Let me clarify - this is not something that I have just read online and thought "Oh, that's the way I am as a person? Good to know". Of course not, how silly would that be. I have picked out parts of different texts that I can relate to. This is the real me. Both the good and the bad.
About Libra
The first and foremost personality trait you will notice about a Libran is her politeness. She loves people and hates to be rude to anyone. The most striking thing about Libra's eyes is that they start smiling before it can be detected on her lips. And she knows that and often use it to her advantage! She is known for her charming and graceful ways among friends, relatives and even distant social circles. Since she often excludes an easy, light and fun aura she is stereotyped as the happy-go-lucky Libran. This is the reason why she makes a good hostesses. Libra has a gift for offering genuine compliments. She is tasteful and sophisticated, with an eye for quality, beauty and harmony in all things.
She is a social butterfly whose attempts at even harmless flirting can reap fantastic results. Although, this social perfectionist streak in Libra comes from the fact that she can't take criticism well. She ponder for days after being criticized and often hold it against people who fail to recongize her efforts.
She loathe cruelty, viciousness and vulgarity and detest conflict between people, so she often turns out to be the mediator who tries to cooperate and compromise with everyone around her. Libra is sensitive to the need of others and have the gift of understanding the emotional needs of others and meeting them with optimism.
Because she is so charming and eloquent, she is sometimes taken for being an air-brain. Anybody who falls into this trap is gravely mistaken. Librans, given their varied interests, are usually very well-read and have logical things to say on many different subjects. It's just that they are not very vocal about it. Libra also loves to argue, especially when someone passes general statements. A Libran can take both the sides of an argument by turns, and win at both. Infact, she can even switch sides in the middle of the argument!
Debate attracts her and she weighs both sides of the situation with total fairness. While she is arguing with you, she may smile every now and then. The best part is that she presents her case in such a tactful way that you don't feel offended at all. At the same time, she is not stubborn and easily changes her mind if she finds your arguments more logical and convincing.
She will never stick to a viewpoint just because its hers and your opinion will matter to her as much as her own. However, don't get impatient when a Libra is making up her mind. She hates impatience and it can make her extremely stubborn.
The negative sides of the Scales is to be flirtatious, changeable, indecisive, timid and impatient of routine. One thing in particular that ticks off a Libran is taking orders. You order her around and she will become the sulkiest person on this earth.
A Libran will be composed, balanced, lovable and courteous half of the time. In the other half, she will be irritable, inflexible, unhappy and mystified. She is always tipping to one side or the other, till the perfect balance is achieved. She is very delightful when her mind is in a balanced state.
One common quirk of Libra women is that of getting depressed easily. Partly this is because they genuinely feel the world should always be fair and beautiful, and the reality of course is that sometimes it just isn't. What others shrug off in this area a Libra sometimes just can't accept. This broken-hearted approach to life can be both endearing, or off-putting, depending on your viewpoint. It does create a unique and powerful counter point to her otherwise passionate approach to life.
Libran women are extremely cultured and tend to develop a leaning towards artistic and creative things in life. Usually they themselves take up and cultivate a particular art form. They are connoisseurs of paintings, dance forms, music and literature.
