Libra with Fire signs
The element of Air with Fire
This can be a relationship with lots of laughter, fun and big ideas. It’s great for a couple involved in politics or education, but when it comes to running the house– will you both ever get anything done? Fire can teach Air to think big and to be more enthusiastic, while Air can encourage Fire to stop and think before embarking on a course of action.
Compatibility | LIBRA | with | ARIES |
Element | Air | Fire | |
Planet | Venus | Mars | |
Quality | Cardinal | Cardinal |
These two signs are located exactly opposite each other in the zodiac and accordingly to the laws of magnetism – opposites attract. The fiery, impetuous Aries is drawn towards the charming, diplomatic Libra. The Mars and Venus combination means that there is plenty of physical sparks flying between the two. There is also a great deal that they can learn from each other: Aries teaches Libra to stand up for themselves, while Libra instructs Aries in the art of seeing things from another’s point of view. The challenge comes from Aries pushing Libra to make all the compromises in the relationship – to which Libra is willing, up to a point. Generally, this combination works somewhat better when the man is Aries and the woman is Libra, as they tend to fit more easily into the conventional roles assigned to the signs.

There may be a need to temper expenses, as both signs love the beautiful things in life. Leo can teach variable Libra to stay fixed on a path and Libra can show Leo how to be less authoritarian and to play fair. On the whole, this relationship will be one full of warmth, love and tons of romance.

There is likely to be a great deal of laughter and good times together for this popular couple.
Libra with Earth signs
The element of Air with Earth
While Earth may consider that Air is too heady and impractical and Air can view Earth as materialistic and unprincipled, this cool, dry combination does have its upside. Neither of you gets angry or ruffled without good reason and there is the potential for much humour and light-hearted banter between you. If you put your heads together, you can come up with lots of practical ideas, both for having fun and for making the world a better place.
Compatibility | LIBRA | with | TAURUS |
Element | Air | Earth | |
Planet | Venus | Venus | |
Quality | Cardinal | Fixed |
Both of these signs are ruled by Venus, which is the planet of beauty, love and romance. The planet is also concerned with pleasures, luxuries and the finer things in life, so both Taurus and Libra can set up a wonderfully appointed home together. With so much in common what could go wrong? Well, Taurus is bull-like in its stubbornness, whereas Libra is much more obliging and will tend to give in to the other’s demands. Over time, if Taurus doesn’t give back something Libra might get disillusioned. Also, there may be clashes over different tastes in styles; Taurus opting for more opulence. Venus in Earth is a lot more sensuous and earthy than Libra, which has Venus in Air, which is a more intellectual and romanticised energy. Your common love of peace and harmony combined with Libra’s skills in diplomacy should help to make you a popular couple.
Compatibility | LIBRA | with | VIRGO |
Element | Air | Earth | |
Planet | Venus | Mercury | |
Quality | Cardinal | Mutable |
Though these two signs have things in common there are some major differences as well. While Libra will go to considerable lengths to avoid criticism, Virgo does not hesitate to express their dissatisfaction if things are not perfect. Librans avoid judging others, while Virgo is intolerant of what it sees as illogical thinking. Libra is a true romantic at heart and Virgo, though earthy in the physical expression of love, can seem somewhat detached emotionally at other times. One of the most positive aspect of this relationship is that both are perfectionists and love order in their surroundings.
Compatibility | LIBRA | with | CAPRICORN |
Element | Air | Earth | |
Planet | Venus | Saturn | |
Quality | Cardinal | Cardinal |
It is said that Capricorns know how to make money and Librans show them how to spend it! Libra loves the finer things in life and Capricorn, though serious minded, also likes things that are of lasting beauty. Their styles will be complementary as Libra goes for elegance and Capricorn for timeless classics. Both are cardinal signs and therefore, ambitious and always on the look out to improve themselves. With Capricorn’s knack of finding the best deals and Libra’s tremendous charm, this couple is likely to be successful in business ventures. The only challenge that they’ll face is that Libra needs romance and demonstrations of love, which don’t come easily to Capricorn. If Capricorn can lighten up and learn to let go and have fun, this will be a strong and stable relationship.
Libra with Air signs
Same element signs
Normally each sign gets along easily with the other signs in the same element. So Libra will have a great deal in common with Gemini and Aquarius. However, ease is not necessarily a good thing. One of the secrets of a successful relationship is to have enough in common, but enough that is different.
