Every now and again it is important to pause and consider whether what you’re putting first is actually your own interest, or others’. While there is nothing wrong with supporting those around you in their pursuits, consider whether their dramas are truly worthwhile or actually are pointless. This may seem cruel, but acknowledging that will then free you to focus on something that is worth your while.
I refuse to listen when others complain that I am not making them happy
As a Libra, you were born under the sign that symbolizes harmony. That’s true, but at the same time, you can get so caught up in disharmony, if not clashes, that you forget about that harmony—and those clashes, those difficulties, those facts that just don’t fit together, can become almost an obsession.
Even more, there are certain individuals who thrive on that and they may draw you into a kind of relationship that is powerful for you, for the Libra side of your nature, yet is ultimately undermining.
You like the passion. However, the more you learn, the more you will realize that that variety of passion actually serves others, not you. More than that, it throws you off balance. Yet disentangling yourself can be difficult, simply because you will worry that you’ll upset others, which is a very Libra concern.
The trick to this, whether it’s a minor issue or something more major—or even something that you’ve committed to—is simply to walk away.
You can give an explanation if you want—or not. Those who you’re walking away from will fully understand why you are doing that. And even more than that, they’ll respect you for looking after your interests. That, alone, is the most important thing—deciding what is good for you and acting in that manner.
As a rational Libra, there is a part of you that can be sensible, but you can also be so swept away by feelings about a situation or an individual that you take things too much to heart and don’t even pause to think about the rational side of that commitment. The lesson is to think first, and commit later.
If you are being advised to eat differently, to exercise differently, to sleep differently, that’s probably good, but actually there is one thing that you can do, particularly if you’re stressed. That is to breathe—and to breathe deeply. Do that and you’ll be amazed how much better you feel about what’s going on in your life.
Every now and again it is important to pause and consider whether what you’re putting first is actually your own interest, or others’. While there is nothing wrong with supporting those around you in their pursuits, consider whether their dramas are truly worthwhile or actually are pointless. This may seem cruel, but acknowledging that will then free you to focus on something that is worth your while.
On rare occasions, an idea or offer appears almost magically. While there’s no question that it’s worth pursuing, it would involve a serious change, not only in some element of your life, but also in your attitude about one particular activity or pursuit. Still, it is worth overcoming those objections.
Libra: SEPTEMBER 22 – OCTOBER 21
Ruler: Venus
Symbol: The Scales
Element: Air
Flower: Rose
Being ruled by Venus, the goddess of elegance, beauty, and love, you as a Libra have an instinctive elegance and talent for making others—everybody you meet—feel special. This talent often becomes your career, and those personal links develop into a lifelong passion. Your flower is the rose; your herbs are redolent mint and sorrel; and ash and poplar are your trees. Jade, in its infinite shades, is your stone.
