Libra Compatibility - your Love Match Guide

Order your Compatibility Horoscope report.

Libra compatibility with other signs? Perhaps you are in a love relationship and you want to know what your prospects are for lifelong harmony. Comparison of your sun signs may give a significant clue, but is far from being the only consideration. Your sun sign is an indication of your ultimate goal or purpose in life, so if you consider it important that your lover shares that with you, or can at least support you, then compatibility between your sun signs will help. But what about your temperament? Ascendant and moon signs are much more important in assessing whether there is a good match between your temperaments than sun signs are. For you, lasting love and attraction may depend more on compatible temperament than it does on shared purpose. Your birth chart will indicate whether shared goals or compatible temperaments are more important to you.

These notes about the twelve possible combinations are an indication of the kinds of experiences which may arise for you if Libra is prominent in your horoscope. But do bear in mind that you and your lover will have planets in other signs, and these may indicate compatibility where possible causes of conflict are described here, or they may suggest tension where harmony is shown here. If you want a thorough astrological analysis of a relationship I offer a

Compatibility Horoscope report.

You can go direct to the order form here.

This report is compiled using your date, time (if known) and place of birth. It is much more comprehensive and accurate than a report that asks only for dates of birth as in that case the Ascendants and often the moon signs are unknown, making an analysis of temperaments impossible.

Alternatively I offer personal consultations - see Astrology Readings.

Libra Aries

Your desire to please as many people as possible and to avoid antagonising them may be challenged by your Aries partner who just wants to proceed as fast as possible towards success in your project. You cannot please everybody all the time but you are right to draw attention to the fact that in order to succeed some people have to like what you do. Your talent lies in devising a strategy for achieving success in what you want to do, while your partner keeps you focussed on the desired outcome.

If this is your Moon or Ascendant combination you may find that while you are assessing the arguments for and against a course of action, you wake up one morning to find your Aries lover has already done it! If you were having difficulty deciding you may like being relieved of the responsibility for making the final decision, but you do like to be consulted and prefer to reach a joint agreement. Remind your lover gently that your views may be worthwhile. Your relationship may be a roller coaster ride emotionally. Learn to accept responsibility for your own emotional discomfort while sharing it, rather than blame it on your lover, otherwise your relationship will not grow the roots needed for survival. A surprise birthday gift may help to keep romance alive.

Libra Taurus

These two signs have rulership by Venus in common so if you have this Sun sign combination you will both want to work in harmony to produce something of value. It is likely you will have more ideas and be the initiator of any project, while your partner has more sustaining power and determination to see it through to a conclusion. Tension could arise between you if you go off on some new project while your partner wants to complete what you are doing first. Negotiation of an appropriate allocation of time and responsibilities could resolve this.

If this is your Moon or Ascendant combination you will both strive for peace and harmony between yourselves but temperamentally you may be somewhat different. As a fixed earth sign Taurus wants stability and loyalty and may be easily alarmed at overt displays of independence by you. Be sensitive to your lover's feelings but do not allow yourself to be tied down lest your frustration build up and you leave a relationship that could be good. A shared love of beauty in any form may help keep you together.

Libra Gemini

If you have this Sun sign combination you are likely to work well together. Your partner will be concerned with researching the information needed for your work and formulating ideas for projects, while you will smooth out the rough edges of the plans and communicate with others to ensure that they will be acceptable.

If this is your Moon or Ascendant combination your relationship is likely to feature plenty of wit, chat, exchange of ideas, and if all that seems like fun to you, then you will have a good time. You make a charming companion, one who tries to please your Gemini lover. Neither of you may be very good at supporting the other through difficult experiences unless other chart factors assist. Don't run away at signs of emotional complexity - facing it can deepen your love and your approach to the whole of life.

Libra Cancer

If you have this Sun sign combination you are both concerned to please those with and for whom you work, but your orientations are rather different. Your concerns are with intellectual and aesthetic harmony with others, and you may be better at finding out what people really want so that a practical solution can be found. Your partner's concern is to feel at home with the project and all who work on it. Even customers may feel like family. You both see yourselves as initiative takers and this could lead to some competition between you which you should be able to resolve amicably.

