This need for balance extends into relating skills as it is also very aware of equality and keeping things fair. This is a clue to what we all need in order to have successful relationships. We all have Libra somewhere in our chart, not just the people born under the sun sign of Libra. We have to learn the Libran traits of compromise, cooperation, recognizing each other's needs, and giving our partners equal room in the relationship. We have to learn to be considerate and reach out when the other needs us, and be willing to show that we need them too.
Nothing is a one-way street.
Any planet in the 7th house will have these requirements no matter what sign is there. Libra is also seeking to be objective as it is at the 180 degree opposition in the chart, an aspect that describes two opposite urges in the psyche that will need to stay in proportion to each other. The symbol is the scales. This symbol implies that in partnership we will be required to consciously create balance with our significant other. Libra is also interested in ideas and concepts as it is also an air sign, and is therefore very mental in its orientation to life.
