Libra
Women:
Libra
is an air sign, and is therefore concerned with the world of ideas
and relating to people. Above all else, Libra looks for balance
and harmony. Harmony in relationships is a key to the Libran temperament.
In discordant situations a Libran can be miserable. The Libra
woman has a highly refined intellectual and aesthetic sensitivity.
She hates displays of intense emotionality and prefers a calm,
detached, intellectual discussion of people's differences. Not
that she doesn't enjoy controversy; she thrives on it. But the
controversy must be carried on in a proper, self-controlled manner,
for then she is in her element. She loves finding the balance
between extremes and being the arbiter and diplomat.
The
Libra woman often has a gentle and sweet demeanor that is appealing
to many people. She loves to please people, sometimes to the point
of compromising the truth. She tends to want to keep the peace
at all costs. Beneath her pleasing exterior, however, the Libra
woman is not as passive as she might appear. Libra is a high-energy,
dynamic sign, and these women can be very opportunisitic in subtle
ways. Usually Libran women get their way by indirect means. If
they can reason with someone, well and good. If not, they will
pursue their goals by other means.
Love
and relationships are extremely important to a Libran. She works
best in partnership. She sees her partner as her complementary
opposite--as the mirror in which she can understand herself better
by seeing herself reflected in the eyes of her lover. The Libra
woman is always ready to bend in a relationship, but don't make
the mistake of thinking you can trample on her. To her, that is
not fair, and in her legalistic eyes fairness is the highest ideal.
Controversies with her may revolve around her conception of what
is fair and just and what is not. Because the Libra woman hates
open confrontations she may tend to use "passive aggression,"
subtly provoking you to anger by not doing something rather than
by actively doing. If the Libra woman corrects this tendency and
takes responsibility for her own anger, she can develop a healthy
relationship with her partner. She is highly motivated to do this,
as a harmonious relationship is so essential to her well-being.
Libra
Loving Scorpio
The Libra and Scorpio combination can be a high-powered low-tolerance
connection. Libra, an air sign, likes to approach the relationship
with mental objectivity, and Scorpio, a water sign, embraces all
relationship experiences in an emotionally subjective force. Closeness
and sharing are a priority, but their approaches are different.
The Libra woman needs to feel she is a part of the relationship
in a cooperative arrangement with her partner, and the Scorpio
woman wants to submerge her identity with her partner and at the
same time expand her personal power through the totality of their
union. To the Libra, this kind of total union could be threatening,
expecially as it is so filled with behavioural expectations. The
Scorpio woman may be frustrated with the Libra woman's need to
maintain her emotional identity, and she becomes impatient with
the Libra's need to discuss their relationship status in verbal
terms.
They
can create a strong union if they can acknowledge their different
ways of relating. Both women need and desire closeness in their
relationships, as this creates a fulfillment that is something
both need. The Libra woman must realize that her intellect sometimes
isolates her Scorpio partner. She needs to open up herself to
a deeper emotional level if she is to come to terms with her vulnerablitity.
The Scorpio woman will learn to approach their relationship from
a more objective perspective in order to relate to her mental
needs more rationally. If these two women can compromise on this,
their personal strength will become the stability of their relationship.
Their loving exchanges can meet needs in the realm of deep self-knowledge.
They
can share in warm and deep ways with strong verbal and emotional
interchanges. Intimacy is an important and useful way of touching
each other's hearts. Sexually the frequent and consistently good
experience transforms both of them. There is, indeed, a transformational
quality to their whole relationship.
Libra
Loving Cancer
The Cancer/Libra combination can be a harmonious one, but there
may be difficulties because both women are so sensitive in different
ways. Watery Cancer is dominated by her emotions, while airy Libra
needs to take a completely objective standpoint to be comfortable.
Both women are acutely aware of other people and their needs.
