The end of September is widely known as the beginning of fall, but for the zodiac-obsessed, it means something even more important—the start of Libra season. The sign is known to be the charmer of the zodiac, with a particular interest in all things beauty and aesthetics. “Libras are empathetic, kind, and considerate,” says astrologer and tarot reader Jasmin Alejandrez-Prasad. “They have extravagant, lush taste and love feeling creative and self-expressive.”
According to Alejandrez-Prasad, one of their favorite hobbies is shopping, so buying gifts for them can be tricky. That’s why we found the best gifts for any Libra in your life, with everything from chic silk robes to luxurious shower oils.
Astrology
Know a Libra who just loves being a Libra? They can rep their sign everywhere they go with these astrology-inspired gifts, like a necklace with their birthstone or a personalized decorative sleep mask.
Beauty
Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and love, so they love luxurious items that look good on their vanity (and make them look even better). “A Libra’s taste in beauty is all about investing in the most expensive makeup brands,” says Alejandrez-Prasad. They like things that feel soft and smell good to add more luxury to their everyday lives. Whether it’s a cozy, spicy perfume (from one of our favorite Libras, Bella Hadid, no less) or a lush night cream, a Libra will appreciate these high-quality beauty favorites.
Self-Care
Wellness and self-care are very important in Libra’s daily routine, as they don’t operate well when things are out of balance (hence the scales). Anything that allows them to care for themselves is a great gift for a Libra loved one. Sleep is also a priority for Libras (even Libra Dakota Johnson said she needs about 14 hours), so sleep supplements and aromatherapy products can make a thoughtful gift for them.
Fashion
Libras definitely have a passion for fashion (FWIW, our style icon, Carrie Bradshaw, is a Libra). If you’re shopping for one, you probably know they have a very specific style. “Libras love to feel unique and usually put their own spin on a trend or something that inspired them,” says Alejandrez-Prasad. “They love eclectic items as well as mixing and matching metals—so gifting them jewelry is a huge win.” She mentions that they love to own top-of-the-line pieces, such as luxury bags and shoes, but they also enjoy having secondhand, one-of-a-kind items that can last through several trend cycles.
