i heard libras are a bit gold diggers, social climbers...is there any truth to this?
that thought sure goes through our head. but we are proud people. wont marry for money.
hopefully both 
.... but love first, always
.... but love first, always
Yes, ,we consider these things when it comes to a life partner or marraige, but when it comes down to the acctual thing, we will never marry unless it was for love. WE are conflicted sometimes, but our feelings and love for someone is what will always shine through.
lol!
I am the only person you will ever meet who has turn down three positions as trophy wife and am happily dating a creative guy with no money. I need a partner
Almost every Libra woman I know has married a creative guy. Photographers, screenwriters, filmmakers, musicians, deisners, etc. These guys generally aren't rich. Many have sacraficed comfort to help their partners career. Most have helped put them through school or went without to help pay the bills of the partners dreams. I remember one girl who I use to work with who was really upset because her husbands photography business wasn't up and running yet. She only had three pairs of pants and one pair needed to be thrown out because they were worn through but she didn't want to tell him and make him feel bad.
Having dated politicans and bankers and been nothing but frustrated and empty, I understand the appeal of the creative man who understands me better.
* but prestige i know they willl definitely factor into love
No. That is a Scorp thing. Not a Libra thing.
Libra seeks a true partner who understands them.

I can't use anyone. I am too honest.
I think there are fewer things sadder than a man who believes his money will win him love. I have met too many old men who desperately throw themselves at younger women because they think their money will win these women to them. Sadly, they don't know that the women are really put off by it and laughing at them.
People usually assume things about me that are untrue because of the way I look.
My roomie (also a Libra) and I use to have men come up to us when we went out together and they would say ... If I made more money, I would date someone like you.
We were never sure if that was a compliment or a put down.

even though I'm not a libra, I totally agree that in general libras would definitely look first toward real love, personal intimacy, someone who they can connect with and be understood. I can see how money is important too (balance the scales) but for sure, libras are flirty, charming, but really deep inside they want the big L.
* I can see how money is important too
Not really. Think of Gandhi. Think of John Lennon. Think of Nico. It is really our ideals, our utophian vision that is MOST important. Money is nothing.

I don't think this has to do with your sign...I believe if your a real person and not superficial you will only marry for love...
"I don't think this has to do with your sign..."
It is definitely a Libra trait....we go for LOVE, PARTNERSHIP with that we can find money ourselves.

that is quiet a relief. I thought my libran's love for me soared when he saw a safe future with me..lol
I am attracted to intelligent guys. Libra seldom look to people below their perceived intellectual level. Snobby, but true..
And smart guys make money...
I prefer self made men, rather than daddy's cash boys because I predict the latter may squander most away.
I prefer those I can meld on an intellectual and emotional level, so, call it love, you may, perhaps love of self.
But yes, libra is too proud to marry for status or money.. perhaps if they don't know otherwise, or the partner treats them real good, and they think it's love.
In any case, I don't rely on a guy to PROVIDE for me exclusively, but if he has no money sense, or at least a capacity to earn or be hardworking, I would see no future and would still love him, but will NEVER support him. I'm too proud to support a man, and this is a note to myself, too, in case its a never say never.
So, equal comes up again.. but I know as I grow older, climb up the career ladder, my priorities may change, so I wouldn't take this as set for now.

"If you truly love, you are rich. If the person you love, loves you back, you own the world"
sweet.
sweet.
I believe in self-love. Who we attract and accept treatment from are a reflection of ourselves. Ultimately the reliance of another for love will break you especially if you're blind to their faults.
Even if the person loves you back whom you love, things aren't so simple. They have their own self issues to resolve which may prevent any true union, which gives rise to natural relationship dramas.
Also, i dont think things are black and white as to marrying for love or money per se.. everything is intertwined, and everything is a two way street. by the way, money is never enough, the richest of rich may say they are poor, yet the poorer will say they are rich.. either way, they are right.

*Any Libra who does marry for money will find it a prison.
Agreed!
I learned that those trophy wives earn their money at quite a cost. I do not envy them.
I agree Spica. I am not sure how I feel about romantic love. I believe in partnership. I believe in commitment. But romantic love? I am not sure.