Both are also warm and gentle in their manner, and should be able
on that account to feel very comfortable with each other. Cancer
wants to soothe and care for others with emotional empathy; Libra
wants to create harmony by clear and open discussion of differences
and by making reasonable compromises.
A
great deal of time these two women get along beautifully, especially
given the fact that each is so concerned about the other's comfort.
The problem that can arise is that they are both almost too concerned.
Both these women are very finely strung, but the string is very
taut. Each is aware of the slightest imbalance and discord affects
them almost physically. The Cancer woman has a hard time understanding
the Libran's need to reach verbal agreement, as if that solved
the problem; the Libran hates intense emotional displays and will
do anything to avoid them. The Cancer sense the Libra is uncomfortable
with her strong emotions, and therefore tries to inhibit them.
In short, the two can be walking on eggs around each other. Both
are kind, gentle women, and hate discord, and yet they can slowly
drive each other crazy.
That
is one side of the picture. Obviously, there is still a lot of
ground for agreement between these two women, and this can help
them overcome their problems. Since they both need love and affection
so much they will be highly motivated to find harmony with each
other. The Cancer woman can learn to appreciate the objective
mental perspective her Libra partner can offer her often confused
emotional feelings, and the Libra can learn to broaden her understanding
of life to a deeper emotional level through her Cancer partner.
Each woman has much to offer the other. Sexually, these two women
can be very compatible as each is very concerned with pleasing
her partner, and both are warmly responsive in love.
Libra Loving Libra
The Libra/Libra combination can be a harmonious and balanced one.
Problems usually arise because there is a strong mirror effect
between them. These two women are air signs concerned with partnerships
and equality, and should be able to discuss their differences
in an equal and objectively comprehensive way. As the sign of
the balance, these women are adept at seeing both sides of an
issue. Appreciation is very strong in this combination, perspectives
will be acknowledged even when there is disagreement, and cooperation
and compromise are very strong in this combination, perspectives
will be acknowledged even when there is disagreement, and cooperation
and compromise are very important to them as Libras. They will
go out of their way to resolve challenges and problems, and agreements
can be reached between them through verbal exchange.
When
problems do arise in this relationship, they tend to be concerned
with the difficulties each has in taking the initiative and making
final commitments. Each woman wants to be sure her partner is
happy and comfortable with whatever she does, and both may go
to extremes in holding back her own ideas for fear of conflict.
Both women hate discord and want happiness and tranquility at
any cost. For this reason resentment can be suppressed, creating
tension between them. To their women friends they may appear to
argue a lot, but actually they enjoy discussion. If one woman
takes a position the other may feel she has to take the opposite
position to balance. These women love to talk instead of taking
action.
They
easily resolve major differences and as a matter of protocal they
forgive quickly and apologize just as quickly. An environment
of intelligence and objective discussion will prevail. These two
women love to discuss the status of their relationship over and
over again. They enjoy activities together and love sharing all
experiences. They feel that they work better together, and would
rather do so. There is a natural union between them in a crowd
or in different rooms of the house, where they seldom take space
from each other. Sexually they are very close, and romance and
musical foreplay precede any intimacy.
Libra
Loving Aquarius
The combination of Libra and Aquarius is karmic. Both Libra and
Aquarius are air signs, concerned with finding and proving the
truth through expanding their mental outlook on life and utilizing
open verbal discussions. The Libra woman continually seeks balance
and clarity through verbal accord; the Aquarius woman needs to
find an objective and detached understanding of her role in the
relationship. She is interested in the whole issue of living,
spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. She seeks
understanding with her partner and needs to know how they fit
together. The mental rapport is very strong between these two,
and they will both tend to discuss their differences and character
defects dispassionately and in the open. When differences arise
between them, they are usually minor. They are both able to take
an objective and detached perspective. However, there are subtle
differences in the way they approach these differences. The Libra
needs to find truth through seeing both sides of an issue, and
becomes very elastic mentally in this partnership. The Aquarian
tends to take one invariant position, which she trusts and feels
is right. Once she takes this position she can hold to it firmly
and even dogmatically. The Libra woman may see her Aquarian partner
as being rigid and closed to other points of view, and the Aquarian
woman may feel her Libra partner changes too readily with the
circumstances, and is too concerned with people-pleasing.