The element of Air with Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Two-way communication is essential for the rational, cool and civilized Air type. This means that the relationship itself is of prime importance, because there is a need to have someone to communicate with. You both are probably great at communicating – not necessarily deep, soul-searching conversation, but good everyday, easy exchanges. Yours is likely to be a civilised relationship, with few arguments and many mutual interests and friends. However, don’t overdo the avoiding of difficult issues – it’s not comfortable having one’s head in a paper bag. A good argument can clear the air and create greater intimacy.
Compatibility | LIBRA | with | GEMINI |
Element | Air | Air | |
Planet | Venus | Mercury | |
Quality | Cardinal | Mutable |
These two have a great deal in common. Gemini loves to communicate and Libra hates to be alone. Both being Air signs, they have excellent mental rapport and will appreciate each other’s intelligence and thoughts. Gemini finds Libra charming and Libra is amused by Gemini’s ready wit. Librans are inspired by Geminis’ creativity, while teaching them a great deal about sharing and giving. There could be some difficulty in coming to a decision as both are aware of the numerous possibilities, but at least they will enjoy the process of talking about it!
Compatibility | LIBRA | with | LIBRA |
Element | Air | Air | |
Planet | Venus | Venus | |
Quality | Cardinal | Cardinal |
There is an easygoing, gentleness about this couple. They are both extremely considerate, agreeable and will go to considerable lengths to avoid discord in a relationship. Librans are incredibly romantic and two Librans together will make certain that there are plenty of flowers, presents and candlelit dinners for two. Their home will be stylishly furnished and their social life packed full with invitations. However, they need to watch out for indecisiveness and to make sure that they complete the projects that they start.
Compatibility | LIBRA | with | AQUARIUS |
Element | Air | Air | |
Planet | Venus | Saturn and Uranus | |
Quality | Cardinal | Fixed |
Libra will love the inventive and unorthodox Aquarius, while Aquarius is drawn to the diplomatic and charming Libra. Both are interested in love, though for Libra it is personal love that matters and for Aquarius, a love of humanity. Neither of these signs will make impossible demands on the other. Since both are Air signs they will never be short of topics for conversation and their communication is likely to be enthusiastic, lively and full of laughter. For this relationship to work on a romantic level Libra has to allow Aquarius freedom to explore all that is new and also be prepared to use tact when at times Aquarius becomes aloof or unpredictable.
Libra with Water signs
The element of Air with Water
Air may view Water as illogical and irrational and Water may see Air as overly cool and rational. Air likes everything to be discussed while Water tends to think that some things are so obvious they don’t need explaining. What the two of you have in common is an interest in people and in what makes them tick; examining your motives and those of others may be what keeps you two awake at night.
Compatibility | LIBRA | with | CANCER |
Element | Air | Water | |
Planet | Venus | Moon | |
Quality | Cardinal | Cardinal |
Personal relationships are important to both these signs, each being willing to go to considerable lengths to ensure that harmony is maintained. There are differences in how they go about things, though. Libra likes communication and conversation while Cancer works more intuitively. Being Cardinal signs both are ambitious and supportive of each other’s dreams. On a romantic level, the Moon-Venus is an exciting and passionate combination. The relationship tends to run somewhat more smoothly when the man is Cancer and the woman is Libra, rather than the other way around.
Compatibility | LIBRA | with | SCORPIO |
Element | Air | Water | |
Planet | Venus | Mars and Pluto | |
Quality | Cardinal | Fixed |
There is mutual attraction between romantic Libra and passionate Scorpio. Both signs give personal relationships a high priority in their lives. Some challenges arise out of Libra’s naturally flirty nature, causing Scorpio to become jealous and by Scorpio’s intensity of feeling, which might be too much to handle for the light and airy sign. Libra’s approach to life tends to be moderate and balanced, while Scorpio can periodically become intensely focused when pursuing some interest. Libra learns to complete projects from Scorpio’s incredible staying power, while Scorpio gets inspiration towards a more balanced life from Libra.
Compatibility | LIBRA | with | PISCES |
Element | Air | Water | |
Planet | Venus | Jupiter and Neptune | |
Quality | Cardinal | Mutable |
Peace-loving Libra and dreamy Pisces find that they have a great deal in common. Both are interested in maintaining harmony, romance and beauty around them. When reality becomes ugly or unpleasant both signs are likely to shut their eyes to avoid facing it. Over time, however, some differences will emerge. Libra loves lively, stimulating conversations and Pisces, though a good listener, might be a little vague in responding, as it prefers to take its time to ponder things before offering an opinion. Libra, who lives more on a mental plane, may find it uncomfortable if Pisces turns on the tears. Both signs are kind hearted, but for Libra the issues that matter are to do with justice and fairness, while for Pisces, it is to do with understanding, forgiveness and compassion.
