Libra in Astrology

With Venus as their ruling planet, Libras adore a life that looks good! Because they are air signs, they can often have their heads up in the clouds (like imagining their crushes or a life of luxury), but daydreaming is not always a bad thing! Their imagination is one of their biggest assets that they can put to work finding careers in the arts or in literature. Intelligent, kind, and always willing to put others before themselves, Libras value harmony in all forms. This makes them masters at compromising and diplomacy. In fact, they are the happiest when they have a large group of friends, family and coworkers that they can count on!

Venus in Astrology

Venus is another one of our personal planets that affects us daily. It rules over Taurus and Libra. Venus is our planet of love, pleasure and desires, reflecting our aesthetic values and tastes. If you ever thought of living in luxury, buying that amazing painting, getting married or even going out to a 5-star restaurant, that is Venus energy. It rules over our impulse to relate to others, how we show love and affection, and how we create common bonds. It is generally our love and relationship planet.
