“FIRE AND ICE”

Life is a roller coaster for those with this personality style – and they’ll insist that you come along for the ride. From the peaks to the valleys, intensity imbues their every breath. These women and men yearn for experience, and they jump into a new love or a new lifestyle with both feet, without even a glance backward. No other style is so ardent in its desire to connect with life and with other people. And no other style is quite so capable of enduring the changes in emotional weather that such a fervidly lived life will bring.

THE SEVEN CHARACTERISTICS

1. Romantic attachment. These individuals must always be deeply involved in a romantic relationship with one person.

2. Intensity. They experience a passionate, focused attachment in all their relationships. Nothing that goes on between them and other people is trivial, nothing taken lightly.

3. Heart. They show what they feel. They are emotionally active and reactive. These types put their hearts into everything.

4. Unconstraint. They are uninhibited, spontaneous, fun-loving, and undaunted by risk.

5. Activity. Energy marks this style. These individuals are lively, creative, busy, and engaging. They show initiative and can stir others to activity.

6. Open mind. They are imaginative and curious, willing to experience and experiment with other cultures, roles, and value systems and to follow new paths.

Libra ? I think I see where you're coming from but...

"Unconstraint. They are uninhibited, spontaneous, fun-loving, and undaunted by risk."

I would say Libra felt very daunted by risk, or anything else which might reveal itself to be unpleasant. They would not be genuinely spontaneous, they'd first weigh up both sides of the decision.

"Activity. Energy marks this style. These individuals are lively, creative, busy, and engaging. They show initiative and can stir others to activity."

Lazy Libra ? active ?
Socially engaging, certainly.
I reckon they'll show initiative if they feel stirred enough to do so - i.e. if something ticks them off enough (eg: Eminem is always trying to make a point about something - if he wasn't continuously provoked by something he disagrees with, would he write songs at all ? The same goes for the Libran guy responsible for writing the heavily satirical South Park. Both their attacks appear to be provoked and so I would not classify them as pure initiative.)

They might "stir others to activity" so that they don't have to do the work themselves ! But I think Aries deserves the title more as their energy is contagious and they're great at generating enthusiam.

FIRE AND ICE ... they're capable of hot and cold almost simultaneously.

Intensity ... given

They are emotionally active and reactive ... very much so

Nanji, my friend, I don't think you're giving us Libras a fair shake here -- but you made some good points, too! You're right about spontanaety; we usually take the time to weigh options instead. BUT you used the old and obsolete (and rather unkind) label for us that Linda Goodman disputed so well. "Lazy Libra"?? Thank you for taking up on that, Pixie. We do devote ourselves wholeheartedly to both working and resting, by turns. And being a Cardinal sign, we are certainly capable of taking risks -- especially for Love.

Scorpio was one of my initial reactions, just from the phrase "Fire and Ice". So I can see whare you're coming from, LibraSparkle.

Those two characteristics don't fit Sag IMO.

Love,
