Libras are born at the start of the fall season between Sep. 23 and Oct. 22, and their zodiac symbol is set of scales, representing their commitment to balance and harmony in life, but that doesn’t mean their lives are always perfect. Curious about how to actually create a harmonious relationship with a Libra? Below, we’ve shared our biggest advice on the matter.
Be Straightforward and Kind
Generally, when it comes to relationships with Libra, what you see is what you get. They don’t play games and prefer straightforward and direct communication over playing hard to get. They also tend to take people’s words at face value, do don’t let teasing or meanness play into your flirtation, because they’re just bound to get their feelings hurt.

Be Prepared for Indecisiveness
One thing you should know about Libra is that they can be highly indecisive. They dislike making choices without thoughtful consideration, wanting to look into various possibilities and weigh all the pros and cons, even when that decision is something simple like picking which show to watch or what flavor or ice cream to order. When it comes to important decisions, give them plenty of time to think it over and prepared to be patient. For the less critical ones, we recommend leading with specific options instead of general questions like “Where do you want to eat?” to avoid a lot of wasted time and frustration.
Praise Their Thoughtfulness With People
Libras tend to have a way with people. They’re thoughtful and sweet, approaching difficult topics with a light touch and sensitivity that most others lack, and making others feel good in the process. They know how to boost people up and make them feel welcome and comfortable, and when you recognize this impressive skill, don’t forget to praise it. The sign often carries a lot of extra emotional weight, but this encouragement is bound to mean a lot—especially from their significant other.

Do What You Can to Keep the Peace
As the peace-makers of the zodiac, Libras are highly conflict-averse. They hate any kind of fighting and arguments, and even playful banter is likely to be a bit too heated for them to really enjoy. Their first instinct will be to resolve the situation, which can be a lot for Libra to handle, and in a relationship, they’re likely to just concede, giving up their own feelings and wants in order to avoid a disagreement. Be mindful of how arguments go and make sure they’re not just letting you win every time so they don’t have to deal with it.
Give Them Space for Time With Friends
When some people start dating, they mostly hang out with their partner and stop spending as much time with friends. Don’t except this to be the cast with sociable Libra. After all, they’re air signs known for recharging their social batteries by spending time in the company of their dearest friends, and they’re going to continue to do so, whether that includes you or not. You could ask them to stop hanging out with these people, and though they’ll likely agree (to avoid further arguments), they can wind up resenting the situation.
Don’t Afraid to Be Lovey-Dovey
Just because Libra doesn’t want to spend every waking moment with you doesn’t mean they’re not super loving and affectionate. In fact, they time you spend apart is going to make them appreciate your time together even more. They like to be doted on and pampered just as much as everyone else, and they’re especially fond of coziness and comfort. Show them some love whenever you can to remind them how much you care, and it’ll go a long way.

Embrace the Fun
Most often, Libras are bundles of sunshine. They’re fun, lighthearted and sweet with just about everyone, and as much as we love to see that kind of personality paired with a grumpy character in a romance novel, in real life, being a stick in the mud is just bound to bring them down. We’re all allowed our down days, but you can’t always cramp the fun and let negativity lead things. Instead, try to face things with the same positivity and optimism Libra brings, and you’re both going to have a much better time.
Treat Them Right (and Remind Them to Treat Themselves Right)
There’s a good chance you’ve already recognized that the Libra in your life can be a big people-pleaser. They’re incredibly giving and selfless, which can lead people to take advantage of Libras’ time and energy. Pay attention and try to do as much for your special Libra as they insist on doing for you. Step in when they’re doing too much, forsaking their own happiness for others, and encourage them to take breaks and let people handle their own issues. Try stepping into their shoes and go out on a limb for them as often as possible. They deserve the pampering and love!
