All About the Libra Rising Sign: From Personality Traits to Compatibility

Here's everything to know if your rising sign is in Libra, according to astrologer Kyle Thomas

Libra season will usher in a time that's focused on balance and harmony in our lives.

Known for their charm and diplomatic demeanor, people with Libra placements strive for fairness and peace. As one of the three Air signs, Libras are inherently social and love to communicate their ideas and projects with the world.

Ruled by Venus - the planet of love, pleasure, and beauty - Libras focus on cultivating and nurturing their platonic and romantic relationships and can be prolific artists and poets.

Libra risings in particular embody these traits since their birth chart is also ruled by Venus. They typically have an innate tendency to surround themselves with luxury and are considered eternal romantics.

We tapped PEOPLE's resident astrologer Kyle Thomas — who is partnering with the Getty Museum for an online exhibit and live event called Rising Signs that dives into Medieval manuscripts and discusses the connection between ancient and contemporary astrology — to break down everything to know about Libra risings.

Libra rising personality traits and mindset

Libra risings are inherently "charming, diplomatic and social" people, according to Thomas. He tells PEOPLE that they are expert communicators and strive for "peace and balance" above anything else in their lives and relationships.

"As eternal romantics, Libra risings crave relationships and partnerships and will dive into union headfirst when they find someone they admire deeply," Thomas continues. "This can - at times - lead them into codependency [in relationships]."

Libra risings are also excellent negotiators and sensitive. Thomas reveals that they like to "process their feelings intellectually," which can lead them to be "indecisive, as they do everything possible to avoid conflict."

Libra risings as friends

According to Thomas, "anyone with strong Libra placements will favor partnerships and relationships significantly." While this trait is more noticeable in people who are Libra suns, it plays a significant role in a Libra rising's approach to friendship.

Libra risings are considered to be "naturally charming" and graceful in their daily lives and quite "social and sweet" with others but are more passive than someone with a Libra sun. Thomas also explains that Libra risings typically need someone on their side, whether that person is a "best friend" or "partner in crime" and will "attract individuals who are social, unique, open-minded, and dynamic as friends."

Libra risings compatibility in love and relationships

Libra risings are known to prioritize their romantic relationships. But unlike a Libra sun, people who are Libra rising "may be a bit coyer in diving into relationships," Thomas says.

Libra risings are deeply romantic and put in the effort for their romantic relationships. However, they may be more indecisive about who they go into a relationship than a Libra sun. Thomas explains that Libra risings typically attract partners that are "assertive, fiery, dynamic, and bold."

Libras are typically most compatible with other Air signs (Gemini and Aquarius) and some Fire signs (Aries and Leo).

Air signs share similar worldviews and values, which would allow for Libra risings to intellectually connect with a person with other Air sign placements. Fire signs are known for their passion and bold personalities, which ties well with Libra rising's love for the simple pleasures in life.

Libra risings with money and their finances

According to Thomas, Libra risings "can be particularly shrewd and strategic on building finances." In their birth charts, a Libra rising's placements can set them up for financial success.

Thomas elaborates that since their second house of resources is typically ruled by Scorpio and their eighth house of wealth is ruled by Taurus, this can make them "particularly shrewd and strategic in building finances."

Since Libra risings have "highly developed communication abilities," they can "excel in any partner-based industry, but may have a further edge in contractual business."

Libra risings with their family and home

Thomas says there is "a great focus on partnership" when it comes to a Libra rising's home and family.

They tend to crave "stability" and may focus on more traditional aspects of how they view their home and family. Thomas explains that this is because "Capricorn falls on their fourth house of home, family and domesticity."

When at home, Libra risings are more comfortable being themselves and "exhibit their sun sign energy more significantly, as they are not focused on fully embodying their ascendant mask."

Celebrities who are Libra risings

Some celebrities who are Libra risings include Jennifer Aniston, Beyoncé, Harry Styles, Idris Elba, Britney Spears and Niall Horan.
