Libra compatibility
Libra is a Cardinal Air sign ruled by Venus. It shares its element with Gemini and Aquarius (trine), a compatible element with Leo and Sagittarius (sextile), and its Cardinal modality with Cancer and Capricorn (square) and Aries (opposition).
Who is Libra compatible with? By element, the easiest matches are the other air signs, Gemini and Aquarius, which form trines with Libra and share its love of conversation and ideas. Leo and Sagittarius sit in a sextile, fire signs that air naturally feeds, so cooperation comes easily once both make an effort. Aries, the opposite sign, can pull hardest of all, a mirror of independence held against partnership. Cancer and Capricorn, the squares, share Libra's cardinal drive and bring friction that can also bind. Virgo and Scorpio are neighbours, and Taurus and Pisces form quincunxes that ask for steady adjustment. Another Libra brings easy understanding.

Past the Sun sign
A Sun sign sets the angle between two people. The rest lives in two whole charts: Venus and Mars, the Moon, Mercury and the houses.
