Strengths as a Couple
One of the foundational requirements for a strong and lasting relationship is a deep and mutual understanding for one another, and to that end, two Libras take their relationships very slowly.
If you happen to be in one of these Libra on Libra couples, don’t worry if it takes a while for your partner to open up. Ironically, caution is one of the few things Libra will ever throw to the wind as they delicately work out where their partner’s boundaries are.
This slow process also means there’s more time to bond and share important things. They’ll take a lot of mental notes for one another so their relationship can be much more effective later on.
Because of their nature as air elementals, and the fact that they’re of the same sign, it’s easy for the pair to lavish each other in love and gifts and everything that goes with it. This is where their slow and methodical approach to love and life help; their motions are considered and measured and will never really step out of bounds. Everything has been thought out and will seem as though every star in the sky was made to light up their partners’ eyes.
Weaknesses as a Couple
This low and slow approach to love is a double-edged sword sometimes, however. As it will also take time for their faults to be discovered and addressed. During this period of exploration and discovery for each other, it’s very easy for the Libra on Libra pairing to get caught up in the positives and ignore the negatives they see in each other.
Their “As it flies” attitude with one another almost guarantees that the worst aspects of the couple will take a considerably longer time to address, if at all. One slight might be noticed but subsequently forgiven or ignored because ‘I don’t want to make a fuss.’, and all of a sudden there is nothing but fuss in their relationship as they continually ignore each others’
Being of the same sign, they're practical mirrors for one another. While this may help alleviate their big issue of 'You need to see your flaws,' it will be a hindrance if they start relying on one another too much.
Codependency in itself won't be much of an issue, but it will become a hindrance if left unchecked. The Libra pair must realize that although they practically mirror each other in terms of ideas, strengths, and faults, that they are still individuals separate from one another, and therefore will never truly be the same person.
Compatibility
Romance
The Cardinal Air elementals are nothing if not patient and reserved. Their approach to romance is very similar, very methodical, and very routine. Not loveless, mind, but theirs is a romance of routine and regular expectations that is sometimes changed up by surprise or so.
The two Libras might end up having some trouble with the initiative as their sign is notoriously difficult at starting things.
Unlike couples of different signs, there’s nobody that will start something because of their nature, or prompt the Libra into a more active role therein. The hope is, then, that one of the pair picks up on their masculine energies to get the ball rolling for when the couple wants to get serious.
Thankfully once the ball gets rolling, it should be easy for the pair to keep things going at a steady pace. Like Air that blows around the world, the twin-Libra pair's watch-words are constancy and consistency. Given time, they’ll be fine.
Activities
Libras are infamous for two things: Being showboats and being indecisive.
The latter will pose the bulk of a Libra pair’s troubles as deciding on what they want to do with one another is one of the greatest challenges for them.
Not their fault, of course; for Air is fickle and changes at the drop of a hat. Give them the world as a menu and expect them to stumble for the choices.
What helps a Cardinal Air Pair along with establishing an activity setting is by presenting it as something familiar to them, and then getting them into the habit of doing that activity until it becomes routine and second nature to them.
Once they get familiar and comfortable with the activities, however, expect to see the latter half of Libra’s infamous streak to show. They like being flamboyant and extra with what they do.
Displays like it also indicate that they've got a genuine love for what is happening. Look for things that can spark this sort of investment in a Libra pairing, and you've got a quick ticket to a successful and fulfilling day ahead.
Communication
Air elementals tend to be quite smooth communicators and diplomats, and the Cardinal of Air is no different. The only sort of problem they'll be having with each other is if they start feeding into each other's egos too much.
If the Libra pair fails to communicate its wants and desires clearly to one another, it's a road to ruin right there.
Their air signs dictate that they should just live and let live and let bygones be bygones, but if they want to work as harmoniously as they should, then they must know when to make compromises and when to stand their ground. And once they figure that out, figure out a way to clearly communicate that desire from one person to the other.
The Libra pair demands respect first and foremost to keep the channels of communication open. If they have that, however, that line will constantly be abuzz with activity.
