The birth sign of the September 27th Zodiac is Libra, also known as the celestial balance. Libras are wonderful people who are excellent to have as friends — but difficult to have as enemies.
If you were born on September 27th, it’s essential that you start to understand your identity as a Libra. Libras are often very mysterious to outsiders — and also to the Libras themselves, though they may not agree that this is the case.
The key to understanding life as a Libra is to see that finding balance is a habit with benefits but also consequences.
Lifestyles that help the Libra to feel like they are in control can ease their anxiety but also crimp their opportunities. Alternatively, people who make the Libra feel secure can also indulge the Libra’s misperceptions.
In this article, you’ll learn what makes Libras into the considerate, level-headed, and responsible people that they are.
Paired Planet
The sign of Libra is paired with Venus. Venus is a highly visible fixture in the sky, but it’s nearly impossible to perceive its stormy surface from afar — much like with Libras.
Venus contributes to the Libra’s ability to be generous — but also their ability to be tempestuous.
Paired Element
Libras are paired with the element of air. This means that like the air, Libras can lift others — or blow against them during a prolonged confrontation.
It’s important to remember that air is very visible when moving clouds as wind, but it isn’t always the case that air is easy to notice. Air surrounds everything in everyday life, and is often depended upon implicitly to be around.
Libras may feel that they are taken for granted, much like their paired element. This can lead to blustering squalls of disruption, forcing other people to recognize that the Libra is essential.
Personality Traits of the September 27 Zodiac
Libras are characterized by a handful of different personality traits. These traits aren’t perfectly consistent from Libra to Libra, but on the whole, Libras fit into the same mold: seeking balance and minimizing disruption.
Positive Traits
Libras have a handful of positive personality traits, including:
- Being very caring towards those they rely on
- Having high emotional intelligence
- Enjoying planning for the future
- Being patient
Most Libras tend to use these traits extensively in the course of their personal and professional lives. This collection of traits makes Libras into excellent mentors, a role which Libras are quick to step into because they often enjoy it.
In comparison to other signs, Libras are more self-aware of their virtues. They’re also very self-aware of their neutral traits, which they may incorrectly consider to be weaknesses.
On the whole, Libras keep their positive traits covert until they can be sure that they will get an equal reception when they engage with someone else.
Neutral Traits
Libras have too many neutral traits to list, but some of their neutral traits include:
- Having picky tastes in food
- Thinking about the world using internal rules
- Seeking balance and tranquility in everyday life
- Being pragmatic rather than idealistic
These neutral traits shape the lives of Libras more than they might want to admit. Indeed, rather than being defined by their positive or negative traits, Libras are the easiest to spot on the basis of their neutral traits.
The main reason why this is the case is that Libras may intentionally or unintentionally hide their positive traits, but can rarely hide their neutral or negative traits. Neutral traits are the overt manifestations of other underlying Libra traits.
Thus, other people end up interacting with the Libra on the basis of neutral traits before they get to know the Libra a bit better and start to perceive some of the interpersonal warmth they are known for.
On the other hand, sometimes people who get to know a Libra get to realize the latent hostility which they can sometimes harbor towards people who they find troublesome.
From afar, neutral traits seem likely to define the course of a Libra’s life. In the view of Libras, however, the reasons behind their neutral traits tend to be a blind spot in their self-image even if the neutral traits themselves are perceived clearly.
Negative Traits
Like all astrological signs, Libras are not perfect. Libras tend to suffer from a handful of negative traits, including being:
- Easily made anxious by uncertainty
- Easily becoming jealous
- Easily becoming lonely
- Reluctant to let people go
Notably, being reluctant to let people go could also be interpreted as the positive trait of loyalty. For Libras, however, this reluctance is borne out of a sense of possessiveness as a result of latent jealousy and often entitlement.
Other negative traits like becoming anxious in the face of uncertainty provide fuel for positive traits like loving to plan for the future. This anxiety also stokes the flames of neutral Libra traits like being pragmatic — sometimes to the detriment of the Libra.
Many Libras have developed their sense of pragmatism to reduce the anxiety of handling abstract concepts or working towards ideals which they may not be able to attain or make meaningful progress toward.
As a result, Libras are often ready to settle for self-limiting outcomes because they would rather have the certainty of a conclusion which they can come to terms with — an eventuality which they probably planned for at the start — rather than the possibility of a home run in the future.
Libras are more aware of the fact that they’re anxious than they are aware of their other negative traits.
While Libras may not be able to articulate their other negative traits, they’re sure to pragmatically develop working practices to compensate. For example, after intuitively understanding that they may become jealous, Libras might scold their loved ones for provoking jealousy.
September 27 Zodiac Quirks
Libras tend to have a few quirks, most of which are covert.
Libra quirks include:
- Seeking to explain new things in the context of old mental models
- Remaining reserved with new people
- Preferring transactional leadership styles in a superior
- Disliking transformational changes
- Enjoying being in nature
- Believing in a religion but not evangelizing
- Preferring transparency to privacy
- Appreciating tactfulness from others
These quirks do not necessarily have a huge impact on the lives of Libras. They might make a Libra more comfortable or less comfortable in a given career or lifestyle, however.
