Drake is a Scorpio

There’s a reason why only Drake could have come up with the favorite millennial term #YOLO: he’s a Scorpio. Duh. Scorpios are powerful, emotional, confident, and all about living that YOLO mentality. So here’s to you, Aubrey Drake Graham. Here's why Drake makes the perfect Scorpio. Just hold on, I’m coming home (with you).

He’s charismatic 

He CONCEALS his emotions

But when he feels like expressing them, you get the whole range

He accomplished his goals 

He loves power and won't stop til he has enough

But most of all, a Scorpio can and will impact you for the rest of your life

Happy birthday, Drizzy!

How to Domesticate Your Libra

Let them decorate

Libra needs to live in an aesthetically harmonious environment, so you'll want to let them take the lead on the tchachki game.

Stay social!

The key word for Libra of course is balance, so don't let your own desire for eternal domestic bliss (looking at you, Cancer) bog down your airy partner's need to socialize. A quiet night in with a movie is of course always a winner, but a fabulous dinner party or a night out on the town mustn't be taken off the table.

Art, art, art, art, art

Take this partnership as an opportunity to stay on top of the art scene, as your Libra lover will require plenty of artistic engagement. A trip to the museum or a concert is always a good call.

Libra needs space

Libras go through spurts of nonstop creative flow followed by rest periods, during which they must be given permission to move through life at a more languid pace. Do not try to rush a Libra during this down time, or they might unhinge. 

Stay on top of finances

Whereas Libra gets to take the lead on all things aesthetic, if you are a business-minded person you may want to take on some of the practical affairs which tend to burden Libra's airborne spirit. That's not to say that all Libras are bad with money or anything, but their penchant for excess could be problematic if not kept in check!

Embrace the back and forth

If the Libra's need to hash out a thought on an endless hypothetic cycle of dialogue bothers you, you might want to run for the hills. You must be open to Libra's expressive communication and devil's advocating and remember that it's not personal when they question your reasoning; they just need to think everything through.

Anniversary Gifts for a Libra

Let’s say you’re in a relationship and it’s that time of the year again: anniversary season. Let’s also say you’re dating a Libra and when you ask them what they want, they’ll probably just respond, “I don’t know”...#typical.

Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and luxury, Libra has good taste and high expectations, so here's what we suggest you do on your Libraversary.

1. TICKETS TO SEE HE NAMED ME MALALA.

Intellectual and justice-minded Libra will love Malala's inspirational story.

2. FOR YOUR FEMALE LIBRA, A GIFT FROM REFORMATION.

Luxurious, fashionable, and eco-conscious, Reformation makes the clothes that every girl wants to wear. Libra will love the mission and the fashion behind these amazing garments.

3. FOR YOUR MALE LIBRA, A GIFT FROM JACK THREADS

4. PEDAL BOAT RENTAL

A little anniversary 'nature' getaway for the less nature minded among us.

5. THEIR FAVORITE PERFUME OR COLOGNE

Libra loves to look good, and they know that personal style extends to scents too.

6. SUBSCRIPTION TO GQ

With some of the best magazine writing out there right now, and a focus on men who other men want to be and who women want to be with, a GQ subscription will keep your Libra happy all year round.

Oscar Wilde Was a Libra

"I have nothing to declare but my genius."

AESTHETIC WAS HIS EVERYTHING.

This outfit....and THIS one of him AS Salome:

HE WAS ALL ABOUT EXCESS.

"The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. I can resist everything but temptation"

HE VALUED FAIRNESS.

Oscar Wilde refused to flee to France in spite of the grimly strong chance the Trial charging him with "Acts of Gross Indecency" would not end in his favor. 

THIS WAS HIS (EVIL) LOVER

AND THIS IS HIS LOVER PLAYED BY JUDE LAW:

WHAT LIBRA COULD RESIST???

To be frank, Lord Alfred Douglas (the original Twink) was horrid, but look at that face.

 

Each Sign's Guide to Long Term Success with Libra

At Align, we believe that any two signs can make it work so long as they understand each other's personalities. Libra is the sign of partnership, so it's worth investing in some of these compromises for a long term Libra lovefest.

ARIES: HAVE A "WIN IT" MENTALITY

When Aries and Libra set their minds to something, they commit hard. But then... they kind of lose interest. Both signs must have the same outcome here: we're not quitters. With that intention set, you'll be good to go.

TAURUS: FOCUS ON THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE

Taurus and Libra are ruled by Venus, the planet that rules love, beauty, and luxury. These two will appreciate each other's great taste, and should revel in it as much as possible.

GEMINI: GENTLY REMIND LIBRA YOU'RE HERE TO STAY

Libra has a reputation for being indecisive (fair, tbh), and Gemini is not known to be one of astrology's most committal signs. Like not at all. When Libra decides to partner up, they commit hard - it is the sign of partnership, after all - and they'll need to know Gemini is on the same page.

