Charming, Natural Leaders, and Easy-Going: Celebrating 10 Queer Libras
Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 12 MIN.
Joe Locke
Though the "Heartstopper" actor has shared in interviews that he doesn't know much about astrology and isn't sure he "believes" in the meanings behind zodiac signs, Joe Locke does seem to lean towards our understanding of Libra personalities. Libras often follow careers that allow them to understand all sides of a situation, committing to fairness and justice. They also strive to maintain a strong connection with themselves and others, which is a great description of their emotional, ensemble roles Locke has taken on in his young but remarkable career. Libras can fit in with anyone, anywhere, and they're known for believing in the power of spending time in the company of others. This personality type would align perfectly with the types of jobs Locke has followed through on, and his lifestyle as an actor on shows which rely on the chemistry and easygoing nature of their ensemble cast.
Ncuti Gatwa
Ncuti Gatwa, who captivated our hearts as Eric on "Sex Education" and is now flourishing in the groundbreaking role as The Doctor in the beloved, longrunning sci-fi series "Doctor Who." is passionately and proudly showing off his Libra talents. In an interview where he expressed his love for the various astrology apps he's been diving into so enthusiastically that he hadn't slept the night before, Ncuti Gatwa https://www.instagram.com/p/C53rRb0C2ir/ - Ncuti Gatwa, who captivated our hearts as Eric on "Sex Education" and is now flourishing in the groundbreaking role as The Doctor in the beloved, longrunning sci-fi series "Doctor Who." is passionately and proudly showing off his Libra talents. In an interview where he expressed his love for the various astrology apps he's been diving into so enthusiastically that he hadn't slept the night before, Gatwa told Vulture: "We're very indecisive. We're real diplomats, like we're always searching for balance. We're the scales." Another Libra moment for Gatwa was when he got his first paycheck for "Sex Education" after months of couch-surfing and barely earning enough money for rent. "I was able to pay my bills! Let's put it like that. I was able to pay my bills – and then some." In true Libra fashion –literally, Libras love a fashionable moment, and can't deny themselves a stylish item that lifts their spirits– his first big purchase with Netflix monet was a Gucci fanny-pack. "That was so obnoxious," he said of the splurge, "It was red and just said 'Gucci' on it. I do love that fanny pack."
Cardi B
The incredibly stylish rapper is everything we know Libras to be: focused on fairness, openness, and stylish social engagements; Cardi B can keep the peace if she wants to (her mature, no-drama relationship with co-parent Offset as an example for one), but she'll be outspoken and dropping truths if anything unjust becomes the topic of conversation. She's always ready to set the truth straight, and willing to go to court (dressed to the nines, of course!) to admit when she's in the wrong. Cosmo says Libras "have impeccable taste and like elegant, good quality, coveted pieces which they can showcase to others." Cardi has the heart to defend, protect, and fight for what she values most, but when that's not needed, she's gonna flex her handbag collection.
Zolita
The sapphic singer has shared many social media posts –on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok– about being a Libra. She's attributed her indecisiveness, her need for fairness, and her passionate creative outlet to her zodiac sign. We also believe her multitalented songwriting, visionary music video directing, as well as the way she builds a fashion-centric aesthetic for each of her singles and music video eras can be traced back to her natural Libra energy. And we love to see the artist rocking boldly queer merch and dropping perfect, playful songs about seducing women. More power to this Libra popstar!
Rosalía
Libras are ruled by Venus, which leads people with this star sign to be passionate lovers and empowered by making art that expresses their passionate emotions at whatever stage of a relationship they're feeling. Libras often use art to express themselves, and to bring people together by shared feelings –music is the ideal creative outlet for this. Rosalía's romantic, sexy, can't-help-but-dance-to-it hits are everything a Libra could dream for. She charms wherever she goes, whenever she's performing her brilliant, alluring songs.
