Do you consider yourself a true Libra? Read the characteristics commonly attributed to Libras below and see what you think.

Libras enjoy helping others. They like to work with the public, which makes them great ambassadors, sales people, customer service representatives and restaurant hosts. They are also extremely creative and gracious people. Intuitive people, Libras can also often sense the wants and needs of those around them before being told.

Strategic yet easygoing, Libras walk the middle of the road and are all about reaching equilibrium. Though Libras aren’t usually interested in fashion, they are naturally elegant and graceful people. They often wear classic clothing styles that fit with their romantic nature.

The only sign that’s not a human or an animal, Libra is represented by the scales. This is very fitting, considering that the Libra cannot stand injustices of any kind. The most sociable of the signs, Libra also seeks balance in all other areas of life.

While Libras are great at helping others, they often forget to take care of themselves. Some Libras have also been known as “lazy Libras,” as they don’t like to get their hands very dirty. That said, they can be very ambitious, and while they don’t like extremes, they do find passion in the things they love.

Libras are generally moderate in their opinions, and able to see others’ points of view, which makes them great leaders. They are fans of the finer things in life and abhor violence in all forms.
