β Venus in Libra personality
In a nutshell, the Venus in Libra native seeks to bring things together. Ruled by Venus, the nature of this sign is to unite, hence the association with love and relationships.
Venus in Libra natives need harmony in their relationships. They are complimentary, communicative, fascinating and fair. They seek to meet halfway and do things as a team. They attract others who seek equality in a partnership.
Venus in Libra is often seen as a pink and fluffy sign, but this is not the full truth. Libra is the sign of the scales and the first day of Libra season falls on the equinox, when the days and nights are of equal length. This is where the symbol of balance comes from.
There is a dark and a light side to Libra. Venus Aphrodite, Isis and other "love" goddesses used to also be goddesses of war.
Many of the deities associated with Libra are deities of justice, like Ma'at the Egyptian guardian to the underworld who judges the weight of a heart to see if the souls deserve to go to the good place or the bad, and Athena, the righteous Greek goddess who sees everything with a detached and judgmental eye.
This points to another trait of Venus in Libra: they demand fairness in all their relationships. They abhor selfishness, as this is the antitheses of Venusian generosity and connection.
Being lied to, betrayed or taken advantage of is the end of all things pink, fluffy and heart shaped for a Venus in Libra native. You will see they have a hard side and can cut someone off without a second chance. They can be your best friend and your lover, or your judge, jury and executioner.
Both Venus and Libra rule art and aesthetics. Typically a Venus in Libra is adept at these things and has impeccable taste. They can create beauty out of just about anything, but they do prefer the finer things.
Because of this, Venus in Libras cannot stand bad manners. Politeness is the name of the game for these charming souls and they appreciate if their people can hold their own in matters of conversation, wardrobe and etiquette. They are immediately turned off by public embarrassment, bad hygiene and unsophisticated behavior. So leave your poor taste jokes at home!
However, once a Venus in Libra becomes fond of you, they are a joy to be around. They have the best conversation, witty sense of humour, know all the most interesting people and will happily entertain you for hours.
A Venus in Libra can make you feel like you are the only one in the world. They see beauty everywhere and you can be sure they've noticed yours. Not only do they see all your gifts in rose-tinted glasses, but a Venus in Libra will say and do all the right things, because they want you to feel comfortable, and also to like them.
But due to the validation-seeking nature of Libra with its cardinal air energy, there can be a tendency for perfectionism and people-pleasing when Venus is here. They can feel unappreciated or taken advantage of when people overstep their boundaries, if they do indeed have any.
This can cause the Venus in Libra native's experience of self-esteem, relationships and values to be disappointing and with their strong sense of right and wrong, at times even shocking. Venus' influence sits behind every thought and feeling, seeking an idealistic connection that is often out of reach.
Venus in Libra needs to find validation within, and to find the grey areas of themselves and others, with all the messy unpredictable nuances of reality. When they feel safe to be themselves, this poetic heart will spread love and magic wherever they go, showing the world what it means to really truly care about doing things the right way.

β Prophecy + Divination | Venus in Libra Magic
Venus in Libra is an adept at seeing beauty. Since Libra is ruled by Venus, the best kind of divination is the divination of people. Since the word for Libra is "relate", Venus in Libras tend to be good at reading people's energy, problems, desires and blocks. They are Venus in an air sign, so they can detach enough emotionally to be able to see to the core of people.
The cardinal air nature of Libra lends itself to divination that uses relationships between things. For example: astrology, tarot cards, cowrie shells, I ching and so on. They are masters at reading combinations and seeing the patterns and connections between objects and people.
To harness the power of Venus in Libra for divination, learning to really truly see without being clouded by your own attachments or feelings is the best route. An appreciation of beauty, patterns, harmony and how things can be learnt and understood makes for incredible results.
One thing to watch out for though is an avoidance of shadow. This blocks the intuition. To become master seers, a Venus in Libra must acknowledge that sometimes things are dark, messy, uncomfortable, primal even, and that is ok. What messages come up must be delivered as is, without being refined and edited.
β Love Magic | Venus in Libra Magic
Venus in Libra needs to feel beautiful, and their love lives require balance, equality, cooperation and romance. They work well as a two and seek someone they can trust to partner with.
If you're making love magic during Venus in Libra (or for a Venus in Libra native), opt for intentions like:
Romance and flowers, compliments and appreciation, accepting their own and others' imperfections, diplomacy and fairness, understanding, finding the grey areas, building and maintaining boundaries, assertiveness and speaking their truth, authenticity and being themselves in a partnership, finding a responsible and attractive partner, letting go of control

A love spell for Venus in Libra:
Ohh Venus in Libra is a poet if there ever was one! So use your words for this love spell.
See my article on making a love list here for a deeper exploration of this type of magic.
Basically you're going to write a list of all the things you want in a partner (or if coupled: the things you want from your partner).
Read it aloud every day for 30 days. Voila! This seriously works.

