Continuing the tradition of my posts in the last few threads .... I was going to save Libra for last but I saw MemetheZodiac on Instagram did a story where he/she compiled people's messages about Libra ... and I got really annoyed.
So here you go --- Drum droll.... the most beautiful sign: Libra
When I was first introduced to sun sign description, I bought into my description right away because I was the stereotypical aquarius child. However when I read the Libra description for my sibling, it definitely didn't match at all; I didn't experience the fairness, or the idea that they avoid confrontation, the indecisiveness yada yada. In fact, it was my experiences then, and now with several libra sun/moon/rising/venus/mars that they are very opinionated. They always have an opinion about what is right, and they usually think YOU are the foolish one, the one that jumps into conclusion, the one that doesn't consider how they impact other - basically all the negative traits associated with their opposite sign. If you read Tim O'Brien, this is kinda obvious. Libra writers love to discuss in sequences YOUR assumptions first and attack right on at the end how their opinion is the right one. Libra is very independent (try to tell them to do something and see what actions they take lol). They just ask your opinions because they are curious ... and also just to finally check if they haven't gone through in their head how the story goes on your end. Usually, with libras, they go through every scenario how something can play out, and pick the best one if they have time. If they dont, they are well-equipped to make a decision right on the spot.
For the longest time I don't understand how Libra is fair either. They are not like Aquarius -i.e. equality for everyone, justice for everyone - although sometimes they might be. Libra is the only sign represented by an object. They are the judges (cough Simon Cowell and gazillions other judges on talent shows have libra placements). Like a scale, they like to compare the weight of one thing to another, and the final verdict is always obvious ... Libra's fairness is given how much you are worth, given how it feels to be in your shoes, they are gonna be slightly lenient and let you slide a little but at the end of the day when it comes to more important, serious things, they will make a logical decision to pick the better side. Their ways of analyzing can be very mechanical too - i.e. they will list out in their head all the points of your case, and then the other side's. Also, since it is so obvious to Libra who or what is right, they are either straight up in your face, or passive aggressive about how they feel about you.
Which gets me to the next point .... Libra's behaviors vary a lot depending on their relating planets - venus and mars. Usually when a libra is interested in someone, they are going to test that person. Depending on their venus and mars, they are gonna test that person or object differently because these are the planets that set that specific Libra's standard. And every Libra thinks of themselves as having high standards. Libra is the sign that follows Virgo, so after Virgo was done perfectING, Libra wants perfection. How they approach a person, a problem etc also depends on their mars and venus as well. If you get a libra with a passive mars like Cancer or Libra, they are gonna be very passive-aggressive, but they definitely will make moves. I love trolling these passive aggressive Libras, so I would just pretend to not understand their "hints" and force them to beat around the bush a hundred times.
libra's behaviors also vary a lot depends on who they see themselves as. If they do not know themselves, they tend to think they are above everyone else and somehow you are lucky to just have them sitting next to you. Also because Libras are so nosy, they always snoop on others' business and then compare themselves. Actually every single libra placement I know stalks. I used to work for an office filled with libra placements and the ones with them, even just a venus in Libra will be the first one to add me on social media - even though we barely talked. The worst libras are the ones that are so insecure, and yet they want to be the ultimate perfection, so they put on this perfect front and demand your attention and praises, and eventually your relationship with them falls apart once reality becomes clear. Every libra, good or bad, does a little bit of image management. I have had Libra rising friends who told me that I need to not speak about certain items so that so-and-so doesn't think of them as this that or other, even though so-and-so is an unimportant person (Mostly very minor stuff). Obviously we are all humans with our ups and downs so if you know a libra long enough, you will see them battling with self-doubts almost all the time. And Libras like to be known for the things they create (similar to taurus) so they set very high standard for themselves as well. As 12YearsABlob said, everything has to be the perfect proportion so that when it's show time, everything SINGS. And when they are incapable of making the things they want happen, they can be very bitter and resentful and possibly very abusive to the people close to them.
most libras are either first born or middle child and they grow up feeling like they have to be the one who observes everyone and be considerate of everyone. Libras tend to be viewed as the easy-going kid by their parents because they keep their opinions to themselves and they like to please. Side note, Lots of Libras are close to their mothers. As they grew up they tend to think others like them because they put on a front or cater to you at that moment. Most libras are aware that they are not well understood so you fawning over them doesn't really indicate to them that you are gonna love them. Remember this, Libra always go through every single scenario in their head. The insecure libra would start playing mind game with you to see if you actually like them, toy with you but never actually let you to know the real them because they know the version you see is much better than the real version. Many Libras are players.
Now libra rules over relationships, and that means they are very good at identifying potentially beneficial relationships/partnerships and maintaining them. Unlike popular astrology, they are not codependent. Thats the next sign - scorpio. No, Libra want capable people to team up with them so they can be better. I rarely see a libra dating or marrying people doing the exact same thing as them. I.e. say a libra is a great athlete, he/she will want to get married to someone who complements him/her to raise the whole team to another level. He/she isn't gonna marry another athlete, which is what an Aries might be more likely to do. An example is Serena Williams. Also, Libras love eye candy but I virtually never see a libra married to someone physically stunning; usually appearance does matter and they like people who look decent. In fact if you look up all the famous libras, they dont marry models much. I tend to think pure libra energy is into the kinds of relationships like that of Kristen Bell (libra moon) and Dax Shepard.
