Me as a Libra

Well to start off with, I am of the sign Libra. Putting myself in the spotlight for this moment in time.

Being a Libra can have its challenges, yet it is also rewarding. As it is usually stated, Librans can often be seen as "up in the clouds". With this theory yes I can often find myself daydreaming or thinking up big plans... Following through can sometimes be another matter entirely. With often being called out as having a big imagination, I have always been drawn to creative pursuits, arts and crafts of various mediums... I have an insanely bad habit of starting new projects as I come up with new ideas. Sometimes I get back to the old ones and complete them. Just so many possibilities and opportunities!

As with the Libras symbol of scales, there is always a burning need for balance, harmony even. Always trying to find compromise and seeing all points of view, as a result often finding myself becoming a mediator between people. I really do not like conflict... I enjoy life that looks and feels good. Always wishing to put others first. I enjoy giving everyone a fair go no matter what up until they stretch my moral code too far and create problems, which unbalance how things should be. I can be quite happy in a large group of friends, family and anyone else that crosses my path that I feel I can trust and be myself with. I love making friends, and often get disgruntled when a fellow human shows hostility to me when I just try to include them and become their friend. Which often leaves me wondering, what I did wrong and how can I fix it? I'm not one to have one small fixed group of friends... I have many circles of people that I like, even love to spend time with. Not all of my friends would see eye to eye with each other though. They can all be so different.

Yet I am more than happy to spend time by myself pursuing my many creative pursuits and any new idea that I may discover. I adore the beauty in the world, even in places that other people can not see it. Nature is my inspiration for most things in life. I see beauty in some of the smallest details, that often get overlooked.

In line with the balance, there needs to be a balance with work, family, friends and even my free time. Too much of any area without finding room for the others can send someone like me into turmoil...

Other traits of Libras, which I unfortunately can be guilty of, is struggling with insecurity around others and understanding my 'identity' as a person amongst others. Put on a smile, pull those shoulders back, hold my head high and appear confident in another's presence... Underneath, always weighing up the odds, playing the game of logic instead of going with the flow and gently riding things through... In different stages of my life, some aspects have been easy to overcome more than others. Always seeking ways to 'fit' in, and unfortunately sometimes miss read others reactions and words in responses to me due to being unsure of events at the time. This is another reason why we need some time alone, to get used to who we are and not get so 'touchy' about ourselves and what we may consider our own flaws. Yes, it is a Libran trait, yet I know others who have it that are not of this sign...

I love learning new things and sharing knowledge. To the point, I love it when others I meet show their intelligent sides, and we can share in like-minded discussions. Even share creative pursuits. How people behave morally and their intelligence can certainly be a drawcard for me especially where relationships are concerned. Mental connections...

When it comes to anyone I care about be it family, friends or partners, I am severely loyal and will go out of my way often to keep them happy and safe to the best of my abilities. Especially if someone manages to steal my heart. I mean really steal it... I will want for no one else, as they are my world. Though they have to be aware of the importance that my family play in my life as well. That can not be more proven now that I am a Mum and I am super protective and love them all dearly, that it is difficult for me to be away from them too long. Plus the prospect of them leaving the nest one day definitely pulls at the heartstrings. Finding yet again the balance between a potential partner and my family to share my love, making sure no one feels that they are being left behind.

Yes with how I am as a person, ironically I do hold many traits considered that to be typical of Librans... Astrology can be quite intriguing.

As with proposed compatibilities, that is yet to be decided...
