For some people, no matter how much you do, for them it isn’t enough. Help them, give them money or support or make introductions, and they’ll want more but show no gratitude. The trick? Do nothing, say a silent “Thank you” to them for teaching you an important lesson, then quietly but firmly walk away.
There are many ways to raise contentious issues. Some seem like a compliment
When those around you ask for your help or assistance, you will usually extend it right away, then pause and think about whether there’s something you can really do that is helpful. Ironically, certain individuals are so good at drawing you in that, before you even know it, you are part of what might be termed their mission, when actually what they are doing is entirely for their own interest and not only won’t help others, it may even be undermining them.
The trick for you as a Libra is to stop and question this. And this is a difficult part: to walk away from the situation without discussing it with the individuals in question. That may seem dishonest, but it is actually the only way to deal with this. Once you have learned it, it is an vital skill to make part of your life.
While relationships are important, individuals who are manipulative in that way must be recognized—and dealt with in precisely that manner. This, then, is about doing something that is essential for you, which is putting yourself first.
It sounds very “new age” to say it is about loving yourself, but it is about exactly that. It may take a while for you to recognize walking away from situations is about loving yourself, but if ever that were the case, it is now.
The message for you is to choose your friends carefully. That may sound silly, but as you know, in the past, you have aligned with certain individuals who seem friendly or who you feel you are able to help, only to discover that they are in some way devouring your time, your money, or even endangering your heart. Recognizing that can be challenging, but it is one of the most important gifts of all.
It is very chic these days to follow a rather strict regimen. However, for you as a Libra and somebody ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, the message is to eat wisely and well. You need treats, and your Libra nature that craves balance will tell you exactly how much of those treats you need and when.
For some people, no matter how much you do, for them it isn’t enough. Help them, give them money or support or make introductions, and they’ll want more but show no gratitude. The trick? Do nothing, say a silent “Thank you” to them for teaching you an important lesson, then quietly but firmly walk away.
Facts may be facts, but this is one of those times during which twists and turns and circumstances will raise questions about both existing arrangements and the plans you’re making. Bear in mind that the changes you’re facing are ongoing, which means that any decisions must be flexible.
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.
