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.

Their extreme desire to maintain harmony leads some Librans to lie with impunity, which leads to insincerity. A sense of escapism makes them live in an utopian world rather than face any harsh truth. If a serious controversy develops, some Librans would rather give in – despite knowing that they are right. Standing up for something they believe in is too much if any unpleasantness is involved.
