There’s been a short discussion in the comments section on Does Uranus in the Seventh House automatically mean infidelity?
proserpine wrote,
I have heard … that Moon in Libra means the person is unfaithful in relationships, but that that placement often means the native will have two relationships at the same time(or want to have them). Libra Sun will often have two relationships–and *that* I can testify to–personally, and second-hand.:-).I have known a few Moon-in-Libra folks and they often do have more than one love affair going on.
I scoured the web a bit to look into this, because it’s not something I’ve heard about. (Was I not invited to the cheating party?)
novareinna writes, “Libra is easily attracted to other individuals and fidelity is not this Sign’s strong suit…although ironically, there may be evidence of jealousy on both sides at displays of such disloyal behavior.”
Victoria Bazeley writes in the larger context of afflictions to Neptune in Libra, “I get a bit suspicious when I see a lot of Libra in any chart (including a Libra Ascendant), although I don’t actually have the hard data to back up my suspicions.”
Granted, I don’t have any personal planets in Libra, so this sign is somewhat alien to me. But conceptually, Libran infidelity doesn’t make sense. Yes, they’re flirtatious, but among the air signs, Libra would be the least likely to cheat. Aquarius is the sign of independence, and Gemini is the sign of “twos,” needing variety to keep stimulated. Libra is just so focused on partnership — why would they be unfaithful?
Perhaps indecision would be one culprit. Libra may be torn between two (or more) lovers, because they’re constantly balancing each person’s virtues and faults.
Libra is ruled by Venus, whose counterpart is Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Aphrodite frequently cheated on her hubby, Hephaestus. If you are a Libra, the sign placement of your Venus will be especially significant. Due to its proximity to the Sun, Venus can only be within two signs of either side of Libra, so that would mean Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius. Venus in Sag would be prone to play the field.
I also suspect that the outer planets may have something to do with this reputation. Boomers born between 1943 and 1956 have Neptune in Libra, and people born between 1968 and 1975 have Uranus in Libra. Any Libras born during either of these periods are likely (using a 10 degree orb for a conjuction to one’s Sun) to have their basic nature influenced by either of these powerful planets.
Victoria Bazeley again writes,
afflictions to Neptune in Libra (affecting the generation now in its 50s) have proven to be problematic in a number of cases. (Libra is the sign of marriage, so this is a blending of the symbols for deception and marriage!)
And people with Uranus-Sun conjuctions need their share of freedom, not to mention the fact that Uranus in Libra breaks down the conventions of marriage.
Anyone with a Moon in Libra who was born during these two periods will likely have a Moon-Neptune or Moon-Uranus conjunction, which correspond, respectively, with poor boundaries or a need for independence in relationships.
I’m not convinced Libra deserves this bad rap, but I’m open to your comments below. My Aquarian Moon wants some logical explanations, though.

I have a secondary progressed moon in Libra 7 degrees maybe that is why am so understanding of them.

I have an Aquarius moon…Irony! No wonder we both appreciate the other sign(: My favourite Aquarian is also a Dragon and we both have Earth rising, Air moon and Water decendants. Sure is more to it than is on the surface.
I have to agree with the article. Libras are not unfaithful beings. In fact they are the most caring and gentle of the zodiacs.
Best psychic, so true! We are so very misunderstood by so many. It is possibly that others find it hard to believe anyone can exist that genuinely DOES understand all situations and can be kind to the less fortunate. I often receive snide remarks and discerning looks when chatting to mentally challenged and disabled persons, and those who are unfortunate enough to be found sleeping on the streets after a tragic situation has sent them there.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart(;
I think am in love lol…guess what?,,I have earth rising in Virgo =] lol ..no am not a dragon but am a snake and they are highly compatible …and of course I have mystical Pisces on the descendant ..haha
I’ve been looking at the same man for 2 years now and I still have no interest in anyone else. We’ve been living together for a year but its really weird, I felt like all was normal from day one, its like I can;’t remember not being with him. If a Libra woman truly loves a man, not just attracted to him but totally in love with him then she will never look at another man, want your Libra to not cheat? Be loving …….
A Libra will never leave or cheat on their “real” one. My ex husband and I were seperated for a couple years before either one of us saw other people, (hes a Libra too) We had to know that we wouldn’t miss the other, its just like that. As many rotten things that happened in our relationship. I know that I could call him anytime and he’d be here, (don’t want him but thats the way he is)
Libras only look around when they’re lonesome.
Thank you newlywed, and to Proserpine…I am Libra Sun and the only time I would have two potential partners was when i did not have any sign of commitment from either! Therefore, NOT CHEATING!! There is s difference between cheating and covering all bases.
I have put 3 years of my life aside for a man whom I believe will one day come around, as feel he does love me but is afraid. In that time, I have slept with one man who abused me for a few hours and that was it… a few hours of abuse! Why did I do this? Because the one I really loved was with another woman and indicating permanency with her.
He, on the other hand, has prostitutes and slovenly women keep him company, yet still spies on me to make sure I am not straying…go figure! We Librans put up with a hell of a lot if we believe in someone, so get off our case and try to better understand us rather than trash us.
We are of Venus, the planet of LOVE…doesn’t that speak volumes?? LOVE US AND WE WILL LOVE YOU IN RETURN.

thats exactly why I dated multiple people at the same time when I was younger, how can you take a relationship serious if he gives you nothing
Holy Crap! Are Libras unfaithful??? Well as a man married to one, the answer is YES!!! I caught my slut of a wife in a 4 month long affair with a real loser. Here’s a tip, if the Libra is talking, they’re lying!
Here’s the kicker, they won’t ‘fess up either once they’re caught!
SLUTS!!! Flirt their way into sex all because they don’t have any sense of limits, nor are they secure with themselves…which is where the danger comes into play! Any guy with charm and a penis, and voila! You’re wife is as good as nailed by that guy!
If you’re are married to a Libra female good friggin’ luck fella!
