Libra's proverbial passionate soul makes them the ultimate foodie. You require lots of texture in your foods, friends, and environments. Your need to constantly engage your senses motivates you to experience many cultural and exotic foods and just as many variations of people.
You love to orchestrate events and create experiences, engaging your vast networks. We all appreciate these skills, but please... learn to reign in your inner-control freakieness and the world will truly see through your rose-colored glasses and enjoy the social ride.

The great news is that our Libras are a extraordinary hosts! They are passionate caretakers with vast social skills bringing together compelling groups of people in interesting surroundings. Libra’s need to consistently engage their senses motivates them to experience many cultural and exotic foods and just as many variations of people. The bad news is that they typically want to initiate the event and make all the plans. If they don’t get to, they may be cranky and sulk through the forced socialization they had no control over.
Whenever possible say “Yes!” to hanging out with a Libra. They are beautiful people, inside and out, and are architects of attraction. They don’t like to be alone, so chances are you will get frequent opportunities to go out if you are on their network list. If they must dine alone, their strong desire to be out amongst the world will drive them to eat out solo, but they won’t remain that way for very long. Libra will genuinely befriend the staff of the restaurant by the time the salad arrives… and lucky you, some of these interesting people will probably appear at the next gathering that you’re invited to! If you’re in need of a companion, don’t hesitate to call them – if they’re not free, they will usually include you in their plans.
The Libran eating environment can vary greatly. The necessary components are a variety of food textures, interesting companionship, an attractive atmosphere, and good music. They are creatures of beauty and romance. Romance defined in the sense of romantic love, but also in the spirit or feeling of adventure. They love being with a group of people dining family style, still preferably out in a restaurant. If this type of eating requires the restaurant be foreign… Greek or Italian, all the better! Libra is also completely in their element in a candlelit, white-linen hideaway booth with their lover or on a first date. They are not shy about eating and will indulge whatever whim is present in the moment. In either situation, they will happily ensure that whoever else is present is well cared for. Although Libra’s social life may be a constant whirlwind of activity, they like to eat slowly… keep pace and they will love to share meals with you… finish early and watch them eat and they will take even longer!
