Before deciding on any matter, Libra feels compelled to hear both sides. This sense of fairness makes them a good mediator: the person who sits down between two arguing friends, listens to both, then suggests a middle ground is usually a Libra. They are gentle, know how to pay a well-timed compliment and soften the mood in a room; they very rarely raise their voice.
