There are many Libra characteristics and personality traits that can help one to understand those born between September 23rd and October 24th. Their sign is an Air sign and so it seems that they are often light hearted in nature. With their zodiac symbol of the scales, it is a reminder that they like everything to be balanced.

It is not a coincidence then either that the Libra likes to live a well balanced life. Libras do not like extremes, but rather to be somewhere in the middle of the road. This can sometimes cause them to be indecisive or have a hard time choosing between things, since they can see the coin from both sides so to speak.

They enjoy a good time, and may even seem slightly flirtatious. Their easy going nature makes it easy for them to get along with many different signs. They enjoy social interaction. They tend to be mellow and good natured, and very peaceful. They are the type who love to find ways to relax and enjoy themselves, and can even be a bit self indulgent at times.

They are very caring and intuitive people, many often feel as if the Libra has a sixth sense, and is especially good at being emotionally and mentally in tune with others. They are great at comforting others and like to make others feel better, so they do well in professions where caring is a nice touch to have.They can be very understanding of others circumstances and points of view – even if it is not a belief they have of their own.

They also make for excellent mediators. They can always help others resolve disagreements and arguments, and have a great eye for finding fair and just compromises that will leave everyone feeling happy and satisfied.

Another good personality trait of Libra is that they can see the cause and effect. They can foresee the consequences or rewards from an action, and this makes them very good at planning as well as making and reaching goals.

Libras are very giving people, and this is always a nice trait to have. But, it’s also important for the Libra to take time for him or herself, otherwise reckless spending or extreme temper tantrums can ensue. Though they are usually levelheaded, if their own needs are not met and the balance is not kept, when they are off balance it can usually be quite extreme.

They handle money well, and do especially good in managing other’s wealth, so it is not uncommon for many financial advisors to be Libras. However, they will need to take great care with their own money matters, as since they have a liking for the finer things in life it is easy for them to overspend on things they may not necessarily need.

Libras have a high value on knowledge, and they also enjoy learning things about others especially. For this reason, it can sometimes seem they like to gossip, since they are usually in tune to what is going on with others. They can sometimes be idealistic, constantly reaching for things that are not always tangible or realistic.

All in all, you can expect a good bit of balance with the Libra – someone who likes excitement and adventure, but is not so crazy to take risks that could be harmful to him or her. They can be great friends to have, and you will know that everything you do with them will be fair.
