In an astrological chart, the planet Venus is associated with how a person expresses their self in their relationships- especially in love, attraction and marriage. It describes how beauty is appreciated and interpreted by the person and also how they relate to others. The sign of the Venus is often the same as the Sun since they can never be more than forty five degrees from each other. In the cases when the signs are identical, the behavior the person has towards people in general translates into their romantic life. If the signs are different, there is a disparity between how they treat people in general and how they treat people they are romantically involved with.

Those born with their Venus in Libra have keen intuition and perception into others but these can be washed away by romance. They are true romantics at heart and can choose it over reasoning easily. It is so easy for them to fall in love, in fact, that they do it often, early and not always with the best person for them. Very sociable, they are upset by disagreements and try to avoid them. Thus when they choose the wrong person, it can be a long path to figuring out how to get out of that situation. Libras are not good at leaving others behind and will often stick out less than ideal relationships until their partner finally walks away.

They are charming, nurturing people who make others comfortable and at ease in their presence. Extremely seductive, that side expresses itself subtly and attracts the attention of many potential partners. They would never be lewd, keeping their manners and appearance well managed. Their ability to read other people allows them to react nearly perfectly to the hidden desires and wants of potential mates. It can seem as if they are reading their partner's mind. But in reality they are trying to stay a step ahead in the game so that they can anticipate any rough patches and smooth them before they actually begin to occur.

They need harmony in their relationships. Conflict makes them upset and can create physiological symptoms of nervousness. Their sensitive feelings are easily wounded but they won't try to get revenge and will be forgiving. They need that harmony in their lives so desperately that they will be willing to go to great lengths of self sacrifice to maintain it. Marriage greatly appeals to these people as it implies a lifelong companionship. They want companionship and to have someone around that they can please.

Their devotion to their partner can come at the expense of their personal identity as they are willing to do nearly anything to keep them happy and involved in the relationship. It is important that they find a partner who will not take advantage of all of this generosity and will stop the Libra from draining themselves dry in the name of the relationship. A partner that can meet them halfway and prevent a burnout will have themselves a staunch ally for life.
