You are something of a cosmopolitan, and you have the ability to get along with all types of people. You prefer to walk in high social circles, and your friends are people of importance.
You have a good relationship with your parents overall, and may become their caretaker later in life. However, your relationship with your father may become difficult at times. You may not get along at all. Your children will be philanthropic in nature, and you will have much in common with them.
Libra-natives tend to have poorer luck in the realm of romance than those born under other signs. Relationships tend to spark quickly and start off with intense passion — but they may be short-lived or inconsistent. Be sure to find a trustworthy and committed spouse. Otherwise, there is a risk of ending up heartbroken.
