Each Sign's Guide to Long Term Success with Libra

At Align, we believe that any two signs can make it work so long as they understand each other's personalities. Libra is the sign of partnership, so it's worth investing in some of these compromises for a long term Libra lovefest.

ARIES: HAVE A "WIN IT" MENTALITY

When Aries and Libra set their minds to something, they commit hard. But then... they kind of lose interest. Both signs must have the same outcome here: we're not quitters. With that intention set, you'll be good to go.

TAURUS: FOCUS ON THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE

Taurus and Libra are ruled by Venus, the planet that rules love, beauty, and luxury. These two will appreciate each other's great taste, and should revel in it as much as possible.

GEMINI: GENTLY REMIND LIBRA YOU'RE HERE TO STAY

Libra has a reputation for being indecisive (fair, tbh), and Gemini is not known to be one of astrology's most committal signs. Like not at all. When Libra decides to partner up, they commit hard - it is the sign of partnership, after all - and they'll need to know Gemini is on the same page.

CANCER: CHECK YOUR JEALOUSY AT THE DOOR

Oh, sweet Cancer. Your heart is really in the right place. But social Libra wants to hang out, get out of the house, meet some new people, and you want to snuggle up and #NetflixAndChill. You'd never tell Libra you're mad, you just assume they can tell you want him or her all to yourself. Libra isn't confrontational either, so addressing this jealousy will get messy and emotional and overwhelming for both of you.

LEO: RETURN THE COMPLIMENTS ONCE IN A WHILE

Libra and Leo are natural pairs because Libra is all about "you" and Leo is all about "me." But sweet Libra needs the love to be returned every once in a while, and everyone knows that generous, loving Leo is more than equipped to throw some sweet nothings Libra's way.

VIRGO: GIVE LIBRA SPACE TO SOCIALIZE

Social Libra and introverted Virgo may have a hard time figuring out what makes for the best Friday night plan. Libra can go pretty much anywhere and talk to pretty much anyone, coming away with 10,000 new friends and three job offers, while Virgo is comfortable with their routine. For Virgo and Libra to work, Virgo has to make sure that Libra has their social outlet. Let them Libra out with their besties while Virgo savors their much cherished alone time. You'll both be happier because of it.

LIBRA: COME UP WITH A DECISION-MAKING PRACTICE

Libra 1: What do YOU want to do?

Libra 2: I don't care. I'll do whatever YOU want to do!

Libra 1: No, but I don't care either. What do YOU want to do?

Libra 2: Seriously. I'll do whatever. What do you think?

Continues on a loop for hours and hours and hours....

Ok team, make up your mind. Figure out a way to say "this time I'll decide, next time you decide," and just know that you'll both be happy doing what you think will make the other happy.

SCORPIO: NIP CONFLICT IN THE BUD

Libra avoids conflict at all cost. Scorpio avoids conflict too ... or so we think. They're actually plotting serious revenge in a way that will cut you straight to your core. Libra and Scorpio can be a beautiful partnership, just make sure that before Scorpio heads down Revenge Road, you're addressing issues early on. Before they bubble up and the body count goes up. 

SAGITTARIUS: TRAVEL AND GET LOST TOGETHER

Libra and Sag are two of the most curious, intellectual signs there are. As romantic partners, these two often begin as best buds. Take adventures together, explore, make sure your brains and body both stay stimulated.

CAPRICORN: DEFINE ROLES

Libra is a thinker, and Capricorn is a doer. You both lead in your own way, but you have to set the roles to make this work. Capricorn will need structure and Libra needs balance, but when you figure out the right matrix, you'll be able to make it work.

AQUARIUS: PICK YOUR BATTLES

Aquarius is the zodiac's rebel. You have your beliefs and you stand up for what you believe is truly right. Libra has a similar motivator in life, but reallllly doesn't want to fight about it. You both care a lot about what you think is fair and right in situations, and when it comes to your relationship, remember that you both are doing what you're doing because you truly believe it to be the fair thing to do. Start conversations from there.

PISCES: AVOID THE SILENT TREATMENT

Libra and Pisces are both generous, loving partners who will do anything for each other. You deal with conflict differently. Libra avoids by not talking and internalizing, causing Pisces to feel super hurt and emotional about Libra's non-communication. Pisces, frustrated and hurt but not wanting to hurt Libra's feelings by bringing anything up, will swim away. Silence is your worst enemy! Talking is hard, but not talking is even harder.

Sex with a Libra

Everyone loves Libras.  It's hard not to! They're aesthetic, fair-minded, and flirtatious af.  So when it comes to matters between the sheets (i.e. s-e-x), Libras stay true to their scales: they're all about equilibrium.

So how do you achieve sexual balance with a Libra? It's more than just 69-ing (though we're not mad at that either). Here are some tried-and-true tips on how to how to get sexy with your air sign lover.

