Do you see yourself through the eyes of others so much that you feel exhausted, or your just not good enough for others? I try and be liked all the time but when it doesn't work I get all depressed and feel like there is something wrong with me because I see myself through others. Also perfectionism is also a problem for me, I have to look perfect nearly all the time or I feel worthless. Being a Libra asc isn't all that good, I find it quite a weak and passive asc to have, I feel as if I have no backbone for myself. IP: Logged |

Wow and you blame all of this on your Asc? Can I ask how you came to such conclusions? I think having a Libra Asc is a huge plus. Libra is one of the most well liked of the zodiac. I am Libra dominant on top of being a Libra Asc so I had many past issues where I worried about being enough for other people. Not anymore. Age and maturity settled those feelings really quickly. I could care less if someone dislikes or likes me. It's impossible to please everyone. Perfectionism, eh. I value being, doing, giving my best and all that I can to other people. I don't settle for half assed anything. If you don't have a backbone how did you conclude that that statement applies to all Libra ASCs? These sound more like personal problems, NeptunianSag.

I don't personally. But I don't even notice my Libra asc. Maybe others do, I have no idea, but I don't. Could be overshadowed by chart. (Having a Leo Sun and tons of Virgo) IP: Logged |

Does your Neptune square your AC? I have a libra AC, I've had times like that but eventually you must stop caring about others more than yourself. What others think of you means so little compared to what you think of you. The less you know yourself based on your perceptions and instead base yourself on others opinions the more miserable you will be, took me a long time to realize that but eventually I did.

Do you have some nep/pisces influence to? Some of that reminded me a little bit of them. But a guy i know with a libra rising, he have a hard time being himself. He starts mirroring peoples behaviour, esp girls he is into. It seems like he thinks that people will like him if he becomes like them. He gets easily influenced by others opinions and can change his mind/opinion the sec he is with another person. He is also afraid that people wont like him and can be a people pleaser.IP: Logged |

I am one, too. It is hard, in many ways, but I really like that I am very harmonious in hard situations.
I can negotiate things well. This morning, I did that with a person doing some work for me on my garden and it is a win/win. I am very good at win/win lol However, it can be draining wanting to be liked and acceptable

That makes sense. It could be a number of different things. Your progressed chart, the current transits. I'm sorry that you feel such ways. It'll get better. You just have to keep hanging on. I found that accepting me for me, faults and all, really helped me. There is nothing like loving your whole self. It's impossible to please everyone. In life we come across many that will love us and many that will hate us. That's apart of life. We can't allow that to control us or we'll live the rest of our lives miserable. Time heals all wounds.

Up until a certain age, I cared about what people thought of me, or what I imagined they did. After my Saturn return, I [almost] don't give a $hit.IP: Logged |

Libra is a cardinal sign that tries to be fair, not a spineless sign constantly sucking up to others. Famous examples include Eleanor Roosevelt (when the Klan put a bounty on her head if she tried to speak at a public function and the FBI told her they couldn't guarantee her safety she went anyway, driving through Klan territory with a gun in her lap rather than be upset that people wanted her dead) and Mahatma Gandhi Even the ones that thrive off attention aren't cringing at what people think of them (such as Eminem and Avril and even the infamous Simon Cowell). Granted, these are Libra suns rather than Libra ASC. However, you seem to be accepting that very wrong impression of Libra as a spineless suck up, that because Libra tries to not be an ******* while being cardinal (thus diplomatic over domineering) that therefore Libra is weak, spineless, and passive as you described yourself while blaming your Libra ASC. And Libra ASC shares a lot in common with the Libra sun anyway. (If anything it's the people who bluster and stomp about who are more likely to be the weak and scared ones.) Finally, being fair doesn't mean that therefore Libra is a martyr (that's more along the realm of Pisces), fair and understanding means to one's self as well (I don't know why this is such a hard concept to grasp and can only assume it's a corruption and misunderstanding of concepts put forth by Aristotle). Libra is about balance which means helping one's self as others...and a Libra can become twisted through too much contact with others as from too little (which can translate into feeling exhausted if you're around people too much). All in all your weakness is in spite of your Libra ASC, not because of it. IP: Logged |

Personally I think it Neptune square your libra AC that creates illusions or delusions regarding how your seen. You feel like there is something wrong or your not good enough because you think your seeing yourself the way others see you...but I bet if you asked those ppl you would find out they do not view you in the same way you think they do. The problem is not with how you are seen, it's how you perceive yourself as being seen. Neptune creates a negative illusion(square aspect) regarding the way your seen, to yourself, no one else. This battle is in your head and all you have to do is step out of your head and ask others what the reality is, how do they view you? You will get the answers you need to understand how Neptune is messing with your head and try to get out from under it's spell. IP: Logged |
