The official website defines Libra in three segments: sign class, lunar sway, and aspect.

Teal Signs are natural charmers. Social and flirtatious, they are great at parties and public speaking events. Even though they aren't afraid to use their many engaging qualities in both personal and business ventures, they have a strong moral sense. Right and wrong are very obvious to a Teal Sign, and it can frustrate them that others don't see the world the same way they do. Their idealism can make them strong defenders of justice, but it can also result in them being incredibly let down. Their strict adherence to procedure can lead to errors in judgement; they can be gullible and too quick to trust. They have vibrant imaginations, and enjoy fiction and roleplaying, and often those games will resemble the lives they want to be living. Deep down, they often long for a hero, someone they can idolize and count on, with the smarts and charisma to keep up with them. Unfortunately, they have a tendency to get involved with people who are very obviously wrong for them out of a desire not to be alone. Many Teal Signs are better off being single, at least until someone really extraordinary comes along.

Marked by a flexible optimism, the personalities of Prospit Dreamers are reactive and intuitive. They naturally exist in the present, rather than look to the future or obsess over the past. When making decisions Prospit Dreamers tend to rely on gut instinct and whatever emotions they are experiencing at the moment. This makes them quick to act and reliable in a crisis, but it also can make them capricious. They have trouble thinking things through, and their feelings toward specific situations and decisions can change from day to day. They solve problems with creativity rather than cold logic, often seeing multiple options with ease and clarity. Because they generally take things as they come, Prospit Dreamers are less rebellious than they are adaptable-instead of struggling against authority, they will find a way to coexist with it. Possibly because they are so instinctual and flexible, they like having a defined set of rules-a safety net for their passionate lives. Naturally trusting, they have trouble with deception or hiding their true selves, and will often worry about what others think of them. The self they project into the world is often not under their control.

Those bound to the aspect of Mind are-you guessed it-the universe's great thinkers. But don't for a second think that means that they have all the answers. They are very concerned with remaining rational, and they have such a firm hold on the constant conjunction of their thinking that it's easy for them to see the multitudes of the choices laid out before them, which often leaves them frozen and unable to act. That said, when a Mind-bound finally launches into action, they can execute a plan with unbelievable grace and precision. Their identity is fluid-it can change from day-to-day, from thought-to-thought, from interaction-to-interaction. Remaining logical is more important to them than building up a solid foundation of "self." At their best they are great innovators, architects, and creators. At their worst they can be nasty, inflexible, and indecisive.

**Please note that while, yes, this information is about the original zodiac sign, not all of this information will be true about every single person born under this sign. Also, hating people for their zodiac sign is just not cool.**

Libra (from the Greek Ζυγός) is the seventh (7th) of twelve (12) western zodiac signs. It takes inspiration from the zodiac Libra "The Scales", and people born within the months of September 23rd to October 23rd are known to be a Libra. The zodiac Libra is one (1) of six (6) positive signs, one (1) of four (4) cardinal signs, and one (1) of three (3) air signs alongside Gemini and Aquarius. The sign ruler of Libra is Venus, the detriment is Mars, the exhaltation is Saturn, and the fall is Sun.

The six (6) positive signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius) are known as the signs with a Positive Polarity. This is in reference to the energy that the sign holds. These six (6) signs are traditionally known as the active, Yang, expressive, or "masculine" signs. The positive signs also include the fire and air triplicities.

The three (3) modalities or modes in reference to a sign is talking about the position it can be found in during each season. The four (4) elements manifests in three (3) modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. They are also known as the Quadruplicities, because they are grouped with four (4) signs in each group, one sign of each element. Each of the three (3) modes also have specific traits that the signs grouped to them hold or example. Cardinal signs are known for their action, dynamic, initiative, and great force. The Cardinal signs are Aries (fire), Cancer (water), Libra (air), and Capricorn (earth).

The four (4) elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) are attributed to the twelve (12) western zodiac signs, and each group corresponds to a specific group of traits often found in those signs, along with a personality type that was proposed by the Greek physician, Hippocrates. These groups are known as the Four Element Triplicities. One of these groups is Air which has been known to house the traits of Great Communicators, Social, Conceptual. According to Hippocrates, the Air element correlates to the Sanguine personality type. Sanguine people are described to be Stable Extroverts, which means that they tend to be outgoing, talkative, lively, and carefree.

Libra people are intelligent and have active minds, they're constantly thinking and creating up worlds inside their heads. They hate to be alone and love to surround themselves with whoever will give them the attention that they want and they love to be in the spotlight, even if it's because of something bad. Libra is interested in justice and the justice system, and they know better than anybody how flawed and screwed up the world is, but they're determined to change the world one step at a time. They can hold a grudge for a really long time, and they're known for often saying the wrong thing to the wrong person, but the Libra is one of the most loyal friends you'll ever have.

Of all the western zodiacs, Libra is known for being the most romantic of the bunch and they have an ability to get along with most of the signs. Libra has the most success in a relationship with Leo and Sagittarius because the two have some sort of harmony, and Aries is also another great sign for the Libra because they seem to balance each other out. Gemini and Aquarius share many of the same ideals and appreciation for life as the Libra and thus, they make a wonderful duo. Some signs, like the Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, often clash with the Libra in a way that doesn't turn out too great for either party.
