This guide from Hermes Astrology details the personality traits and relationship compatibility of the zodiac sign Libra. Ruled by Venus, Libra is characterized as a diplomatic, charming, and aesthetically driven air sign that seeks harmony, balance, and partnership in all aspects of life. Key strengths include fairness, sociability, and cooperation, while weaknesses encompass indecisiveness, conflict aversion, and a tendency toward superficiality. Regarding compatibility, Libra is most harmonious with fellow air signs (Gemini, Aquarius) and fire signs (Leo, Sagittarius), which provide intellectual stimulation, romance, and adventure. Relationships with signs like Aries (their opposite) or another Libra can be challenging yet rewarding if balanced properly. Libra tends to struggle with water signs (Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio) due to emotional intensity, and earth signs (Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus) because of differing values around practicality, criticism, and rigidity. The ideal partner for a Libra is both a best friend and a romantic equal who values cooperation, intellectual engagement, and the co-creation of a beautiful and balanced life.
