Do you always have the right words and know how to make others feel comfortable?
Then you might be a Libra! These Sun Sign babies are born between September 23rd and October 22nd.
The symbol associated with your sign is the scales of balance.
These scales represent the balance that you continually seek in your self and your life. Some of you do seek perfection, which can be maddening to those who are close to you. (didn’t anyone tell you that there is no such thing as human perfection?)
My father was a Libra. This need for balance.. and yes perfection describes him perfectly. During his life his biggest challenge was allowing himself and others to make mistakes. Now imagine you are a child in this household. I learned early on to keep a low profile rather than disappoint my father.
Lets get down to more detail about these Libras in our life.
[tweet_box design=”default” float=”none”]Libras hate to feel like they have upset or offended anyone.[/tweet_box]
Libras
-
love having a partner. It is rare to find a Libra that relishes being alone for any period of time.
-
are a great team player.
-
have a strong sense of justice and fair play
-
are charming and tactful
Libras sound terrific.. except for these tendencies (not always in play of course) You can be
-
laid-back.. taking things easy to avoid stress
-
detached. A normally strong Libra can be unnaturally pleasant to keep from displeasing someone.
-
Indecisive. Making decisions can be difficult
You lucky Libra’s have OPAL and JADE to represent your sun sign.

Opal has a luminescent quality that distinguishes it from any pretenders. Did you know that opal usually contains 5-10% water? The combination of hardened silica gel and water create the ‘opalescence’

Jade has been used for centuries in hardstone carvings. Gorgeous artifacts from China and India in particular feature jade.
Jade is a protective stone, said to protect the wearer from harm and to attract good luck and friendship.
HUG A LIBRA TODAY!

Jealous that Libra’s get Jade! That’s OK, as a May baby I get emerald. Not sure what my sign, Gemini, gets, though. Fun post!
Thanks Rebs. emerald is nothing to sneeze at for sure. Lucky you!
Libra’s have pretty stones. I have a pearl and it’s not my favorite. Thanks for sharing the characteristics of Libras.
Thanks Sabrina. Agree about the gems for Libras!
Well don’t the Libra’s get lucky. I am a LEO so I will have be happy with what I get but darn it.
So funny Renee! I am sure Leo’s have neat gems too
One of my sons is a Libra and he really does have all the right words and knows how to make people feel comfortable. I really love Jade – one of my favourite stones. I’m a Virgo, but it doesn’t stop me wearing Jade.
Thanks Tamuria. You can still wear jade no matter what. I say..if you like it, wear it!
Oh oh oh… are you going to do one for Scorpio? That’s me.. next month, yay!
Thanks Kristen. Yes to Scorpio and Saggitarius(my sign)
I love Jade! My grandmother was a Libra. Maybe that makes me Libra-adjacent?
Libra-adjacent LOVE IT! Makes sense to me.
I just love Libras, and yep, they’re just as you describe. Many of my friends are born under the sign, and you’ve given me some great gift ideas. LOVE the jade ring!
Thanks so much Susan. Glad to be of Help? The ring is one of my favorites too
Love that you are doing the sun signs. We were doing complete Zodiac charts & could not get to every month. People love the birthstone blogs.
thanks Roslyn. Yes I can imagine the complete zodiac chart would be time consuming. These posts give people an overview and I think they are fun to read too.
Hello,
Great Post and I am a Libra . I love the stones and appreciate this page directly to the sign of Libra. Thank You for sharing.
Lori English
thanks so much Lori. Glad to see a Libra can relate to the characteristics!
Jade is so pretty too, what is a Capricorn? It’s a red stone I believe. Garnet?
thanks Sonya. I know that garnet is the birthstone for January (which would be a Capricorn sun sign) not sure about the stones but will be sure to post something!
Well, aren’t Libras the special ones? LOL. I appreciate how you explain the signs and the jewelry meanings. I like jade as a protection stone. Love your posts, Alene! Thanks so much. I always learn something new from your posts.
Thanks for the kind words Tandy. I do love exploring the gems and all things related
I am an equal opportunity gem lover – regardless of sun sign. I have to admit, I absolutely love the aqua opals. Although legend has it that they are unlucky…. but I’d still wear it. Great post – can’t wait to see what your other posts are!
Love your equal opportunity comment? I think that if you are drawn to a particular gem or design, then it is lucky for you..and that’s all that matters!
Beautiful! Jade is not my favorite stone, but I’m not Libra, so I guess I’m alright. Those pieces are lovely, tho!
Thanks Kimberly. Stay tuned for other zodiac posts. Then we can see if your sign has a gem you love!
Love the facts about Libras. I have a new daughter-in-law who is a Libra. Hadn’t thought about “her sign”, so timing is perfect!
Thanks Robin. Glad I gave you some gift ideas ?
What interesting information! One of my students was just expressing her disappointment with the new astrology changes, as she is now a libra! I shared this with her! What great qualities!
Thanks so much Erin. Glad this helped?
My youngest brother is a Libra and he is a fun, outgoing, loyal, faithful person. He was also very reckless as a youngster (from my older sister perspective). I love opal – I have several – but don’t have any jade. I need to fix that.
Thanks so much for sharing about your Libra brother. Jade would look great with your red hair!
I love this! Thank you. My mom and my boyfriend are both Libras and both HATE making decisions! LOL. I think maybe I know what to get my mom for her birthday, now. 🙂
Thanks Mindy. Glad to help with gift ideas ?
Hi Alene!
Another great post! Love the jewelry pieces 🙂 Not a Libra here, a Taurus (birthday April 29) So interesting about the sign of Libra, thanks so much for sharing!!
Appreciate it Joan. I will get around to doing all the zodiac signs so stay tuned for Taurus!
That is interesting that Jade represents Libra. Jade is a lucky charm for the Chinese. I think even those which are not born as a Libra uses jade. Actually my geomancer friend recommended it to me as green is supposed to be my lucky color being a Wood Dragon.
Thanks Lorii. Sounds like green is your lucky color for sure. Jade is a beautiful and ancient gem
I find it so interesting to learn about the stones associated with their birth month. This is awesome that opeals get their opalescence quality from water. I have never heard about this before. As they say, learn something new every day.
thanks Joyce. That fact was new to me too. Opals are so special!
Awww I am jealous, I hope you will do one for Taurus next year too! I have a friend who is Libra and her character trait is exactly as described above.
thanks so much Apolline. Yes I will do Taurus for sure!
And I thought opal was one of my gemstones. Lovely post.
thanks Denyse. It might be for your birth month? when were you born? These are for the Zodiac and of course there are several schools of thought on which gem goes with which zodiac!
Both my mom and mother-in-law were Libra’s. I loved opals and enjoyed wearing until I heard that one should never wear an opal unless you were actually born under Libra’s sign. I never heard of jade being associated with Libras and found the info on this post very interesting. As a Gemini, I can’t make up my mind which stone I like better (LOL)
thanks so much Kathy. Interesting about not wearing opal unless you are a libra. What about those October babies that are not Libras! Guess it all comes down to what we love to wear, right?
Am not much into following things about signs, so this was a good way to get to know more about the Libra and the typical traits etc.
thanks Katarina. appreciate it!
I love opals. I’m not even sure if I have any opals. If so, they are a side gem that brings out another one. Jade isn’t “lively” enough for me, if that’s not too strange to say!
Makes perfect sense to me Jackie. You must not be drawn to the deeper earthtone colors. DO you like all the brighter gems?