(( slick bank robber))
i can imagine.
#1: walk into managers cabin and talk to him nonstop for 2 hrs until he agree to give you all the money if you can quit talking.
#2: make a dramatic scene at the bank and start blaming everyone until they all get totally confused and agree you are right and the bank and its money belongs to you?

This from an earth sign.
I think you need to meet a couple of Libras. I know many, many Libras not one is motivated by money.

People usually assume because of the way I look, I spend a lot of money on my clothing etc. I usually spend less on an entire outfit than most people spend on a single shirt.
Libras are way different than what you think and very different than they seem. The aura of Libra women is very deceiving.

I will tell my married Libra sisters that. They will enjoy the laugh.

Shaka, Libra love fine things. But that doesn't mean we spend like earth people to have fine things. Libra spends wisely and at times we think we are being way stingy when it comes to ourselves. We spend more for others than for our own pleasure.
Like a friend's friend virgo went and bought himself a BMW 7 series bcoz his boss has one. Another friend of mine wanted to buy the same speakers I got which costs 75USD and weights 2Kgs even though he just bought a huge costly home theater system.
I dont give a sh!t about what others have and buy something to compete with others. When we buy, we buy what we really need. Whatever meets our actual requirement. I love to have a beautiful looking sony viao. But am not stupid to spend 2-3K USD on a brand when i can find the same config for 1K USD under Dell or Acer. Attimes we fall for that and end up buying costly stuffs without much thinking. Esp during young ages.
Most aqua women i know carries 3-4 yrs old cell phone. they dont waste money to keep upgrading their phone every 6 months. I admire them for that.

you right thelibran. Libra girl don't marry just because of money because we know how to make money and earn for ourself. If we get married, we marry the person because we love them and we enjoy their company. We can buy things if we really like it and yes, we don't spend a thing if we think it's unreasonable.
"IMO Libras do care for money, more than many other signs, they need their basic Venusian pleasures to be fulfilled and lets face it, they are mostly about money in the end."
We do care about money but not for the reasons you stated. If we care or stress about money it is because we want to be able to provide ourselves or our loved ones the freedom that comes with money. Not the material items.
I'm a Libra and one of the least materialistic people I know. I would rather have experience, wisdom and knowledge than money. You take those things out of this world with you when you go, you can't take money.
My girlfriend is a Libra. And, while like me does like to spend a few extra bucks every once in a while to treat herself, me, or the both of us it is never a priority and I have to sometimes remind her and myself to use our money just for fun every once in a while. I have been with her for almost a year. she has never made me insecure about what I make.
LIke LS and others stated. She is looking for a self made man weather he is rich or not is not important but rather the character forged from the process of becomming a self made man. As a Libra man, I desire a self made woman. A woman I can feel confident has seen and experienced what it is to have her character forged herself. A woman who has had to make the hard choices and has come out of it without an ounce of spite, blame, or excuse.
Money doesn't matter. In fact, with Libras....we strive to find that perfect partner so that we can have the independance and clarity within our relationship to persue our true desires and this allows us to become wealthy under our own power should we choose to.

I'd marry for love with high hopes and the definite possibility that we will achieve our dreams which of course includes being wealthy and well liked and influential
love or money....probably just for the love of money!
*VE rubbs ALL the cash all over himself and refuses to share MUHAHAHAHA LOL*

For Love. If you marry for money, then you are not being a solid person but rather hollow.
LOOVE!

Yah, even though he doesn't post anymore, he was right on the money with this.
Marrying for money sort of implies an obligation...obligations are restrictive..restrictions make libras feel antsy...or depressed.
Marrying for love is the ideal..I'd rather marry a poor man I loved, than a rich guy i sort of liked. you could always get money.

Oh absolutely. Libras attached themselves to whatever side is winning and have no loyalty.
And it is also said that Libras tend to be rather faggy because they're fagots.
Except KoL, he's cool.

The 8th house is a very emphathic placement. Healer types.
I read that the bible had astrological references, but were removed by a dictator back then. A slight reference would be
'There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:'
Ecclesiastes
