The opposite sign: why Aries pulls Libra

Libra will ask three friends which sofa to buy and then buy a fourth, so when it falls hard for the one sign that never hesitates, it is worth noticing. Aries sits opposite Libra, and the pair scores 90 on love, Libra's highest love score with any sign. Venus rules Libra and Mars rules Aries, astrology's oldest image of romance, and the two signs complete each other: Aries is all self, Libra is all other. Each is fascinated by what the other does without trying.

Overall the match scores 73, because both are cardinal signs that want to steer, in opposite ways. Aries decides alone and quickly; Libra weighs everyone's view first. Couples who last tend to learn from each other, with Aries learning to consult and Libra learning to say what it actually wants.

Libra love compatibility: the sign of partnership

Libra is the seventh sign, and in astrology the seventh house is the house of partnership. Libra is cardinal air ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, and it is the sign most defined by relationships. Libra thinks out loud with another person, makes better decisions in company, and feels most like itself when life is shared.

That does not mean Libra will settle for anyone. It has refined taste and high standards for fairness. Libra notices when a relationship tips out of balance, when one person always gives and the other always takes, and it will quietly work to correct it, or eventually leave.

Libra least compatible signs: when the scales will not balance

Pisces and Capricorn tie for Libra's lowest score at 55, with Cancer and Taurus one point higher at 56. Cancer squares Libra: both are cardinal, but Cancer leads with feeling and Libra with reason, and Libra's habit of discussing emotions rather than simply feeling them can leave Cancer cold. Pisces, five signs away, is sweet and romantic, which Libra loves, but Pisces' fluid boundaries and Libra's indecision can leave nobody steering.

Capricorn, Libra's other square, scores 55. Capricorn wants hierarchy and results; Libra wants fairness and pleasant company. Taurus scores 56. It shares Venus with Libra and the two love beauty equally, but Taurus is earthbound and possessive, and Libra needs its social freedom.

Libra and Aries: the partner who tips the scales

Aries sits opposite Libra and scores 90 on love, the highest love score Libra has with anyone, and 73 overall. Venus and Mars are the original lovers' pair, and the attraction is fast. Aries brings decisiveness, and Libra loves someone who simply picks the restaurant. Libra brings the diplomacy the ram lacks. Trust, at 61, is the weak point: Aries acts alone and Libra expects to be consulted. When the ram asks first and Libra states its wishes plainly, this is a magnetic match.

Libra and Taurus: two Venus signs, two ideas of beauty

Taurus is five signs from Libra and scores 56, with communication at 49. Venus rules both, so they share a love of art, food and a beautiful home, and the first dates can feel effortless. Then the differences appear. Libra wants a social life and lots of talk; Taurus wants quiet evenings and few words.

Read the full Gemini and Libra compatibility guide.

Libra and Cancer: harmony and mood

Cancer squares Libra and scores 56, with trust at 49. Libra is drawn to the crab's tenderness and finds its home a lovely place to be. The trouble is that Libra keeps the peace by staying calm and reasonable, and Cancer hears calm as distance. Cancer keeps the peace by going quiet, and Libra hears silence as a verdict. Both are cardinal signs, so each expects the other to come round. Libra offering warmth, not only fairness, closes most of the gap. Read the full Cancer and Libra compatibility guide.

Libra and Leo: the most glamorous pairing

Leo is a sextile for Libra and scores 83, with friendship at 93. Libra admires the lion openly, which is exactly what Leo needs, and Leo's confidence takes the pressure of deciding off the scales.

Virgo sits just before Libra and scores 62. Venus and Mercury share good manners and an eye for quality, and Virgo's quiet competence appeals to the scales. Libra, in turn, shows Virgo how to relax and enjoy beautiful things. Love, at 58, is modest. The friction is criticism and avoidance.
