Exploring the positive and negative characteristics of Libra

It’s Libra lesson time!

Libras are wise observers who consider all possible scenarios before taking any action. They constantly strive for harmony and balance.

The Libra Personality

A quick thing about Libras: Sometimes, you’ll find them making people uncomfortable or off-balanced, and their sense of humor can sometimes come off as hurtful. This is because they want to see the true nature of people by putting them in odd situations. Afterward, Libras will often have long conversations exploring why people behave as they do. When someone says or does something strange, they want to understand why. In short, Libras strive for the truth, but not always effectively.

Essential Characteristics of Libra

Here are some more basics about Libras. They love art, culture, beauty, and having fun. Keeping up their good looks is very important to them, as well. Libras need plenty of time to think about their decisions, so don’t rush them. Their natural inner peace means they also have the gift of seeing the highest potential in the world around them. Most importantly, Libras constantly fight against injustices and strive for peace and equal rights for everyone.

Libra Men Going Through a Breakup

Libra men become like lost boys after a relationship ends, not understanding what went wrong and why someone would reject them. Because of this, a Libra man will often make up excuses for why his ex-partner behaved the way they did. He’ll try to lord over his ex and maintain control over any matters that still concern the two of them, like splitting dishware or claiming mutual friends. To avoid this feeling of hurt, Libra men will often end a relationship themselves once they feel the writing is on the wall.
