I know of a few others who are like this and they all have Libra rising. My Cappy mum would never back down, my Dad said to her once "life isnt always b&w it is at times grey". She is now 80, and still stands firm in that she is right!!! Unfortunately she raised us in a religious household and we became sick of the bible bashing......how strange both my sister and I now are very anti religion......mmm....

Another who is Aries with Libra rising is so in yer face, she is a counsellor, and I know of a few who now avoid her!! I went to see her a couple of times but felt drained when I came out!! She doesnt listen at all.....imagine guys a counsellor who doesnt listen LOL !!!!

The other woman I knew had Taurus sun and Libra rising, I worked with her for a while......she was always talking about her love problems, but never listened.....she drove us CRAZY....you know the broken record syndrome.....

I dont know why this is......anyone......??

Love

My best girl has Libra rising. I don’t know if she’s competitive…but definitely very “in your face” lol I like that about her. She can take care of herself, I’ll tell you that.

You know what’s funny…the son of a friend has Libra rising - he’s a baby, but my gosh, sooooo aggressive...he's got a Virgo Sun.
I adore him, but you have to keep your face away from his…otherwise you’ll lose an eye

I've always been known for being able to take care of myself.

I may be a little "in your face", but not always in a bad way.

I don't much care for conflict really. I'm rarely one to instigate.

Now the Cappie, he hates to lose He has a Libra Asc. also.

I knew a Virgo with Aqua Asc. that was like the Taurus you described.

I could imagine a Sag Libra rising bec. conceivably the Sun might be in 10th, and if it is career-related.... But Aries/Libra?

The young fella who I had a connection with is Libra Sun and cos I challenged him he didnt call me for 6 months....I can feel him saying "I am not making the first move"....he is very of the ilk that the other person is to blame.......it is interesting isnt it, and for my part only observation......I could be totally wrong of course!!

So, yeah, I see it now, thanks Sue and everybody, for the insight!

Libra risings do have a lot of influence over their partners, almost too much.
My last male friend with this placement was my therapist, and he made me promise to break it off with my crazy Gemini b/f which I did. I got the feeling he had feelings for me in a way and couldn't show it emotionally as he would get very intense about it. He then fell for a married Scorpio co-therapist and is still in love with her and trying to get her to leave her libra husband.

It's clear to me, I told him, he's in love with the chase. He was very pushy with me, and the ex Gemini b/f stil hasn't forgiven me for my mental affair with him. Funny how all that air can move you around!

I still care more for water ascendants in the long run than air, but libra risings are specially sensual and kissable. I could live on a kiss from one, and really feel alive and beautiful around libra influences.

i can be pretty hardcore in ideological arguments. i really dont care if someone tries to hurt me emotionally. but if they make a wrong statement about some war 1000 yrs ago or a political inaccuracy boy are they going to get it that is bad. thanx for pointing out room for improvement. i thot i was perfect. JK!

i have noticed that people take an instant like or dislike to me tho. There are people who absolutely wont let go of me. I had a female English professor clasp my hand today I went to her office for office hours. Similarly a Marketing professor took me aside to tell me how great he thinks I am. Ive only been in his class three weeks. harhar. Its very sweet in a way. I feel like some people get to see me down inside--thanks to that Libra rising.

Others tho, judge me v harshly...like my mom...she always describes me as stubborn and arrogant, her favorite two words for me, go figure.

Nat thanks for the kind words I do have this inexplicable sensuality...maybe it is the Venus chart ruler being in the 7th, plus a second house stellium, I am very very Venusian, and Ive been told so many times I have a strange magnetism that is very feminine. Maybe its why I love dance and dolling up so much. hehe. If theres one thing Im loving in my chart its that Libra rising for sure.

Ive also noticed that *certain* Taureans get along particularly well with me. They will confide things in me that they never tell anyone. They have a strange sense of being at home with me, must be Venusian influence, coz I have no planets in Taurus!

Thanks for being so honest!!

I only observe (or is it scrutinize LOL).....I pick up things from people.,....I watch and listen, rather than read a book which is written by one.....I can and have taken in hundreds of viewpoints in the time it would take to get to the end of the book. I ineract a lot, that is how I learn!! Dont they call it "hands on" these days (mmm sounds good to me).

