I am doing a bit of research on Libra and would like your feedback. Some of these questions could be difficult to answer, so I ask that you attempt to answer as honestly as possible.

1. How do you identify with the planet Venus? How do you view Venus as part of your Sun's natural expression?

2. What is your reaction to disharmonious situations (what is your thought process and how do you resolve your reaction)?

3 What is your reaction to individuality vs relationship? What do you believe is the constructive function of individuality as a part of existence?

4 How do you view Envy in your personality? What are the constructive and destructive results of your experiences with Envy.

5. Does part of you revel in suffering? Does a part of you seek out or feel intrigued by the idea of observing people in difficult situations? If so, what do you seek to understand about those situations?

6. A lot of time is spent talking about the beautiful and Just sides of Libra, but what about Libra's archetype do you believe could be misunderstand as downright "evil"?

1. How do you identify with the planet Venus? How do you view Venus as part of your Sun's natural expression?

Personally I am very in touch with Venus. I am a Libra Sun and Mercury with Venus in Leo conjunct my descendant in the 7th house. Venus is one of four dominant planets in my chart. I live in the land of Venusians. Venus isn't my soul, but it's my heart and my ego. I've been told I exude grace and elegance, unintentionally, just the gifts of Venus. Growing up my friends used to always say, that I may be many things but above all I did everything with class. Which I appreciated. Being at home on Venus is why it's so easy for me to recognize other Venusians. I'm a honest lover, I've always been psychotic about unfairness and injustice. When I was a kid I used to get in trouble for talking too much and for defending people, peacefully of course. I love vibrant tones in spring and neutral tones in autumn. I love music, literature and art and volunteer in the arts.

2. What is your reaction to disharmonious situations (what is your thought process and how do you resolve your reaction)?

---

My reaction to disharmonious situations is an immediate headache and frustration. Sometimes I break out in hives, because I get stressed at the drop of a hat. My thought process is always to mediate. I do it to keep the peace but I always get to the root of the situation so it can be solved because I never like to go back to square one. I invest a lot of energy into mentally synthesizing a complex situation and attempting to mediate, therefore it does depress me when all that work leads to nothing. It actually hurts when my lawyer like mind fails to settle a dispute.

3. What is your reaction to individuality vs relationship? What do you believe is the constructive function of individuality as a part of existence?

---

I have Aquarius Rising and I consider individuality paramount. Nothing is more important than individuality. Defining yourself, knowing who you are, and being true to your very essence. I have Venus in the 7th which means I should be fanatical about relationships and I am, but only second to individuality. It's so easy to lose yourself, it takes time and honesty to truly understand who we are. Relationships are what make living exceptional but you have to know who you are first. There can be no balance between individuality and relationships. If your are true to yourself and honest about who you are, it allows you to be more accepting of others and to establish relationships free from expectations and obligations, relationships purely for happiness and virtue.

4. How do you view Envy in your personality? What are the constructive and destructive results of your experiences with Envy.

---

Honestly I'm not envious because I consider envy a misrepresentation surrounding possessions in life. I'm going to take a cultural studies interpretive response to this question because that's my background. I don't have envy I have an inability to accept disparities in life. I hate imbalances among the masses, social, economic etc. In truth we can't own anything outside of ourselves therefore what's the point of being envious. Property does not exist, you can not own land, money, anything we've created. Materialism and possessions are just false illusions. We can not own or possess anything therefore there is no need to be envious.

quote:

---

5. Does part of you revel in suffering? Does a part of you seek out or feel intrigued by the idea of observing people in difficult situations? If so, what do you seek to understand about those situations?

---

No part of me revel's in pain or suffering. My interest in global issues and problems affecting our world have nothing to do with self interest, it has to do with my innate need to make a difference. My desire to live in a unified and harmonious world. I don't need suffering to justify my existence or to make it easier for me to utilize my innate mediating skills. I'm disgusted by injustices and want nothing but to assist those not capable of assisting themselves. So we all can live and correct the imbalances facing our planet. I seek to dissolve pain, so no one has to endure suffering. I seek to share joy and peace and happiness with others.

I have four placements in Libra including my moon so I'm answering this 5h1t lol.

1. I don't really identify with Venus in most of the typical sense other than having an appreciation for beauty and the arts. But I'm not really very Venusian in terms of my own personality at all.

2. I hate conflict, but I will argue or go to battle over stuff if I have to or if it's important enough. But usually when it comes to random crap like jerky people I don't know well, I prefer just to not waste the energy on them and keep my interactiosn with them to a minimum.

3. The whole stereotype of the clingy Libra that needs to be in a relationship doesn't really apply to me; I have prominent angles/placements in Aquarius and Uranus angular so that mitigates a lot of that I think. So while yeah, I do want a relationship I don't NEED one and I don't need to constantly be surrounded with people either.

4.I'm not envious or jealous-hearted. Never have been and I don't really understand the emotion.

5. This sounds more like a Piscean thing than a Libran one. The Pisces tendency towards martyrdom or feeling like they need to save someone or be saved. Not something I experience at all. I don't seek out difficult experiences or like to observe them either. The stuff you hear about the peace-loving Libra who doesn't like disagreements and for the boat to be rocked, is all true. If stuff like that comes up I'll deal with it, but I don't seek it out and in fact go out of my way to avoid it.

First of all, I'm not a libra sun. But I'm a libra moon, venus and mercury. I have my 7th house in libra, my juno in libra and my moon conjuncts my venus by 2 degrees so I'm very libran in general. Suspect I'm more libran than alot of libra suns.

