Negative and Positive Libra

Characteristics
By Patricia Lantz C.Ht.
Astrologer

SOURCE

As the cardinal air sign, a Libra's personality is very

much about relating to others. They are often
considered the nicest, most charming people in the
world, and they are a favorite of almost everyone
they meet. Librans are at their best in harmonious
relationships, and it's in their interactions with
others that both the most positive and negative
traits of Libras can be seen.

Good Libra Traits

Libras are noted for their social skills and make
highly popular guests at parties due to their
charming, communicative, and easy-going natures.
Pleasant interpersonal connections are very
important for a Libra, and they have an uncanny
intuition when it comes to the motivations and
potential of others. Because of these positive
qualities, a Libran can be counted on to smooth hurt
feelings or fill awkward pauses in a conversation at
any gathering.

makes them wonderful mediators who are able to
concentrate on the what's being said and encourage
fair solutions.

Charming and Tactful

Libras have a pleasing manner and are acutely
sensitive to what is proper and appropriate in
dealing with others. This allows them to give
difficult feedback, communicate sensitively, and say
the right thing to preserve a relationship.

Romantic and Idealistic

Librans are in love with the idealistic nature of love.
They believe in a true love. Their idealistic nature
allows them to have an incurable optimism when it
comes to romance and to be very skilled at creating
the conditions for romantic love as well as
recreating those circumstances when their
relationship begin to fall apart.

Peaceful and Easy-Going

Libra's kind, gentle, and mild manner enables them
to develop the long-lasting friendships and bonds
with others that are so important to their sense of
self.

Extroverted and Optimistic

Libras have more fun and enjoyable personal
relationships, and are more openly passionate in
their romantic relationships.

Clever and Intelligent

Libras are great with friendly banter, creative with
their ideas, and can quickly come up with ingenious
but fair and logical solutions to problems. These
abilities allow them to hold their own in any
conversation and respond with a quick wit in
unexpected ways.

Spontaneous and Fun

Creative, enthusiastic and lively, Libras are open-
minded and have a contagious zest for life that
allows them to interact with and inspire all sorts of
people in extraordinary ways.

Negative Libra Characteristics

Most good Libra traits and characteristics have an
equal and opposite bad trait or characteristic. For
example, someone who is spontaneous (good) can
also act impulsively (bad). So, despite the fact that
Libra is striving to develop many positive
personality traits, it's that effort that makes Librans
vulnerable to the negative.

Indecisive, Unreliable, and Naive

Libra's easy going peaceful nature (good) make
them vulnerable too giving too much of themselves
(bad). Though not easily swayed by emotions, they
are prone to letting others change their thinking and
can waver when it comes to keeping a promise
(bad).

Detached and Unemotional

While this trait allows Librans to react calmly to
highly emotional circumstances and individuals
(good) combined with their peaceful nature (good)
it can also blind them to the harsh realities of life
(bad).

Trouble Makers
Librans can lose their cool, separate people, and
create conflict (bad), often in order to sharpen their
skills in diplomacy (good). As a result, they may find
themselves surrounded by conflict that's often of
their own making (bad).

Superficial and Vain

Librans have a refined sense of beauty (good) but
can get so carried away with outer beauty that they
neglect to cultivate their own inner beauty (bad).
SOU

Selfish and Self-Indulgent

They love the finer things in life (good), and this can
lead to being extravagant and self-indulgent in
pleasing themselves (bad).

Tit-for-Tat Behavior
A Libran's natural aversion to conflict (good) leads
them to avoid any sort of outward ugliness or
unpleasantness. But that doesn't mean they don't
get angry. It's just that theirs is a more subtle
"sugarcoated hostility." This is where their
cleverness (good) turns into deviousness (bad) and
where the need to balance things out (good) turns to
tit-for-tat behavior (bad).

Transforming Bad to Good

It's important for Librans to take a step back and
evaluate their lives every so often so they don't lose
track of who they really are, what they think, what
they really want, and how they are behaving toward
others. Often it only takes being aware of the
negative potential to curb the bad behavior and
focus on developing their positive characteristics.
Certainly, being a Sun sign Libra doesn't guarantee
the person will act out any of these negative traits,
but every Libra has the potential. However, much
depends on the Libran's age, wisdom, and level of
self-awareness

Positive and Negative Libra Qualities

Together
There is no such thing as a perfect horoscope sign.
All the signs from Aries through Pisces have both
positive and negative expressions. It's important to
remember that the Sun sign does not reveal who you
are, but who you're striving to become. Libras will
be developing and perfecting their good qualities
over their lifetimes, and mistakes will be made along
the way. However, it's through their interactions
and intimate bonds with others that they are able to
become aware of the negative potential and begin
making right choices.

More About the Libra Personality

Libra is a complex sign, and a Libran's picture
perfect exterior hides many fears. They fear the
ugliness in human nature and become anxious when
confronted with unfairness, unpleasantness,
unequal treatment, and their own selfishness. They
are afraid of being alone, but hesitant to commit for
fear of being disillusioned in love. On a more
superficial level, Librans are apprehensive of
disapproval and of being seen in an unattractive
light. Yes, as friendly and put together as they might
seem, it can be difficult being a Libra, it's just that
most are too nice to let it show.
