Charming and attractive, the Libra child is able to get along with people of all ages. However, this can be a very demanding and lazy child who will need to be pushed into action, including studies and gaining knowledge that will stand this little one in good stead wherever life's path may lead. A harmonious atmosphere at home is essential since these children become emotionally confused and upset under prevailing stressful conditions. Even when young, the Libra child will be a natural peacemaker. Being sociable and outgoing, this little one needs friends and hates to be left alone. By nature accommodating and happy, the Libra child wants to be liked. The best approach toward this child is caring and gentle handling. Basically bright, these are souls who are essentially reasonable and able to adapt to any surroundings with relative ease. This is a kind and concerned child...one who will often go out of his or her way to help other children. The inherent winning ways and laid back style will make this little one popular, but self-esteem is liable to fluctuate and there is also a stubborn streak here. Sometimes, this child can be sharp, difficult and temperamental. It does not happen often, but when it does, the little Libra is likely to blow the situation totally out of proportion.

Essentially a caring individual, the Libra child is not destructive by nature. He or she is imaginative and clever...frequently coming up with some truly amazing ideas. This child also possesses a sense of justice and will probably feel bad if he or she believes any siblings have not been treated fairly. Yet, at the same time, this is a child who will become even more upset if he or she does not get enough attention. Still, being the little charmers that they are, they can usually win anyone over. The inherent love of peace and quiet here can be a double-edged sword, as it ofen means that this child will give in far too easily to other more stronger and more vocal personalities. When faced with a problem, little Libra often buries his or her head in the sand, hoping it will go away rather than seeking out help to deal with it. Given the deep dislike of hurting or offending anyone, this child will undoubtedly find it difficult to make decisions...especially when choosing or favoring one person over another. Although often regarded as a lazy Sign, this is not altogether a fair statement. While the Libra child dislikes mess and is somewhat "refined" in activities (no mud pies to be made here), he or she does have plenty of physical energy when offered the opportunity to use it in a creative fashion. Once the attention has been captured and held, this is a child who will be active and one who is adverse to wasting time. It should be noted that children governed by Libra are inclined to bear grudges considerably more than those ruled by other Signs of the Zodiac. The Libra child who believes he or she has been treated unjustly at home or at school will allow it to interfere with his or her life until there is a feeling of vindication.

Sunny and affectionate, this child will almost assuredly need a great deal of understanding since there is a tendency for the little Libra to be over-emotional. Sensible and careful supervision is very important. Being amiable, impulsive and demonstrative, these children can scarcely bring themselves to submit to discipline which is forced upon them, but may be lead by gentle appeals to their reason and understanding. When admonished in a kindly fashion, they are quick to realize their and admit their faults...and to fully apologize. Susceptible to psychological and outside influences, the Libra child can be easily led or misled. These are souls who are sensitive to ridicule and have the ability to swiftly learn the art of deceit in order to avoid the necessity of explaining all the fancies of their vivid imaginations. The Libra child is talkative and prone toward exaggeration. Thus, he or she needs to be taught the fundamental truths of nature. These chilren flourish best on liberal praise and encouragement. Indeed, harsh criticism and punishment often destroy their talents. They possess natural inventiveness and much originality, sometimes resulting in the utterance of the most unexpected thoughts...thoughts which should be listened to with loving attention.

At school, this child will undoubtedly excel at art subjects and also very likely to develop a love of literature. Not particularly technically minded, this little one may need to be encouraged in mathematics and science and could possibly take dislike to sports at a very early age on the grounds that getting grubby and sweaty is not very lady-like...an excuse used by both the boys and the girls of this Sign. Nevertheless, there is good intellectual potential here which enhances the natural ability to enjoy the education process and do quite well at studies. However, the key will be whether or not this child harbors the desire to succeed. In general, Libra children are quite healthy little souls but there may be trouble throughout life involving the kidneys, so this area of their well-being does need to be carefully watched.

