Traditional astrological wisdom holds that Libras are most compatible with Gemini, Leo, Libra Sagittarius and Aquarius, and least compatible with Aries, Cancer, Capricorn and Pisces. But what do the actual marriage and divorce statistics say?
Mathematician Gunter Sachs conducted a large-scale study of sun signs and found statistically significant results on a number of measures. Marriage and divorce findings are outlined below.
Libra women are most likely to marry Taurus and Libra men, and to divorce Leos. Although Leo is theoretically a compatible sign, Libra flirtatiousness and Leo’s need to be the center of attention may not always mix well in a romantic relationship. Libra women are least likely to divorce Libra men.
There is a good foundation for the Libra-Taurus match. Although there are some differences between the two signs, both are laid back and not inclined toward argument. They share a love of domestic harmony and a need for comfortable and beautiful surroundings. Libra women appreciate Taurean strength and decisiveness, while Tauruses value Libran refinement and class. A particular benefit with this pairing is that accommodating Libras are less likely to provoke the infamous Taurean stubbornness.
Libra women are least likely to marry Pisces men. Given that Pisces tends toward extremes and Libra craves balance, it is unsurprisingly that this pairing makes it to the altar less frequently.
Best Match
The best long-term love match for a Libra is another Libra, although Taurus is a particularly good sign for Libra women as well. The most difficult match for a Libra is probably an Aries, though these two signs are often attracted to each other.
Study Findings and Traditional Astrological Predictions
For the most part, the study findings for Libra are in line with traditional astrological predictions. Libras of both genders are inclined to marry and stay with other Libras. Libra men are more inclined to divorce women of their opposite sign, Aries, while Libra women tend to avoid marrying the incompatible sign of Pisces.
However, the above-average divorce rate between the theoretically compatible signs of Libra and Leo goes against traditional astrological predictions. Also, although Taurus and Libra aren’t considered exceptionally incompatible, they have not traditionally been considered a good match either, yet higher-than-average numbers of Libra women and Taurus men make it to the altar.
... i won't go for taurus firstly because i can't outstubborn a conservative bull. look, i know i have a taurus ascendant and that would be like "whee!" sun+asc conjunction. but male taureans i met were never my thing. never had a taurus love interest, actually. and another libra? that's odd, feels like looking in a mirror and it lacks a certain spark.
