Libra traits: The best and worst characteristics if you have a Libra star sign
LIBRA is the seventh astrological sign and is the only zodiac sign that is represented by an object.
The Sun transits this sign on average between September 23 (September equinox) and October 23.
Traits of a Libra
Libra's sign is scales - which is fitting as Librans are fascinated by both symmetry and balance.
Libras are flirty by nature. They are intelligent, which charms others and makes them good company to others.
With complete intolerance for chaos and mess - Libras are often perfectionists, who thrive off order and balance.
As they are ruled by Venus, they are like magpies and have an eye for expensive and beautiful things.

Libra turn ons
Intelligence is a massive turn-on for Libras as they love to be able to analyse situations and talk about everything in the world with more detail than most.
As well as intelligent communication, flirting and finding someone who can be verbally romantic with their chat is key.
Attentiveness, humour and cleverness can win a Libra over big-time.
Libras have a great eye for all things beautiful in the world and love good aesthetics that are pleasing and harmonious.
Libras are ruled by Venus and are very visual as a result. If you see something you like in a catalogue it won't be long before it is purchased.
Libra turn offs
Conflict - You would likely burst into tears if someone shouted at you from close proximity.
You are diplomatic and tactful and see that as the ideal strategy to deal with any issues that arise.
Anyone with a temper is immediately less in your estimation.
Pushiness - You love to procrastinate and being pushed into a decision will never go down well with you.
You work on your own clock and want to make sure every decision you make has been thought about in depth.
