Profile :
Librans are very active and by nature extroverts. Venus being the ruling planet there is a desire for balance in all things and a love of beauty too. As with their symbol, the scales, impartiality is also a hallmark, alongside a tendency to share. Despite an inherent active nature, Librans retain a still calmness internally. Though everything appears to be positive, every once in a while Librans tend to become over-dependent. There is too much of a craving for partnership. An overwhelming tendency to give all always and keep nothing for one’own self can sometimes be overdone. The result is a lack of control. Sometimes decision making becomes problematic thanks to this constant wavering about the right course of action to follow. They just do not want to upset anybody. However, if the energy is re-focussed internally, balance can be restores. If a Libran can somehow manage to permit himself to also give to himself – true happiness is theirs and they also prosper.

A love of harmony all around, maintaining a sense of balance and admiration of grace and elegance in people too are some of their most positive characteristics.

There could also be a tendency for too much of attraction towards material luxuries. Sometimes Librans tend to be egoistic and even jealous and possessive.