Libra
women desire continual interaction, and partnership is very important
to them. The Aquarian woman is much more independent and needs
a lot of space, and may need to be away from her partner a lot.
The Libra woman may interpret this as rejection. In spite of these
challenges, these two are very similar in their need to establish
agreement through open and honest discussion. They will reach
harmony and balance when honesty is achieved, and this issue is
the most important issue in both their lives. Sexually, this combination
enjoys each other's uniqueness and they talk a lot during sex.
Cancer
Loving Libra
The Cancer/Libra combination can be a harmonious one, but there
may be difficulties because both women are so sensitive in different
ways. Watery Cancer is dominated by her emotions, while airy Libra
needs to take a completely objective standpoint to be comfortable.
Both women are acutely aware of other people and their needs.
Both are also warm and gentle in their manner, and should be able
on that account to feel very comfortable with each other. Cancer
wants to soothe and care for others with emotional empathy; Libra
wants to create harmony by clear and open discussion of differences
and by making reasonable compromises.
A
great deal of time these two women get along beautifully, especially
given the fact that each is so concerned about the other's comfort.
The problem that can arise is that they are both almost too concerned.
Both these women are very finely strung, but the string is very
taut. Each is aware of the slightest imbalance and discord affects
them almost physically. The Cancer woman has a hard time understanding
the Libran's need to reach verbal agreement, as if that solved
the problem; the Libran hates intense emotional displays and will
do anything to avoid them. The Cancer sense the Libra is uncomfortable
with her strong emotions, and therefore tries to inhibit them.
In short, the two can be walking on eggs around each other. Both
are kind, gentle women, and hate discord, and yet they can slowly
drive each other crazy.
That
is one side of the picture. Obviously, there is still a lot of
ground for agreement between these two women, and this can help
them overcome their problems. Since they both need love and affection
so much they will be highly motivated to find harmony with each
other. The Cancer woman can learn to appreciate the objective
mental perspective her Libra partner can offer her often confused
emotional feelings, and the Libra can learn to broaden her understanding
of life to a deeper emotional level through her Cancer partner.
Each woman has much to offer the other. Sexually, these two women
can be very compatible as each is very concerned with pleasing
her partner, and both are warmly responsive in love.
Libra Loving Virgo
The Libra/Virgo combination is an interesting match, even though
the two women are very different. Virgo is an earth sign concerned
with the open exchange of ideas and balance. The Virgo woman approaches
life from the point of view of detail and perfection; the Libra
woman is more interested in the balance of parts within a whole
and she becomes impatient with the Virgo's concern with detail.
The
main reason why these two women disagree is around their approaches
to other people's needs. The Virgo woman is concerned about being
of service in a structured environment and a loyal way. The Libra
woman is concerned about the harmony and ease among women, and
wants to please others, and not necessarily to do what is "right"
or expected. To the Virgo woman the Libra may appear to compromise
too much in order to please, and Virgo may feel she can't always
completely trust the Libran's motives. To the Libra woman, her
Virgo partner may seem overly obsessed with doing the right thing,
without concern for creating a harmonious flow.
There
are differences, but the similarities are especially plentiful.
Both women are extremely concerned about the comfort of others
and are willing to go to any length to take another's needs into
consideration. These women will be very concerned about the well-being
of others. The Virgo woman can learn to be more tolerant and open
to others through her Libra partner, and the Libra woman can learn
more attention to specifics and to be more honest and direct.
Sexually,
these two may need to trust each other's needs more before they
can feel open to sharing their own personalities. The Virgo woman
must learn not to mistake Libra's approach and to stay warm and
openly loving.
