We all have to deal with challenges, to face what is often an uphill climb, but in every case, doing it is an achievement. The important thing for you is to recognize that and not allow others to pretend that what you achieve is in any way due to their inspiration. What you’ve done is 100 percent yours.
Certain individuals are intimidating, but you can outwit them with kindness
Certain individuals live their lives in their own self-created castle and they think that you should feel honored if they decide to share their fantasy existence with you. Be wary of this, though, because this fantasy, this game, is very seductive. For you as a Libra, as an air sign and somebody who is imaginative, you can be drawn into their fantasy world while gradually they make it a real world, and they even begin to exercise some control over you.
This variety of seduction is appealing to your Libra nature, partly because perhaps it allows you to escape from certain rather dull and more mundane situations you are facing in your everyday life.
Yet, if you can manage to take a look at this castle of theirs and say, “That’s a romantic vision, but my everyday life offers me rewards of a more lasting nature,” then you will be able to look at that castle and say, “Thank you for those insights. However, I am going over here to my everyday dilemmas and my everyday joys and my everyday friends. And I’m going to appreciate them all the more because of the rather toxic fantasies you have just exposed me to.”
Then, as you live out your days and your weeks, you will be very thankful for having had that brief but illuminating adventure.
The theme for you is to learn who is fortunate and who is trustworthy. That may seem strange, but actually those individuals who are trustworthy and fortunate don’t always advertise it; they just live a life that may be very simple, but it’s happy. Notice that and spend time with those individuals. This is a variety of contagion that is a welcome one.
Doubt is an important emotion. Sometimes people are criticized for it because they are hesitant, but often that hesitation is an invitation to explore, to gather information, and sometimes if you do, then you will proceed. But in other situations, that doubt is telling you that you need to learn something. It may be that it is either time to back off or possibly even time to say a firm “No.”
We all have to deal with challenges, to face what is often an uphill climb, but in every case, doing it is an achievement. The important thing for you is to recognize that and not allow others to pretend that what you achieve is in any way due to their inspiration. What you’ve done is 100 percent yours.
The last thing you are inclined to do is explain why you’re so cautious about certain matters and protective of certain individuals. You tend to think that if others are unable to see what’s obvious to you, they will never understand. Actually, you’ve been so discreet, you’ve left everybody mystified.
Libra: SEPTEMBER 22 – OCTOBER 21
Ruler: Venus
Symbol: The Scales
Element: Air

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.
