People often think that Libras are indecisive. But with their tendency to carefully consider every possible angle of a situation before coming to a decision, we prefer to think of Libras as well-prepared. Whether it’s a major life change, or simply choosing what show to watch next, bearers of the air sign of communication, balance, justice, relationships, and love are always going to think long and hard about the path forward. And depending on how you look at it, that can be a special superpower.  

Born between Sept. 23 and Oct. 23, Libras are diverse in their desires — they love to fall in love, they value creativity and fun, they are incredibly social, and they care about doing what’s right. And because this cardinal air sign thrives on balance and harmony, we have a variety of movies and shows for whatever mood you might be in. Whether you’re looking for a romantic comedy or a thrilling historical drama, we’ve picked out your next watch so you don’t have to. (You’re welcome, Libra.) 

Astrology fans can find even more recommendations inspired by Libra — and the 11 other star signs — in Netflix’s curated collection Your Zodiac Watchlist, a fresh way to explore all of our titles through an astrological lens. 

Until then, all you have to do is scroll down and follow your heart to your next favorite watch.

Bridgerton

Set in Regency-era England, Bridgerton is all about the lust, love, and luxury of high society. The series revolves around the complicated social web of young men and women from noble families in their attempts to find love, with new romantic relationships developing in each season. This show is loaded with drama, plenty of romance, and gorgeous aesthetics that will have any Libra swooning. And the cherry on top is resident gossip Lady Whistledown (Nicola Coughlan), who stirs the pot by exposing the secrets and hypocrisies of her peers, which gives her the power to influence the outcomes of some key romantic and diplomatic entanglements.

Clueless

Confident, fashionable, and a little bit clueless, Libra icon Cher Horowitz (Alicia Silverstone) is the Queen Bee at her Beverly Hills high school, where she plays matchmaker for teachers and students alike. Though she comes off as spoiled at times, Cher means well and learns from her mistakes. She understands social dynamics as much as she does the power of a good negotiation, and her political analysis is rooted in the scales of justice, as she reminds us, “It does not say ‘RSVP’ on the Statue of Liberty.” This ’90s coming-of-age romantic comedy is a timeless classic — and one you’ll want to revisit this Libra season.

Emily in Paris

The fact that this series takes place primarily in Paris, the city of love, firmly establishes Emily in Paris as the perfect dose of Libra escapism. The series follows Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), a Chicago marketing executive who moves to Paris after landing her dream job. Libras love to charm and flirt, and there is no shortage of either in Emily’s world, where she’s caught the eye of plenty of men who would love nothing more than a chance at winning her affection. Not to mention, this fashionista absolutely slays while also spreading the love with her many heart-printed outfits and accessories. If Emily herself isn’t a Libra, the series itself remains the perfect mix of romance, fashion, and escapism for any Libra looking for a new fantasy.

Hit Man

Glen Powell (b. Oct. 21) 

Not only is Glen Powell himself a beautiful and charismatic (we assume) Libra, but his character Gary Johnson also embodies the air sign’s qualities as a master of social dynamics. Inspired by a true story, Hit Man follows the affable college professor Gary, whose side hustle involves working with the local police to entrap people looking to hire a hit man. Tapping into Libra’s social chameleon qualities, Gary adopts an alter-ego — and a unique wardrobe — for each of his assignments that helps the fake contract killer build trust with his prospective clients before having them arrested. (Ah, the power of deception.) That is, until he falls for one of them. In true Libra fashion, there’s no hope for Gary when he meets the complex and alluring Madison (Adria Arjona).

Stranger Things

Noah Schnapp (b. Oct. 3), Caleb McLaughlin (b. Oct. 13), Priah Ferguson (b. Oct. 1)

In a show that’s all about the power of friendship, it should come as no surprise that the cast of Stranger Things includes a few Libras. The series follows a tight-knit group of Hawkins tween outcasts into the Upside Down and back again after their friend Will Byers, played by Libra Noah Schnapp, is abducted by a Demogorgon and possessed by the Mind Flayer. Luckily, his group of loyal friends, including Lucas Sinclair, played by fellow Libra Caleb McLaughlin, Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin Henderson (Gaten Matarazzo), and the mysterious Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) won’t give up on Will, as they fight to uncover the supernatural government conspiracy that plagues their small Indiana town. Volume 1 of the fifth and final season will make its Netflix debut on Nov. 26.

Wednesday

Jenna Ortega (b. Sept. 27), Catherine Zeta-Jones (b. Sept. 25), Joy Sunday (b. Sept. 25)

The Addams family may be dark, spooky, and a bit strange, but the Libra actors behind mother-daughter duo Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) and Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) likely bring plenty of their sign’s signature charm into their relationships on set. Wednesday is as much about the titular character’s personal journey to master her psychic ability at Nevermore Academy, as it is about the deep bonds she creates along the way. There’s queen bee Bianca Barclay, played by fellow Libra Joy Sunday, who forges a connection with Wednesday — along with a bit of friendly competition. And leave it to a Libra-coded character like the colorful, bubbly, carefree, and well-liked Enid Sinclar (Emma Myers) to befriend the dark and morbid Wednesday.
