5 Books Every Libra Should Read Once in Their Life

For all of your positive traits, Libra, you're not the best at making decisions. Psychologist and Columbia Business School professor Iyengar's 2011 self-help book will give you some (sometimes-needed) perspective about how our minds deal with making choices—whether mundane or life-changing—and how we can train ourselves to choose better. 

The thoughtful, aesthetically-minded Libra will appreciate the intertwined stories of two families living in a fictional, Cambridge-like city outside Boston. And her inner diplomat will delight in the constant back and forth, love-hate relationship between the competitive but friendly Kipps and Belseys.

What better choice for one of the most romantic signs of the zodiac than one of the most classic love stories of all time. Austen’s 1813 novel about Lizzie Bennet (and Mr. Darcy, of course) has often been imitated but never topped.

As a Libra, you appreciate beauty, luxury and romance. Fitzgerald's 1925 classic is the perfect combination of the three. From the extravagantly over-the-top parties to Jay's obsessive love for Daisy, the novel—along with the 1974 and 2013 movie versions—is opulence defined. It shouldn't come as a surprise, then, that Fitzgerald was a Libra himself. 

Justice-minded Libras will likely connect to Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1960 novel about a sleepy southern town and the court case that rocked it. With themes of racial inequality and the legal system, it’s deeply human, compassionate and moving.
