What month is a Libra birthday?
Libra in Astrology
Libra is the sign of harmony and relationship. The Sun in Libra is at the time of the Equinox, when day equals night, and similarly Libra strives for balance between polarities.
Librans are known for their good taste, elegance and charm. They are seekers of harmony and beauty. Their natural mode of living is in partnership with others. Intimate relationships are quite important to them, as are issues of social justice. Libras forever hope that all parties in a conflict will be satisfied, and they have a tendency to understand and support both sides of a dispute, which can drive their friends crazy unless they are smart enough to value the mediation that Libras naturally provide. Libras will go out of thier way to avoid a quarrel, and they may have a hard time making a decision.
Artistic pursuits of all kinds provide an outlet for Libras’ love of beauty. They benefit from strengthening their will to act in favor of their higher purpose, which ultimately lies in dedicating themselves to humanity at large.
Libra Horoscope for May 2023
This is a month , Libra, of finding your way through transformational storms and relationship adjustments. Pluto was prominent in the recent solar eclipse from last month that sets the stage for this one, affecting your self-expression and artistry as you seek new wrinkles on how you operate creatively. This is all happening in the light of an additional focus on.
Libra by Element and Mode
The element related to Libra is Air.
The Air element is the masculine or yang energy representing the breath or prana — the realm of ideas and archetypal associations that link the physical and non-physical world together. It corresponds to the Jungian typology of Thinking. All forms of relationship and thought fall within its purview. Air people tend to live in their heads, being logical and scientific, as well as curious about what is around them and detached in their outlook. They dream the world into being with their future-oriented conceptions. They choose all parties to a dispute rather than taking sides, and thus provide the social linkage that can join disparate groups to each other.
The mode of Libra is Cardinal.
Cardinal signs are outgoing, creative rather than passive, representing self-starters who make their will power known.
Ruling Planet of Libra
The ruling planet of Libra is Venus.
Venus is the planet of love and relationship. Venus is in-taking, rather than out-going (as represented by Mars), and rules the signs Libra and Taurus. Venus has its exaltation in Pisces, and is associated with aesthetics, beauty, refinement and romance. Its position in the chart indicates the area in which the give and take of love, affection and sensual pleasure will be expressed.

The 10 Fundamental Libra Traits and the Best Advice for Libras
Posted by Carrie Cabral | Jan 3, 2020 1:00:00 PM
Libra is an air sign, and Libras are known for the love of being around other people. Libras are incredibly cooperative and fair-minded, and are a sign that believes firmly in the power of social connection. Libras are some of the most interesting and clever people around, and they have a lot to offer. Below, we’ll talk about key Libra characteristics, how Libras relate to others, and advice for being a Libra and getting along with the Libra in your life.
What Is a Libra?
A Libra is a person born between September 23rd and October 22nd. Libras are known for being charming, beautiful, and well-balanced. They thrive on making things orderly and aesthetically pleasing. They also crave balance, and they can be equally as self-indulgent as they are generous.
Libras are also the kings and queens of compromise, and they like making peace between others. This makes them great leaders, friends, and partners, and they can apply these positive qualities to their personal and professional lives.
Libra Personality Traits
Libras are exciting people to be around. Of course, not all Libras are exactly the same, but these key traits of Libras are important to know if you are a Libra or want to know more about relating to them.
Positive Libra Personality Traits
Some of the best Libra traits are a sense of fairness and an outgoing nature. They’re part of why we love Libras.
Diplomatic
Libras are natural peacemakers and are experts at being tactful and diplomatic in their relationships and in groups. They choose their words carefully and aim to find common ground with as many people as possible.
Fair
Libras have a strong sense of justice. They want to make sure everyone gets heard, and are passionate about making sure that things are balanced, especially when it comes to group events.
Idealistic
Libras always prefer to look on the bright side. They see the best in all people in all situations. They have great intentions and think the best of people and ideas. They always have high hopes for starting new projects and learning new things.