A lot of it will be focused around the world and the people that inhabit it. Their analytical eye will see faults in the world, including in their partner. The Libra pair must be aware of the power the words wield and take what they say with a grain of salt and some patience.
Values
It’s likely that the two Libras will have similar experiences with the world, and have similar ideas to each other. They’re of the same sign, thereby governed by Venus and Exalted by Saturn.
The sign is famous for being communicative and diplomatic in their approach with other people. However, behind closed doors, this line of communication may be more frayed than they make it out to be in public.
It’s not uncommon for Libras to be fiercely judgemental in private, and it is simply within their nature to point out the flaws of the being of their fellow men, but it’ll come to no surprise that this judgemental mindset and blunt honesty can strain a relationship. Hence why, if possible, these shouldn't be taken emotionally. On top of that, even if the words are harsh, the intention behind the Libra's words is one of self-improvement.
They know excess and moderation, and it is in moderation they invest a lot in. For a modest life to the rest of the world means more resources for the exaltation of love and life behind closed doors.
Emotions
Cardinals of Air are governed by Venus. So, of course, love is on their mind constantly. That's why they're such touchy-feely sorts when they're in a relationship.
The aspects of Venus in the old myths tell of a Venus of many loves, and Libra embodies all of it from the protective, to the sensual, to the deep and spiritual, hence their desire for spiritual closeness when the pair is together.
Opposite of this is the distant Saturn. Distant and cold and calculated, it gives the Individual Libra the edge they need to cut through the mires of life and people but usually becomes a hindrance when a pair of Libras end up together.
Intimacy is unsurprisingly one of their weaker points, at least initially. They’re ones that attach a lot of emotional meaning to their thoughts. They will defend them vigorously and stubbornly. They might be too attached to their ideas and people that mean a lot to them that they’ll throw the cold logic out the window.
To stay together, the Libra pair has to be capable of letting go of their emotional and worldly attachments elsewhere to focus on what matters in their relationship: each other.
Healing Crystals for Libra and Libra
Rose Quartz
Known to be a strong pairing, a relationship between Libra and Libra will almost always instantaneously click. Having the same preferences and sharing the same language, both will get the feeling that they are cut from the same cloth.
With two signs that are generally compatible, the only question that’s left is if they love each other enough. And while they are definitely a match, will this translate to the kind of relationship that we’re hoping for?
Of course, liking someone is different from loving someone. And in this case, their compatibility, which is practically off the charts, can easily be mistaken as love. While they are interested in their significant other, this doesn't automatically mean that they love each other.
After all, liking someone is a good starting point. After all, loving takes courage and understanding, things that aren’t fueled by mere interest and attraction.
With that, Rose Quartz is a perfect partner for this journey. Empowering couples and giving them that push in order to become better, this healing crystal will ensure that they are on the right track. By amplifying those feelings toward commitment and purpose, these two signs will have a reason to stay with each other.
Malachite
Although Libra is literally the best communicator among the zodiac signs, they don’t necessarily do well with relationships. Often confronted by the difficulty of expressing one’s emotions, this pair will occasionally run into problems where they end up blaming each other for faults and whatnot. Unable to resolve their lack of emotional balance, and external interference is necessary to appease the situation.
Known as a stone of balance and transformation, Malachite does extremely well in helping us handle our emotions. Absorbing energy and drawing out emotions to the surface, it exposes the real us in a way that’s not encroaching.
Such is especially helpful for couples that are seeking balance and expression, something that this green healing crystal can strongly contribute to.
Onyx
Although these two signs are known to have above-average compatibility, their misguided enthusiasm and eagerness make them prone to miscommunication and conflicts. Taking unnecessary detours due to their inability to match their wants and needs in a relationship, Libra and Libra will struggle even with the slightest of negativity around them.
With that, Onyx is definitely the perfect healing crystal for them. Known to be a powerful protection stone, Onyx wards off all the unwanted negative energies around us. Like an ancient totem that protects us from evil spirits, this healing crystal can block almost all sorts of negativity that can drain one’s personal energy.
On top of that, it also brings wise decision-making skills to inner self-discipline. Aiding in the cultivation of positive skills from the inside, its two-pronged approach is perfect for a holistic kind of development.