CANCER: CHECK YOUR JEALOUSY AT THE DOOR

Oh, sweet Cancer. Your heart is really in the right place. But social Libra wants to hang out, get out of the house, meet some new people, and you want to snuggle up and #NetflixAndChill. You'd never tell Libra you're mad, you just assume they can tell you want him or her all to yourself. Libra isn't confrontational either, so addressing this jealousy will get messy and emotional and overwhelming for both of you.

LEO: RETURN THE COMPLIMENTS ONCE IN A WHILE

Libra and Leo are natural pairs because Libra is all about "you" and Leo is all about "me." But sweet Libra needs the love to be returned every once in a while, and everyone knows that generous, loving Leo is more than equipped to throw some sweet nothings Libra's way.

VIRGO: GIVE LIBRA SPACE TO SOCIALIZE

Social Libra and introverted Virgo may have a hard time figuring out what makes for the best Friday night plan. Libra can go pretty much anywhere and talk to pretty much anyone, coming away with 10,000 new friends and three job offers, while Virgo is comfortable with their routine. For Virgo and Libra to work, Virgo has to make sure that Libra has their social outlet. Let them Libra out with their besties while Virgo savors their much cherished alone time. You'll both be happier because of it.

LIBRA: COME UP WITH A DECISION-MAKING PRACTICE

Libra 1: What do YOU want to do?

Libra 2: I don't care. I'll do whatever YOU want to do!

Libra 1: No, but I don't care either. What do YOU want to do?

Libra 2: Seriously. I'll do whatever. What do you think?

Continues on a loop for hours and hours and hours....

Ok team, make up your mind. Figure out a way to say "this time I'll decide, next time you decide," and just know that you'll both be happy doing what you think will make the other happy.

SCORPIO: NIP CONFLICT IN THE BUD

Libra avoids conflict at all cost. Scorpio avoids conflict too ... or so we think. They're actually plotting serious revenge in a way that will cut you straight to your core. Libra and Scorpio can be a beautiful partnership, just make sure that before Scorpio heads down Revenge Road, you're addressing issues early on. Before they bubble up and the body count goes up. 

SAGITTARIUS: TRAVEL AND GET LOST TOGETHER

Libra and Sag are two of the most curious, intellectual signs there are. As romantic partners, these two often begin as best buds. Take adventures together, explore, make sure your brains and body both stay stimulated.

CAPRICORN: DEFINE ROLES

Libra is a thinker, and Capricorn is a doer. You both lead in your own way, but you have to set the roles to make this work. Capricorn will need structure and Libra needs balance, but when you figure out the right matrix, you'll be able to make it work.

AQUARIUS: PICK YOUR BATTLES

Aquarius is the zodiac's rebel. You have your beliefs and you stand up for what you believe is truly right. Libra has a similar motivator in life, but reallllly doesn't want to fight about it. You both care a lot about what you think is fair and right in situations, and when it comes to your relationship, remember that you both are doing what you're doing because you truly believe it to be the fair thing to do. Start conversations from there.

PISCES: AVOID THE SILENT TREATMENT

Libra and Pisces are both generous, loving partners who will do anything for each other. You deal with conflict differently. Libra avoids by not talking and internalizing, causing Pisces to feel super hurt and emotional about Libra's non-communication. Pisces, frustrated and hurt but not wanting to hurt Libra's feelings by bringing anything up, will swim away. Silence is your worst enemy! Talking is hard, but not talking is even harder.

Sex with a Libra

Everyone loves Libras.  It's hard not to! They're aesthetic, fair-minded, and flirtatious af.  So when it comes to matters between the sheets (i.e. s-e-x), Libras stay true to their scales: they're all about equilibrium.

So how do you achieve sexual balance with a Libra? It's more than just 69-ing (though we're not mad at that either). Here are some tried-and-true tips on how to how to get sexy with your air sign lover.

1. SENSUAL SEDUCTION.

Libras are ruled by Venus, so they're sensual beings. Libras don't go straight for intercourse (we see you, Aries). They prefer to start off with a sexy battle of the wits, or perhaps some scandalous heavy petting. 

2. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

Civilized Libras are not going to do it just anywhere. Time, place, and etiquette are essential factors for these air signs. Needless to say, Libras are definitely not prudish, so as long a sense of decorum is maintained, these air signs may get off getting down in unconventional places. May we recommend a little backseat action?

3. TALK DIRTY 2 ME.

We cannot reiterate enough: Libras are THE MOST FLIRTATIOUS SIGN OF THE ZODIAC. Write it down and say it five times right now so you never forget. There is very little you can do to match Libras' level of charm and finesse, but a little sexy talk with these air signs will be sure to get them riled up and realize they're not the only ones who know how to seduce.

4. KEEP IT CLEAN.

Cleanliness is next to godliness for our Libra loves. Indulge their aesthetic impulses and take a steamy shower together. Cleaning each other head to toe is a huge turn on for this sultry, hygienic sign.

5. RETURNING FAVORS.

Libras are people pleasers. While this may frustrate Libra's partner at times, it definitely comes in handy in the bedroom (or shower, or backseat...). Libras will stop at nothing to play fair, so enjoy your Libra lovers innate desire to please. Do something nice for Libra, and they'll be sure to return the favor.