Libra Loving Capricorn
The Capricorn/Libra connection brings a union of the senses. Libra
is an air sign whose concern is with taking a detached and balanced
view in a relationship; Capricorn is an earth sign, concerned
with the stability and solid achievements experienced in relationships,
and trust and closeness are her markers. The Libra woman tends
to be impatient with her Capricorn lover, because of the issue
of proof: the Libra needs the freedom to explore new ways of being
without regard for declarations of constant "I love you,"
and the Capricorn woman has a strong will but is more concerned
with security and self-discipline than anything else. She may
find that sometimes the Libra woman is unable to give commitments.
Her idealism can get in the way of long-term/short-term relating.
In
spite of these callenges, these women have a deep understanding.
There is a sense of structure and fitness in each of them, and
they both can be very concerned with social and emotional appropriateness.
Carried too far, they can be conventional and overly committed
instead of focusing first on themselves. The Libra woman appreciates
the organizational ability and determination of the Capricorn
woman, and has a very real respect for the Capricorn's strength
of character and commitment, even though at times she may find
her partner to be concerned with mundane matters. The Capricorn
appreciates the clear and insightful mentality of her Libra partner.
The Libra woman is not inclined to be dishonest or to lie. She
may become impatient, however, with the Libra's tendency to resolve
differences into the wee hours of the morning and with words rather
than actions.
Both
these women can be telepathic, especially with each other. The
comfort that results from this kind of contact also carries into
their sexual lives. Togetherness is important.
Libra
Loving Leo
The Libra/Leo combination usually flows very smoothly. Leo is
a fire sign and libra is an air sign; air and fire support and
expand each other. The Leo woman will be able to communicate easily
with her Libra partner: Leo is open and generous and Libra is
cooperative and diplomatic. These two women will also stimulate
each other's artistic creativity. The Leo woman is very concerned
with creative expression and the Libra woman has a highly refined
esthetic sensitivity. These two women will enjoy going to gatherings
and will also make superb hostesses.
The
problems that arise between these two are usually minor ones and
tend to be concerned with the Leo's strong ego versus the Libra's
sensitivity to others. The Leo woman is very warm and friendly,
but she also tends to be a stubborn individual. When she is convinced
she is right about something she can be deaf to any other points
of view. The Libran woman is almost too concerned with other people's
needs and comfort; cooperation and harmony are the most important
things to her. The Libran may find that her Leo partner's self-centered
tendencies are hard to deal with, and the Leo may sometimes feel
that her Libran partner compromises too easily and is too concerned
with pleasing others. She wants the Libra to give full support
to the Leo's convictions.
Another
related problem is the Leo's tendency to be bluntly outspoken
in her opinions, as well as her tendency to lose her temper when
seriously crossed. This upsets her Libra partner because the Libran
needs peace and harmony around her at all times. To the Libra,
the Leo may seem selfish and insensitive when the Leo is simply
being honest and up front, and doesn't mean to offend others.
These
two women should get along relatively easily and with harmony
in spite of some differences in basic natures. Both women enjoy
warm, friendly relations with others, and each appreciates the
other's love of beauty. They will like to have the finer things
of life around them, and together will create a beautiful and
comfortable home that will be ideal for entertaining. They will
attract creative and artistic people into their lives. The Leo
woman can help her Libra partner to take a stronger, more outspoken
stand on issues, and the Libra woman will help her Leo partner
be more sensitive to and tactful about other people's needs.
Both
are warm and romantic people and these two women should have a
compatible sexual relationship and enjoy open communication.
Libra Loving Sagittarius
The Sagittarius/Libra connection is a harmonious one. Libra, an
air sign, is concerned with balance and an equal connection with
her lover; Sagittarius, a fire sign, seeks the expansion of herself
and her individuality with in the realm of the relationship by
pursuing the ways of relating with her partner using new thought
forms. Air and fire expand each other, and these two women will
enjoy their communication and expand their views of relating.
