The Virgo Libra Cusp: Dates, Traits & Compatibility
Every year, between September 19 to 25, the sun moves out of Virgo and into the zodiac sign of Libra. The souls born on this Virgo Libra cusp may feel the influence of both Virgo and Libra zodiac signs – and that’s what we’ll be talking about today.
As you feel the energy of both signs in your life, it’s important to know how to decipher them in terms of our strengths, weaknesses, and relationship compatibilities in astrology.
Let’s start with Libra.
Libra Zodiac Sign
As a cardinal sign, Ruling Planet Venus brings all the Libra energy to bear on making decisions and setting goals for yourself. In other words, you may have lots of ideas about where you want to go in life, but it takes some time to actually get there.
Libra energy is all about harmony. If you allow Libra to make your decisions for you, you may be less effective at choosing which steps to take in order to achieve that goal. You have a sweet nature and are very empathetic, but it’s important that you don’t let yourself get taken advantage of while trying to find that balance.
One of the best parts about having both Libra and Virgo energy in your chart is that it makes you very easy to get along with, which can open up all kinds of opportunities for socializing and career advancement.
Virgo Zodiac Sign
Virgo (earth sign) energy is great because it allows us to take action. In fact, it can sometimes drive us a little too far into action because we lose sight of how our actions affect others.
If you have a Virgo Moon or Ascendant, you may be a perfectionist and overly critical of yourself. This can lead to the tendency to self-sabotage.
At its worst, this is when everything falls apart entirely and mistakes are made. At its best, it simply means that you should get comfortable with failing from time to time if it means gaining important life experience in return for mistakes made along the way. After all, even geniuses make mistakes!
Now let’s talk about the positive and negative personality traits that a Virgo-Libra cusp woman or man may have.Â
Strengths of a Virgo Libra Cusp
- Communicative. Your intelligence, curiosity, and courteousness come together to make you a wonderful conversationalist. You’re able to explain your thoughts and understandings to others in a friendly and easy-to-digest manner, which is an incredibly powerful skill that will help you in your career.
- Artistic. A Virgo-Libra Cusp is an artist at heart with a natural sense of creativity. You always find unique ways to express yourself, try new things, and can probably create something beautiful for someone else to enjoy, even if it’s only in the form of an insightful conversation.
- Easygoing. Your agreeable nature and love for balance mean that you’re easy to get along with and you don’t like drama! You’ll find a way to resolve conflict and keep relationships intact.
- Extroverted. You’re a very social and approachable individual who likes to make friends, take risks, and be the center of attention hoping to inspire.
Weaknesses of a Virgo Libra Cusp
- Perfectionist. As explained above, a Virgo-Libra cusp has a tendency to be too critical of oneself when in reality you’re just beginning your journey in life. Allow yourself to fail every now and then if it means that you’ll gain the insight needed to succeed next time around.
- Selfish. You may not realize it, but sometimes you only think of yourself and your own needs without considering how they affect others because you’re so busy pursuing your own destiny. Sometimes, we all need a little push in the right direction from someone else.
- Dependent. You can be clingy and needy in relationships (no matter how picky you are in selecting your partner) because you’re afraid of being alone or not getting what you need.
- Materialistic. Virgo-Libra cusp individuals may be tempted to place more emphasis on having the perfect home, newest items, or top-notch career than on cultivating your spiritual side. Your values are likely skewed toward the materialistic world, which can lead to unfulfilled happiness and a lack of appreciation for life.
Relationship compatibility of Virgo Libra cusp people
When it comes to relationships, the Virgo Libra cusp people are very easy to get along with and can be both romantic and platonic. While you may not always agree on everything (and that’s okay), most people will like you because they feel like they’re heard when speaking with you.
You can come off as fickle because you tend to seek out people who are very different than you in order to challenge yourself and broaden your horizons.
In terms of love compatibility, the best matches for this Virgo-Libra cusp are Sagittarius, Capricorn, Taurus, and Scorpio, where there’s a mutual understanding and shared values that make it easy to get comfortable with each other.Â
Your worst matches will probably be Aries and Leo – who will see you as being too intense or controlling, even if that is not your intention. Overall, there’s a personality disconnect that Virgo-Libra cusps would rather not deal with.
All in all, you will need someone who is able to provide you with stability without feeling suffocated by your closeness, can handle your perfectionistic tendencies, and will be patient with you.
Putting your Virgo Libra Cusp energy into action
Since the Virgo Libra Cusp is a time of reflection for many people, you might be wondering how to improve your life.
The first thing to do is look back on everything that has happened since September 19th and acknowledge all that you have accomplished since then. If there are areas where you want to grow, then start making a list of practical steps toward reaching those goals. Be patient with yourself as well – if things didn’t go according to plan, don’t beat yourself up about it! Just keep moving forward.
To get the most out of this time, you should know that your ruler Mercury is currently to its detriment! This means that it’s a good time to re-evaluate your goals and take a step back from any areas where you may be struggling.
If you want a fresh perspective on things, consider going for a walk outside or going somewhere new to think. You may feel like you’ve hit a wall with your current plans, but trust that you’ll find a way to resolve conflict and keep relationships intact. Your critical mind will be at its best, so don’t ignore it!
It might not always come up with amazing ideas, but if you’re aware of what could go wrong then it will be easier to prevent failure.
