The Libra character
Libra weighs. Relationship is the arena where Libra learns where its own weight sits.
As a cardinal air sign ruled by Venus, Libra handles change in a particular way: it initiates, preferring to set the direction rather than adapt to someone else's.

- Charming
- Indecisive
- Aesthetic
Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths: fair, diplomatic, charming, aesthetic. Weak spots: indecisive, conflict avoidant, people pleasing, detached.
Libra in love
Libra is happiest paired and works hard at the shared atmosphere. The risk is agreeing away its own preference.
Career and work
Law, design, diplomacy, HR, art direction, mediation, any work built on taste and balance.

Advice for Libra
State your preference first, then negotiate. Fairness starts with your own vote counting.
