Libra is the seventh sign of the Zodiac and is symbolized by the Scales and ruled by the planet of Venus. That's the reason why Libra is best known as the sign of justice, balance, fairness, peace, and beauty. Libras are kind, charming, peaceful, romantic, friendly, but they can also be superficial, vain, detached, and some of the most indecisive individuals out there. However, there's much more to the Libra personality than just these well-known traits and many people have no idea about these important characteristics of those born under the sign of Libra. This is a complex star sign, so to give you a better understanding of what it really means to be a Libra in the Zodiac, we've compiled a list of some common but less known Libra traits.
They are hopeless romantics that long to be in a relationship
Libra is a sign ruled by Venus, the goddess of love which means that Libras love flirting and romance. As the sign of partnership, Libras long to be in a long-term and committed relationship. People born under this sign can't stand to be alone and crave companionship, so they can spend their whole lives searching for their perfect partner. These romantic souls believe in “happily ever after” and have a strong desire to be in a relationship. They're some of the most committed and loyal partners out there who will do anything to keep their partners happy and satisfied.
They are big flirts
Even though they're committed and incredibly loyal when they are in a romantic relationship, Libras are natural flirts. Libra is an Air sign and the signs that belong to this element are usually very friendly, flirty, and fun, but with everyone. They're charming, seductive people who need attention and they know exactly how to get it. Libras may be naturally flirty but they're not cheaters, so they will either look for a casual encounter or a long-term relationship, but never both.
They can't say no
Libras are very kind, warm, caring, and gentle individuals who are willing to do whatever it takes just to make sure everyone in their life is pleased and happy. This means that Libras will probably say “yes” to everything and everyone. They're the type of people who are selfless, compassionate, and always put others first, so they have a hard time saying “no” and other people often take advantage of them and always ask them for favors.
They can be lazy and disorganized
Laziness is one of the negative Libra traits, although if you ask them, they will say that they're not being lazy and they're just taking time to relax in order to get back their energy. However, Libras can be very lazy and disorganized people who often lack ambition and determination to do something. As the sign of the Scales, Libras are constantly weighing up the pros and cons, trying to think of the best course of action and they often get lost in indecision. The truth is that most of the times, Libras are simply unwilling to do the job and would rather sleep and do things that are easy or pleasurable.
They are good listeners
Libras are extremely good listeners that give amazing advice and can make anyone feel better. They're known for their great communication skills and are very diplomatic, logical, and kind, so they're willing to drop everything and lend a listening ear to their friends or family when they need it. Even if they disagree with someone, thanks to their ability to see a situation from every side, they will always hear them out and give some great advice too.
They have a tendency to manipulate
There's no doubt that Libras are charming individuals with beautiful manners, but unfortunately, they can also be shallow, superficial, and very manipulative. They're intelligent and intuitive enough to know exactly what people want to hear or see, but does that makes them manipulative? Well, since Libras get along well with other people, they're able to read people's minds and see what their strengths and weaknesses are. And once they discover other people's weaknesses, they will try to seduce and manipulate people into doing things for them or things they normally would not want to.
They're attracted to beautiful things
As a sign that is ruled by Venus (the goddess of love and beauty), it makes sense that Libra is attracted to beauty and easily smitten by naturally beautiful things and people. Libras are a bit materialistic and they like the finer things in life, so they see the value in investing in expensive, high-quality things, whether it's clothing, handbags, or home decor. Libras pay a lot of attention to their looks, so they're always elegant and well-dressed. They also have great taste when it comes to art, music, movies, or books.
They will forgive but never forget
Libras are genuinely nice and selfless people who always want to avoid conflicts in order to keep the peace. This means that they will forgive, but they will never forget when someone has done them wrong. They have an exceptional memory and even though they won't hold grudges for very long and will be quick to forgive people and give them a second chance, they're intelligent enough to learn from their mistakes, so they will never make the same mistake twice.