Of course, as this little one grows, the personality will develop, but many childhood traits will develop into similar ones of a more adult nature. There will always be an aversion to being alone, for example, which could result in an "any relationship is better than none" attitude. As this child matures, it will be important for he or she to make sure that the inherent generosity is being bestowed for the right reasons and not simply to buy affection. A solid routine helps to build a disciplined character in the early years of Libra children and they tend to marry while in their twenties.

The Libra girl is usually exceedingly attractive and likes to surround herself with individuals of the same type...both male and female. In plain and simple terms, the young Libra lady cannot stand to be alone. Totally focused on looking good, her hair will always be in the latest style and her fashion sense is second to none. This is a girl who tends to cling to her friends and always socializes in the environment of a crowd...and it will be a happy group since she insists on harmony at any cost. The willingness to please here may be considered by some as superficial, but the intentions of the girl governed by Libra are always good. Blessed with an intellectual quality...or maybe because she is adverse to aggravating her teacher...she will do well in school and constantly produces work that is quite beautiful to the eye.

The Libra boy is an exceedingly appearance-conscious young fellow. He can always be found in the midst of the "in crowd," so as to ensure he will be seen with all the right people. Something of a "smooth talker," he knows how to say all the right things and will compromise to accommodate others. Thus, he can at times be perceived as somewhat superficial, to say nothing of lacking in any true emotional or physical fire. The main interests of the boy governed by Libra is to look good and act pleasantly diplomatic, as opposed to behaving like a brute or building up brawn. This is a young man who excels at spending money and enjoys such things as designer clothes. He will harbor a desire to be accepted at a school that makes him look as good as possible...an Ivy League College, for example, where he can prepare himself for future ascendancy into the "old boy" network of his dreams.

The Ruling Planet of Venus, associated with love and beauty, usually makes the children of Libra excellent peacemakers. These little ones tend to weigh ideas and are the best consultants and balancing agents for others. Strangely, they have no end of trouble in making decisions for themselves. Since Libra is one of the three Air Signs (together with Gemini and Aquarius), any child governed by this element is likely to experience difficulties in relating to the feelings of others. Thus, a good amount of time should be devoted at an early age to teaching the children of Air the art of interacting with their peers. There may also be a streak of indecisiveness apparent in children ruled by Air and they need to be patiently taught the importance of making decisions, taking a stand or supporting a conviction without being "wishy-washy" and constantly changing their minds. It is also paramout for Air children to learn that charm does not always necessarily work. If this lesson is failed to be learned when young, then Air children will grow up attempting to charm their way through life...often at the expense of those around them. The gift of a Libra child is the ability to relate to others as a form of beauty.

Aries Parent/Libra Child: Since Aries is known for its abrasiveness and Libra for its charm and tact, there will be two very different approaches to life and living in this combination. The Aries parent will only be wasting breath in demanding action from the little Libra. Here, the requirements are diplomacy and equality. If these are not employed, then the Libra child will quietly (and without much fuss) do things his or her own way regardless...much to the exasperation of the Aries parent. Nonetheless, this parent/child relationship is far from incompatible as each Sign possesses what the other lacks and the inherent Libra desire for harmony will afford the family great balance. Although things can get entangled in knots if an understanding is not reached, it is a wonderful relationship when things are going well. The Aries parent will be impulsive and easily excitable...the Libra child will be indecisive and unsure, preferring thoughts to action. Thus, this parent can help the child to more easily make decisions. In turn, this child can teach the parent the value of patience. This pairing has plenty to learn from each other when it comes to interpersonal relationships and how to deal with life in general.