Speaking of relationships, libras don't really have friends. They have helpful team mates who might proved to be unnecessary in future events. They don't usually care for history - as in so and so has known them for 10 years. Since they don't think you really know them anyway. Libra generally think that when a partnership proves to be unhelpful, they will cut the cords and move on. About 80 percent of Libras I had to deal with, and I dealt with many of them, were absolutely terrible people. The bad libras are the ones that are aware of the "standard", can't live up to it, and start to think they can toy with others and get away with things by just throwing on some charms. The libra girl I used to work with always had her hair down, wear short skirt, high heels ... I mean bad libras are the ultimate femme fatale She only ate 3 kale leaves at lunch. These libras somehow are divorced from the ability to relate to others with compassion, they see what you want, and will use it against you. They do not see themselves as who they are. Almost all Libra with cancer placement (minus one cancer moon, leo venus) I've known backstab. And the backstabbing might not be fully intentional, they might want A and the only way to get to A is by backstabbing you so there you go... Either way, bad libras are very opportunistic. Another classic Libra's move is to cut you off from your allies, either by befriending your allies to isolate you, or to use backhanded methods to ruin your relationship with your allies.
As open minded as Libra seems to be, they are usually quite conservative people - as in they don't change much over time. Remember they are independent thinkers. They might like to try out different dresses, pretending to be different things because drama and playing around are fun. But they are very independent thinkers. And if they think that you didn't like them when they do xyz, and they apologize and you are fine, they might make it a habit to do xyz and then apologize. Because in their head you are the foolish one, and their judgment is still that xyz is not bad. The really bad libras will start nudging you to see how much you'll move your own personal boundaries and standards for them. In fact to many libra, you are an intellectual object with attributes a, b, c, dislikes e,f,g. So unlike scorpio, they dont exactly try to understand why you dislike e f g. They just know that if they don't do e,f,g they will be able to motivate you to do something else that they want you to do. The bad libras aren't that different from the bad cancer to be honest. And if you meet a bad one, do not give them second or third chances. They've shown you early on in very subtle, polite manner (or sometimes not) what their standards are, and if you give them chances they will take it as if you have consented to bad behaviors. Check out Dr Luke lol.
Since it's Libra, I have to exit gracefully ... so here is the cool part
For a long time I was wondering why I always attracted first decan Libras (after the 4th one you have to ask yourself). Geometrically speaking, my aries moon is a skipped step so the libra sun creates a grand cross. Philosophically speaking tho, Libras were meant to teach me the power of partnership. No one will fight harder for a relationship than Libra. All the ones I've known have either suggested to their potential partner or literally flew across the globe for them. Even at work, they will work out all the possible solutions and scenarios before throwing the towel. Good Libras will try to save it until there is no option to save. The good libras do not just see relationships as balancing a scale, you place one item on this side and the other on the other side. No, the reason they want everything to combine and sing is that they understand the synergy created when people come together. When you are able to find the right teammate, you become a part of something bigger than yourself. My aries and cap placements can go at it alone ... but why pick the lesser option? The good Libra sees your potential, your imperfections and can give you pointers to be better. Salman Khan created Khan Academy because he discovered during the learning process, everyone has a part that they find so difficult they give up too early. Good libras try to remove your blockages, because every day they are comparing themselves to others, thinking about how many great people above them and below them and why they need to pull themselves together and strive to be better. Good libras are humble, and they are just trying to help. Really good libras are highly empathetic and compassionate, that's why they are great at sending the most relatable messages to their audience. Most libras, even the muddy water types, would never step on someone who is at his/her lowest points. Libras justify their stepping on you by the idea that you are not gonna be fatally damaged by them.
As I said before, they are either passive aggressive or straight up aggressive. I have never seen a libra afraid of confrontation. If they repeat what you say, or just don't respond, they don't care about you. I have seen Libras walking up to people, saying: "You don't do it like THAT" or libra partners telling their S.O. "did you even consider so-and-so's viewpoint before you act?" Just because they are polite doesn't mean they havent indicated to you how they feel. I.e. my libra rising friend told an aries coworker who wanted to demand an apology from his boss: "You should do it, but don't expect it to work"..... Actually good libras will call you out because you are holding others down from reaching perfection. Venus in Virgo just told me the other day: "I know you can do it. You know you can do it. I believe in you. So why can't you just let go of fears and commit 100%?" That doesn't sound indecisive or unconfrontational to me still they make you feel like you are being complimented while they scold and school you.
Libras are highly competitive. They keep everything really tight. Remember, everything has to be the perfect size and portion and proportion, hun'. Lots of Libras do very well in talent shows. They don't fret under pressure at all. In fact i think they are more focused because they don't have time to play around. Example of Libra stellium keeping it tight
How to capture a Libra's heart?
Libras think most people don't know all their sides, and people are only happy when they cater to them. So you just have to be a strong, authentic teammate on all aspects of their life. Now this is highly dependent on their perception of themselves. If they are a 1 and they think they are a 10 and they deserve all the 10 goodies without lifting a finger, run for life! They will never ever change, and you don't want to consent to their abuses do you?
