Some people have what it takes to make amazing friends, and when it comes to astrology, Libras are definitely at the top. If someone is throwing you a party, giving you a hug, or responding to your texts at 3 a.m., that's a sign of being friendly, social, and diplomatic.
“People born under the sign of Libra—that is, from September 23 to October 22—are naturally good at making and maintaining friendships,” says Michelle Bell, founder of astrology app Cosmic Fusion. “They are also known as the glue in their circle of friends, always trying to make sure everything is harmonious and fair.”
This sign is the first to respond in group chats and always steps in when the girls are arguing. "Libra values balance and fairness," Bell says. They try to see all sides of an issue, which makes them excellent mediators and someone you want to call when you need advice. "
They are also one of the most interesting signs, after Gemini, Leo and Sagittarius. If you want a bestie who will TikTok you, go to brunch with you, and laugh at all your inside jokes, they’ll always have your back. Here are all the reasons why Libras are the zodiac's best friends, according to astrologers.
Libra is bestie material
Libra has many advantages when it comes to friendships. First, their ruling planet is Venus, which represents love and beauty. "This influence gives Libra a natural tendency to create balance and harmony in relationships," says Bell.
They love nothing more than bringing all the people they love into one space, and they are the best at creating welcoming environments. "Their connection to Venus also enhances their understanding and appreciation of relationships, helping them to become compassionate and supportive friends," she said. Once you have a good friend with a Libra, they will become your best friends for life.
Of course, the fact that they are an air sign doesn't affect their situation either. Air signs are naturally friendly, talkative, and outgoing. Because they are so sociable, they have no problem making friends wherever they go, whether it's at work, at an apartment building, or at a local coffee shop. They talk to their neighbors, their baristas, and pretty much anyone who looks at them.
As the icing on the cake, Libra rules the seventh house of partnerships. "This makes them particularly good at understanding and managing one-on-one relationships," Bell said. "Their rule of this house also means Libras are at their best in partnerships, whether romantic or platonic, emphasizing their role as supportive and loyal friends."
they are excellent listeners
Because of the Libra element and the qualities of their ruler, Libras tend to be among the best listeners in the zodiac. Whether you call them, sit across from them at brunch, or text, you can always tell they are actively paying attention and hanging on your every word. "They genuinely care about what others have to say, which makes them excellent confidants," Bell said. “You feel like your feelings and thoughts are truly heard and acknowledged.”
They stay in touch with their emotions
"This sign has very high emotional intelligence, which not only helps them understand their own feelings, but also helps them understand the emotions of others," Bell said. "This empathy makes them sensitive to their friends' needs and struggles, and they are often the first to offer comfort or a shoulder to cry on."
This trait also means they are good at setting boundaries. If they don't want to hang out or can't text, they'll let you know as soon as possible. They are not the type to give too much of themselves to feel resentful.
They are always ready to help
You know you've found your best friend when someone is there to help you in the most mundane moments, like moving at 3 a.m. or landing at the airport. If anyone was willing to volunteer to be your own personal Uber, you can bet it would be a Libra.
They also desire to take on the role of therapist. "If a friend is in trouble or facing a challenge, Libra will often go out of their way to be supportive and helpful, whether that's offering practical help or standing up for their friend in a difficult situation," Bell says.
they maintain peace
If Libra sees friction in the air, they will be the first to step in and mediate. "Let's say you have a disagreement with another friend at a group dinner," Bell says. They immediately notice and make sure both parties feel heard and understood. “They have the ability to calm tense situations and ensure everyone leaves happy with the outcome.”
They plan the best parties
While Libra loves one-on-one time, they really excel when it comes to planning a party. They'll buy a million decorations, set up a snack table—with everyone's allergens in mind—and curate the most amazing playlists.
They do it just because, or to cheer someone up. "Imagine you're feeling down," Bell said. "Your Libra friend might organize a small surprise party or a chill movie night to create a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that will keep everyone's spirits up."
they are very supportive
If you're going through a tough time, Bell says, a Libra will always be there to listen -- not just passively, but proactively. It feels like they're peeking into all the inner workings of your brain, and then they say things that prove they know you better than you know yourself.
“They are also great at providing thoughtful and balanced advice,” Bell said. "For example, if you're unsure about a big decision, like changing jobs, a Libra will sit with you, weigh the pros and cons, and help you see different perspectives to ensure you make the best choice."
Apparently, they've earned their status as best friends of the zodiac.
