8 Cheery and Soothing Hobbies Every Libra Zodiac Sign Should Try at Least Once

The start of fall—which coincides with Libra season—is nearly here, ushering in a period of togetherness, fun and harmony. Lasting from Sep. 23 to Oct. 22, it's the perfect time to figure things out and lay the groundwork for the rest of fall to come.

If you're a Libra yourself, whether it's your sun sign or it lies somewhere else in your chart, you might be feeling even more social and eager to keep busy than usual. Hunting for the perfect hobby to connect with others while adding more joy into your life? We have some top suggestions, picked specifically for Libra, below.

Photography

When you think about it, photography can be one of the most social forms of art, making it perfect for social butterflies, Libra. Libras are ruled by the planet Venus, so they have a natural pull toward all things aesthetically pleasing and cozy, and while they can take pleasure in capturing beautiful images of nature or architecture, they're likely to find their greatest love in snapping shots of people. They know how to capture moments in time, with a charm and lightness that brings out people's inner beauty, and they can use their cameras to immortalize scenes and tell stories in a powerful new way.

Collaborative Dance

You'll notice that most of the hobbies on this list are related to community, because that's where Libra tends to thrive most. They're energized by being with other people, and nothing makes them light up more than bringing joy to others, which is why some kind of group dance appeals to them so much. It's a low-pressure way to join up with others, simply losing yourself and moving along to music. Plus, the bigger the group, the less they have to worry about being perfect or sticking out like a sore thumb, because they're all in it together.

 

An Arts and Crafts Class

Libra's appreciation of beautiful things also makes them natural-born artists, though they're more likely to get frustrated or discouraged if they try out their craft solo. Instead, taking a class to learn more about art, whether it's drawing, painting or sculpting, or even fiber arts or fabric work, will satisfy their creativity as well a their desire to be around others. This creates the perfect cooperative environment to learn and grow, as well as pass knowledge and insight along to others.

A Book Club

People might think of reading as a solo activity, but with a book club, the joy of discovering new stories can become something even greater as a social event. For one, books encourage empathy and connection, telling stories that allow you to step into another person's shoes and learn about the world—even when you're reading fiction. Discussing these books allows people to bond over shared experiences and hear different perspectives, and they can be great for broadening horizons as well. Plus, if an in-person book club is out of the questions, they can always turn to BookTok or other online resources to join discussions and find community.

Start a Band

Again, Libra's love of creativity and aesthetics makes them big lovers of music. While some are mostly listeners, preferring to stick to making playlists and expanding their diverse music libraries, others are natural artists inclined to sing, write or perform. By meeting up with like-minded musicians, they can start a band, whether that's just for recreational jams or to build something bigger and share their music with an audience. It's a creative emotional outlet that can lead to something much bigger if they stick with it and find their listeners.

 

Cooking

Done right, cooking is about more than just creating food that tastes good. Food brings people together, nurturing their bodies as well as their spirits, and it's an important element of culture and connection. Cooking healthy and delicious meals for people is crucial way to support them, bringing them joy as well as energy and satisfaction. It's a unique social skill that not everyone possesses, and who can resist a great cook?

Interior Design

Libra is a sign known for its love of creating peace and balance, and one way to subtly do this is by knowing how to design and arrange an interior space. As people who appreciate comfort and coziness, they know the importance of arranging a room properly, creating the right flow and sight lines and even using color and shapes to invite joy, warmth and openness.

Meditation

As much as Libra tends to be focused on everyone else on the time, it's just as critical for them to turn that attention inward and work on themselves. Meditation can become a soothing yet crucial tool for them, helping them to find their inner harmony when they're overwhelmed and process their feelings in a healthy and productive way. It can also teach them to (finally) prioritize themselves, and discover that they can help others more effectively if they're in a rested, positive state of mind themselves.