They both believe in justice and fairness strongly, and each will
appreciate the other's concern with the more womanly point of
view.
Although
there is a large common ground, their approach to relating is
different. The Libra woman is in love with an ideal of love and
tries to adjust to this belief; the Sagittarian woman can become
self-righteous, and directness is a part of her communication
array. To the Libra woman, tact and timing are very important,
and she may find her Sagittarian partner's tactlessness and blunt
honesty hard to deal with.
The
Sagittarian doesn't tolerate hypocrisy very well, and she may
see her Libra partner exhibiting diplomatic games and compromising
her truths for balance. When Sagittarius sees this, her tendency
is to blow and express her opinion vigorously. The sensitive Libra
will then retreat.
In
spite of these differences, these women share many playful times.
Both enjoy playing athletic and mental games. The Libra woman
finds her Sagittarian partner a stimulating companion sexually,
one who keeps her open to new possiblities for intimacy; the Sagittarian
woman will appreciate her Libra partner's ability to bring out
the honesty of reality on a physical level. She will learn new
skills in experiencing her love other than assuming and making
pre-judgements.
Their
enjoyment of allowing and giving each other freedom is naturally
understood.
Libra Loving Pisces
The Libra/Pisces combination works out very well. Both women are
naturally sensitive and warm. Libra, an air sign, takes a balanced
objective and intellectual approach to life, and Pisces, a water
sign, feels an emotional kinship in this relationship, as she
is ruled by her feeling. These two women can relate very well
together because each is very sensitive and concerned about the
other's feelings. The Libra will be concerned with resolving discord
through open communication, and the Pisces is sensitive to her
partner's emotions and will also want to keep the peace. Both
women are very romantic, warm, and highly artistic.
When
problems arise in this relationship, it is generally because of
the different ways they view life. The Libra woman needs objectivity
and a mental approach, but her Pisces partner picks up on her
wavelength through her emotions and may have trouble verbalizing
her feelings. The Libra woman will want to bring out problems
into the open and discuss them rationally, and will expect the
Pisces woman to put her feelings into words. She may feel frustrated
when the Pisces woman can't express her feelings in words, and
the Pisces woman may feel hurt when her Libran partner distances
herself in order to be objective. The Pisces woman can become
emotionally dependent on the Libran, but have difficulty expressing
her needs clearly. She may have difficulty expressing resentment,
and at the same time have trouble with conflict, especially if
it is filled with a lot of intense emotion.
These
two women, in spite of these challenges, should be able to create
a harmonious relationship. Both women are highly sexual and have
very refined tastes, and disharmony will cut off their sexual
feelings toward each other. Both women are very idealistic, and
they may find themselves wanting to retreat together a lot. Consideration
and tenderness are strong between them.
Libra
Loving Gemini
The Libra/Gemini combination is generally a harmonious one. Both
signs are air signs, so these women share a common concern with
mental objectivity and the free and open exchange of ideas. Both
women try to establish harmony by discussing things from a lofty
and intellectual point of view. Both women will enjoy the clear,
open communication that takes place between them. The Gemini brings
the ability to clearly categorize and analyze whatever is going
on. The Libra brings a delicate sensitivity to the balance between
two people, and a well-developed sense of how to compromise and
take the other person's point of view into consideration.
These
two women are always able to talk together effectively. Neither
enjoys strong displays of emotion and each feels most comfortable
when an atmosphere of friendly but also cool objectivity prevails.
The problems that arise between them should be fairly easy to
resolve. Both women are eager to discuss their differences freely
and find a common ground. When these two do disagree, their problem
usually stems from the subtle way these two signs differ. The
Gemini woman, with her sharp, incisive, analytical mind, tends
to enjoy taking things apart in a cool, detached way. To the sensitive
Libran with her warmth and sympathy for another person's position,
the approach of the Gemini may seem a little cold-blooded. She
may feel that the Gemini woman fails to take the rational into
consideration in her approach to people and situations. The Gemini
sometimes finds her Libra partner too wrapped up in concerns about
what other people think and feel, rather than with what is. She
may feel that the Libran sometimes allows her desire to please
to compromise her reaction to situations.