Social
There are few signs more extroverted than Libras. Libras love being with people, and they love meeting new people, too. They thrive on companionship, and they surround themselves with interesting people that can introduce them to new things. Being social is one of the most fundamental elements of the Libra personality.
Clever
Libras are witty, smart, and excellent conversationalists. They have active imaginations and are quick on their feet, which makes them great company- and great problem solvers.
Negative Libra Personality Traits
Libras are all one of a kind, and these «negative» Libra traits are part of what makes them who they are. The negative Libra characteristics are all part of their love of balance.
Indecisive
Libras’ love of balance can get in their way. They’ll spend hours weighing the pros and cons of even the smallest decisions. They want to please everyone and have trouble committing to one thing or another, even if it seems inconsequential.
Non-Confrontational
Libras are peacemakers by nature. They are great at finding compromise within groups, whether it’s between friends or in business settings, but this means they also have trouble facing their problems and will put off difficult discussions for as long as they can.
Self-Pitying
One of the downfalls of the Libra is that they are a bit self-absorbed, so when things don’t go perfectly right for them, they feel as though the world is ending, and everyone is against them. They have trouble seeing the bigger picture in times of strife, and instead focus on themselves exclusively.
Unreliable
Libras are known for being flighty. While they are lots of fun to be around, they are not always the most reliable. Lots of Libras are wonderful and loyal friends, even though they may not show up to your dinner plans on time.
Vain
As we mentioned, Libras love beautiful things, including themselves. You may find a Libra taking selfies everywhere they go, or spending lots of time on pampering and appearances. They may be critical about how other people look or be reluctant to hang out with people who they think are less attractive.
Libra Traits in Relationships
We know that the Libra personality flourishes in social settings. Knowing more about what Libras need in specific relationships is important, since if Libras are being true Libras, they’re likely to have lots of relationships to keep track of.
Romantic
One of the most notorious Libra characteristics is their love of love. With their tendency to gravitate toward beauty and excitement, Libras get easily love drunk. However, while Libras will enjoy lots of flings and enjoy the company of romantic partners, they’re very serious when it comes to committed relationships. They choose carefully when it comes to life partners.
Platonic
You’re pretty much guaranteed to have a great time with a Libra. In addition to being lots of fun, Libras love to try new things and will help people in their lives become and stay open-minded. They’re dedicated to making sure people in their lives achieve balance too, and the Libra’s outgoing nature and idealism can rub off on their friends and family.
Professional
Leadership comes naturally to Libras, and as such they excel professionally when they’re allowed to let their leadership skills and creativity shine. Libras do best when left alone to develop projects. However, Libras don’t have the best follow-through, so it’s also important to make sure they’re surrounded by grounded people who are good at taking direction and getting things done.
Advice for Libras
#1: In your career, make sure you’re creating new challenges for yourself. As a Libra, you’ll need to change things up often, so to avoid looking flaky you can channel that energy into new ideas that benefit the whole group.
#2: Don’t hesitate to let your true colors show. Be the great and loyal friend that you are, and don’t waste time on people who judge you for your compassion and idealism.
#3: You gravitate toward manipulation when you’re bored, so always try to check yourself when you start to feel restless. Channel that energy into creative projects or volunteering.
#4: Be honest with yourself. Libras have trouble admitting their faults. Don’t think of these things as negatives, just a part of you that might need some extra attention. Make sure you know where you need to improve, because otherwise you might walk over people without meaning to, leading to some confrontation.
#5: Speaking of confrontation—address it calmly and early on. If you do have to confront someone, make sure you have your points laid out beforehand and you stick to them even when the conversation gets difficult.
Tips for Relating to a Libra
#1: Compliments are everything to a Libra personality. They’re extroverts, and showing outward signs of affection will help you win favor early in the relationship, and continue to help keep the spark alive.