Most Libras do the best when they can live in a peaceful area that is not rapidly changing; the same is true for their job choice. In the same vein, Libra romantic prospects need to navigate the sign’s quirks gracefully to succeed.
Romantic Habits of the Libra
Libras tend to be fiercely romantic, and appreciate attentiveness in their lovers. Furthermore, Libras enjoy being showered with attention, and seldom need much time away from their romantic prospects.
As soon as a Libra is enamored with someone, however, they might start to lose their all-important balance. More alarmingly, romance is one of the few areas which can cause Libras to lose their ability to self-reflect regarding their emotional balance.
The combination of these two factors means that Libras can often end up with people who may not give back all of the love that they receive.
While Libras often eventually come around to realize that they haven’t felt entire secure all along, being blinded by love can be powerful.
Libra Compatibility In Friendships And Romance
Libras, despite their internal desire for balance, tend to be opinionated behind closed doors. This means that certain signs will absolutely click with the Libra, whereas others will clash.
Most Compatible Signs
Libras are highly compatible with other signs which they can share their emotional side with. These signs include Leos, Virgos, and Geminis.
Leos bring passion and commitment to the romantic lives of Libras. Libras often enjoy being with someone who is a Leo because it makes them feel alive and helps them to forget their anxieties.
Leos, for their part, are always willing to be gregarious when they detect uncertainty on the part of the Libra. This tends to make them the leader of romantic relationships when paired with a Libra.
Virgos make for natural friends and lovers when paired with a Libra. Virgos have as much love to give as Libras like to receive, and their humble nature makes them unlikely to trigger Libra jealousy or fear of abandonment.
Virgos are also unlikely to rock the boat without good reason, a trait that Libras find attractive as well as valuable in a coworker or friend.
Geminis are also air-elemental and socially adaptable, like the Libras. This means that Geminis can often be great friends for Libras, though the Libra may find their coyness to be off-putting in a romantic relationship.
Least Compatible Signs
Libras are not very compatible with people who are Aries, Pisces, or Aquarius.
Aries is the opposite Zodiac sign of the Libra, and their planetary influence, Mars, conflicts directly with Venus. The self-expressiveness of Aries tends to grate on Libras both interpersonally and professionally.
Furthermore, Libras tend to view Aries as selfish, disruptive, and annoying. Aries seldom have negative opinions regarding Libras, however. In fact, Libras may seem to be somewhat invisible to people with Aries signs, a fact that doubtlessly aggravates the Libras further.
The conflicts between Pisces and Libra are typically sources of confusion for the Libra rather than irritation. Pisces are somewhat inscrutable to Libras because of their ability to go with the flow in the face of uncertainty.
While Pisces and Libras are both covertly deeply emotional and overtly moderately emotional, Pisces tend to be less emotionally affected by events around them.
When paired with their lower level of anxiety and willingness to improvise rather than extensively plan, Pisces tend to violate most of the internal rules that Libras set for themselves.
Thus, while there is unlikely to be any direct conflict between Pisces and Libras, there is unlikely to be any romantic spark or friendship chemistry.
Potentially Incompatible Signs
Libras are a diverse group, so they don’t always find compatibility or opposition based on Zodiac sign alone.
Often, the emotionality of Leos can lead to conflicts with the Libra too, even if the two signs are often very compatible.
The nature of the conflict or cooperation between Leos and Libras is often dependent on the context of the interaction, meaning that Leos may work well for romantic relationships but not as well for friendships or professional relationships.
The impulsivity and bravery which can characterize Leos may lead to them causing disruption, which Libras may take personally. While more restrained, the same traits can cause Libras to be uncomfortable around people who are Sagittarius.
Advice For Libras Born On September 27th
So, given this breakdown of the Libra personality and compatibilities, what should Libras born on September 27th do in the coming months?
The most useful thing for Libras to do is to try to understand how their thoughts and habits shape their life. Digging deeper into Libra psychology helps them to identify places where old fears are curbing new prospects.
Furthermore, Libras should strive to identify areas of balance as stridently as they strive to identify areas of imbalance.
Seeing places to improve upon is one of the Libra’s strengths, but they often neglect to appreciate matters that are settled — aside from their romantic relationships, which they tend to fully appreciate.
Take a few moments to think about the things that are going well. Don’t be afraid to invest a bit more energy than may seem prudent to improve the things that are currently going well.
At the same time, stop settling for less. Being satisfied with a pragmatic result is one of the Libra’s strengths, but the fear of failure often prevents them from pushing harder in solving problems.
Half-solutions are always going to be necessary, but you can usually do a little bit better and give yourself a little bit more peace of mind as a result.
Identify minor problems which you’ve spent some time in fixing, and push them a little bit further.
You don’t need to be pushing for perfection, but you do need to be pushing for better for the sake of your happiness.
