I've talked a bit about this guy before..we're just friends so that's why I'm not making a huge deal about this..but it is kind of weird to me. Basically it's like sometimes we're having these stand offs to see who will text each other first (or at least that's how it seems to me). So say my friend will text me on Monday "good morning" I'll reply back usually about 10 mins later depending on if I'm busy or not. I'm thinking cool we'll chit chat for a bit and catch up..but NOPE! He won't respond again until A WEEK LATER on almost the exact same day and then I'll respond..and the cycle just continues...It's so weird to me. Like who text a person two words just to ignore the reply for a week and then text them again? lol Is he trying to see if I'll crack and text him again..because he's **** outta luck on that! His moon squares my pluto exactly and my pluto sits in my 3rd house..so maybe that's why it feels like we're having a battle of who will text again? But I never do lol I figure I'm the last one who text so it's YOUR turn to reply.Him: Sun: Libra Moon: Cancer Mercury: Scorpio Venus: Scorpio Mars: Scorpio Me: Sun: Taurus Moon: Virgo Mercury: Gemini Venus: Pisces Mars: Libra As you can see from my mercury I like to communicate and chatter but apparently he does not! But he'll still text his two words weekly anyway lol Other than the weird texting thing we have a pretty easy connection our moons sextile each other, our venuses trine each other and our moons and venus are in harmony with each other. My thinking is that the connection is maybe too easy and there is a little bit of taking the other person for granted thinking they'll always be there? Who knows, but I'm just wondering if this is just an air sign thing or an unspoken power struggle we're having? IP: Logged |

*sigh* 37...Maybe it could be that 3 of his planets conjunct Uranus..but they are WIIIIIDE conjunctions. Only thing I know is he does get busy with work A LOT he does IT for a chain of fast food restaurants so he's always running around. Like I said I'm not really trippin over it because we aren't dating or anything..I just find it odd at best. Maybe texting once a week is to let me know he hasn't forgotten about me? Who knows lol

No. I don't think that's like any demographic. It sounds as if he goes through a list on Monday morning because he feels obligated to text people at least once a week. To text "good morning" at someone once a week? Strange. IP: Logged |

Well the monday thing is an example, like for instance today around 8am he sends me a "good morning" I reply good morning back..then *crickets* lol to his credit we do have days where he'll extend the conversation a bit..but then after I send my last reply..nothing for a week! But it's all good I guess he's doing his thing and I'm doing mine..albeit a bit strange he is consistent with his strangeness and I can't complain about that haha! IP: Logged |

^^This. Even as a Gemini I tend to butt heads with Libra energy. However from what I've observed they try really hard to get along with people, be polite (once you stand up to 'em), and stay in touch.
If you're hoping for something romantic, he's probably not interested. It sounds, from my experience, he's just a typical Libra staying in touch. No games. I had a "thing" with a Libra once upon a time, it was most likely one way. If I called at 3 or 4pm and didn't get them, the instant they got home they would call me back. Most times it would be around 10:30 or 11pm at nite - just to see if it was anything important. Then would excuse themselves to have dinner or wash up. It was magical. They were direct, but always polite. I was smitten, volatile. It was a huge misunderstanding. As an adult this was the first person I remember loving - I had pMoon in Libra at the time, what can I say.

Well as I stated above we're not dating, just friends I just found it weird. He's not obligated to text me as I'm not obligated to text him, so why bother in the first place? Just text me when you have something important to say lol I should probably stress it's not the EXACT same time every week but close enough..actually ok I'll be honest we met on a dating site and I notice on days when I log on he'll text me like 20 mins later lol. So yea I don't know what to make of that one but whatever. IP: Logged |

I knew a cancer sun, aries moon, libra rising guy who did the same thing!! After I got sick of it and stopped communicating with him for a year, he reconnected with me...started talking again but I was not I to him, I accidentally didn't respond to one of his texts and he FLIPPED out on me. I won't ever speak to him again..it's just weird! IP: Logged |

Why the heck would he flip out if he was only texting you randomly? You don't owe him anything. I have friends I've known for 20+ yrs that when they text me I don't always text them back right away or at all, but they def wouldn't flip on me..lol that's crazy! IP: Logged |

I don't know, I think it's the ego of the cancer on top of the emotions of an aries, its explosive! IP: Logged |

No... most Libras are not like this... Neither are Libras with Scorpio influence of which I've attracted many in my life. But Cancer Moon can sometimes behave in a strange way, if they misinterpret something you did. I've had Cancer Moon people react very oddly just because I forgot to call them.. or message them. They instantly assume you are rejecting them and then try to get back at you. The smallest thing can trigger a Cancer Moon meltdown. IP: Logged |

OMG ^ I hadn't read your reply when I initially posted. But that is exactly the kind of thing that happens to me with Cancer-types. quote: I have friends I've known for 20+ yrs that when they text me I don't always text them back right away or at all, but they def wouldn't flip on me
I'm the same.. because I might forget to reply or I might be busy doing something else. With Cancer and sometimes Pisces (specially when you are romantically involved) if you don't reply right away - They lose it. You'll see a side of them you've never seen before :\ IP: Logged |

