Scales on a Scale

Whoever said that opposites attract, were talking about Libra-Libra relationships. Hell, they might have even been in one. In the world of astrology, Libras are considered to be most compatible with Aquarius, Scorpio, Aries and Taurus (for some odd reason) and of course, the one and only, Geminis, while on the other hand being least compatible with Cancers, Capricorns and Pisces. Well, outside of those odds, every once in a while, they find each other.

The Lucky Libra is known for being fans of beauty, ruled by the Goddess of Love, Venus, and being Masters of Balance. In the personality aspect of Libras, what sets them apart from all other signs is that their pros and cons directly align. Oddly enough, the Libra has a weird way of being adventurous yet chilled, organized yet chaotic, talkative yet quiet, patient yet unwilling, rebels yet gentle, giving yet withholding and the list goes on. Libras bring this same pro-con combination of ways into their relationships. Due to their need for balance and harmony they give their partner just enough by being caring yet nonchalant, passionate yet unemotional, expressive yet reserved, thoughtful yet aloof and of course hot yet cold. Some call it indecisiveness or bipolar, while the Libra would probably say it’s the perfect way to be.

Now although most astrologists would only give Libras a 50/50 chance of being together, as a Libra with a Libra I would like to add a different perspective. In relationships with other zodiac signs, where the Libra has to explain their quirky ways, Libra-Libra partners easily balance each other out and naturally complement each other. Mentally in the relationship, they will either be 100% on the same page, on complete opposite ends of the spectrum or meet right in the middle. With that being said, the 50 shades of grey only apply to them physically. At the end of the day, being ruled by Venus, they are automatically grounded back to their foundation of each other’s astronomical understanding of their partner’s emotional wants and needs. The good will ultimately outweigh the bad. After all, doesn’t love conquer all?

So to all the astrologists and their studies, I say that strong personalities like Aquarius, Gemini, Scorpio, Aries and Taurus can too much, at times. Unusual personalities like Cancer, Capricorn and Pisces just may not be enough. But just like Goldilocks, Libra for a Libra has a 50/50 chance of being just right.