#2: Don’t pick fights or be overly critical toward a Libra. Libras avoid confrontation, so it’s best to be open and upfront about things that are going on in the relationship and speak to a Libra as an equal.
#3: Let Libras take leadership roles. They’re very good at it, and don’t be put off by a Libra coming up with a thousand different ideas for group projects or activities. Help them pick one and stay grounded.
#4: Show that you know all about balance, too. Libras need to balance the scales in all things, and they need friends and partners that treat them like equals and know how to be poised and steady in all aspects of their lives.
#5: If you love art and other beautiful things, you’ll have no problem relating to a Libra sign. Trying new things together, especially if it’s things like exploring nature, seeing art galleries, or doing something creative together, can help you forge a bond with Libras.
Summary: Libra Traits
If you’re a Libra, you’re in good company. Serena Williams and Will Smith, for example, are classic Libra examples of balancing work ethic, fun, and creativity. Libras can thrive even more when they know themselves and are honest about who they are and what they need. Hopefully you’ll have a better idea of what it means to be a Libra, and learn how to be the best version of who you are.

Get ready, it’s Libra season
As the air starts to get chillier and the leaves start to turn orange, we are quickly reminded that summer is officially coming to an end. There is no better reminder of the changing seasons than the sun entering a new astrological sign.
On Sept. 23, the same day as the Fall Equinox, we officially enter a new chapter in our lives with the start of autumn and Libra season.
Libra, represented by the scales, will have us all re-evaluating what balance and harmony means in our day to day life. With Mercury still in retrograde until Oct. 2, difficulties with communication and boundaries, especially with friends and significant others, may arise. Be cautious of this, but be open to new beginnings. Libra marks the halfway point in our astrological year, so it is a good time to reflect on what is and isn’t working in your life.
Below is a short description of how Libra season will affect your sign placement. If you want to know what your sign is or more about your astrological birth chart, you can click here.
Aries
Aries, now is your time to rest and recharge which is contrary to your fast pace energy. You’ve been on the go, but burnout can be common. As we approach Mars going into Retrograde, it can be easy to over-book your calendar so be wary of this. It is important to take time for yourself and recharge. Start living more authentically to who you are and not necessarily what’s best for others. This time may also have you learning more about people in your life, perhaps a significant other, but don’t make any rash decisions when you discover new things about them.
The Beacon Aries: Ryan Reynolds, Andrew Gotshall, Netty Jurriaans
Taurus
Taurus, this is a chance to get organized. Start planning your day out more and getting into a routine. Take the time to really smooth all the bumps in the road. You may be feeling like you are taking too much on right now. Know you are worthy of help and taking care of yourself. If you find yourself to be in a slump on how to approach your life, take time to reflect on what makes you happy in your day to day life. What do you want to get out of your goals? This will give you the boost of productivity you’ve been needing.
The Beacon Tauruses: Emma Sells, Colby Wilson, Wilder Isom, Sophia Truempi, Sydney Gannon
Gemini
Gemini, you will have a revelation this month on what is important in your life. It could be that you are opening yourself up more to friends or a partner. Either way you are opening yourself up to a new way of life. It possibly could be a healing time for you. Listen to your intuition more. You may have to make big decisions, so it is important to listen to your body and mind.
The Beacon Geminis: Riley Martinez, Gavin Britton
Cancer
Cancer, your living space may need some revamping. Create a space where you feel safe and calm. It is important for you right now to recharge and gain energy to do the projects you want to do, so take time to throw out the stuff that isn’t serving you anymore. This time may lend itself to difficult family matters. It is important to lean on your family and loved ones. This difficult time is offering you a new perspective on life. Ultimately you will gain a lot out of this situation. Be careful with communication. Your words may come off too harsh or you may be on the receiving end and feel extra sensitive
The Beacon Cancers: Brie Haro, Ellie Black, Nancy Copic (Advisor)
Leo
Leo, the Libra energy that is in the air will have you focusing a lot on your relationships. You are trying to choose who you want to surround yourself with and honing in on who is or isn’t serving you purpose in life. This may lend itself to learning a lot about your communication style and how to get your point across effectively and efficiently. Sometime this month, you may be presented with contracts or something that will have you look at the fine line, take your time in any endeavor you are doing right now.
