Charming, Natural Leaders, and Easy-Going: Celebrating 10 Queer Libras

Libras are natural leaders, taking on big cultural moments with confidence in their Libra-motivated commitment to fairness, social justice, and love for their community. The scales that symbolize this star sign represent the balance they strive for: smooth-sailing, bridges built, mended fences, and flexing their diplomatic skills. That's where they find the comfort and harmony that eases their spirits. Their natural charm, emotional intelligence, and talent for persuasion makes Libras the perfect people to bring to both work and on vacation. Though they come across as too easy-going at times, they've got a handle on the mood of the room, and they're in tune with when to step up and calm things down. Libras can manage complicated, tense situations very calmly, but are very indecisive when it comes to deciding on their preferences, and what they need most in the moment.

Even if you're not a Libra, Libra season is a great time for you to try new creative projects: Pick up the instrument you've been wanting to learn, start the art project you've had in your Instagram saved bookmarks for months, or sign up for the dance class you've noticed has begun in your neighborhood. Libra season is the ideal moment to be inspired by queer celebs like Matt Bomer, who personifies Libra charm and grace in all his interviews; Halsey, who is very much a Libra in the way they coordinate an aesthetic to their album releases; Rosalia, who channels the Libra passion for artistry to create one-of-a-kind music that makes everyone want to dance; and Gus Kenworthy, who shone even brighter in his professional career after he came out and was able to be openly queer in the Olympics arena.

Matt Bomer

Libras always know just the right thing to say. They work towards creating a world where everyone is seen and treated fairly, with respect. Libras are also known for their good taste and sense of style and are always looking for ways to make the world a more beautiful place.They seem effortlessly graceful, and immediately charming. You know, the way Matt Bomer charms his way through interviews, press and awards season. He's always impeccably dressed and disarmingly pleasant and calm, embracing those around him with love and patience.

Halsey

A Libra's diplomatic skills and artistic flair allow them to express themselves in ways that resonate deeply with others. Aesthetics are extremely important to Libras, who are noted for their unique style, daring fashion sense, and trendsetting design sensibilities. In true Libra fashion, Halsey has shape-shifting down to an art, aligning her album's aesthetic to a very specific look –vinyl record artwork, haircut and color, makeup technique, and fashion choices all specifically curated to send a message. The musician and actor leans deeply into their Libra nature of overthinking and dissecting emotions to make sense of it, delivering global hit songs and music videos that are works of art in their own right.

Gus Kenworthy

The Olympic athlete and "American Horror Story" actor made a powerful mark on the world and his sport when he came out as gay, and continues to do so by simply being his true self. The Libra spirit of fairness and need for justice to be visible wherever he goes can be seen in the way he talks about the experience of doing press at the Olympics before he came out, when he felt like he was lying even during light-hearted Valentines Day press about his crushes, because he wasn't able to be true to himself. Kenworthy is also an excellent example of Libras succeeding when they're given the opportunity to showcase their talents and leadership qualities as their true selves: He kept winning at sports events after coming out, and continued the winning streak at the next Olympics.

Vico Ortiz

The nonbinary actor and "Our Flag Means Death" favorite frequently refers to their Libra status as a reason for celebration, or indecision. "Considering how much of a Libra I am," they said in an interview, "I tend to approach romance from a more structural standpoint. Before I dive with my heart, my head thinks about it thoroughly." Relatable Libra vibes! Libras are also known to enjoy the attraction with and company of multiple partners before committing quite seriously to their chosen romantic relationships. Vico Ortiz embodies this Libra energy with their openness, lovingly sharing their committed polyamorous relationships with their audience.

Andrew Scott

Libras are known for their charming personalities, and for their natural ability to see all sides of an issue. Andrew Scott has been on record saying he doesn't want to be called "openly gay," rejecting the idea that he's "being defiant by just being exactly who I am." He continued, asking: "Why wouldn't you be open about it?" It's that sense of fairness, of perspective, of social justice and the need for fairness to be extended to everyone that we love about the Libra actor.
