There is no dreamier couple than Libra and Pisces. Libras are immediately tempted by the charm of Pisces, and Pisces will instantly feel the strength of Libra and admire their beauty. When the two most romantic signs of the zodiac decide to unite, they create a magical alchemy that is only possible with this bubbly mixture of air and water.

Many wonder how an intellectual air sign (Libra) and an intuitive water sign (Pisces) can see eye to eye in a partnership. However, what many don’t know is that there is a secret sauce created by the stars that secretly permeates their synastry.

In Hellenistic astrology, there are two “benefic” planets, and Libra and Pisces are ruled by both. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, while Pisces is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance, as well as Neptune, the planet of dreams. When a couple is ruled by positive planets at the same time, it creates many joyful, beautiful and successful exchanges.

Another astrological fact about Venus is that although it is in Libra, it is exalted in Pisces, which is one of the many reasons why this match makes sense. Libra is a cardinal air sign, while Pisces is a mutable water sign. Their modalities also work beautifully together, especially since Libra leads gently compared to the other cardinal signs, making Pisces happy to follow their gentle guidance. However, their various elements can cause certain complications.

In my book Sun signs in love, I’m talking about carefully mixing their elements: when the air meets the water, the air gets agitated, turns and can cause waves in the water, but then quickly moves away, giving the water no control. When water enters the air, it creates humidity and ignites the rain process. Rain is necessary for life and regeneration, over which the air has no power. There is no choice going on in any of the elements, so it is best if these elements appreciate each other’s differences and individual energies.

Even though their elements can cause some obstacles from time to time, it’s nothing they can’t solve with enough love and patience.

Now is also a good time to mention that I am specifically talking about the dynamic between the energies of these two signs, and to get a true sense of the astrological compatibility between two people (aka synastry), their birth charts must be taken into account.