1. SENSUAL SEDUCTION.

Libras are ruled by Venus, so they're sensual beings. Libras don't go straight for intercourse (we see you, Aries). They prefer to start off with a sexy battle of the wits, or perhaps some scandalous heavy petting. 

2. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

Civilized Libras are not going to do it just anywhere. Time, place, and etiquette are essential factors for these air signs. Needless to say, Libras are definitely not prudish, so as long a sense of decorum is maintained, these air signs may get off getting down in unconventional places. May we recommend a little backseat action?

3. TALK DIRTY 2 ME.

We cannot reiterate enough: Libras are THE MOST FLIRTATIOUS SIGN OF THE ZODIAC. Write it down and say it five times right now so you never forget. There is very little you can do to match Libras' level of charm and finesse, but a little sexy talk with these air signs will be sure to get them riled up and realize they're not the only ones who know how to seduce.

4. KEEP IT CLEAN.

Cleanliness is next to godliness for our Libra loves. Indulge their aesthetic impulses and take a steamy shower together. Cleaning each other head to toe is a huge turn on for this sultry, hygienic sign.

5. RETURNING FAVORS.

Libras are people pleasers. While this may frustrate Libra's partner at times, it definitely comes in handy in the bedroom (or shower, or backseat...). Libras will stop at nothing to play fair, so enjoy your Libra lovers innate desire to please. Do something nice for Libra, and they'll be sure to return the favor. 

Things that Make Libra Feel Sexy

Let's tip those scales.

Getting their Paycheck

Libra lives for balance and harmony, so that couple of days when they deposit a check and the account balances are #Winning, a Libra feels independent, rich and generous, thereby sexy. (Until they blow it all on #Fashion)

Getting New Clothes

Speaking of #Fashion, clothes and style are particularly important for Libra, so even if their little hearts shudder when they drop that 90 bucks on a new pair of shoes or a leather vintage member's only jacket, they'll have a fashion boner for a good long while every time they slip into the new digs. (Until next season, of course.)

Being in a Stunning Environment

If you really want a Libra to feel sexy, bring them somewhere where aesthetic is obviously the priority. Even being in a fancy hotel lobby (as long as they're dressed right, which obvi they will be) makes Libra feel they belong, and they have some control over the world. And then they will make out with you. 

Figuring Something Out

Libras love contemplation and long, winding dialogues, so when they land on an excellent way to articulate a point without getting tired, or finally put together the reasoning for something, they have an intellectual orgasm (followed very possibly by real orgasms)

Satisfying you

If your Libra can get you off, they'll get off. Libra is all about reciprocation, so when they see you enjoying their moves and sexual incantations, you can be they're loving it as much (if not more) than you. This is why being vocal is important, and making sure they see that you're having fun. 

ROLE PLAY IDEAS WITH LIBRA

Libra likes to keep it fair and balanced, but that doesn't mean they aren't down to spice it up every once in a while. One of the most social signs of the zodiac, Libra is equipped to handle new situations, even if it's just some healthy role playing with bae.

PROFESSOR & STUDENT

Are your lesson plans prepared? Intellectual Libra will lose their mind if you can stimulate their mind as a sexy professor.

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE & SOLICITOR GENERAL

May we approach the bench? Libra's symbol is the scales, and it is the sign of justice, law, and fairness. Present your oral arguments to the court and find out Libra's verdict...

DOMINANT & SUBMISSIVE

We can get all 50 Shades right now, but that'll come soon (we see you, Scorpio season). Fair and balanced Libra will need two rounds of Sub & Dom, experiencing it from both angles.

STRANGERS

Libra is one of the most observant signs in the zodiac, always paying attention to the relationships of other people around them. Arrange to meet at a bar and play out the night as though you've never met before. You'll see a side of Libra you've never seen before.

SEXY MASSEUSE

Even though it's usually happy endings with your Libra, take their need to please to the next level with a sensual masseuse-client exercise.

HALLIE AND ANNIE FROM THE PARENT TRAP ARE LIBRAS.

It doesn’t make a lot of sense that we celebrate Christopher Columbus and not Hallie Parker and Annie James from the iconic and generation-defining movie The Parent Trap. Even though both were played by Cancer Lindsay Lohan in some pretty cutting edge green screen technology at the time, the realization that they had the same Libra birthday is what set the entire plot in motion. 

We owe so much to The Parent Trap, but we mostly need to celebrate Hallie and Annie’s birthday, October 11. Happy 28th birthday to two of the brightest minds of our generation.

They really balanced their twin looks.

They’re obsessed with pop culture.

They’re great teammates.

They are ideas people.

They're both classy. Especially when being British.

And so well dressed.

They’re obsessed with forming new relationships.