I kind of think it's more cancer to, they get crazy if they think they are being ignored. I guess in their minds your trying to hurt or manipulate them and everyone knows they are the only ones allowed to emotionally manipulate and control others, they own the monopoly on that!! It's more than mildly annoying, you just got to rise above their manipulation and keep smiling! IP: Logged |

Hmm..well there was one time he text me and I didn't respond for 3 days and he didn't flip..but I must add he is VERY passive and we've only known each other for a little bit, so maybe he's not comfortable yet showing the meltdown side lol Honestly with all the Scorpio in his chart and having dealt with Scorpios for the majority of my life I'm feeling like this is a control thing. But it's very weird and unnecessary. I only attributed to libra because sometimes air signs kind of come and go as they please. I should add his sun is at like 29 degrees libra so he's practically a scorpio anyway lol. IP: Logged |

I have a lot of libra in my chart, it's my chart ruler, libra AC...and Venus is conjunct Pluto on AC. I've never acted like that...if I don't text I literally got busy and it slipped my mind. Generally Libras are very conscious of good manners, even if I don't like someone I will try to respond because it's impolite not to. We like to keep everything in balance and harmony, something like that would get me out of whack and id feel bad! I wouldn't have a melt down but I'd definitely try to respond ASAP so I didn't offend anyone, I'd apologize for the time gap also. IP: Logged |

Nope, no apology just "good morning"..in the beginning he used to send me random pictures too I didn't mind and I'd always respond and comment on what he sent. The last time he did that was last Tuesday..then today the random good morning text lol I must say though when we hang out we talk A LOT..last time he came over, as he was leaving we were standing by my door and I was like well it's probably getting late and he's like yea and then something else popped up and we started talking again. lol Maybe he's just better with in person contact than texting? Well either way I'm not pressed about it and will just continue to respond to them. IP: Logged |

If the Sun/Moon square each other that would create issues also....you wouldn't know which sign to expect! Lol You could get talkative libra in person then later an upset cancer becomes moody because they expected something more or different, so they start playing games.

That's it right there. I mean I'll admit that what's been said about Cancer is true- Suns (me) are crazy, and I imagine Moons can be worse if they haven't worked on themselves- very weird and manipulative...but also fear and sensitivity can result in erratic behavior from a Cancer. But what you wrote above resonates with me. If I like you, I hate texting for more than updates and touching base. If we can't see each other regularly, I need more intimate interaction than texting. I need to hear you laugh, not read "lol" IP: Logged |

Our suns and moons aren't aspecting each other, but our moons are sextile. I will tell you the day we met the Sun was inconjuncting the moon kinda found that interesting. Well I hope he doesn't think I'm playing games. I'm just going with the flow at this point and following his lead. I was thinking tomorrow I'd send him a funny pic and see if that gets a response from him..if not then whatever, no skin off my nose I have other friends who are more chatty anyway and I can talk to them lol IP: Logged |

Me too. As a Gemini, I don't vibe with the libra energy. In my opinion, libra men have a facade of being sweet and polite, but it's usually a cover up for something more sinister. No offence to the libra men that aren't like this, but in my opinion/experience... He may just be trying to keep you around and has no intention on acting on it. I understand that you're not too bothered at the moment, but it depends on where you want it to go. Maybe it's too soon, but libra men get comfortable and if you don't say what you want, they get comfortable. If after telling them what you want, the same **** continues, or they don't try to meet you half way. You dodged a bullet x IP: Logged |

I agree, Libras can become complacent (no offense to any). You know what talking about all of this just made me remember I had a libra girl friend & I remember her being in long term relationships but every time they wanted to take it a step further ( move in, engagement, marriage) it fall apart. Then I realized she only really likes the beginning stages of a relationship. So essentially with this one guy who she was with for like 5 or 6 yrs, they never went any further than just going I dates & her spending the night at his house. As soon as he wanted to go further that's when the trouble started for them. He does seem very sweet & polite, but I've never taken my guard down with him, but I have trust issues anyway lol IP: Logged |

While Libras can become complacent (and can also take a long time to make a firm commitment) I don't think you'd find many who'd promote this view. Libra is a sign of relationships and often marriage...while not as primary an interest to them as Cancer and Pisces (at least women for the latter) it's still typically important, otherwise the 7H would be seen as what keeps one OUT of marriage and other unions & contracts rather than into them. When people make a mistake here it's usually thinking that Libra can't even go get some milk without someone holding the Libra hand. That said, I wonder if Gemini energy has anything to do with this? No offense to Gemini suns or other significant Gemini aspects (mercury would count in this case) but many are prone to throwing stones from glass houses as well as their shifting mercurial and often frivolous nature wrecking havoc on Libran scales (that is Libra could have as hard time with too much Gemini energy as someone with too much Gemini would with them and this is all about how they treat Gemini rather than most other people).
