Susan Miller's Zodiac Love Guide: Libra

A beautiful love is something we all long for. In the pursuit of love, have you ever fallen short for any number of reasons? Or faced so many hurdles that you ultimately missed out on the one you wanted? If you’re still searching without a clear sense of direction, consider the guidance of renowned astrologer Susan Miller—you may find it very helpful. This article is a love guide specifically for Libra men and women.

Libra Man: September 23 - October 22

Libra men thrive in partnerships; rather than go it alone, they prefer marriage (or living together). They work hard to make their duo stronger and happier. Fairness matters deeply to them—you may hear him say, “That’s not fair,” and no one has quite convinced him that life often isn’t. Libra men are committed to balance, and want their choices and plans to feel just and equitable. In an argument, your Libra partner will state his position and look for a solution quickly—he won’t rehash old issues, poke at old wounds, or resort to sarcasm. Compared with people who play dirty, Libra men are gracious and refined. He expects the same from you. Your Libra man is also highly social. He doesn’t need coaxing to attend or host parties—he’s often the host, and he’s great at it. Libra men seem to know everyone, so you’ll almost always spot a few familiar faces in the crowd.

Challenges Presented by the Libra Man

Libra men have wide circles of friends and can sometimes be a bit self-involved, which can make it hard to find your footing early on. Once he’s committed, he’s very loyal. Until then, as an air sign, he can flutter about like a butterfly—hard to pin down. Start by catching his eye with understated sophistication and charm, and show him you’re a partner worth his time.

How to Win the Heart of a Libra Man

Libra men are sensual and savor the dance of seduction; they rarely rush. They elevate many parts of life into an art form and take time to tend to a partner’s physical and emotional needs. They’re visually oriented and appreciate elegance. (Libra is all about elegance, so avoid anything clumsy or garish.) When the moment feels right, choose refined jewelry—beautiful earrings or a graceful necklace—and delicate lingerie with an effortless feel.

Gift-Giving Tips

Libra is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love and the arts, making music especially meaningful to them. A quality home sound system is a great idea. Buying a good stereo or a CD changer for his car is an easy way to make sure he thinks of you whenever he’s in a great mood.

Here’s a charming idea for a Libra: plan a little countryside escape and stock the glove compartment with his favorite music. Don’t forget a picnic basket filled with delicious food (Libra men love good meals). Once you’ve found a quiet spot and parked, turn up the music and steal a few kisses—before you know it, you’ll be laughing together in the back seat like two high school sweethearts. Doing this in his BMW or Lexus is extra cute (many Libra men are lawyers, so they often have nice cars). Afterward, suggest an outdoor movie, but don’t get too playful—let him focus on the film. Libra men appreciate thoughtfully planned dates. On the ride home, spoil him a little, but let the seatbelt keep things playful and just out of reach—don’t let him get too handsy. Once you’re home, he’ll be ready to relive a wonderful day with you.

Libra Woman: September 23 - October 22

Libra women keep full social calendars, and being with a beloved partner makes them happiest. But don’t be fooled by their playful air—what they truly want is marriage. Once married, they’re as devoted to their relationship as they are to their careers.

They have an instinct for chic. They love mixing styles, combining contemporary pieces with a hint of vintage. The result is a look that’s stylish and sexy, but never sloppy. Under Venus’s influence, their beauty is carefully curated. Their taste matches their eye for aesthetics, and they rarely head out without a captivating fragrance. Their figures tend to be slim, curvy, and unmistakably feminine—hard to resist. The most notable trait of your Libra love is her effortless elegance; it’s evident in every word and gesture—she’s like poetry in motion.

Challenges Presented by the Libra Woman

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to win her heart. That’s no small feat—there’s usually a long line of admirers. She has no shortage of options, so prepare for real competition.

How to Win the Heart of a Libra Woman

She has a powerful gift of persuasion, and her partners don’t always realize how she gets her way—only that she pulls it off with charm. Don’t let her gentle manner lull you; even if she protests, she secretly appreciates a man who can occasionally challenge her. But if you’re only half-awake most of the time, you have zero chance of winning her over.

Gift-Giving Tips

Picture an angel from an early painting, holding a rose or a lovely harp and gliding through the air—that’s how to imagine your angelic Libra. She loves all things decorative, from romantic roses and soft silk lingerie in muted tones to modern perfumes or delicate floral scents (avoid anything jarring). Jewelry is one of a Libra woman’s favorite gifts—but it needs to be real. Faux jewels lose their magic, and if you give her those, your relationship may feel the same. To meet her standards, you might jokingly think a bank heist is in order. She may also adore a beautiful mirror, especially one framed in gold leaf. And hold on—don’t get any wild ideas. Not every Libra woman enjoys getting frisky in front of a mirror. Venus has blessed her with curves, and she might feel a bit self-conscious about them (silly, we know). Hang the mirror and let her warm up to it, while you keep reminding her how enchanting she looks when she’s bare.

Libra women prefer a gentle approach, and they’re excellent kissers. If you haven’t discovered this side of her, you’re missing out on one of life’s great pleasures. Set up a cozy moment for some old-fashioned necking—say, at a movie theater—where no one will mind if you two act like playful kids. If you’re “lucky,” an usher might even shine a flashlight on you!

When you finally get her into bed, she’ll want you to take things slowly. Libra women won’t marry someone who’s cold and unresponsive—or so eager that he rushes past the romance. She is highly romantic and sensitive, so meet her with the same tenderness. Her bed is often piled with fluffy pillows and the prettiest bedding she can afford. She loves a little music before slipping under the covers, but absolutely no television (too crass—who wants to hear congressional budget proposals or murder cases in Queens when passion is in the air?).

One last note: Libra rules the lower back, so when her partner massages that area with a lightly scented lotion, she’ll let out soft, catlike purrs. Meow!
