Libra Character

You are born to love, with a great understanding of compromise and forgiveness that brings you happiness in relationships and marriage. Others sense your natural warmth and tolerance and are receptive to your efforts to please them.

In many ways you bring peace into the lives of those who know you, for you understand how to smoothe things over and yield for the greater good. Yet, because you are very personal you sometimes take things to heart and find your delicate sensitivities hurt or offended by the crudeness of others.

Balance

You seek balance in a world of extremes, and will often go out of your way to find the opposite to any abnormal view of life that you feel needs to be centered. Since you are ruled by Venus, it is not your way to fight with people, but rather to win their love and acceptance by good deeds and warm gestures.

Your greatest difficulties in life are with selfish people who refuse to open up to your goodness. You know they are immature and spiritually lacking, yet their deficiency in love never fails to hurt your sense of compassion for you envision them acting in more evolved ways.

Companionship

Partnerships of all kinds are so important to you, for even though you are fully capable, you rarely like to do things alone or only for yourself. You believe that life is based on companionship, and who you partner with in all your endeavors is often more important to you than the reason for each partnership.

This need for good comrades comes from a great deal of tension from imbalances you sensed in your parents and your inability to teach them the value of love that you have tried so many times to do. It is almost as if you were born with a need to experience balance, yet thrust into a childhood environment where this was lacking.

Compatibility

Your goodness shows in your charmingly kind and generous nature and while this makes it easy for you to get along with most people you are especially compatible with Gemini (who shows you both sides of every issue making it easier for you to be more sociable) and Aquarius (who helps you to expand your love into friendships, groups, associations, and a more open cosmic view of life).

Karma

Your karma is to find balance and calmness where there is discord,- to seek the middle road where there is uncentered extremes and to bring peace and harmony into the lives of those you touch through your special aptitidues for expressing decency, politeness and understanding where it is needed most. The more you can do this, the more you will find your heart filled with the beauty of love and respect you so much desire.
