Libby + Arri (Aries)

My opposite sign. Arri says, “Let’s go!” I say, “Shall we talk about where?” By the time I’ve weighed up both options, Arri has been to both places and come back.

Verdict: he gets me moving, I get him thinking. Perfectly balanced. (Of course.)

Libby + Taur (Taurus)

We both love beautiful things. We went shopping for one cushion and came home with forty. Taur sat on all of them at once.

Verdict: a stunning living room with nowhere to stand.

Libby + Gem & Eye (Gemini)

Fellow birds, fellow air signs, fellow chatterboxes. They disagree with each other and I agree with both of them. It’s the most peaceful argument in the world.

Verdict: chatting in the clouds, forever.

Libby + Canny (Cancer)

If anyone raises their voice, Canny hides in a shell and I hide behind my own leg. It doesn’t hide much of me. I’m very pink.

Verdict: a gentle friendship. A very visible hiding place.

Libby + Leo (Leo)

Leo likes to stand in front. I let him, because it’s polite, and because from behind him I get a lovely view of his mane.

Verdict: fabulous together. He thinks he’s the fabulous one. Let him.

Libby + Virgo (Virgo)

I make things pretty, Virgo makes things neat. I adjusted a picture frame two millimetres to the left. Virgo adjusted it back. We did this for an afternoon. It was the nicest afternoon.

Verdict: beauty meets order. Eventually.

Libby + Libby (Libra)

Two Libras at a restaurant. “What would you like?” “Whatever you’d like!” “No, you choose!” The restaurant closed. We had a lovely time.

Verdict: everyone’s very happy and very hungry.

Libby + Score (Scorpio)

Score says exactly what she thinks. I say exactly what everyone else thinks, so nobody’s upset. Score finds this baffling. I find Score thrilling.

Verdict: she’s my brave friend. I’m her calm one.

Libby + Sagg (Sagittarius)

Sagg asked if I fancied an adventure. I spent three days deciding between the jungle and the beach. Sagg booked both. I went to both. I loved both, equally, obviously.

Verdict: Sagg solves my decisions by not making any.

Libby + Cap (Capricorn)

Cap is the boss, I’m the diplomat. Cap says, “Do it now.” I say, “What Cap means is, whenever’s lovely for you, but now would be lovely.”

Verdict: Cap gets results. I get smiles. The team gets both.

Libby + Aqua (Aquarius)

Fellow air sign and fellow bird. Aqua has a hundred ideas for changing the world. I make sure everyone’s happy about it. She keeps snacks in her pouch. I keep peace in mine. (I don’t have a pouch.)

Verdict: two birds, one big beautiful plan.

Libby + Pike (Pisces)

Pike and I both hate arguments. When the others fall out, Pike writes a poem about it and I read it out on one leg. Everyone forgets what they were cross about.

Verdict: the zodiac’s peace-keeping force.

Libby’s sign-off: If you know a Libra, please don’t ask us to choose. Between anything. Ever. We love you all exactly the same. (But please do bring cake, and cut it into very equal slices.)