Taurus Parent/Libra Child: These two individuals are both ruled by Venus, although the qualities associated with this deity will be expressed differently. The Taurus parent relishes the fruits of his or her labor in comfort and style...good food and drink and peaceful harmonious surroundings in which to enjoy them. However, the Libra child craves excitement, sociability and fun...albeit it in a somewhat laid back fashion. Still, a happy medium can usually be found and this will result in a luxurious household where there is much emphasis on the finer things of life. Both Signs look for a comfortable and secure family and both will possess a highly refined taste and love for culture and aesthetics. Basically, both parent and child share common goals. To the outsider, this may not appear to be a strong relationship, but to each other, they are a source of strength and inspiration. There will not necessarily always be agreement between the two, but each will normally give the other sufficient breathing space to avoid a confrontation. Here, the child can help the parent to be more flexible and the parent can assist the child to overcome the notorious indecision inherent in Libra natives. Patience and understanding will need to be exercised in order to get around the rough edges, but there will always be a mutual appreciation of culture and learning.

Gemini Parent/Libra Child: Here, the Libra child will enjoy the busy and varied home environment created by the Gemini parent since it provides the opportunity to test and refine social skills, as well as a chance to hone the well-known Libra characteristic of being a charmer. The parent will take great pride in the little Libra and have confidence in the fact that this child is able to hold his or her own in any company. Since both these Signs are governed by the element of Air, they will share a love of discussion and conversation. Each will enjoy intellectual pursuits...light jests and quizzing one another, for example...and the Libra child possesses the ability to balance the dual nature associated with Gemini. However, this child often lacks tenacity and perseverance, much to the chagrin of the parent. It will be necessary for Gemini to urge the little Libra to stick to his or her endeavors. Disagreements will be few in this combination given that Libra avoids quarrels at all costs and Gemini appreciates the harmony. In terms of education, the Gemini parent will be both encouraging and involved. In essence, this will be an amicable and easy relationship between two souls who have much in common, are able to work together as a team and can mutually explore new vistas and different points of view.

Cancer Parent/Libra Child: The parent here will provide a strong and secure environment. However, the danger is in recognizing at which point the protected offspring needs to be set free to experience the lessons of life. The Libra child enjoys the good life and may well become lazy in such a pampered atmosphere, which ultimately will not help his or her personal development. Thus, the Cancer parent must be strong enough to push the young Libra out into the world...encouraging socialization, interaction and development of creative talents. Still, each is otherwise able to provide what the other is lacking. Both seek security and warmth in personal relationships, as well as sharing an appreciation for beauty and luxury. Since both these Signs relish peace and harmony, arguments are rare...conflicts only arising if the parent seems to be overly grumpy or irritable...or the child appears too frivolous. The parent will strive to make a good home for the family and the Libra child will appreciate such efforts. Plus, Libra does have a desire for unanimity and balance that will sit very well with the Cancer parent. This child may accuse the Cancer parent of being overprotective, but he or she does understand that such concern stems from the parent's love. Both individuals do approach life in different ways and each needs to accept that, but by working together, parent and child will bring warmth and stablility into each other's lives.

Leo Parent/Libra Child: Leo and Libra represent two of the most dignified Signs of the Zodiac. Appearances and social prestige will be very important to both parent and child. Leo will take great pride in his or her charming little Libra and will enjoy showing the child off at every possible opportunity. In turn, the child will relish the attention being showered upon him or her...to say nothing of appreciating the chance such interactions will provide in refining those special social skills which come so naturally in any event. The Leo parent will encourage the child's artistic and creative abilities, furnishing all the material support necessary to develop it further...with no expense spared when it comes to his or her talented young progeny. There will be an excellent transparency in this relationship which makes for a cooperative and complimentary combination. The decisive Leo parent will help the often vacillating Libra child to make up his or her mind and also aid this little one to be more relaxed and spontaneous. Although Leo is by nature flashy and flamboyant, while Libra is inherently peace-loving and refined, both parent and child here will appreciate the benefits of having the other around. Able to "click" as a team, this parent/child mix usually works with clock-like precision and together, they can achieve much more than either would have accomplished alone.

