Liberians are usually considered not to be good decision-makers and are always confused between decisions. A Virgo, in contrast, has great decision power and is the one who is sorted in life. Though being opposite in nature, a Libran would always feel safe and protected by a good decision-maker.
Scorpions are intense lovers and a Libran is always stunned by their charm of love. These two signs when connected will make a strong bond of love, admiration, emotions, and beauty.
Liberians and Lions are made in heaven in pairs. The charm and politeness that Libra displays help to temper Leo's forthright and abrasive demeanour. Your relationship is well-balanced on an emotional and mental level, making each day of love feel fresh.
Both Liberians and Aquarians show the trait of never giving up. And this nature of theirs helps them to lead a smooth relationship. More than lovers, they would be best friends and cards show that they share a lot in common.
While Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the sign of growth, expansion, and adventure, Libra is also controlled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, charm, and fairness. When you two are together, you tend to enjoy life the most.
The pair made by the stars always tend to have a good balance in their life and bring love and merriment to each other's life.

The new digital wallet for Libra will be available in Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and as a standalone app in 2020, the company said in a statement.
Facebook currently generates 99 per cent of its revenue from advertisements and its own digital currency would help it reach billions of its users across products, creating another stable revenue stream.
"Today we're sharing plans for Calibra, a newly-formed Facebook subsidiary whose goal is to provide financial services that will let people access and participate in the Libra network," said Facebook.
From the beginning, Calibra will let users send Libra to almost anyone with a smartphone, as easily and instantly as they send a text message and at low to no cost.
"In time, we hope to offer additional services for people and businesses, like paying bills with the push of a button, buying a cup of coffee with the scan of a code or riding your local public transit without needing to carry cash or a metro pass," said the social media giant which is facing intense scrutiny over users' privacy violations.
Facebook said Calibra will have strong protections in place to keep your money and your information safe.
"We'll be using all the same verification and anti-fraud processes that banks and credit cards use, and we'll have automated systems that will proactively monitor activity to detect and prevent fraudulent behaviourm" explained the company.
It said it would also offer dedicated live support to help if a user loses the phone or password — and if someone fraudulently gains access to the account and the user loses some Libra as a result, Facebook would offer a "refund".
Aside from limited cases, Calibra will not share account information or financial data with Facebook or any third party without customer consent, claimed the company.
"This means Calibra customers' account information and financial data will not be used to improve ad targeting on the Facebook family of products.
"The limited cases where this data may be shared reflect our need to keep people safe, comply with the law and provide basic functionality to the people who use Calibra. Calibra will use Facebook data to comply with the law, secure customers' accounts, mitigate risk and prevent criminal activity," the company explained.
Facebook said it is still early in the process of developing Calibra and would consult experts to make the product safe and private.
The new digital wallet for 'Libra' currency would be available in Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and as a stand-alone app in 2020. Facebook has tied up with 27 organizations around the world to start the non-profit Libra Association to create the new currency.
"In addition to our efforts, many other companies will build their own services using Libra -- from payment companies like Mastercard, PayPal, PayU, Stripe and Visa, to popular services like Booking, eBay, Farfetch, Lyft, Spotify and Uber," said Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
"A number of leading venture firms are also joining to help drive innovation on the Libra network. We're hoping to have over 100 co-founding members of the Libra Association by the time the network launches next year," Zuckerberg added.
Facebook currently generates 99 per cent of its revenue from advertisements and digital currency would help it reach billions of users across products -- aiming to create another stable revenue stream and make cryptocurrecny-based payments mainstream.
It is, however, unclear how regulators worldwide would take this as cryptocurrency market has been unregulated so far and several countries, including India, do not accept it as legal tender.

Amid repeated data breaches and privacy violations on the platform, several US Senators have called for breaking up the social network.
Democratic presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris stressed that authorities should take a serious look at breaking up Facebook as the social network platform is a "utility that has gone unregulated.
Another Democratic 2020 candidate Senator Elizabeth Warren has also stressed upon the possibility of breaking up Facebook.
Facebook has kept aside $3 billion, anticipating a record fine coming from the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) related to the Cambridge Analytica data scandal that involved 87 million users.
In a recent opinion piece in The New York Times, Facebook Co-founder Chris Hughes said the government must hold Mark (Zuckerberg) accountable.
According to David Marcus, Facebook's vice president of messaging products and a key figure behind 'Libra' digital currency project, someone with experience in government and central banking would be a great choice to oversee the currency.
"We need someone who knows how economies tend to work, who understands how to operate in a very complex, decentralized governance type of environment," Marcus told The Information on Friday.
Sensing a multi-billion dollar opportunity to improve the cross-border payments system, Facebook has announced to launch its own digital coin called 'Libra' next year.
"We need someone who has the gravitas to be able to carry the message on behalf of all the members -- the 100 members and more of the association when this thing goes live -- rather than have each and every one of us have piecemeal conversations left and right with all of the different governments and regulators that this whole network will be subject to," Marcus elaborated.

Marcus denied reports that banks have rejected Facebook's invitation to join the Libra Association.
"We have had conversations with banks. We still have conversations with banks. And my expectation is that by the time this thing launches next year you will have banks that are going to be members of this," Marcus was quoted as saying.
