Top 12 Careers for Libra
At work, Libras are the cooperative and diplomatic employee that everyone loves. Well-liked and popular with all their colleagues, they thrive in peaceful and aesthetically beautiful environments—working toward harmony wherever they go.
While this sign generally serves as the righteous medium between two disagreeing parties, they are not one to enjoy confrontation. In fact, on several occasions you can find humble Libra shrinking into the background if their opinions differ from others. Because they enjoy being well-liked, they’re afraid to stir the pot.
More than that, Libras are notoriously indecisive. They might not be able to make up their own mind anyway. For those reasons, Libra individuals would do well in professions that aren’t putting them at the head of large teams or businesses.
