Libra is a cardinal sign and an air sign; cardinal air is a metaphor for ideas put into action. Libras are doers rather than thinkers, although they certainly take a long time pondering when making a decision. This is because Libra is highly indecisive and can never make up their mind.

Libra will weigh the scales when deciding, and while they are linked to balance, balance is something they will struggle to achieve throughout their life. In life, Libra is always searching for balance. Their spiritual goal is to learn the meaning of selfless love.
