Libras are difficult to really understand because they seem so contradictory. They’re simultaneously extroverted and introverted, strategic and spontaneous, focused and intuitive. This variability makes it difficult to pin down their true character. They are an entire constellation of personalities.

Libras are different depending on who they're around. This is because they value empathy and want to be receptive. They can be other people’s mirrors. While they have strong opinions about other people, it can take a long time for them to understand themselves.

Libras want to be admired not for their talents but for their charm. They want to be seen as the responsible figure who can balance out the turbulent elements around them. Libras feel an intense amount of guilt and shame when they are unhappy because they know that their unhappiness affects everyone around them.

These traits lead them to be manipulated by others. Libras also have a tendency to be indecisive.

Libras put a lot of weight on the opinions of others. Although they are secretly terrified of negative judgment, they have a hard time avoiding the spotlight. They need to be noticed in order to feel validated.

What Libras need to discover is that positivity is its own kind of delusion. Libras are bound by the limitations of their bodies and their minds. They are contained within the boundaries of what their five senses tell them. They are able to understand the flavor of the world, but not the color. They’re not able to interpret the underlying micro-signals that others can. The dark abyss of the unknown is a terrifying place for them, which is why they have to pretend that they know everything. They project an air of omniscience. But in truth, they have no idea what they are talking about.

They are capable of organizing their lives with such complex structure that they rarely face truly unknown situations.

Libra’s problem isn’t boredom. Their problem is monotony. They despise any repetitive action. They hate being stuck in the same old patterns that other people seem to get stuck in. They crave variety and adventure. Libras can be immensely resourceful at finding ways to be challenged, amused, and inspired.

Libra doesn't hate anyone (to their face).

Libras have a reputation for being flighty, but really they tend to lack commitment. But Libra isn’t as flaky as they may seem. They just have a tough time staying focused on one thing. Because of this, Libras are very easy to get along with, but somewhat impossible to maintain a consistent relationship with. They’ll always be there to listen to your problems, but they’ll always have somewhere to be. They’ll always want to help you out, but they’ll always have someone else they need to help out, too.

Libras want to please everyone and will do anything to keep the peace. Compromise is a natural reflex for them. They are also very compassionate people, and sometimes have a hard time saying no to others. This can make it hard for them to see when others are manipulative or self-serving.
