It’s almost Libra’s time to shine. From Sept. 23 to Oct. 22, this Venus-ruled air sign takes center stage. According to Astro Poets, Libras value equilibrium. Represented by a pair of scales, Libras often seek balance in their relationships. Beauty is important to them, and they tend to be described as old souls, seeking classic experiences.
In Albuquerque, there is plenty to explore that can satisfy a Libra’s love of classic beauty. Here’s the ultimate Libra’s guide to Albuquerque.

Libras will appreciate some of the quintessential Albuquerque experiences. Take a ride on the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway for incredible views of the mountains as you soar up to the top. Or book a hot air balloon ride to see the city from the sky, floating among the clouds like the air sign you are.
The ExxonMobil Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta® occurs in the middle of Libra season. This spectacular display of colors will leave any Libra in awe. Plan your trip during the week for fewer crowds and more hotel availability. Libras will also enjoy the Globito Glow in the Village. This event will celebrate the upcoming Route 66 centennial along the old Route 66 in the village of Los Ranchos. Experience 66 remote-controlled globito balloons lining 4th Street – the perfect setting for a photo.
Where to Eat

Libras tend to be indecisive. They don’t have to choose when they visit Sawmill Market, 505 Central Food Hall or Park Square Market. Each of these food halls offer a wide variety of cuisine, so it’s easy to choose a few options that look the tastiest. For unassuming but delicious comfort food, stop by local favorite Flying Star Cafe. With locations on Rio Grande and in Nob Hill, the dishes are sure to please even the pickiest eater.
Libras will love the serene beauty at Albuquerque’s wineries. Stop by Casa Rondeña Winery or Gruet Winery to sip a glass of wine while admiring the tranquil surroundings. Find more Albuquerque wineries on the Albuquerque Wine Trail.
