For relationships, i'm very equal and treat my other half the way I want to be treated and I want that to be reciprocated.

i cannot make a decision; infact I get totally overwhelmed and stressed out sometimes when I have to (gem rising as well). Even the simplest of decisions becomes an all consuming drama to me.

I can see EVERY side of every arguments, plus a few sides that no one else has seen or yet created and I go round and round in circles with it all trying to find the best solution.

However, I make a good counsellor; I don't need to 'take sides' because I understand everyone's view point and I think I have a lot of integrity because of it .

I'm having to learn to be more assertive, because I would maintain the peace rather than ask for my own needs to be met and this let to resentment within myself and total burnout, so I'm learning from that.

Everyone that visits my house tell me it is a home; they totally chill out and love the energies here - I've always had the ability to make a house a home despite little money - I just have a flair for decor and good, harmonious energy.

I had a sad childhood - tried to people please all the time, acted as mediator between everyone and felt totally misunderstood and used, but I'm working on that too

I'm a good writer, so it is told, but my imagination can run riot, and if not contained, can really scare me - I really should channel that energy into writing books or something useful instead of worrying myself

I'm a big one for avoiding conflict - I would far rather suffer myself than stick up for myself if it meant conflict. I can't even ask for someone to pay me back what they owe me.

Oh, and I'm a starter and not a finisher!!

My dad normally gets details right. If the time he gave me is a few minutes late I am actually a Virgo Moon. But I doubt it. I'm a Libra people-pleaser alright.

On my chart it is conjoined with the chart ruler, Pluto, and Trine Saturn (CNJ Mercury). I'm good at handling people who are slightly insane. I started off young.

My elder son has Sun in Libra and I can already see he is going to carry the mantle and be put upon in solving conflicts between people who are a lot older and should know a lot better. *sigh*. He won't be able to help himself. His Libran planets are in the 8th house, just to carry on the theme.

Being able to see (and also tolerate) so many points of view can make it easy to find myself at the mercy of those who aren't so fair/reasonable/tolerant. I really hate that part. But the flip side of that coin is that... I can see and tolerate so many points of view. I learn a lot this way-- not only about topics at hand, but it gives me an enormous ability to empathize with others. Which can sometimes be bad... (see above.)