If this is your Moon or Ascendant combination you may feel frustrated in this love match by what you perceive as your Cancer lover's emotional needs. Cancer seeks emotional security and if your lover perceives that your relationship offers that, then he or she could readily try to cling to you if it seems that you are distancing yourself. Libra needs to be in relationship but also needs freedom of movement and to keep a distance from any sense of being clung to, so if you value the relationship then tell your lover sensitively about your need for freedom and seek ways of offering a sense of security that does not require giving up that need. You will enjoy being looked after when you need and want it provided the experience is not spoiled by a sense of being trapped in a crab's claws.

Libra Leo

This Sun sign combination is normally helpful for working towards a common purpose. The air of Libra enables the fire of Leo to burn. Air is also the interpreter of fire. Your partner may provide the inspiration which enables you to devise a strategy and contribute ideas, which your partner will then manage so as to encourage practical realisation of those ideas.

If you have Libra and your lover Leo Moon or Ascendant there will be plenty of excitement. Your lover will thrive on appreciation from you, preferably expressed in the form of gifts of flowers or a romantic dinner. In turn you will enjoy anything beautiful and in good taste. Both of you will want the freedom to explore your own interests. You may not share your Leo lover's instinctive loyalty. Unless other chart factors assist you will want to keep clear of emotional complications, but you have to learn to face these, otherwise your relationship will not grow the roots needed for survival. If you share a home shopping may seem like a tedious chore unless you can find a way of making an adventure out of it. Impulse buying can soon lead to poverty!

Libra Virgo

If you have this Sun sign combination you may be best working in a discipline where perfection is important. Otherwise you may have to learn that a good enough outcome may benefit more people than a perfect one! The sign combination suggests a mix of precision and beauty. It is likely you will have more ideas and be the initiator of any project, while your Virgo partner has more sustaining power and determination to see it through to a conclusion. Tension could arise between you if you go off on some new project while your partner wants to complete an earlier one first. Negotiation of an appropriate allocation of time and responsibilities could resolve this.

If this is your Moon or Ascendant combination you will both strive for peace and harmony between yourselves but temperamentally you may be somewhat different. As an earth sign Virgo wants stability and security and may be easily alarmed at overt displays of independence by you. Be sensitive to your lover's feelings but do not allow yourself to be tied down lest your frustration build up and you leave a relationship that could be good. Libra also seeks balance, everything in the right proportion, so freedom may be balanced with commitment. Virgo can be a little shy or reticent and may like it if you take the initiative in a relationship.

Libra Libra

If you both have the Sun in this sign you may both be so concerned about each other's welfare, or that the work you do will please as many people as possible, that you overlook the fact that success usually depends on serving some degree of self-interest. You can both be initiative-takers, but your initiatives may not be of the kind that drives a project forward. However, your contacts will probably like you and positive feedback from them may assist in commending you to others.

If you both have the Moon or Ascendant in this sign you make mutually charming companions who will try to please each other. Your relationship is likely to feature plenty of chat and exchange of ideas, and if all that seems like fun to you, then you will have a good time. Neither of you may be very good at supporting the other through difficult experiences unless other chart factors assist. Don't run away at signs of emotional complexity - facing it can deepen your love and your approach to the whole of life.

Libra Scorpio

If this is your Sun sign combination you may be the one who comes up with the ideas and initiatives, but you find yourself constantly challenged to explain the research behind them. Scorpio is not easily satisfied, and demands more than superficial exploration. You will work better together if you accept the challenge, but that does not necessarily mean you have to change your plans. Sometimes things are simpler than Scorpio believes they can be.

If this is your Moon or Ascendant combination your charm may not cut much ice with your Scorpio lover who may long for you to be emotionally as well as sexually committed. Scorpio's sultry demeanour can be very enticing at the same time as it is challenges your comfort level. Taking the trouble to explore your discomfort without blaming your lover for it can be very attractive to him or her and can help deepen your relationship.

