Libra
(September 23 - October 22)
Libra/Aries
You’re a natural negotiator, Libra, and you’re also something of a money magnet. You can use your charm and savvy to negotiate better wages, contracts and interest rates for yourself and your Aries partner. You two can make a strong financial team, as long as you take care to emphasize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses. Bold Aries is attracted to aggressive, high-risk investment strategies that may pay off big. But if your inner peacekeeper takes over, Libra, you might become a pushover in the face of Aries’s big, brash energy -- even if you aren’t comfortable with the financial scheme they’re planning. Furthermore, you have expensive tastes, and Aries often makes impulse purchases, both of which can lead to mounting debt. Hiring a financial advisor or accountant might be an important part of managing your shared assets.
Libra/Taurus
You and your Taurus partner are both ruled by Venus, planet of love and money, so you could have very good luck in your financial affairs. You both seem to draw money without even trying, and Taurus is a natural at accounting, budgeting and working hard to bring in a good paycheck. For your part, Libra, you can use your charm and diplomatic skills in negotiating everything from excellent interest rates from your loan officer to bargains at the car dealership. Still, your mutually expensive tastes and self-indulgent personalities may cause trouble. Attuned to beauty, you both enjoy splurging on artwork, furniture, high-end culinary delights -- anything to make your home, business or lifestyle more luxurious. You’ll rack up credit card debt if you aren’t careful, so be sure to set a realistic budget and stick to it.
Libra/Gemini
Since you’re both cerebral Air signs, you and your Gemini partner might enjoy learning about different investment strategies and researching various ways to manage and grow your assets. Plus, you tend to have good luck with money, Libra. But translating your many ideas into concrete, workable plans is another matter altogether. Neither one of you is particularly decisive; you’re always trying to please others, while Gemini is easily distracted and finds it difficult to stick to a budget or see long-term savings plans through to the end. Taking charge of your shared finances may be up to you, Libra. If so, use your balanced nature to ensure your assets stay in balance as well. After all, with Gemini’s impulse buying and your expensive, self-indulgent tastes, mounting credit card debt could become a real problem.
Libra/Cancer
Because of your differing attitudes toward money, you and your Cancer partner may experience tension over finances. Cancer might accuse you of spending too much on unnecessary items, and you might feel unfairly limited by their conservative budgeting style. Mutual understanding and compassion are necessary here. Remembering that Cancer’s main concern is security may help you curtail your spending more willingly in order to go along with their savings and retirement plans. And Cancer should remember that your spending habits are partly a reflection of your creative, artistic sensibility, which you also employ in keeping your shared home or office both attractive and comfortable. Above all, don’t let tensions fester. Neither of you likes to argue, so when it comes to financial management, don’t withdraw into strained silence; instead, keep communications flowing.
Libra/Leo
Considering your creative personality, your Leo partner’s champagne taste and your mutual indulgent streaks, managing your finances could be a difficult task for you two. Credit card debt may be a real issue, because spending money you don’t have is far easier than paying off those balances in full each month. As a peacekeeping, indecisive Libra, you may have trouble setting a realistic budget and sticking to it, so Leo may have to manage your shared assets. Alternatively, you might hire a financial advisor to help you keep things in order. However, you can also capitalize on your strengths. Libra, you can draw on your natural charm to negotiate better interest rates on loans or prices on real estate purchases. And Leo is dedicated to your shared long-term prospects, and can come up with creative yet viable ways to invest your money.
Libra/Virgo
When it comes to your spending habits, you may feel under a microscope due to your Virgo partner’s critical, frugal nature. You enjoy splurging on artwork, gourmet food, books, records -- things you consider essential to a life well lived, but which Virgo likely sees as unnecessary luxuries that strain your budget. You might depend on your credit cards, but meanwhile, Virgo is tearing their hair out over your refusal to leave the plastic at home and resist impulse buys. To work out your differences, you may need to let Virgo manage your shared assets, since they’re a natural at accounting and their investment strategies tend to be viable, if a bit conservative. But in the spirit of compromise, make sure they build some extra room into the budget for your personal expenses.
Libra/Libra
It’s a good thing Libras often attract money naturally, because you and your spouse both have a hard time resisting temptations like stylish outfits, snappy new cars and pieces of artwork or furniture that make your home or office more beautiful and comfortable. You both like surrounding yourselves with things that express your artistic, creative sides. And if that costs a little money, so be it. But you can also be indecisive, so growing your assets as a team can be difficult. Choosing the right investment strategy is a real task, as is deciding it’s time to move on to a more lucrative job or career. Try to be realistic about your financial future, so you can make solid decisions together rather than frittering your money away on meaningless material items.
Libra/Scorpio
Your Scorpio partner is naturally shrewd in money matters, and their primary focus is protecting your shared assets. Thus, they may assume the role of accountant, which is fine with you; you enjoy learning about investment strategies and other financial affairs, but when it comes to implementing those strategies, you’re indecisive at best. You have expensive tastes, so consumer debt could become an issue if you aren’t careful about sticking to a budget. Working with Scorpio on setting that budget should be easy enough for you, since getting along is one of your top priorities. Your partner can be intense in their expectations, but you have enough charm and good humor to keep things balanced between you as you hash out your finances.
Libra/Sagittarius
You enjoy increasing your knowledge about financial strategies, Libra, but even more than that, you enjoy splurging on clothes, artwork and the many other items that make life worth living. You have expensive tastes and the self-indulgent streak to match, and while you’re something of a money magnet, you may still have issues with credit card debt. Your Sagittarius partner may not be much help in this area; like you, they have so many other interests that asset-management doesn’t rate high on the list. You two might consider hiring an accountant or financial advisor who can help you keep your affairs in order and recommend savings or investment strategies that will work for you.
Libra/Capricorn
You aren’t overly concerned with money matters, Libra. You tend to attract it when you need it -- a blessing from your sign’s ruling planet, Venus -- and you enjoy spending it, even if you have to rely on credit. It’s a good thing you have your Capricorn partner around; with their practical, innate grasp of finances, they actually enjoy balancing a budget and keeping up with accounting duties. Problems may arise, however, when your spending habits make Capricorn uptight and unreasonable. Since you can’t stand tension, you might try to put on a happy face, but it would be better to use your natural diplomacy skills to arrive at a compromise. Build some extra room into your shared budget for personal expenses, and then make a real effort to live within your means.
Libra/Aquarius
Traditional financial concerns like savings or retirement funds may not concern you or your Aquarius partner as much as a financial profile that reflects your mutual creativity and widely varying interests. Still, Aquarius, especially, may have some tricks up their sleeve for your shared future. They’re more attuned than you are to future concerns, but they do prefer making progressive plans, like investing in green or humanitarian companies, to taking the traditional, well-traveled route toward financial security. Try to work together, though, because with your love of splurging on personal indulgences and Aquarius’s tendency to get involved in speculative ventures -- which don’t always pan out -- mounting debt could become an issue for you two.
Libra/Pisces
Artwork, stylish clothes and furniture, books and records; these are the things that make life worth living, so you don’t mind spending money on them. Still, you may rely too heavily on your credit cards and have a hard time paying off those balances each month. Though your Pisces partner isn’t as self-indulgent as you are, they may have an even harder time managing their finances. They aren’t a natural money magnet like you, plus they’re dreamy and forgetful. Tasks like paying bills on schedule elude them, and when it comes to number crunching or researching investment strategies, Pisces easily gets overwhelmed. Thus, you may have to work against nature and take on the accounting duties in this duo. At least you find it interesting to increase your knowledge of various financial terms and schemes!
