Libra dates typically fall from September 23 to October 22, so in celebration of all things Libra, we’re looking closely at Hollywood’s most famous Libra celebrities—those actors, musicians and notables who epitomize what it’s like to be a Libra. The balanced beautifier of the horoscope family, Libra energy inspires all of us—not just celebrities—to seek peace, harmony and cooperation. And to do it with style and grace. Libra is the seventh of the 12 zodiac signs and we asked the AstroTwins to share a few key Libra personality traits that you’ll find in all of the celebrities and famous people profiled. Ophira and Tali Edut note that, “The essence of Libra energy is charming, lovable, fair, sincere, sharing, beautiful and hopelessly romantic. Negative expressions of Libra energy can be vain, indecisive, melodramatic, manipulative, spoiled and delusional. Libra energy enhances our social graces and turns our attention to beauty and style. As a lofty air sign and a trendsetting cardinal sign, Libra is the romantic idealist of the zodiac, the sign that can be known for acting overly-indulgent at times, but also strives for fairness and equal give and take.” As you read through this list of notable Libra celebrities, see if you can identify those who completely typify your classic Libra personality.
