Almost everyone is aware of what their zodiac sign is; while some roll their eyes at their daily horoscopes, many relate their actions and decisions to these constellations. Zodiac signs and horoscopes have been popular for over 2,400 years, originating with the Babylonians who created their own versions of horoscopes. Now, millions of people compare their zodiac signs to see who they’re most compatible with, what their secret talents are, or what their future partner's sign is.
Every month has two zodiac signs assigned to it. A Libra is anyone born from September 23rd to October 22nd and a Scorpio is anyone born from October 23rd-November 22nd. A Libra is an air sign with scales as the symbol. This zodiac is typically described as charming, beautiful, and well-balanced. As evident by their symbol, Libras crave balance and an aesthetically pleasing environment. They like to bring balance and peace to any situation, compromising in any argument they happen to be a part of.
Libras have an idealistic personality; looking for the bright side of any situation and the best in any person. They will oftentimes be the most extroverted of their friend group, constantly surrounding themselves with new people to keep from getting bored. Typically, a Libra has a wild imagination making them excellent problem solvers.
With all of these positive personality traits, there does come negative ones as well. Libras want to make the right decisions and limit the amount of harm they can cause, so they may obsess over the pros and cons of the littlest of decisions. Sometimes, a Libra can be so self-absorbed, they begin to lose sight of the bigger picture when the inconveniences occur or their plan doesn't go the way they had planned.
A Scorpio is a water sign and is represented by a scorpion. Scorpios are described as brave and ambitious, constantly pushing limits and venturing out of the comfort zone at any chance they can get. They are usually loyal to their friends, family, and loved ones. Anyone who is a Scorpio usually treats their family with the utmost respect and kindness. A Scorpio's heart is their main guide in most situations, dedicating themselves to any situation or relationship. They are sometimes said to be competitive and fiercely independent.
Scorpios, while incredibly loyal and loving, are also easily jealous and occasionally possessive. They believe in revenge for others' wrongdoings against them. Control and dominance are incredibly important to this sign, and when either of those is questioned or taken from them they begin to build higher walls to keep people out in an effort to protect themselves. Expect the resentment and the silent treatment from some Scorpios if they perceive certain actions as a betrayal.
These signs are two of the most compatible signs. Their characteristics play off of each other and create a balanced relationship. Scorpios provide a sense of focus for a Libra, something the latter usually lacks. Libras, and their need for harmony, can provide a much-needed solution to a Scorpio's usually brooding personality. Both signs crave excitement and usually prefer a fast-paced lifestyle. When these two signs come together, they can solve mysteries and fix most problems. Scorpios are intense and dedicated while Libras are imaginative and resourceful; these traits combined can create a force to be reckoned with.
