LIBRA AND ARIES
While they're immediately attracted to each other, tensions also
immediately arise with this combination. Libra looks for harmony and
peace, while restless Aries aggressively seeks new challenges and new
worlds to conquer. Libra considers Aries rude and tactless; Aries thinks
Libra hopelessly unwilling to face facts. Aries needs to feel
independent but wants unquestioning fidelity from its partner, and can't
forgive Libra's indecisiveness about making a commitment. Passionate
Aries is also offended by Libra's shallow emotions. Physical rapport is
wonderful for a while but then what?
LIBRA AND TAURUS
This couple shares a love of music and art, but hasn't much else in
common. Taurus is a homebody, which bores Libra, who likes to shine
socially. Libra spends lots of money on luxuries, Taurus advocates
financial caution. Libra dislikes Taurus's dictatorial ways and quickly
loses patience with Taurus's stodgy attitudes. To boot, Taurus is
jealous of Libra's romantic and fickle nature. They are sexually in
tune, but when the song is ended the malady lingers on.
LIBRA AND GEMINI
Pleasure-loving Libra and high-spirited Gemini are an ideal mating. Both
are curious, vivacious, and affectionate. For them, love is a carousel
that never stops. True, the fun and games are more frolicsome than
deeply passionate, but these two don't care as long as they're having
fun. No jealousy or possessiveness will spoil their good times. Both
tend to be quite indecisive, so there will be lots of discussion but not
a lot of action. However, both know how to use charm to get other people
to do things for them.
LIBRA AND CANCER
Cancer might eventually understand Libra's romantic nature, but Cancer
is too cautious to press indecisive Libra for the emotional response it
needs. Disappointed at Libra's shallowness, Cancer turns sharply
critical, and those crab-claws cut deep. Money-oriented Cancer is also
annoyed by Libra's extravagance. Libra loves the glittering social life;
Cancer is happiest in the warmth of its own home. Problems might be
solved in time, but the wait usually isn't worth it.
LIBRA AND LEO
Libra's amorous playfulness blends marvelously with Leo's dash and
energy. Leo's generous, expansive sensuality really lights Libra's fire,
and the thermometer moves up to torrid. Libra does have to approach Leo
carefully on matters involving ego, but that won't be a problem for
tactful Libra. In a real conflict, Libra knows how to yield gracefully.
Together they share a love of luxury, going to parties, and creating a
beautiful home that serves as a stage setting for these two stars.
LIBRA AND VIRGO
Libra is too affectionate and frivolous for emotionally inhibited Virgo,
who takes love very seriously. Virgo won't express flowery admiration,
which is the stuff of life to Libra. Stay-at-home Virgo resents Libra's
socialbutterfly instincts and pursuit of pleasure. Libra's tastes are
expensive. Virgo is careful, not to say miserly. Libra finds Virgo
fussy, critical, completely inflexible. Love will have a short season
for these two.
LIBRA AND LIBRA
Equally demonstrative, lively, warm, sociable, in love with beautiful
things, they enjoy pleasing each other in sexual ways. But with these
two there's a great sense of playing at love. A problem is that neither
wants to face reality. Though they are charming, peace-loving, and
adaptable, each needs a stronger balance than the other can provide.
Also, because they are so much alike, the specter of boredom lurks
around the edges. But if both of them can find enough outside
stimulation to whet their appetites, this can be an interesting liaison.
LIBRA AND SCORPIO
At first, Scorpio's intensity in love flatters Libra, who is always
looking for any new form of attention. But Scorpio is also touchy,
moody, and quick to lash out in anger, which is just the kind of person
Libra cannot bear. Possessive Scorpio tries to control a lover, but
Libra has a need for diversion and won't stay in Scorpio's net. Libra's
flirtatiousness and casual attitude toward sex infuriates sensual
Scorpio. As Scorpio seethes and becomes steadily more jealous and
demanding, Libra has either to submit-or to leave.
LIBRA AND SAGITTARIUS
Libra is stimulated by Sagittarius's eagerness for adventure, and
Sagittarius is drawn to Libra's affectionate charm. Both are highly
romantic, though this quality is more dominant in Libra. Libra will want
to settle down before flighty Sagittarius does, but they can work that
out. Charming, clever Libra knows how to appeal to Sagittarius's
intellectual side and easily keeps Sagittarius intrigued. This pairing
should develop into a fun-filled, free, delightful relationship.
LIBRA AND CAPRICORN
Libra is drawn to Capricorn's strong sexuality, but that's as far as it
goes. Libra needs flattery and attention, but Capricorn keeps its
affections buried. Sentimental, in love-with-love Libra won't get much
understanding from realistic, materialistic Capricorn. And Libra's lazy,
easygoing ways will offend Capricorn, who believes in hard work and
achievement at any price. Libra is fond of socializing and nightlife,
while Capricorn tends to be a loner, comfortable with only a chosen few.
A short-lived romance.
LIBRA AND AQUARIUS
Libra's indolently sensual nature is stirred to life by Aquarius's bold
and experimental lovemaking. And these two have all the makings for a
beautiful friendship: harmonious vibes in socializing, artistic
interests, even in involvement in public affairs. These two will enjoy
the friendship side of an affair as much as the romantic part.
Indecisive Libra is delighted with the fact that quick-minded Aquarius
likes to make decisions. With a satisfying love life and a mutual
enjoyment of living, all signals are go.
LIBRA AND PISCES
They start off fine, since both are sentimental and affectionate. In a
way they are alike: Both want to impose their romantic visions on
reality. But Pisces needs domination, reassurance, and constant
attention, and Libra soon finds that cloying and restrictive. Libra is
gregarious and fun-loving. Pisces feels neglected, and whines and
scolds. Pisces senses that Libra's commitment is often insincere and
that Libra's charm is mostly superficial. Sexually, Libra has to take
the lead, and finds that most annoying.
