4 Zodiac Signs That Make The Best Libra Soulmates

In a world of fanatics, extremists, zealots, and toxic partisanship that often borders on the psychotic, Libra manages the miracle of maintaining an open mind and a sense of objectivity. In a climate where everyone else seems hell-bent on fighting until the bloody end, only the Scales seek to negotiate, bargain, settle differences, and find common ground. In a world where you can’t hear what anyone’s saying because they’re all screeching at the top of their lungs, Libra is like a combination Zen master/music teacher who somehow finds a way to get everyone to harmonize whether they like it or not.

Libra is good at sanding the rough edges off other signs, and the other signs are good at providing a little fun, excitement, and adventure for the sometimes-overcautious Libra, who needs someone who can tip the Scales off-balance every once in a while.

Here are the four signs most likely to form a lasting romantic relationship with Libra. The list starts off with the other two air signs and ends with two fire signs. Libras are least compatible with Earth and water signs.

1. Gemini

At the risk of stepping on all 20 of the Twins’ toes, I’m going to be frank: The main problem with Gemini is that you never know which Gemini will wake up next to you in the morning. Will it be the one wearing the Comedy mask or the one wearing the Tragedy mask? This is where Libra comes in: The Scales are there to balance the Twins’ dual personalities. Libra can reconcile the darkness and light, the hot and cold, the happy and sad within Gemini like no other sign is able, or even willing, to do. In turn, Gemini, as the master communicator of the zodiac and a hyper-social sign that just wants to have fun, is able to drag Libra out onto the dance floor, or onto a speedboat, or into a dark forest at midnight under a full moon when all you can hear are crickets chirping. They perfectly complement one another, which is what makes them such perfect soulmates.

2. Aquarius

Aquarius is naturally clever, creative, adept at multitasking, and above all, eminently judicious. When they meet with a Libra, it’s a like a two-person Fairness Convention. Both signs are concerned with justice. They are both so fundamentally decent that neither one ever needs to fret about infidelity, dishonesty, or having to figure out what the other one really means by what they say. Neither one of them has to keep their passwords or email out of the other’s sight. It’s all a done deal without even having to sign the papers. Everything is tranquil between Libra and Aquarius.

3. Sagittarius 

Fire cannot exist without air—put a lid on a burning jar candle if you don’t believe me—but air can get along just fine without fire, so Libra will be in charge here. Sagittarius is a fire sign ruled by Jupiter, so they like to push things. But they are also a mutable sign, so unlike other signs that will not be named (hint: it starts with an “L” and ends with an “eo”), they are at least willing to listen. Sagittarius will take the normally cautious Libra out to the ends of the galaxy—and Libra will find this fun and even thrilling—but Libra will let the Archer know when they’ve gone too far and need to rein it in a bit. It’s the combo of Sag’s frisky adventurousness and Leo’s love for beauty that make their bed as hot as a breakfast skillet.

4. Aries 

Ambitious, impetuous, bold, honest, brave, and optimistic, Aries is ruled by the warrior planet Mars. Civil, impartial, honorable and friendly, Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty. Libra will be drawn by Aries’s alpha nature. Aries will be attracted to Libra’s charm and elegance. This combo of fire and air, of aggressiveness and balance, of impetuousness and discretion, can make for passion, or it could make for volatility. As always, it’s up to Libra to find and maintain the balance. Both Aries and Libra are cardinal signs, so they make things happen. But especially when it comes to the boudoir, they don’t even need to try to make things happen. It all comes naturally.