Virgo Parent/Libra Child: Virgo has something of a tendency to be smothering, but with the inherent Libra charm, grace and sociability, this child will ensure that he or she forges out a path from such a sometimes overly-safe environment created by this parent. Since the main passion of Libra is the arts, encouragement from the practical Virgo parent will ensure that the full range of creative talents is explored and developed. Essentially, this parent/child union will be complimentary since together, they from a part of the greater whole. Both are immensely practical and both harbor a love of material comfort and security. This pair can work together smoothly because they share similar interests. However, conflicts may arise if the Virgo parent is too demanding and meticulous or the Libra child becomes too manipulative. There may not always be mutual understanding, but differences will be resolved quickly and the Virgo parent and Libra child will be totally devoted to each other. Emotional outbursts and flaring tempers will occur rarely and there will be a shared desire to lead an organized life. This is basically a very harmonious relationship where appearances and tidiness are important to both individuals.

Libra Parent/Libra Child: Here, both parent and child share a love of beauty, harmony and fairness. The home will undoubtedly be full of beautiful objects, creating an environment that is pleasant and balanced for the Libra child. Pleasing, appealing and very kind by nature, little Libra is easy to get along with and very artistic. These shared traits between parent and child connect to form a close bond between the pair, but they should avoid doing anything together that requires making a decision...shopping, for example...since they will drive each other to distraction with their combined indecisiveness. Libra natives are loath to rule out any options, particularly when they can find something appealing in all of them. The Libra child will find it difficult to develop this weakness into its more positive form...the ability to see both sides of things...if the Libra parent is still struggling with this dilemma. The parent will look after the child's appearance extremely well and the inherent sense of fair play will soon restore any hostility between the two back to harmony once more. In short, this will be an agreeable and well-balanced relationship with each able to adjust quickly to the ways of the other. Devotion to the family is a top priority and as long as both are mindful of the other's attributes, they will work well together and make for a charming combination. On the negative side, there is a shared lack of self-control and tendency toward laziness. Nonetheless, the love and devotion will run deep, there will be mutual respect and the commitment to each other (and other members of the family) will be incomparable.

Scorpio Parent/Libra Child: This is a difficult parent/child combination since the two differ in so many respects. Still, they will meet on some levels...the intense and powerful energy of Scorpio being drawn toward the lightness of the Libra child...but this parent will often find the tendency toward indecisiveness exceedingly annoying. The home is liable to be constantly filled with little Libra's friends, since this is a child who makes friends easily, which might upset the way Scorpio prefers things in his or her house...fixed and unchanging. This is a loving and sharing child...something that the Scorpio parent needs to learn and appreciate, given that sharing is the last thing any Scorpio native wants to do. Difficulties may also arise in communication between this pair. The Scorpio parent likes to be mysterious and hold back on his or her views, whereas the extroverted Libra child will be upfront and open. This is a union that requires work and luckily, both parent and child here will be willing to put forth the effort, which can result in a fulfilling and stimulating relationship. Regardless, this parent and child will be fiercely loyal to each other and stand together through thick and thin with undying support. Libra's natural harmony and desire to balance could well compensate for the brooding nature of Scorpio, and this child's interpersonal skills when combined with the Scorpio parent's determination and drive, makes for a great team. Together, there is nothing they cannot achieve...able to get things accomplished courtesy of sheer willpower and intellect alone.

Sagittarius Parent/Libra Child: This parent/child combination is a truly magnificent one where both individuals are optimistic and outgoing. The Libra child will love hearing about the adventures of the Sagittarius parent and the Sagittarious parent will love to share in mutual future adventures and plans. Here, the parent wants to do things with the child and will doubtless learn much about life in the process. However, since the Libra child will be softer and more sensitive than his or her Sagittarius parent, it is important that the Sagittarius parent be careful to think before speaking or feelings could easily be hurt. Given the similarities in personality, coupled with a multitude of common interests, this pair makes for a very compatible relationship...one that is loving and harmonious. Problems between this parent and child will be rare and quickly resolved. Both possess an avid interest in cultivating knowledge...with life experiences valued over traditional theoretical learning...and will constantly encourage each other with enthusiasm, energy and drive. The Libra child may occasionally feel that the Satittarius parent is being overly concerned, but this is only because he or she is trying to be protective and responsible.