The Beacon Leos: Shruthi Vijukumar
Virgo
Virgo, we just moved out of your sun sign, so things may appear to be a bit clearer than they were previously. Things you put on the back burner or perhaps blind spots in your life may be coming to light now. You are going to have to reflect, especially when it comes to your inner-self. You are always critical of yourself, so try to approach your self-reflection with a bit more compassion. You may have some money coming in or your financial situation may become more stable, it’s a good time to budget or invest. Don’t be hasty in spending lavishly, but also treat yourself if you need it. You may also find yourself having uncomfortable conversations with someone or needing to set up more boundaries. If you find yourself burdening someone, it is time to step up and take accountability. Change is welcome during this time.
The Beacon Virgos: Michael Lang
Libra
Libra, Happy Birthday! Having the sun in your sign will always illuminate your inner-self and will help you reach your fullest potential. You may have wrapped up some loose ends these past couple weeks and now you are fully ready to take on a journey of self-discovery and changing things to better yourself. You will be reflecting a lot on the past, mainly about how you’ve changed and how you are currently changing as a person. It is a good time to try new things or find joy in the things in your life that have kept you happy and grounded. Follow the creative and inspiring spirit that fills the air for you.
The Beacon Libras: Kate Cuadrado, Lulu Heffernan, Janea Melido, Carlos Moreno-Vega
Scorpio
Scorpio, your life has been hectic or is busy right now. As the sun is approaching your sign, it may feel like everything is hitting you all at once. You’ve been occupied for the last few months, very on the go. It’s time to take a step back and think about the things you need to change in your life. This may be something as small as a bad habit or something more internal. If things are feeling incomplete, it’s okay. Be grounded in the fact that this is all a part of your journey to becoming a better you.
The Beacon Scorpios: Chiara Profenna
Sagittarius
Sagittarius, you are heavily assessing your life goals and projects right now. You are almost at the end of this marathon you’ve been on, but don’t feel the need to put unwanted pressure and stress to reach the finish line. Libra season may have you pushing yourself harder, but don’t forget to have fun. This is what will inspire you to keep working on your endeavors. You have lots of room for growth during this time, especially when it comes to communication which may present some difficulties with mercury in retrograde. However, you are finding it healing and fun to spend time with friends during this time.
The Beacon Sagittariuses: Tiffany Marquez-Escobar
Capricorn
Capricorn, you may have a spotlight on you during this time. It may be a leadership position or something that is forcing you to take up more responsibilities. Work on setting up boundaries with yourself and others as you are launched in this new direction of life. You may find yourself wanting to exercise control, but be hesitant in doing so. You don’t want to be stuck in the past and over controlling the situation may limit your growth. Catch your breath and focus on not letting your emotions get in the way.
The Beacon Capricorns: N/A
Aquarius
Aquarius, Libra season may have you daydreaming a lot, possibly fantasizing about new beginnings or a new life. If so, maybe it’s a sign that you need to step out of your comfort zone. You are a big thinker, and now is not the time to put yourself in a box. Take these dreams as a clue on what kind of energies and situations you want for your future. Emotions may be bubbling up, especially when it comes to relationships. You will ultimately find balance in these situations.
The Beacon Aquarians: Kimberly Cortez
Pisces
Pisces, you may find yourself wanting to be more of a homebody or be secluded from others during this time. This may stem from a want to get to know yourself better or answer some sort of looming question. However, don’t be afraid to lean into your inner circle. They are here to support you. You may want to seek guidance, possibly therapy, to help you get clarity on any deep thoughts you’ve been having. It is helpful to make your space more comforting and home-like.
