I was thinking about this last night. I have a Libra Ascendent and I seem to be able to stand up where many people cannot.

I am not bragging about myself, just wondering about the Cardinal Ascendent, in terms of this.

The Cardinal signs, beginning with the "I AM" principle of Aries each contain a bit of this, but express it in different ways. Mostly this quality simply relates to the Initiating role they play or can play. These signs initiate the seasons and these personalities are the initiators or mood-setters in human interaction.

Cancer's initiating instinct is to go to and meet the human need. It responds in the familial instinctive way of 'taking care' keeping things secure, etc. Feeling in nature, often reactive more than initiating.

Libra's initiating instinct is seen (as an air sign) in initiating human interactions (but often lacking in the follow-through department), for balance and fairness.

Ami, you may be talking more about a planet factor here. Libra types are often people-pleasers and once fully engaged that mode of expression can have difficulty 'standing up' for self.

Standing where others cannot points to empowerment (Pluto) factors (in your first house?) or fire (Sun, Mars).

I have the square to the moon and the opposition to mercury.

Not strong Uranus but it has no aspects except a bi quintile to Venus and it is my only mutable planet.

It's never easy for me. Though I try to put that front up very much. I never like showing myself struggling. I want peace but I doubt it's for me in this lifetime.