Libra Sagittarius

This Sun sign combination is normally helpful for working towards a common purpose. The air of Libra enables the fire of Sagittarius to burn. Air is also the interpreter of fire. Your partner may provide the inspiration which enables you to devise a strategy and contribute ideas. You would probably benefit from having a skilled manager to assist in the realisation of your ideas. For both of you satisfaction comes from playing with ideas, not with their practical application.

If this is a Moon or Ascendant combination there is likely to be plenty of witty and light-hearted conversation between you. Your Sagittarius lover may excite you and introduce you to experiences beyond your normal routine (such as foreign adventures) some of which may not suit your refined taste. Both of you will want the freedom to explore your own interests. Unless other chart factors assist you will want to keep clear of emotional complications, but you have to learn to face these, otherwise your relationship will not grow the roots needed for survival. If you share a home shopping may seem like a tedious chore unless you can find a way of making an adventure out of it. Impulse buying can soon lead to poverty! A surprise birthday gift may help to keep romance alive.

Libra Capricorn

If you have this Sun sign combination the quality you have in common may be a steady determination to see a project through to a satisfactory conclusion. On the way to that conclusion you may have to smooth some ruffled feathers from time to time! Both of you are initiators. You are more the contributor of ideas, your partner is more oriented towards the practical implementation of ideas. Your partner may be more ambitious and have an eye more on whether or not your ideas have any relevance to the success of your business. If your partner says of some new idea of yours that it won't work in practice and won't lead to a selling prospect, listen and ask for a clear explanation. You may have good cause to challenge the explanation, or you may have to give up your idea and think again. You may also have to persuade your partner that maintaining good relations with your contacts will contribute towards success.

If this is your Moon or Ascendant combination a strong sense of responsibility may be the most powerful stabilising force between you, encouraging you to persist in your relationship where others might decide to split up. Temperamentally there may be a clash between your need for freedom of movement and your Capricorn lover's need for security. A Capricorn Moon in particular may cling, and your need for freedom may conflict with your desire to maintain harmony. Maybe in your earlier years you had to fight for your independence and your lover suffered from lack of emotional support when it was needed. Sharing your experiences may help to overcome difficulties.

Libra Aquarius

If you have this Sun sign combination you are likely to work well together. Both of you may be full of ideas, you being the one more likely to initiate a plan for realising them, while your Aquarius partner may be able to surprise you with exciting innovations to those plans that could also make them more useful to society at large. You may have to do some research to find out whether or not those innovations are really practical.

If this is your Moon or Ascendant combination your relationship is likely to feature plenty of chat and exchange of ideas, and if all that seems like fun to you, then you will have a good time. Both of you need freedom of movement and hate to be tied down, but your Aquarius partner has a greater instinct towards loyalty than you have, and both of you have a sense of responsibility, which could provide a useful element of stability between you. Neither of you may be very good at supporting the other through difficult experiences unless other chart factors assist. Don't run away at signs of emotional complexity - facing it can deepen your love and your approach to the whole of life.

Libra Pisces

If you have this Sun sign combination you are both concerned to please those with and for whom you work, but your orientations are rather different. Your concerns are with intellectual and aesthetic harmony with others, and you may be better at finding out what people really want so that a practical solution can be found. Pisces has a fertile imagination that may seem to you to produce ideas that feed poets and mystics rather than the population at large that you rely on to make your business a success. However, most people are looking for something that will put them in touch with another dimension of life (whether they realise it or not), and you could bear that in mind. You may need help from someone else to manage ideas and put them to practical use.

If you have Libra and your lover Pisces Moon or Ascendant you are likely to feel challenged in this match by what you perceive as his or her emotional sensitivity. Anything that seems straightforward to you may have many subtle implications for your lover, for whom nothing is as simple as it seems. When you have an idea about something you could do together, Pisces is looking for your emotional commitment to it. If uncomfortable feelings arise within you, taking the trouble to explore your discomfort without blaming your lover for it can be very attractive to him or her and can help deepen your relationship. Neither sign is instinctive loyal, but you may have a stronger sense of responsibility which could provide a useful element of stability between you. Romantic gestures can help keep your lover's eye from wandering.
