From September 23rd to October 22nd Libra season is here to bring some balance into our lives. 

This air sign is a social butterfly that thrives in cooperative and harmonious conditions. They want everyone to get a fair shot, and get agitated in instances of injustice and forced conformity.

Also known as the sign of the Scales, Libra can have a habit of weighing their options too thoroughly, coming off as indecisive and flighty.

While you'll typically find that this sign tries to avoid a confrontation, they are prone to seeking retribution when they feel they have been wronged.

This sign may be known for their strong moral compass, but justice is often defined by each individual Libra, and may not produce the expected outcome.

But who doesn't love a little mystery?

From courtroom drama to undercover stings, here are the best mystery and thriller movies to watch if you're a Libra!

Juror #2

In this captivating legal thriller, journalist and recovering alcoholic Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult) is selected to serve on the jury of a high-profile murder case.

Though he is distracted by his wife's high-risk pregnancy, Kemp becomes torn with a major moral dilemma when he suspects the man on trial may be innocent.

He has the power to sway the jury one way or the other, but is the truth or the lie the greater good?

One may think a Libra is a great candidate to have on a jury, due to their love of justice.

But, like Kemp in this film, they can be incredibly indecisive, especially when it comes to determining what is “fair.”

This film will hold a mirror to this sign's common flaw—a tendency to pick the path of least resistance.

Bad Boys

This 1995 action movie follows a pair of Miami narcotics detectives, Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence).

When $100 million worth of heroin is stolen from the police station, the investigation turns messy.

Now Mike and Marcus must protect a woman who witnessed a murder from a dangerous drug dealer. But protecting her means impersonating each other…

There's nothing a Libra loves more than cooperation, so a buddy cop film is the perfect flick for them. 

They'll also enjoy the unconventional approach to justice and the careful balance struck between the partners.

Promising Young Woman

If you ever get on a Libra's bad side, you'll learn quickly that they are notorious for holding a grudge. If you like the dark side of justice, then you'll love Promising Young Woman.

Med school drop out Cassie Thomas (Carey Mulligan) is haunted by her best friend's suicide, which was caused by a rape that saw no justice.

Now Cassie patrols clubs and bars pretending to be drunk, luring potential rapists into her trap.

When a chance encounter brings her face to face with the past, Cassie has a chance to right the wrongs of the past.

But at what cost?

Hit Man

Gary Johnson (Glen Powell) is a mild-mannered professor who spends his downtime moonlighting with the New Orleans Police Department to help with sting operations.

When circumstance sees him thrust into an undercover role as a hit man, he discovers his knowledge of psychology gives him a remarkable edge.

His newfound talent gives him a new confidence, but everything is turned on its head when he finds himself falling for a woman who wants to hire him to kill her ex.

Libras will feel incredibly connected to Johnson, for he exhibits the high charisma this sign is known for, as well as a heightened social intelligence that is unique to this sign.

Like any air sign, Libras may feel the need for a revolving door of new in their life—and Gary stepping into so many identities will tickle that fancy.

A Lonely Place to Die

In the Scottish Highlands, a group of mountaineers stumble across a young girl who has been kidnapped. She speaks no English, so they have no means of communicating with her.

While the group attempt to help the girl, she and her rescuers are ruthlessly pursued by her captors.

It's not just a Libra's love of the outdoors that will draw them to this movie. This sign believes in justice at any cost.

While they don't personally love violence or conflict—both of which this movie embraces—they are dedicated to seeing justice through to the end.

Especially when it pertains to someone they deem to be an innocent.