Obviously,
each woman has much to offer the other. The Gemini can give her
Libra partner a clear analysis of things, unhampered by other
people's needs and demands. The Libra can give her Gemini partner
a more emotionally whole sense of life and people. The Gemini
woman will be influenced to think less like a computer and more
like a sensitive human being. Sexually, these two should be very
compatible as they both value mind-to-mind rapport above all else
and will be able to discuss their deeper feelings freely.
Libra
Loving Taurus
The Taurus/Libra combination can be a very harmonius one, especially
when certain minor differences are overcome. Earthy Taurus loves
stability and comfort. Libra, an air sign, needs plenty of mental
stimulation, but also shares the Taurus' need for peace and tranquility.
Both women love beauty and harmony, and the home they share will
be both comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Both find discord
and emotionally charged arguments distasteful and try to avoid
situations that produce them. The Libra woman will add her finely-tuned
ability to clarify situations using her mind to the durable and
practical skills of her Taurus partner. The Taurus woman will
help her Libra partner bring her idealistic concepts down to earth
and make them useful in everyday life.
These
two women are very different from one another, but for the most
part their differences should add to the relationship, and not
detract from it. Although the Libra woman loves peace, she also
tends to get restless as she ceaselessly searches to find her
balance. She is always trying to establish harmony in her relationships
and is always a little dissatisfied as each situation falls short
of her ideal. What happens in all her relationships is vitally
important to her well-being, and discord with another person can
be devastating to her. The Taurus woman, on the contrary, tends
to be much more self-contained, but she is simply too strong in
her convictions of where she stands to be seriously knocked off
her center by another person's needs. From the Taurus woman's
point of view, the Libran is just too concerned with what other
people think. To the Libra woman, however, her Taurus partner
may at times seem a little too preoccupied with herself, and too
stubborn. This difference could be the source of misunderstanding
between them OR the source of creative learning for both of them.
Another
problem may arise when the restless Libra woman wants to go out
and socialize more than her Taurus partner. The Taurus woman may
sometimes feel a little insecure with the Libran's capacity to
relate with so many people -- both close friends and acquaintances
-- so warmly. The Taurus woman should realize that this has nothing
to do with romance, the Libran just enjoys people. Actually, the
Libra woman, more than all else, wants to do things with her partner,
she loves togetherness and usually hates to go out alone. If these
two can deal with these relatively minor problems, they should
do very well together. Sexually, they are very compatible, as
both women are sensitive, sensuous, and warmly responsive to affection.
Libra
Loving Aries
The Aries/Libra combination can either be completely ideal or
a disaster. These two signs are on opposite sides of the zodiac,
and can either complement each other or conflict with each other.
Aries is the sign of the self and acting self-reliantly. Libra
is the sign of awareness of the other person's point of view and
of partnerships. The Aries woman can supply what her Libra partner
lacks, and vice versa. When these women work harmoniously together
they are like mirrors. Aries emphasizes self-awareness, Libra
brings out the awareness, Libra brings out the awareness of another
person's needs. The Libra woman helps balance her Aries partner's
energy and initiative. She loves reflecting back this energy in
the form of appreciation. At the same time, the Aries woman sometimes
gets impatient with the Libran's need to keep everyone happy.
And sometimes it seems to the Libra woman that the Aries is being
inconsiderate just to be contrary.
Together
these two women will attract many people to them. These two should
spark each other's creativity, especially in the realm of the
arts. The Libran helps refine the undisciplined but creative power
of Aries energy. And when these two are not arguing (which may
be often) they can carry on a flow of stimulating conversation.
Sexually, these two should be very compatible, since the Libran
woman is a highly responsive partner to the ardent nature of the
Aries woman.
