Highly social, they tend to have many friend and are very popular and are the social butterflies or cool kids of the Zodiac. Ruled by Planet Venus, they appreciate love and romance and have an affinity with beauty, art and style and as Air Signs, this will be in the realm of ideas, concepts and logical reasoning. Being Cardinal Signs, Libras are leaders who initiate projects and motivate others.
