Every person I've known who has Libra rising is--one way or another--completely full of themselves, drawing attention to themselves, or their actions, how great they are, "look at what I've done for others," etc.

I've spoken before to a friend of mine into astrology and mentioned that in passing. She smiled and nodded her head. I was expecting to hear some counter-argument from her to clarify things, but she actually agreed.

No, if you have Libra rising, you may not (or who knows, you may) see this in yourself, but I'd still appreciate feedback, but I'm very curious to read the feedback from those who've known other Libra-risers.

I've encountered people like this, but they weren't necessarily Libra rising -- other signs can be this way too -- but I notice it a lot more in teens/20s, especially when looking/hoping to establish a relationship. I think it has much more to do with age/where a person is at in life. Most people outgrow it eventually.

Men can choose wheter they be humble or more attention seeking..

But be carefull for those who seek attention, for if it doesn't come to you, then u will slowly die and feel neglected and lonely..

But she who was humble surpassed her a long time ago...for beneath the surface..

1 shall be rich, and the other empty
1 shall be bitter and the other happy
1 shall be true and the other fake

For such things has always been since the beginning of men and so shall it be at the end.

Choose ur destiny, for this is the world of freedom, but beware, freedom comes with responsibility.

and the outcome is not to be decided by 1 human being, surely this shall not be the case, for they are just like leafs, carried by the winds..but what wind direction shall they take?

Wind of righteousness and truth, or corruption and deceit.

1 shall bring them to the depths of sadness, the other to the heights of happiness.

I can read about the sign Libra for five minutes and fall asleep. With Pisces I can read all night and never a dull moment. Pisces ascendant is much MUCH more fascinating imo.

But, apparently you have this interest in the scales for some reason...

That's the only interesting thing about Libra Ascendant, the opposites and it's not always the case. Sometimes signs are intercepted, etc. The ego conflict is a bit interesting, but that's about it. What else can be done with concepts like war and peace? You can sit there and dream about it but in reality, people like to fight more than they have a desire to get along.

So how large is your sampling? What age range are represented? What kinds of relationships are you talking about (other than your brother which might be caused by other things in his natal or in your synastry with him)? If the other Libra risings of your experience were all S.O.s or "open enemies" or even business partners, that might be explained by the Aries rulership of the DES for a Libra Rising. Someone already mentioned the likelyhood of Leo on the 11th, so it could often be that as well. But even in these instances, the placement of their Mars or Sun would modify how they approach those relationships and the placement of Venus by sign and by house would influence how they present themselves in general.

Frankly, this is the first I've heard of this "tendency" for a Libra rising. You say others responding have noticed the same thing, but one already mentioned that he had his Venus in Leo, so that would make sense in that instance. Another mentioned her sister is only 18. Perhaps the friend that agreed with you have the same circle of friends/acquaintences/co-workers and that would also explain her agreement since you'd basically have been observing the same people.

With only 12 possibilities and 7 billion people in the world, I don't think you've got enough to go on to re-write the general understanding of Libra on the Ascendent.

I'm not looking to re-write the general understanding. I mentioned one not-so-positive trait, and others get bent out of shape. lol What's interesting is that (above) Gemmy said her sister (a Libra riser) dismissed numerology because it said one negative thing about her. Granted, I don't know her sister, but I wonder if that's another tell-tale sign of Libra risers: if you're not heaping praise on them every second, they'll dismiss you, too. lol

There are about a dozen Libra risers I know.

But, that part about Leo ruling (or potentially ruling, if it's not intercepted) the 11th could be key there, constantly seeking the attention of friends.
