of beauty can make them emotionally superficial and conceited. They can work so hard to surround themselves with the most beautiful things in life that they'll be downright snooty if they feel like other people don't. If you invite them to your house and they won't touch anything, that means they think you're not clean enough for their standards. There's nothing you can do about this. Clean up the house a little better if you don't want them to snarl when they walk in the door. Another Zodiac sign that has zero tolerance for your messy house is Virgo and you can read about them here: Virgo Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Flighty
Libras have a very bad reputation for being overly changeable in nature. They think of themselves as being flexible and adaptable. Some people think that they have no staying power and they say they're flighty. They say Libras are wishy washy and shift wherever the wind blows them. That's not fair. Libras know that there's a big world out there. If a relationship or a situation isn't working out for them, they're smart enough to know and they won't stick around. Instead of trying to change them, try to be a little more like them, because they've got a point.
Coldhearted
A Libra might not walk around with scissors in their hands- but if they feel pushed too far, they will cut you off so fast your head will spin. They are known as harmonious social justice warriors who seek peace. The peace they will protect most of all is their own. Launching into an argument is one way they will protect their peace, getting rid of you is another way. Some people feel like Libras aren't the friends that they say they are that they actually are. Don't put the scissors in their hand if you don't want them to cut you off, because they will.

Self-Absorbed
Shadow libras can be highly self-absorbed. Some Libras are downright spoiled and self-centered, but others are self-absorbed because they are highly sensitive and need to protect themselves. A sensitive Libra who is bogged down, unappreciated, exhausted, or just hurt as a miserable individual indeed. Every Libra finds a way to try and create the world that they believe is best. That's on their terms, not yours. Accept their standards and you can work with them. If you find them too self-centered, you can't.
Flirtatious
Venus makes Libras great flirts. Some people find this downright offensive. If a Libra truly likes you romantically, they will lay it on thick. They will be the first to reach out, they will send you gifts, they will give you compliments, and they will let you know that they are constantly available anytime you want to get together. A single Libra looking to keep their options open will flirt with lots of people at the same time. While some people think this means Libra has the roving eye, it just means they're single and they can do whatever they please. Deal with it. Another Zodiac sign that's a terrible flirt is Gemini, and you can read more about them here: Gemini Traits | Star Sign in The Spotlight
Overspending
Libras are prone to shopping too much and spending too much money on what they like, simply because of their impeccable sense of style. They want the finest things in life, and surrounding themselves with the things they find beautiful gives them a strong sense of emotional security. Libras don't mind working hard to earn enough money to have the type of life they want. If you find a Libra frivolous in their spending, don't combine finances with them because they're not going to change.
Unsolicited Advisors
Everybody tells Libras what great advice they give. Sometimes they start spouting off advice before they've been asked for it. There are two ways to deal with this. One, know that their heart is in the right place and they're just trying to help. You can nod and say you appreciate their concern and change the subject. You can also be very blunt and tell them to just stop because you didn't ask their opinion. Another Zodiac sign that gives great advice is Taurus and you can read about them here: Taurus Traits | Star Sign in the Spotlight
Moody
It's possible that Libras have the most mood swings of any Zodiac sign. That's because their moods are dependent on the people around them. Air is a very intellectual sign, and mentally they're always thinking and overthinking things. Relationships are very important to them and they care deeply about the people who they love, and they care just as deeply about how people react to them. Their sensitivity level is high. If they're hurt, it's going to show. If you don't want their mood to swing, don't hurt their feelings.
Libras are some of the most charming people, are natural born leaders, and their desire for justice and peace makes them great mediators who seemed to be able to resolve any negative issue. They're not perfect though, and they can have terrible mood swings, be the worst flirts, and thou cut you off so fast it will make your head spin. Understanding a Libra is the way to deal with their good and bad traits. If you love them, they will love you all the days of your life. Good for you. Just make sure you can handle them at their worst so that you get to deal with them at their best.
