If there’s anything to know about Libra as a sign, it’s that it’s very relationship-oriented and strives for peace, harmony, and justice. It’s actually represented by the scales—the only astrological sign symbolized by an inanimate object—which is a reflection of Libra’s objective and fair mindset. So, to have a Libra moon, then, means Libra values and traits will heavily influence the way you feel about yourself and how you relate to other people on an emotional level. As astrologer Molly Pennington, Ph.D., previously told mindbodygreen, “The Libra moon is like the ultimate hostess. Its love language is about connection because it’s ruled by Venus,” adding that Libra is a very charming and diplomatic sign. And according to astrologer Desiree Roby Antila, something else to understand about Libra moons is that their minds are particularly intellectual, being an air sign. “A way they connect with people emotionally is definitely through intellect, and Libra is ruled by Venus, so they really like harmony and beauty and balance,” she explains. As Roby Antila explains, these are people who are likely to intellectualize their emotions, as well. While they can be emotional, she notes that they’re much more likely to overanalyze their emotions than actually feel them. And they may hesitate to burden anyone with what they’re going through, too. Being a sign that’s very invested in justice and equality, the biggest thing that upsets a Libra moon is injustice of any kind. Don’t be surprised if they’re activists for social justice or always rooting for the underdog. In terms of making them happy, this Venus-ruled sign loves all things culture, beauty, and art, as well as being in balanced environments where everyone is getting along. Because Libra moons are so good at seeing all sides of an issue, however, Roby Antila explains that they can be pretty indecisive. “It’s like a double-edged sword because they can see both sides, so there’s a lot of gray area with Libra—they’re not a super-black-and-white personality,” she adds. They can also become very preoccupied with their relationships (which we’ll touch on more shortly), which Roby Antila says will likely be one of their biggest areas of growth throughout their lives. “The shadow side of this moon is there can be codependency, so it’s, like, hard for these people to be single or alone,” she says. And while they do tend to fall in love quickly and easily, she adds, they’re not always ones for commitment and prefer to keep things as light and low-pressure as possible. This can be frustrating for interested suitors, but getting an air sign to settle down has never been easy. To that end, Roby Antila tells mindbodygreen, if you want to woo a Libra moon, you’ll want to be well polished, well dressed, and into things that are culturally relevant, like music or art. They also really value balance, and that includes in their relationships with others. “A Libra moon would give love by listening, but then they need a partner who will also listen to them,” Pennington previously noted. Once they’re in a relationship, boundaries are going to be the most important thing for this moon sign to keep in check. “They’re so overly concerned with what their partner is thinking, and they want to bring that balance—but at the same time, they need to find their own peace. It’s a constant back-and-forth with them,” she says. As Roby Antila tells mindbodygreen, when she thinks of Libra moons, she thinks of them as people in public relations, meditating, counseling (especially couples’ counseling), fashion and style, the judicial system, and even cultural things like music, museums, or the arts in general. A position in which they can flex their strengths as the accommodating diplomats they are will make them feel fulfilled, and if it’s a job that relates to a higher cause, even better. All that said, your midheaven in your birth chart typically relates more to your career mission in life, so your moon sign is only one piece of the puzzle to factor in.