I really appreciate that honesty....you feel very "real" to me. II am the first to admit that my Aries rising, especially in the past got me some reactions....jumped in too quickly...Waternymph will know what I mean,.....hey girl? It causes/caused some to gasp....people did always add...but you seem to get away with it...is this the devilment I wonder? I hold a twinkle in my eye. Evenso some arent ready for that frankness!!!

So again thanks for helping me to understand and learn, I just like to test my intuition, it is an interest for me to grow and learn constantly....I am that hungry child......and you guys feed me with you honesty.....yum yum!

Thansk again Secret, you rock girl - I bet you are dynamite when challenged (LOL)

As for your mother - she seems to miss the charm, the strength the fight in you - is she a little scared to show the positive feelings...or may I dare to utter the J word...is she just a tad jealous of you girl?

Love and learning to all

He only liked pretty things. Never had a woman that wasn’t skinny and pretty. But he’d have an empty, morally dubious or deep-as-a poodle woman. He only wanted a pretty thing that would not give him problems to have sex with. He was way too superficial about values, too loose and weak about everything as soon as it was nice looking. Non-confrontational to ridiculous limits. He would ruin his life in exchange of avoiding conflict. He would not fight for anything and I despised him for that.

Charming to silly extremes. He needed the approval of every woman on Earth and begged like a puppy for female smiles and giggles. Irresistibly cute even when he was far from good-looking. Powerfully attractive and magnetic.

Hey Streelrose, thanks for that......you write clearly and interestingly!!

My husband came home from a jam at 3am this morning, and when we were chatting about his evening....he said one of the musicians asked him yet again to do something involving selling stuff which my hubbie had refused to do on several occasions? This mustve been the 4th or 5th request and yet again he said no!!! He then looked at me and said "bloody Libras, do they ever listen"? Very topical I thought!!! LOL !!!

No offence guys, there is plenty about the other signs I have observed.....and again your honesty touches me.....how else would we grow if we didnt see our faults as well as our gifts......now when am I ever gonna learn to keep that bloody Aries quiet...get down boy !!!!!

Love to all

I get angry very easily when someone tries to disrupt my routine. That's just the Cancerian in me, but I really like to win an argument. I won't "hide away". I'll stay and fight what I think is right! No one can shove me around.

What makes me really aggressive is when someone questions my emotions. That's when I "go for the kill", lol. I use every resource I can to win. Questioning my logic is too not a good thing. Even my best friend John (Sag Sun/Aquarius Moon and Rising) says I'm tactful, but a bit too blunt. Who knows.. It's such a horrible habit when you're arguing with friends, but it helps when you're on Debate Team :-D.

On the otherhand, sometimes... I don't want to say anything anymore. Maybe if I've spent the past few days fighting with people or working alot, I just go home earlier or not go out at all for the rest of the week. It's really a balancing act. I suppose it's all in the situation you're in.

btw i absolutely hate him as u can tell, he jilted me at the altar, he deserves every kick in the @ss he can get.

i mean, to get back to ur example, couldnt it be said that the wonderful Libra asc was wasted on a scorp?

it would be considered judgemental, no?

also, if he was a scorp with libra rising, maybe his sun in the 12th gave him that quality, becoz 12th house suns have always been a little difficult for me .

All the things I didn’t like about him, who made him despicable to my eyes were very libran (not saying that libras are despicable… only that his despicable qualities were libran). It’s in the taste of everyone, someone could love them but I truly found them awful.

That obsesive cult to beauty. That steticism. That inability to fight and confront. That cheap charm used to inflate his ego and use beautiful bodies for his pleasure. That volatility. That inability to cope with truth because it was ugly. All those things specially applied to sex and love. Because as you said he was plainly ugly. And I still loved him. But he dared to scorn fat people and snobbishly reject women who weren’t pretty or skinny. “Beauty is all” kind of thing. A very superficial outlook on life for a 40 year-old… Specially confronted with a Virgo with strong Sag influences, a purist with high morals.

Charm and beauty cult are very Libra, aren’t they? That intensity and crude outlook of truth I love in Scorps was veiled by them. That’s what I meant…

His Sun was in the second house, though… But he had a Pisces Moon, what didn’t help either…
