Notes on Libra
- symbolized by weighing scales, oxen yoke, setting sun halfway below horizon
- this season brings the fall equinox
- air (intellectual and communicative) + cardinal (action-initiating and ambitious) = active intellectual
- rules alliances, cosmetics, furniture, poetry, social affairs
- diplomatic, cooperative, helpful, idealistic, sociable, indecisive, dependent, lazy, self-indulgent
- most satisfied with projects/work that involves relationship/partnership (for them, or other peoples’ relationships)
- natural charm, thoughtful hosts- their homes are comfortable and attractive
- they hate to see people leave- they will somehow get you to stay longer just to Be together, or at least will try to convince you
- enjoy people a lot - they have a desire to share their life with someone(s) but can be more in love with love than the person(s)
- emotional stability related to lack of conflict- will sacrifice almost anything (especially themselves) for peace- this makes them vulnerable to people taking advantage of them
- indecisiveness is a huge hurdle- will always see things from/consider every angle of an argument or situation so it’s hard for them to take sides
ultimate procrastinators !! which makes them seem lazy but, if/when motivated, can do anything well and quickly
-might be easy to persuade them towards any opinion- they can see it that way too !!
- incapable of making a move without consulting someone else
- very creative- might express through style/clothes/home decor
- like to show off new things to share in the joy of having something nice, not to be rude or bragging
- seem easygoing, friendly which masks their highly intellectual nature
- tend to worry over their health a lot
- like to do things their own way- might seem slow moving to others but they’re always moving towards their goals
- they know how to use more subtle techniques to get what they want- more persuasive than manipulative
- good mediators- they understand relationship dynamics well BUT they can’t tell when you’re flirting or when they’re flirting
- very calm until pushed far enough, it’s like a sudden temper (usually surprising)
- outlet for tension is often creative pursuits
- would rather come up with an excuse for someone than have someone be mad at them- it’s soooo hard for them to accept when people don’t like them
- if you believe in past lives: they will inevitably meet past life enemies- can only find resolution with this when they can accept that the relationship will not work, that it’s ok to be disliked sometimes
- very affectionate and loyal
- incredibly soft, easily bruised
- judgmental but messy (in more ways than one !)
