You have a tendency to obsess over the perfect goal and how to achieve it. Of course, this isn’t unusual. Yet you tend to base your own feelings on the reaction of others. Here is a secret: make what you feel and what you care about the most important. Base those goals on that and that alone.
Confrontation only fuels battles, while silent strength defeats them
The phrase “Be true to yourself” is about an ideal—and it is an appealing one. However, for most human beings, it really isn’t possible. For you as a Libra, it is actually a challenge. Of course, this is simply because, as a Libra, you are often swayed by others. There’s what you have on your mind, yet others could have an entire agenda that is very different from yours. You’ll try hard, not only to understand what they want and their demands, but to go more deeply—your hope being to achieve greater insights about their thinking and views.
Your challenge is to acknowledge that they live in an entirely different world, and that as much as you would like to share those feelings, you’re unlikely to understand them fully. In some cases, with certain individuals—no matter how much of a Libra you are—their ideas will be as foreign to you as if they were speaking another language.
This is the secret of being born a Libra, and under the rulership of the scales. That balance swings back and forth, but you wouldn’t have anything to balance if you weren’t dealing with individuals who live in a different world, have a different way of thinking, and a different set of values and ideas. Once you understand them, not only will you not mind being mystified by what makes them tick, you will enjoy the process of coming to terms with that.
There are many tales—songs, novels, plays—about the swings in close relationships. However, there is a joy in this. For you, as a Libra, discovering that joy is part of the point of dealing with those around you. Once you do that, there may be a little less drama in your life, but there will be a lot more harmony and a lot more sweetness.
You don’t think of yourself as a perfectionist, yet when it comes to eating or working out, you are. While some may appeal for a while, there is another option; to forget about doing it “right,” and simply go for what works in the moment. And when it comes time to make changes, you will do so without regrets.

Only days ago, others were on edge about changes. You were cautious about both questions you asked and suggestions you made. However, not only has the tide turned, things are falling into place, almost magically. A lot of this is a result of the sudden unsettling yet amazingly productive changes.
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.
