Libra is the zodiac sign that rules peace, love, and harmony. As the sign that falls in the middle of the zodiac, the Libra personality is all about balance. Charm and pleasant demeanor are among the Libra traits that can make this sign so soothing to be around. Libra rules relationships, and both Libra men and Libra women are natural partners who love to support their favorite people. Libra is associated with the seventh house of the zodiac—it rules relationships, harmony and balance.

Romantic and social, many Libras love to flirt. They may have a lot of admirers, and may break a few hearts along the way. But they can’t help it! The Libra zodiac sign is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and romance. Not only are Libras in love with love, they enjoy sharing the finer things in life (art, fashion, a delicious meal) with an attractive partner.

Many of the world’s most famous beauties are Libras, such as Kim Kardashian and Bridget Bardot. Common Libra features include dimples, symmetrical features and gentle eyes. Both Libra males and Libra females can be described as “pretty.”

Friendship is also a top Libra priority, and this sign may have a huge social circle. When you set one of these social butterflies free at a party or networking event, Libra will quickly own the room. As one of the zodiac’s three Air signs, Libras are natural communicators who love to share ideas, trends and opinions.

Some Libras can be reserved and formal at first. But once you get them talking, a five minute conversation can morph into a three-hour philosophical conversation! They can be keen listeners, which is one of Libra’s best traits. This sign is genuinely interested in your ideas and opinions. In our fast-paced world where everyone’s in a rush, Libra’s gentle pace can be a breath of fresh air.

Because the Libra personality seeks compromise, this sign hates conflict and anything that feels unfair. If you meet an angry Libra, they’re probably riled up about an injustice. Their systems simply can’t tolerate it! Many Libras are natural diplomats who will do everything to help everyone get along. They can accurately see both sides to a situation, and resolve fights in a way that feels fair for all involved. As the sign of the Judge, many Libras can be counted on for a wise, thoughtful opinion.

Unfortunately, not all Libras are equally sweet and sensitive. On the bad side, some Libras can tip the scales into dictator behavior and power trips (Libras Simon Cowell, Margaret Thatcher and Vladimir Putin are examples of Libras with a “my way or the highway” attitude). Libra is one of the four cardinal signs, which gives Libras qualities of leadership and confidence, but also a sense of entitlement.

Other negative Libra traits include being manipulative, materialistic and out of balance. Some Libras are a bit too driven by their appetites for pleasure, and may shop, dine, spend and live in five-star style regardless of their budget. Can Libras be vain? Definitely. Some Libras may use their natural charm and good looks to seduce others into taking care of them. Yes it’s nice to be spoiled, but some Libras may take this desire too far. And they do themselves a disservice, as they can become lazy and codependent when they let others do all the work!

Making decisions can be hard for Libra, because this balance-seeking sign can see both sides of every situation. Wise Libras like to take their time and gather all the information before making up their minds. You can’t rush the Libra personality, nor should you! But they may drive you crazy as they swing between “Should I?” or “Shouldn’t I?” for months, only to wake up one day and make what looks like a totally impulsive decision! In reality, they’ve been thinking about this for ages and have finally reached the moment when their instincts tell them, “Go for it!”

One lesser-known Libra trait: This sign has a major sweet tooth. Libras get easily addicted to sugar, which is probably why many of them follow strict, healthy diets as they get older. The sensitive Libra wants to look and feel good, and learns that junk food upsets their balance.

Virgo is the sign of service, and you’re always there when help is needed. The typical Virgo person is a generous listener who gives great advice. You love to analyze everything! In fact, you can drive yourself crazy with this Virgo trait, because you never stop thinking. The Virgo star sign is a perfectionist who sees every flaw. At times (admit it) you’re a little too critical.

The Virgo personality is always analyzing everything, forming opinions and judgments. On the outside, you seem sweet and innocent, but your quick mind never misses a detail. Relax your anxious brain by channeling it into a project, like solving a crossword puzzle, writing a story or organizing your home.

As an earth sign, you love the outdoors, so chill out in nature, or try a sport like karate. Remember, it’s easy for helpful Virgo to give, but harder for you to receive. Let your friends pitch in and support you, too! Try opening up a little more. You don’t have to be perfect to be lovable. Just be yourself

From work ethic to wardrobe, impeccable Virgos are the epitome of #flawless. They can pull off the “I Woke Up Like This” look—even if they’d rather spend a couple of hours primping and putting themselves together in the mirror.

Because you can get stressed from micromanaging their lives (and other people’s!), downtime is crucial for the Virgo star sign. Virgos cherish their solitude and can spend indulgent hours reading, writing, planning, decluttering or dreaming up creative projects. But they’ll always spring into action for a friend in need.

Observant Virgos can quickly spot the flaws in everything. As a result, they can come across as critical or judgmental. They’re only trying to help! But when they lapse into preachy mode, they may need a reminder that they don’t have to “fix” the world. As hard as Virgos may be on loved ones, they’re even harder on themselves. This giving sign needs to learn the art of receiving—a lifelong struggle for many.

Ruled by the nurturing, orderly and rule-abiding Virgin, Virgo energy focuses on control, purification and organization. Imagine a bookshelf that needs sorting, and you’ll find Virgo categorizing by color, book title, and author, usually just for fun. Virgo helps us to maintain a sense of efficiency and conduct in our physical realities, and can be very supportive as it’s not focused on shining in the limelight.

Perfectionism is a Virgo trait and it can be an issue for this star sign. Under a Virgo planetary transit, we may find ourselves caught in waves of “analysis paralysis,” wanting to make a million decisions down to the last detail but unable to make a move. The essence of Virgo energy is dedicated, resourceful, helpful, hardworking, health-conscious, analytical, clever, witty, and practical.

In its negative state, Virgo energy can be preachy, self-destructive, anxious, overwhelmed, self-pitying, uptight, and critical. Virgo pickiness and sky-high standards have their uses, but can wreak havoc on relationships with ourselves and others. Since Virgo rules the sixth house of health and fitness, wellness and all things “green” (from kale smoothies to cleaning up the planet) fall under its domain.