Capricorn Parent/Libra Child: This is a relationship that will require work since these two have little...if anything...in common. The Libra nature is outgoing...Capricorn likes to play it safe. Libra is given to intellectual reflection...Capricorn prefers to do things the hard way if such will fetch the desired reward. The Libra child is extroverted and needs the approval and understanding of any parent, whereas the Capricorn parent admires achievement in the world and the ability to set goals, as well as to attain them. Thus, this parent will not be especially proud of the young Libra's tendency to make friends with others purely for the sake of being nice. In addition, the parent here...who is something of a self-contained individual...will fail to understand the Libra desire for social interaction. A house full of children and the accompanying noise is also liable to annoy the Capricorn parent, particularly when he or she is trying to complete work projects. In order for harmony to reign in this union, there must be tolerance. Each will have to accept the ways of the other and learn to incorporate at least some of the other's qualities into their lives. Capricorn can teach Libra about self-oriented achievement while Libra can teach Capricorn to take others into consideration from time to time. In short, parent and child must strive to reach a middle ground. On the more positive side, both these individuals tend to be go-getters and if each can accept the other unconditionally, they will be prepared to face the challenges of this relationship and try to make it a meaninful whole...with the end result that each will learn a lesson in fortitude.

Aquarius Parent/Libra Child: Here, both parent and child are governed by the element of Air. Thus, they will undoubtedly get along with each other since both adore talking and the exchanging of ideas. The Libra child is essentially a pleasing and lovable soul but inherently indecisive, and the Aquarius parent can help this child to make up his or her mind. Given the mutual love of art, there will probably be many happy days spent roaming galleries with friends. Since Libra learns through sharing, this child can teach the Aquarius parent to be more aware of other people and the Aquarius parent can instruct his or her young Libra on how to be more objective when decisions have to be made so that less time is wasted in vacillating. Basically, this parent/child relationship will reinforce the consciousness of both individuals. Characterized by an active desire to learn and explore the world together, this union will be based upon a set of common preferences. There is also a shared aversion for confined lifestyles and these two will make for a formidable pair when fighting against social inequalities or even ushering radical changes in the community. Still, there are some differences in how matters are approached here and each will need to exercise respect for the other's personal views. Both the Libra child and the Aquarius parent have an abundance of energy and working together, can produce great ideas. However, Aquarius likes the freedom to experiment with such ideas while Libra requires intellectual freedom to look at all sides of the Aquarius argument before expressing agreement. Nevertheless, the parent can help the child to sort things out and in each other's company, they will likely come to appreciate even the little things. In short, these two have the ability to achieve much while still enjoying being together.

Pisces Parent/Libra Child: Characteristically, both of these Signs are soft-natured. Hence, this will be a good parent/child blend, one that is compatible but absolutely hopeless when it comes to making decisions with a tendency to pull in multiple directions. Unfortunately, the Pisces parent is not a particularly strong role model for the Libra child, being too pliable and unable to teach the child what he or she needs...what he or she is lacking. Both are very artistic, but the Libra child will be able to use this talent far more productively in the world than the Pisces parent would ever be able to do. Here, the child is the more social animal and will bring home lots of friends, but the Pisces nature is inherently welcoming so this parent will have no trouble in blending in...conjuring a plethera of imaginative games and reading fantasy stories. Since the Libra child has an aversion to being alone, the Pisces parent could find this somewhat stifling since Pisces does like to slip away...both physically and mentally...into his or her own personal dreams. Still, this pair will probably find it easy to reach a compromise...Libra is a very giving soul and will want his or her parent to be happy and may even gently bring the Pisces parent down to reality. In return, the parent can teach the Libra child to follow his or her dreams. Problems are rare here with any conflicts quickly resolved since this is a pair that will kiss and make up at the drop of a hat. Overall, this parent/child union results in a warm, strong, loving and enduring bond, to say nothing of a lifelong friendship.