β Self-Worth + Glamour Magic | Venus in Libra Magic
The self-worth of a Venus in Libra is quiet confidence. You know that they know they're pretty, but somehow, you don't mind because you think so too.
They can be vain, but this is only because they love to look for beauty and to improve on things that… well… aren’t.
Venus in Libra is an aesthetic genius and once they've picked their vibe, they will embody it in every way possible. They are skilled at branding, styling, make snappy dressers and rarely have a hair out of place (or if it is out of place, it was totally meant to be like that).
The thing is, a Venus in Libra likes beautiful things whether you also like them or not, BUT they are more happy when you do. Validation and agreement to a Venus in Libra is like fuel for their artistic fire and they will positively froth with charm if given the go ahead.
However, this means that a lot rides on their image and choices. When they fail to be what they intended, for example they are embarrassed in front of people, or they look/act in messy or out of control ways, they take it hard.
But a Venus in Libra doesn't stay down for long and despite taking their self-worth from their outer appearances they have an inner strength that many other signs don't have. They are masters of finding out what went wrong and improving on it. In fact, you'll also never know they were down in the first place.
Just remember, waiting politely within a Venus in Libra is a powerful witch of the shadows just longing to be set free. Libra is an air sign and far more intelligent than they let on. When they can lean into this dominant cardinal energy, they'll attract the mutual respect they've been seeking all along.
During Venus in Libra transits, we learn to assert ourselves, build boundaries to protect our energy and let go of people pleasing habits. This is the perfect time to practice empowerment magic.
If you're making self-worth and glamour magic during a Venus in Libra transit (or for a Venus in Libra native), opt for intentions like:
Banishing people pleasing, magnetizing through beauty, enhancing positive traits, minimising negative traits, mutual respect, learning to receive, embracing femininity, asserting yourself, taking criticism with grace, seeing flaws as interesting, taking up more space (stop playing small), banishing perfectionism, embracing your true power, caring less about what people think

A simple glamour magic spell for Venus in Libra:
Mirror work is super powerful for Venus in Libra.
Write down a list of 10 things about yourself that you want people to see and 10 things you don't want people to see.
e.g. "I want people to see my generosity and hot style." / "I don't want people to see my selfishness and muffin top."…
Stand in front of the mirror and read out all 20 starting with "I love my".
e.g. "I love my hot style. I love my muffin top".
Finish by looking yourself in the eye and saying "these things make me ME and I am a multifaceted beautiful creation. My imperfections make me interesting and I love, honour and accept ALL of me"
And done! Instant and powerful glamour magic!
β Money Magic | Venus in Libra Magic
If you have Venus in Libra (or are experiencing a Venus in Libra transit), your attitude towards money is that it should be spent on beautiful things, lovely things, kind things, artistic things aaaaand not much else.
Unless you have a contradictory aspect in your natal chart, you tend to enjoy spending money on clothes, objects and education that expresses your identity in aesthetic and interesting ways.
Venus in Libra is also very generous with money, especially when the cause speaks to their heart. They want everyone to live in Venusian comforts and will happily splurge on friends, donate to charities (especially animal charities) and can be counted on to come to any event they're invited to (with a stunning outfit of course). Even if they're on a budget, they’ll find a way.
Venus in Libra likes to feel that money supports them in their pursuit for love and beauty. Basically meaning that they want to be able to go out with friends, enjoy outings and shopping trips without thinking of boring things like paying for bills or toilet paper.
A Venus in Libra is the type to splurge on things that are not at all necessary but quite lovely, like a stunning dress, an indulgent brunch or a gorgeous gift for a dear friend, but penny pinch on the most vital (but uninteresting) things.
However, this doesn't seem to bother them as they seem to be lucky with money. Since Venus rules Libra, and tend to see money as a flow of energy that just somehow comes to them. Fabulous!
If you're making money magic during a Venus in Libra transit (or for a Venus in Libra native), opt for intentions like:
Fabulous indulgent yummy beautiful things, Venusian comforts for all! Interior design, self-improvements e.g. haircuts, massages, outfits and etiquette, charity work, anything for animals, art, music, literature, education, inspirational aspirational things, parties, brunches, socialising.
A simple money magic spell for Venus in Libra:
Venus in Libra is goddess territory, so let's ask a deity for some cash.
Aphrodite, Lakshmi, Isis, Hathor, Oshun. Choose a goddess and set up an altar for her somewhere. This can be super simple – a picture and a few beautiful relevant objects.
Make offerings for 13 days. Fruit, sweets, incense, found objects like shells, leaves, feathers.
After 13 days make a petition. Ask for something in writing. Read it aloud to Her. Put the paper on the altar.
For the next 13 days, read the petition aloud and make an offering.
When it comes true, thank your goddess with a larger offering.
Happy worship!
β Healing Magic | Venus in Libra Magic
Venus in Libra magic is best for healing relationships and relating patterns.
Breakups, breakdowns, boundaries, self-respect, people pleasing, relationship trauma, triggers, being attracted to the wrong types and anything that keeps you from being empowered in your relationships is best for Venus in Libra.
The areas ruled by Libra are: Kidneys, lower back and the endocrine system, so healing these is extra potent during Venus in Libra transits.
A simple healing spell for Venus in Libra:
Writing, talking and journaling may not seem like magic but they honestly are one of the most alchemical practices, especially for Venus in Libra.
Write down your problem, your past history of it, how it makes you feel, how you want to feel, what you are holding onto and what you want your life to be like without it.
Write on this topic for 10 minutes every day then stop. Put it away. Don't revisit it until the next day.
In this way you create a container for healing, much like therapy (FYI therapy is also awesome and this practice is not a replacement for it) and much like magic! It totally works.
**disclaimer** Magic never replaces a doctor's visit! Any magical advice you receive from me must be paired with proper medical care.
β Venus in Libra Talisman Magic
Activate the power of Venus in Libra by forging a talisman during the Venus in Libra transit (or for a Venus in Libra native).
Talismans are usually formed as jewellery or small objects so you can carry them around and receive their magic 24/7.
Working with an astrologer (like me!) to find the right date and time will give your talisman the exact energy you seek to create. This is called "electional astrology" and you can book a consultation with me here.
First, choose your intention from some of the ones we've explored above.
Then decide what type of talisman to create. Sapphires, jade and copper are all Libra themed so would make fabulous materials for your talisman.
If you want to upcycle/decorate something old, be aware that any energy on the item becomes part of your spell (for good or bad). Cleanse it properly first!
At your elected time, set up a ritual space and begin creating your talisman. Visualise your intention during the process.
Charge the talisman every Venus in Libra season!
We've reached the end!
