When a Libra goes bad: A cautionary tale. Libras have keen powers of observation and judgment. They're symbolozed by the scales and enjoy nothing more than to weigh and balance an argument. They make good judges.
However, a problem arises when they create an argument, where there was none before. One Libra I knew well would deliberatly orchestrate a fight between two friends, just so he could put himself in the middle with both of them trying to "win him over" to their side.
He really enjoyed the feeling of authority this gave him, sitting in the middle, hearing both sides of the fight, and making rational and reasonable sounding comments. He thought he was the mediator- when really he was the instigator! After creating five or six fights between them, his victims would begin to dish dirt on each other. They would tell him every bad thing they knew about their "friend" that might damage their credibility. Even to the point of exaggerating or lying. They did this to gain his approval and get him to "see it their way." Meanwhile, he was drunk with power, and knew many ill-gotten secrets.
The result: many people I knew who had been close friends for years were no longer speaking to one another after he was done. Some of them figured out his game, but by then it was too late. IP: Logged |

gosh!
*horror stricken*
thats a horrid tale of power struggles really!
i had no idea a Libra could be like that lol
it really is such a sad state of affairs
I would look into his Pluto placement, Mars, and Scorpio placements as well. He obviously has some power/control issues, as well as ego issues, and major conflict problems. Not to mention he seems inherently evil!
*shudders*
My brother is an amiable Libra man who always compromised his own rights and liberties to maintain harmony in our grief stricken, extremely dysfunctional household. After these many years, he took an unexpectedly STUBBORN stand about saying NO to arranged marriage. He broke off an engagement and simply said NO about 1 million times till everyone was tired of crying, screaming , yelling etc. and gave in. I secretly admire him but also am horrified because I know I will never have the same strength in me, when the time comes for me to go through the same torture (which is soon....)
He has a Cappy moon. He's almost all cardinal around his chart. Libras can really come to action when they want to, but it all depends on WHEN they want to.
Btw nice graphics 
They really helped convey the story lol IP: Logged |

Hmm... I am a Libra but I can honestly say that I have never been so... evil? Heh.Librans are known to be non-confrontational and lovers of peace, BUT if they want to get rid of you, they'd probably use another person's hand and be spectators themselves. IP: Logged |

Another topic about us Libras! Hooray!I must admit that I do like to start an argument when there wasn't one before, merely because I crave to see the reaction I would get.
BUT I know where to tow the line and I would never do what that guy did! It's too abusive of Libras power!
There is something serious not right with him.

Ahhhhhh!!I've seen that too... I've often wondered if it was unintentional, or if they enjoy mental olympics and being more clever than everyone else, thus starting stuff between people so they can 'save the day' with their logic... *puke* Of course, I've never seen it in libran females.

You know, I swear I've met 2 different types of Libra guys in my life...the ones who are friendly, rather unassuming, and likes to keep the peace, but also uses their strength to help them along on their own path, and then these ones!! "He thought he was the mediator- when really he was the instigator!" I've met Libras who had this exact mind-set. ARGH! I'll never forget the one who would try to start fights with me, or once tried it between my friend and I (which didn't work as she was a Scorpio and knew what was up from the start haha!).

I had a male friend who is libra with moon in scorp. He can be quite challenging, but more in the way of being dishonest. I found the friendship very difficult and after trying to suss out the vibe, I came to the conclusion that he is a "game player", likes to control his relationships, albeit very subtely, and the final straw came when a clairvoyant friend of mine said "he is playing games with you Sue and you are just too direct for him", I thought this for a long time, but was so fond of him I couldn't admit it. I am not in contact with him anymore. It scares me to think that someone who you thought to be a friend could be so manipulative and dishonest - NEVER AGAIN. XXIP: Logged |

Yes, this guy also lost all his friends one by one, as they grew tired of the drama. Many have said it wasn't worth knowing him.IP: Logged |

I'm a Libra and I'm ashamed to say that I can relate to the scenario you just described. When I was younger, at High School I would often find myself becoming the third part to a pair of best friends and subconciously causing chaos between them, just as you described. It's only in hindsight that I can see what I was doing, at the time I would be surprised and heartbroken when my friends inevitably discovered what I was doing and instantly feel like the victim. It wasn't evil, it was to get a reaction and it just happened naturally. Because of the blessing that is so often a curse to Libras, seeing both sides of a situation, I felt I completely understood each parties viewpoint and position in their friendship with the other, and I would empathise with both of them, sometimes at the others expense. Glad to say I've changed my ways now, but it took a Scorpio sting from one of the people I had pitted against each other to snap me out of it!IP: Logged |

Thank you for your candidness Mardou-I think it was totally subconscious on this guys part as well. It was as if you were quoting him "I can see both sides, I understand where you both are coming from." Drove them pig-biteing mad.

I have five placements in Libra including my sun and while I recognise this scenario in a male libran (former) pal, myself I have only been accused (by scorpio) of self-induced crisis to gain attention, but I don't think I'm doing it. She says I make myself appear needy to others, but I believe myself to be very independant and not needy at all! I travelled the world 3 times with only my daughter and no promise of security at the end of the road - I've forged my own path!  But sad to say, I have recognised there are manipulative librans out there - maybe that's more to do with personal insecurity!

I'm afraid I can't stand any of them, men or women.One I know stole my husband some years ago and he spent the last year of our marriage trying to bump me off in various ways so he could move her in. She married someone else eventually but tries to throw her weight around in the community and is hated by so many people it's unreal. Mind you she is deeply narcissistic and a big Facebooker so she actually gets off on this hate. Any sh*t people give her she posts online, I guess so whatever "fans" she has who don't live in the immediate vicinity will say "oh you're not like that really dear". The funny thing is that all the stuff people throw at
her that she has posted online is drop dead true and in a sense she is double bluffing by putting it up there because she knows it's all true. How someone can stand to be so hated I don't know, but she gets off on the energy of it I suppose. As she does on the internet admiration of people who aren't really friends. This fakery is beyond my comprehension but it is best to view these kinds of people as ill. Being an Aries I find it hard to deal with the dishonesty otherwise.

My brother is a libra with heavy 8th house influence (Moon in 8th house) And he is not exactly this way, but he does like to start confrontations, even with me, his own sister! It's horrible for me to watch, he always tries to start a fight and because he is "the boss" and an authority people always takes his side, not because they want, but because he is the boss, as simple as that. He can seem so frightening just in his own persona that you dont want to get against this guy....he is going to destroy you, inside and out. He is an evil libra  IP: Logged |

I'm libra AC/Venus/Pluto and I'd rather die than have to endure others drama or even worse create drama just to be in the middle of it. I don't even like to have multiple friends because of the stupid arguments it creates as one person wants to be closer or the favorite...it's retarded games. I can't stand it, I run from ppl who always seem to be issue makers.IP: Logged |
