You must have noticed that whenever a Libra friend, lover, sibling or parent is around, diplomacy is also in the picture. That is because Libra is most associated with balance and empathy. This air sign is charitable and lends a helping hand to many people. They see both sides of an issue and are cool-headed so they can mediate for just about anyone.

Friendly, highly sociable and a gracious host, Libra is almost always the centre of attention in any party or social events. They are good listeners, fun-loving and spontaneous. Libra is a real charmer but has a really flirty nature. They like beautiful things and dislike dirty, unethical behaviour, injustice and ill manners.

Although Libra can be the sweetest thing, they can also be such a pain. Their dark side include stubbornness, insecurity, indecisiveness and vanity. They also have the tendency to be bossy. Once you're very much into their life, they will start telling you what to do, from the big matters to the smaller ones like where the couch must be positioned.

If you're wondering how a balanced sign be so indecisive, blame their "people pleasing" attribute for that. Libras love people and don't want to hurt them as much as possible so they wait for the perfect moment to break in a bad news or a decision that would surely offend somebody. They'd rather wait than break a heart which is often misinterpreted as indecisiveness.

However, a Libra is an intelligent and beautiful person. If you can tolerate the flirtatiousness, you can have a grand time with this person. Other desirable Libra personality traits include being generous. They also like dressing up well, like planning ahead and love the arts. On the downside, they can be domineering, attention seeker and perfectionist.

Libra Desires
A Libra woman is equally charming, intelligent and beautiful. These characteristics are extended to their taste in almost anything-clothes, shoes, accessories, artwork, food, furniture. They can be as sweet and blushing as a debutante and be as bossy a general. The latter may come right after you have been married or as soon are you so drawn to her. She then will tell you to do things her way. She's a good listener though and sincere in helping others from the littlest to biggest matters. On the negative side, they can be vain, indecisive, insecure and stubborn.

Since they're into beautiful things, a Libra woman desires gifts, attention, fashionable clothes, nice furniture, partying, socializing and a man who wouldn't forget to compliment her and make her feel the centre of his existence. She is a vibrant, exquisite and captivating woman after all.

Naturally charming and flirty, a Libra man desires somebody who can challenge him mentally. Two qualities to keep a Libra man's attention are being smart and spontaneous. You have to look good too as Libra loves to party and show off their stuff or partner for that matter. Don't be overly sensitive and never even attempt to keep him away from his friends or the hip crowd because he will flee faster than you can blink.

Both men and women can't tolerate ugly things so show off style and be passionate about the arts and the good life. Libra likes to share his/her blessings so it's important that a partner also has a generous spirit.

Don't pressure a Libra man or woman to pass on judgement. Don't criticize them openly (there is a way to do it subtly). Always compliment their looks and their taste. A Libra man or woman desires anything "beautiful."
