Although I hate generalizing sun signs so much...For some reason I imagine libra better with leo as some kind of power-couple or for kinship, while gemini and aquarius makes total sense to me, theyre both very intellectually curious and zany. Libra and leo seem perfect for eachother because in my mind its like the princess and the prince. Libra seems to lack that uniqueness or zeal that i seem to associate more with geminis and aquarians, theyre very pleasant and all but they seem to be more concerned with appearing tasteful and harmonious whereas gems and aquas are like, the zany geeks of the zodiac who appreciate the weird quirks that librans tend to turn their nose up to IP: Logged |

Well Gemini and Aquarius are both ruled by intellectual planets, while Venus isn't too associated with the intellect besides idealism. Also as stated by someone else, Mercury's higher octave is Uranus. So therefore, Mercury and Uranus have a connection from the start.It's also different with Air signs. As Air signs have a free mind, which can mean they can have completely different minds and possibilities with ways of thinking. Since it is Air and is freely able to interpret things themselves. Opposed to all the other elements, which are rather static in nature with each other's elements. That's what I think, at least. But either way, there is no "odd one out", as they're the 3 Air signs of the Zodiac. IP: Logged |

Don't forget Saturn! It's not just a matter of Venus ruling Libra, it's also Saturn is exalted here and has more to do with logic than Mercury. Mercury is about communication, not logic per se.

Yeah, but I am just explaining it with the rulerships. The exaltations/debilitations would be after as an extra component and not interfering with the natural scheme. IP: Logged |

Nooo the exalted planet has tremendous influence on the sign!! People just overlook it in favor of the traditional ruler but it is actually involved in the highest evolved expression of the sign. Highly evolved Libra is concerned with logic, profundity and justice of all kinds. The law which is also where you see Saturn, Lord of Law and Karma. All Mercury does is communicate. It's not logical at all. It can communicate anything, including logical ideas or thoughts, but it isn't the process of using logic. That's Saturn. IP: Logged |

Yeah, but it's not the natural rulership is what I'm saying. So including exaltations would be extra as to how Libra seems to be the "odd one out" against the other Air signs. I understand what you're saying, though  IP: Logged |

It's strange the way nothing is exalted in Gemini or Aqua. Saturn is supposed to do okay in signs like Gemini and Virgo while in Libra it has a civilizing influence. The cool, detached, civilized elitist who enjoys culture at it's highest, like ballet and opera. Could be considered quite a snob.

Well Lilith and Ceres are supposedly exalted in Gemini (I disagree with Ceres, but that's another topic). Not planets, but you know what I mean. I have Lilith in Gemini, lol. Saturn does excellent in Virgo, I think. One of the best placements for Saturn. IP: Logged |

I think this is a very interesting thread... Mostly because it's dead on for me too. I haven't really given it much thought but most of my very best friends are geminis really. I used to really gravitate towards cancer when I was younger, but that's been changing. I'm cancer moon though, so that could explain it.I do get along great with libras, and do have some great libra friends. But I think sometimes they are too balanced for me. Oh they are super intellectual and I love that, but my aqua needs to stir things up a bit and they just won't have it. They are too cautious about everything. What I go for in guys is a completely different story than in friendships. I'm not attracted to the other air signs at all, it would feel kind of incestuous I think. Plus I like a challenge in a guy, and air signs are not it for me. IP: Logged |

I'm a Gemini and I don't really have any Libra or Aquarius friends. The majority of my friends are water and earth signs, those elements are most dominant in my chart. With Libras and Aquarius, I just don't feel a connection.------------------ http://astrologicallyyours.com/ IP: Logged |

Strange that Gemini's are usually the ones that I personally don't get along with very well. What's odd is yes I have Libra Rising, but Gemini moon. Nothing in Aqua. Although I don't know many Aqua's there's a guy at work and we have a lot of fun joking around. Gemini's.... IDK what the deal is. That's just me though so no need for butthurting. IP: Logged |

Well, Virgo is cautious and critical and Scorpio wants nothing but intense feelings so many Libras are going to have those signs in their charts. They sort of cancel out the airy-ness of Libra. I have Virgo in Mercury and a full 8th house (so I am more like a Scorp) and I find Gemini and Aqua too airy...and I'm an Aqua rising! I have a lot of air in my chart but the strong mercury placement and packed 8th house cancel my airy-ness out...or at the very least they make me think a lot.IP: Logged |

I'm a libra, I like gems more because they are very childlike and don't judge-easier to get along with. Someone said that they lack true deep knowledge about some subjects. I think thats true -they like to gossip, but I can never hold it against them. Aquarians make me nervous because they pretend not to judge but they are verrrry picky and judgmental of people they get close to. Must be the saturn co ruler IP: Logged |

Other signs play a big part as well as houses. I get along well with pretty much everyone but I don't think I've ever met an Aquarius that I didn't get along with, although I can't say the same about all Libras. I love some of them to death but others just get on my nerves. So, the obvious thing that I'm saying is it depends on other signs. ------------------ Gemini with Scorpio Asc (Pluto in 1st house) "The human body is not a thing or substance given, but a continuous creation.

This is true for my friends. I've mostly seen a Gemini-Aquarius pairing either best friend-wise or relationship-wise. I've never seen an Aquarius-Libra pairing. Even my parents are Gemini and Aquarius. Personally, I think Libra is the most close-minded air sign. I know that all air signs are supposed to be very open-minded, but like I said, Libra is not as open-minded as Aquarius or Gemini. Libra just don't click as instantly with either sign. It's just like me and my best friend. Based on our Ascendants, (she has Libra rising and I have Gemini rising), we didn't instantly connect as friends. The first time we talked, I actually thought she found me as too talkative and loud. While there's my other friend who has Aquarius rising, but me and her instantly clicked. It feels really awkward at first with Libras because you feel like they're judging you. No offense. It's just my observation based on real-life experiences.------------------ Gemini Ascendant Sun in Leo Moon in Cancer Mercury in Virgo Venus in Virgo Mars in Libra "You were born a lion.

I know you know astrology much better than I do and yet you generalize so stupidly when it comes to Libra. Any chance to dig at libra you take it. Mercury would be more for communication anyway wouldn't it? Let's not forget that there are two, one delivering and one receiving. I don't know what Libra hurt you and gave you this massive wedgie but pull it out and leave the butthurt alone. LOL It'll heal. Maybe you should see an astrologically knowledgeable psych to sort your issues out. I'm not one and can still see clearly that you have things to work out within yourself. I'd hate to know you in person. You probably have issues from 3 years ago that you haven't let go of. LOL IP: Logged |

It's absolutely nuts that you say that. I'm a gemini and my brother is an Aquarius, I can't stand that he is deployed now. I miss him a lot....lol also i actually know a Leo/Libra friendship that works exactly like you described or pretty close to it. The leo and libra are my friends. ..lol, i think it's nuts that you mentioned that. Thanks
