There’s a lot to like about Libras: they’re balanced, flexible, social, and have their fair share of smarts. But more than all that, there’s just something undeniably attractive about a Libra. Maybe it’s their magnetic charm, or maybe the way they can connect with others so easily. It’s not all just scales and balance! Here are 7 reasons why Libras are among the hottest of the signs.

Things You Should Know

Libras are ruled by Venus, and are therefore romantically inclined.
Air signs like Libras are intelligent and have plenty of initiative.
Libras are emotionally in-tune and empathetic.

1

They're naturally good at romance.

They’re ruled by Venus, which gives them a flirtatious edge. Venus is the planet of love, and so all things sexy and flirty come naturally to this playful sign.^{[1]

5

They’ve got a great aesthetic.

Libras know what they’re about, and they know how to show it. Sure, personality is a huge factor in how hot someone is, but so is physical appearance. This doesn’t just mean natural beauty–confidence and style can mean just as much, if not more! Libras care about their appearance and are meticulous about their outward looks, which also means they love to shop and show off their good taste.^{[8]

As a cardinal sign, Libras know when to take charge. Cardinal signs are natural leaders, and know how to steer a situation.^{[9]

You have similar signs.

You might be compatible with them already. It takes two to tango, and it’s not all about the Libra. Tauruses are also ruled by Venus, and so the two signs together can make a formidable pair. Other air signs, like Aquarius, Gemini, or even another Libra, could also be a good match.^{[17]
X
Research source} Two people with similar moods and mindsets are often more appealing to each other.^{[18]

It's a case of opposites attract.

You might be different from them in a good way. While Libras might be cool and confident on the outside, the inside can be a different story. Their best romantic partners could be people who both challenge them and are there to support them in their wilder moments.^{[19]
