Ruled by Venus, Libra excels in law, diplomacy, counselling, design, fashion, the arts, public relations and any partnership-based or aesthetic work. Their fairness and charm make them natural mediators.
Health
Libra rules the kidneys and lower back; watch for kidney, urinary and lower-back issues, often linked to imbalance and stress. Moderation and routine help.
Compatibility
Libra generally harmonises best with Gemini, Aquarius, Leo, Sagittarius. Compatibility, however, depends on the full chart — for marriage, always check Ashtakoot Guna Milan rather than Sun signs alone.
Ruling planet & Nakshatras
Libra is ruled by Venus (Shukra), whose strength and placement in your chart shape how the sign expresses. It spans the Nakshatras Chitra, Swati, Vishakha (1st–3rd pada), which refine its meaning further. Read the sign together with its lord and Nakshatras for a personal picture.
