She's a social butterfly, loves talking to people, and makes a lot of friends. Lots of these friends I typically don't trust at all personally, and when something comes up, she just can't seem to bring herself to cause conflict. Even when I say, "You have to do it so you can get your point across," she just doesn't do it. She's too afraid of upsetting the other person. She also feels like people are out to get her (Capricorn IC perhaps), like she can't get away from all these people.

If engaged initially by someone else, she'll fight back for sure, but the way she goes about it sometimes confuses me. What I still see is the inability to directly face the issue, whereas I personally was never afraid of that. She does have Mars Retrograde, so that may be affecting it somehow.

Another Libra Rising I know (Scorpio Sun) is a huge loner. She says, "Everybody loves me but I hate them all," lol. She's got Moon in 12th conjunct Asc and Mercury in the first. Very, very sociable with those who she's close too from experience.

I like to look good for myself. If others like it as well, great. Not a Tomboy at all. Lol. However, I'm not the girl that takes 3 hours to get ready either! I'm not extreme about maintaining beauty.

Although I certainly don't always feel like that, I can relate to the above.

Pluto in the 1st.

That's my experience. I personally don't mind them, but they do perplex me sometimes lol

I relate to both of them haha. I feel like I push myself to be a social butterfly and nice to everyone, but I really hate how much people let me down and act towards each other.

There are a couple of things that I dislike about being Libra Rising - like how some people eventually try to take our kindness for granted. But overall, I feel this is a positive placement.

OMG YES! People taking my kindness for granted is so common, what really gets me is when people take my kindness for weakness. Like no, I'm kind because I want everyone to be kind to each other, but I can be a jerk if pushed.

That's pretty interesting, I have a Leo moon and sometimes I clash pretty hard with my friend with a Cancer sun and Virgo Moon, but we are still pretty close.

I know you have a Cancer mars too, so this question might be affected by that too, but do you ever feel like you avoid conflict purposefully because you know it will cause unnecessary drama?

Yes. Exactly. Absolutely.

But if Venus is in Taurus, there is more of a self-assured personality that is not so heavily invested in people's opinions.

There is a Libra Asc,Venus in Cancer individual that I know(from a distance). And though he is nice and friendly,I see that he is also very self-protective and not nearly as social.

He also has Sun-Venus conjunct in Cancer. And so i think that it is with his family that he seems to be the "star" of the show etc.

Overall however, I think Libra Asc are cool. I have Mars(ruler of my 1st house) in Libra- so there are some similarities that I see with them and I.

I gird myself to be authentic and, also, to show anger, where needed because we HAVE to have our anger to be healthy and abused people, often, stuff it.

I sure did lol xxxx

I don't feel that Libras are introverted and anxious. That's probably another placement in your chart making you like this.

As for lack of backbone. Early in life, yes. But once we have found ourselves and struck the right balance...the story changes and there's no going back! We'll demand fairness from there.

I think if you have a strong, bold Sun Sign - Scorpio, Aries, Leo, Aqua - you aren't as likely to be bothered by what others think. Again, as an Aries, I'm fair and kind to people but I am by no means a pushover. If you cross a line...you will surely be sorry!

Yes, they can be super indecisive and care too much what other people think (some of them) and sometimes they lack a little "passion", but overall... Much love to Libra risers.

You summed it up pretty well from the personal subjective point of view.

Libra rising puts the principle of Venus in air mode over the Asc, which tilts the personality away from self assertion (Aries' Martial/fire)and towards pleasing others (evasion of conflict). Air mode sets it into a social context rather than one of personal passion (fire), so the person seems to want to position themselves in relation to others rather than just be themselves.

However, dressed up in Libra rising, your natural gifts will tend more towards diplomacy and fairness. A good thing. The world needs more of that. The task is to put harmony into the world rather than expect it to show up and then leaving if it doesn't.

If Libra rising lends you only to superficiality, judgments based on appearances, or worrying others will do that, then you don't gain much with this mode of expression.

Personally, I find most Libra risers nice, pleasing to the eye, well put together, but often superficial, hiding more crass (even condescending) attitudes under the surface. They seem to lack depth at least partly because they are afraid to let any of the rougher edges of their real selves show. Its not that the depth isn't there, but that its balled up with the things they don't want you to see. So you don't unless you get close to them.

Another thing I've noticed with some is the 'water part of air' coming out as an all-love-or-all-hate dynamic in romantic relationships. Libra types seem to go from idealizing a person (because they feel they have to?) to seeing only flaws and despicable qualities, something I could never understand.

For a person like me who has Scorpio Mars and Pluto square Mercury, this thing annoys me but I also have moon and Venus in libra, so there are also some things I like about libra risings.

What concerns me the most besides their extreme people pleasing, non genuine complements and fear of the shadows (unspoken truths, non verbal communication, power plays). What concerns me the most about them besides that is their boundary issues.

Other people don't violate our boundaries. We violate our own boundaries.

So Libra rising people are the ones who would violate their own boundaries to please others. They say "yes" when they want to say "no" or vice versa. They don't respect their own emotions and feelings, their own likes or dislikes, they sacrifice it to make themselves more likeable, they fear fights and anger, any kind of disharmony disrupts them. They always want to make sure everything is happy, and balanced. And that's fine until we damage ourselves in the process.

As a libra moon and Venus I also have some boundary issues I'm working on. I can be a huge people pleaser. Although Venus is in its own house there, which is a good thing, it means that Venus in libra does not harm oneself because Venus is in its rightful place, as opposed to let's say if Mars or sun was there.

But my moon in libra is causing me a little bit of problem with my boundary issues. I try to not complement people if I don't genuinely think there's something to complement about. I am straightforward but I use my manners and etiquettes when I need to at the appropriate time. That is why Venus is in domicile in libra and doesn't cause any harm. If it was the sun let's say, it would cause sacrifice oneself's sense of self respect and prioritize others first that is why the sun is in fall in libra. It's not in the nature of the sun to act libra like since the sun represent ego/identity, the self, confidence, self respect, self love, significance, etc. Sun is in a very difficult place when it's in libra since libra is all about patience, putting others before, being considerate and please others. That's not the sun's job it's Venus's job. Venus feels at home in libra. It means the person does not put their sense of self and respect as sacrifice, they simply use manners and etiquettes at the right times and place when and where they need to be used appropriately, without damaging them self in the process.

Ascendant indicates how we're raised. In your early childhood the role models around you (be it parents, siblings, older people in general, etc) encouraged you to or influenced you to be polite, have manners, being very considerate towards other people. Because of this, this is how you naturally tend to be (ascendant sign).

Libra ascendant can learn to use their talent of making other people happy and comfortable at the appropriate times without damaging themselves in the process. You can work on having better boundaries since you probably need to. Check out Teal Swan's video on "personal boundaries" it really helped me! In fact I think every libra ASC, sun or moon should watch this video.
