Libra-Scorpio Cusp: Real, Honest & Intense

What happens when charming, diplomatic, social Libra starts to blend into its neighboring sign, the intense, mysterious, and introverted Scorpio? People born on the Libra and Scorpio cusp (and the people who love them) know. Libra-Scorpio cuspers are usually born in the last few days of when the sun is in Libra (anywhere from October 21-23), and their personalities are often a blend of these two neighboring signs.

The Libra-Scorpio cusp is known as the "Cusp of Drama and Criticism." Libra-Scorpios are charming and seductive but also vocal, real, honest, and tenacious. They are a complex mixture of sugar and spice, excitement and drama.

Some might even say Libra-Scorpios can be a bit nosy. They're observant, analytical, and curious, wanting to know everything. They have a sixth sense of what lies beneath the surface of social interactions.

The expression "iron fist in a velvet glove" perfectly describes a Libra-Scorpio cusper. They're cloak-and-dagger Libras who often hide their strength and power beneath a bright and charming veneer. 

Libra-Scorpios are communicators and critical thinkers who are gifted at ferreting out the good and bad in others and aren't afraid to be openly honest, even if their openness gets them into trouble.

Libra-Scorpios are captivating individuals who can excite and draw you to them with their charm and intelligence. But cross them, and they can quickly become unhinged, out of control, and act solely on their emotions.

Libra is ruled by the planet Venus. As the ruler of Libra, Venus is more outgoing, active, intellectual, and interested in justice and fairness. This more egalitarian Venus takes the lead, but the power, passion, and intensity of Pluto and Mars — Scorpio's rulers — underlie her Venusian endeavors.

Additionally, Libra-Scorpios were born in the Gemini Decan of Libra, ruled by Mercury, the messenger and trickster planet of the zodiac. Combining these three planets can create an intelligent, magnetic individual who possesses the power of seduction and is quick to say exactly what's on their mind.

Libra is naturally a romantic anyway (after all, they're ruled by Venus), but when you start to mix in Scorpio's emotional, seductive, and super sexual nature, you get someone who is totally dedicated to romance and love. They're magnetic people who will draw potential lovers to them like moths to a flame. 

Libra is an air sign, which means they already have a high mental capacity. But when you mix in the energy of one of the zodiac's smartest signs and deepest thinkers, Scorpio, you get a super-charged, super-smart Libra. 

Combine Libra's natural charm and diplomacy with Scorpio's deep competitive streak. Add in a dash of Scorpio's win-at-all-costs Machiavellian nature. Finish with a pinch of Libra's natural grace, and you have the master negotiator that is Libra-Scorpio. 

In matters of love and romance, Libra-Scorpio cuspers should stay miles away from possessive individuals. It's likely a Libra would be the best match for a Libra-Scorpio, because Libra is one of the least possessive signs of the zodiac. These two can easily talk about their inner feelings, fantasies, and wishes with each other.

Plus, they're both open lovers who believe in unconventional love and can move on quickly if the relationship falters.

A great example of the Libra-Scorpio personality is Kamala Harris, born on October 20, 1964, with her Sun at 28°14" Libra. With her Libra intelligence, sharp debate skills, and affable personality, backed up by the powerful and tenacious fighting spirit of Scorpio, she became a political voice to be reckoned with.

Other famous Libra-Scorpios include: 

• Kim Kardashian: October 21, 1980, Sun 28°29" Libra
• Catherine Deneuve: October 22, 1943, Sun 28°14" Libra
• Deepak Chopra: October 22, 1946, Sun 28°25" Libra
• Benjamin Netanyahu: October 21, 1949, Sun 27°34" Libra
• Pelé: October 21, 1940, Sun 27°31" Libra

When light and airy Libra mixes with emotional and intense Scorpio, you get a fascinating combo of light and dark, yin and yang. Along with charm and beauty, Libra-Scorpio cuspers are deeply introspective and incredibly magnetic, making them compelling charmers.
