It’s all about balance this month as we head into Libra season. With their harmonious nature, this air sign desires fairness, peace, and justice. Gifted with an innate sense of balance, this sign is represented by the scales of justice (the only inanimate object in the zodiac). Family and friends know Libras as born diplomats, often acting as compassionate mediators, thanks to their natural empathy and great listening skills.

Born between Sept. 23 - Oct. 23, their sharp minds are curious and analytical, but carry a deep appreciation for art and beauty. Natural charmers with excellent manners, their adaptability makes them extremely likeable. But as people pleasers, Libras would do well to remember that true peace means setting boundaries. They can be indecisive (gotta weigh all the options!), so we’ve narrowed down exactly what to read next with these Libra-inspired book recommendations. Only one choice left—ebook or audiobook?
