Libra in Love

As the most partner-oriented sign in the zodiac, why is it that you have so many relationship crises? Those scales you balance on your graceful shoulders surely make you the most reasonable of people. Well, you are reasonable but you're also very keen to set the balance straight, and that can involve an awful lot of ups and downs, and a fair amount of arguments. You are, of course, the most desirable of women - you know how to make the best of yourself, whether or not you've been gifted with perfect features and a figure to die for, and your charm is legendary. Men fall in love with you at the drop of a hat, and, given the work you put into the art of relating and the give and take of marriage, it's hard to see why they ever leave you. Well, to be honest, you tend to be the one to spilt the mighty atom: when you've waited long enough to get back what you put into a relationship and realized your other half is never going to meet you, even half-way, you finally leave. Admittedly, you almost always have someone else to go to, to lessen the pain and panic of separation, but you do own a pair of designer boots - and for walking all over your mystified men!

Most people consider Virgo to be the zodiac's perfectionist but it's you: you expect a knight whose shining armour never tarnishes, and you'll go from one love affair to another until you find it. What you really need to do, however, is accept that no man is perfect and that no matter how you try, you cannot change a leopard's spots. Another technique to help you find long-term happiness in marriage is to take a much slower and reserved entry into a relationship in the first place: allow him to show what he can do for you, let him do the work. Draw the lines in the sand from the outset, and with a little bit of Libran good luck, you'll create a perfect heaven of a relationship in which to spend the rest of your life.

The Libran Man

Picking out Mr Libra in a crowd is easy: he's the debonair, urbane culture-vulture, hobnobbing with those of power and influence while making sure he's being seen in the best light. Charming? You've never been so charmed. He has manners, he is attentive, empathizes with you and your problems. He can be politically correct and let you pay for dinner but he'd rather play the gentleman. Don't be fooled though, it's just his captivating ruse to gain control. You see, he is a Cardinal sign - ambitious and self-motivated - and he's also a narcissist, which means no matter how much he talks about sharing, his main concern is himself. He's also not the sexiest guy in the zodiac - he may have a passion for erotica but intimacy and hot, steamy exchanges are simply not his thing.

Who's For You

Librans can knit a relationship out of any wool! In other words, you can make a match with any of the twelve signs, however, you will tend to be most attracted to your Cardinal fellows - Capricorn, Cancer, Aries and Libra. To begin with you and Mr Capricorn form a mutual admiration society: he loves your classiness while you admire his drive and strength, yet in the long run he can turn into a control-freak, appearing stingy, leaden and uncommunicative. The Cancerian, with his sensitivity, mystery and dependability can also make a wonderful partner: the only thing to watch here is that both of you have a dislike of confrontation, so that unexpressed hurt and resentments may lead to a permanent frost on the relationship. Aries is another good match - he is dashing and colourful, passionate and disarming: he makes all the decisions and you are in charge of carrying them out entirely as you wish. What can you say about a Libra-Libra relationship other than it's a perfect reflection of you - the good, the bad and the ugly! Sagittarius and Leo are two other signs who bring out your best - and vice versa.

Life Love Money The Spring Horoscope for Libra

You have people to see and places to go, and in some cases this will involve a serious amount of travel. From June onwards your horizons will be expanding, and even if you’re not flying off to the other side of the world, you’ll be adding significantly to your bank of experience and knowledge. Other people could exert an even greater influence on your affairs whether family, friends and professional associates create opportunities for you to go where you’ve never gone before, or events in the lives of others change your plans. Saturn remains in your sign throughout the spring, and you’ll get a reminder of what this planet can teach you about boundaries and karma on and around the 15th April. Nonetheless, any developments that appear to send you back to the drawing board, serve a useful purpose. The second half of 2012 begins a very successful and far-ranging 12 months for you.

February may well have been a key month for your love life, and many Librans will be building on the events of that time, whether they rescued a relationship in trouble, set an affair of the heart on a permanent course or a new romance began. Put a ring around the 6 April because you could have even more to celebrate at this time. By sharp contrast, any doubts you may have experienced over the future of a relationship could be confirmed. Travel, different cultures and a business trip could play a part in some Libran love stories so don’t forget where you’ve put your passport or your sexy underwear! On the 15th May, Venus turns retrograde placing some obstacles in the path of true love; in most instances this is just a temporary hitch but any warning flags should not be ignored. Late June shows you whether those fears were justified.

Jupiter remains in one of the key money areas of your chart throughout the spring. You could benefit from an inheritance or some other kind of unearned income, and this continues to be a time of your life where you should be investing in property – investing, period - and getting people on side to back your financial/business ventures. Saturn, Uranus and Pluto are not making it easy for you to set your compass to success without running into road-blocks but this should not deter you from your long-term ambitions. Late March is a tricky time all round, and anything not built to last may collapse at the seams, but at least what is still in place is built to last! The theme of expanding horizons is playing long and loud regarding your life in general and career in particular, so don’t be surprised if an opportunity arises in a foreign country.