1.I used to be gentle and somewhat of a tomboy (aries rising afterall) as I grew older, this sensitivity, gentleness became more profound bc I grew girlier and began to dress more feminine. I've always been really creative, and I do take an interest in the arts. I used to design outfits when I was like 8 lol and as a small child (like at 3) would draw pictures constantly. I have a really good artistic eye, and do gravitate towards artsy things (in all sense of the word). I like writing stories and used to write poetry occasionally. I have this disdain for all things tacky and garish. I remember when I was 10, this girl used to tell me I was posh. Lol I didn't quite get it at the time.

2. Don't know if it's karma, but all my life I'm been experiencing conflict. In my family especially. The constant conflict and dysfunction causes me anxiety. I get visibly distressed, I freeze sometimes and have difficulty breathing when people yell. I usually feel closed in also, so have a habit of walking away when things get too heated.

3.I am quite uranian so don't tend to like too much togetherness. THere needs to be a balance. I need my space. I don't have a fear of being alone. I don't constantly need to be with sb. I'm happy being my own person. It doesn't scare me.

4. I find jealousy a waste of energy and time.

5. I hate injustice, and no I never take pleasure in seeing any type of pain. The libra side of me wants everyone to be content. When I see others in pain, I get really upset. Maybe that might be cos I have some aspects in my chart that makes me extra empathetic lol.

1. Although in the 7th, Venus is disposited by Mars which is the final dispositor of my chart. So she loves a good fight, is naive and hot blooded. It’s placed in a very tight conjunction with Aries Sun and Mars.

2. I can handle it. Pluto in the 1st and Saturn conjunct ascendant make sure that I can live with people not liking me. That being said, I absolutely hate loud noises (music too when it’s not supposed to be loud) and disharmonious environnements. I once survived for one hour in a heavy metal bar, just to prove that I can do it.

3. Undecided, of course lol. I am struggling for perfection, trying to reconcile my desire for closeness and the one for individuality. Individuality is very important to me since I tend to lose myself in relationships and eventually become the other person. I’m like a mirror, but working hard to correct this.

4. I sometimes envy others, but I think it has to do with other placements in my chart (Pluto and strong Neptune). Once I realize that they are human just like you and me, I’m able to feel compassion and also very thankful for what I have.

5. No, almost never. It takes a lot of heartache or prolonged periods of depression to actually feel glad that it’s raining outside, so to speak. I sometimes revel in my suffering, but that would be Saturn, Pluto and a pinch of Neptune.

6. Libra is always trying to present a balanced scale. The key word is “present”. Most of the time, the scales are tipped one way or the other. I strive for harmony and balance but it is so difficult to achieve. Also, remember that Libra is an Aries who went to manners school They don’t call it “an iron fist in the velvet glove” for nothing. Libras can be very manipulative and maybe downright evil (but there must be some placements in Scorpio, that’s my guess). My best friend once figured out that I always start my phrases with “If you want to, we could…” and told me to drop the first part, since we always end up doing what I want anyway.
From what I’ve seen, the shadow side of Libra can be manipulation, shallowness and indecisiveness to the point where it drives Libra (and Libra’s close ones ) to go berserk.

hehe i want to answer these questions before i read any other posts and see if theres similarities!! :3

ima libra sun/mars/merc conjunction

1. i totally identify with venus, i deffinately consider it "my" planet. i can identify with it health wise, traits, appearance, etc. my rising sign is also in taurus so im double venus, plus my venus is oppose the ascendent in the 7th house strengthening its placement but sort of detrimenting it also with it being in scorpio conjunct pluto. but all the more i feel like its influence is really strong in my personality and i sort of dont believe in the concept of a planet in a sign "weakening" it just becuase my venus is not weak by all means. even thouhg my libra sun is conjunct mars i dont think it alters my libraness at all, infact i think it makes the way i act out on my libraness all the more true. ive always been very artistically inclined and i cant help but be creative in everything i do. i love aesthetics, comfort, good food, art especially, music, and loove, not just in a relationship way either but everyone and everything.

2. i really dont like disharmous situations or confrontation. it makes me really nervous and i get really uncomfortable so i just sort of walk away or try to avoid the situation. and if someone is getting agro at me ill just sort of try to handle the situation in a calm way or try to "laugh" it off. but if it comes down to it and if someone is really trying to "pick" on me or whatever, when i really feel like the situation isnt being fair, then my temper will start to really smolder and ill give them my perspective which is usually "fair" and truthful and will put someone in their place as im told. even when im upset, i make sure to word myself in an appropriate way and i guess it still doesnt even come out in full force to how i feel. if i cant avoid confrontation it will make me soo stressed out OH EM GEEEE, and i really really do not like working or being around really negative people, ive come to realize how much my moods are affected by people i interact with on a daily bases, that could be my neptune aspects too, it trines my ascendent by 0 degrees and my moon, also aspecting my sun, mars, merc, and every other planet.

3. uhm i feel like there needs to be some independence/individuality as well as close relationships and bonds with other people. i really do enjoy being with my boyfriend allll the time and i dont mind being with people i love and what not. im very individualistic and my own person with my own interests but i feel like i also get exposed to a lot of things from my experiences from other people, learning alot from other poeple as well. i enjoy my freedom, privacy and personal quirks but i dont really think that interferes with my relationships becuase its all about acceptance and working together yeeeee! i can see myself in other poeples shoes all the time so i can get absorbed in other people but i dont really lose myself or anything.

4. i dont know if i have issues with envious feelings. if someone has nice things or is pretty i dont typically have negative feelings towards them, i just compliment them and make a mental note that one day i want that haha. or that their lucky or they have good taste yodda yodda yodda.

5. im actually very drawn to peoples experiences including their sufferings and how they handled it within themselves. im majoring in psychology soo i really like hearing peoples experiences and reactions to what happens in their lives. i dont know if i really revel in it myself though.
