Why your Sign Ain't Shite: Libra Edition

Libras are vain and fake. Yes I know that is an obvious stereotype but its true. Libras are the sneaky snarky snakes. Very much like Scorpio but on diet pills and laxatives.

Insecure most Libra women don't leave with the house without five pounds of makeup and back up makeup. The Libra male equivalent to this is five pounds of cologne and spray tan.

Whatever the case they live and swear on photo filters and Photo-shop. All of this is really a cover up for their ugly souls. Well mostly it is for their ugly physical selves.

The "fair and balanced" Libra coined the phrase, "Beauty on the inside." and "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." They coin these phrases to pull attention away from themselves and the fact that they are hideous, vain and fake. Plus they are insecure because they know they are really really ugly.

Libras are known to be charming, ditsy and a little indecisive. cute right? Nope its not. Its a cover-up to the fact that they are tacky, and slow (in french: retarde, this means really, really stupid).

Great pretenders they are. Great at pretending to be your friend (while gossiping and throwing shade at you). Great at pretending to have money when all they really have 6 digits of credit card debt and 5 digits of student loans (for their fancy Liberal Arts degrees). Great at pretending to be in love when in reality they have 3 or 4 sidepieces that are all the "the love of their lives."

Smug Cousin to Leo in terms of arrogance, vanity, and self-flattery. Superficial Libras only hang out with you if you are good looking, have great fashion sense, have money and status all in that order. It is kind of like Capricorn but at least Capricorn works hard. Working hard is not in their vocabulary. "Using Hard" is their motto.

They don't have work ethics, or even ethics at all. Forget all that fairness and equality crap. They are lazy users that step on others while hypocritically sprout politically correct terms. By the way Libra's invented "politically correct". They don't believe in anything except "beauty". Sad thing is that they don't know what beauty means.

No one really likes Libras. They all pretend to like Libras because Libras are good at compliments. They are good at faking it until they make it. Or until they can't anymore. Until their lies, deceit (they give Pisces a run for their money) and general dishonesty is discovered.

This is when they either backtrack or apologize (by apologize I mean get their ass beat to the point where they have no choice but to apologize before they're plastic surgeried nose gets ruined). And with all of this is why Libra ain't **** .

Hope you enjoy

This is a terrible post. How could you say that about anyone regardless of their sign knowing that people with that sign will read it?!
You re a mean person and a lot of what you said was very inaccurate and wrong. I’m born with sun mercury Venus In libra and I am not for one second going to believe any of these lies you are convinced of or are trying to make me believe.

Astrofiend is trying to make a satire of Libran traits, and yes the unevolved Libra does possess some these traits.

It's interesting to see how people are reacting to this post. He creates a topic like this for literally every sign. I thought the Virgo one was hilarious, but maybe that's just me.

Maybe this one is a bit harsh, but it touches on some painful truths about unevolved Libras.

I just shrug at this one, as I have the others. It's a type of comedy.

I've seen better ones, though I can't find the one I loved that roasted all the signs. I recall it described Scorpio as, "You will be murdered because everyone hates you." The one for Libras (as best I recall, haven't seen it in over 10 years) included, "If you are a man then you are gay, if a woman, then you are a bisexual. In either case, you get your way more often than not by using your mouth for something other than speaking." (Or words to that effect.) All the signs got roasted like that, and it was so over the top that no one took it seriously, at least no one that I know. I see these as similar (but much longer) to those roasts, getting them all equally and being too over the top to take seriously.

Actually, my favorite (though nicer) was the one of the signs in an airplane crash. I was able to find a few...maybe others can find the complete set and share:

It's meant to be satirical.

But anyhow, I'm trying to think of things about Libra that are good/likable, and I just keep coming back to how they lie/deceive others and themselves.

I think the problem is that the fake Libras act almost identical to the genuine Libras, so it makes everyone literally think they're all the same underneath. So, some people might have a hard time trusting them. Was over 19 years ago that I decided and realized there was something a bit shady about Libra, then started reading more from people interested in astrology that they came to the same conclusion. Or perhaps I simply only knew people who possessed overgrown shadow aspects of Libra personality.

Libra is an interesting sign and I do wonder if the way they're treated, the way they act, and the way they're perceived has to do with some sort of energetic karma about them. Libra seems to be the most vilified of all, and on a grander scale I wonder why that is.

Neptune. Neptune is the GOD of illusion and deception. It is the ruler of Pisces so that explains their M.O. Neptune is also the ruler of the #7. Libra is the 7th sign, so they very much Neptunian agents.

About all the signs get vilified sooner or later. It seems to me that Pisces is the one to get the most crap, at least Pisces males. Or maybe it's Scorpio, but the fascination Scorpio gets (far more than Pisces) makes it seem less. But it's neck to neck with many signs (and placements). There was once a member who was just starting threads at random saying how much this sign or placement sucked (in every single way being liars, manipulators, backstabbers, etc) until I asked why s/he kept doing that (as the person was going to run through every possibility so that EVERYONE was a lying, manipulating backstabber) and the person said it was just an experiment to observe who would jump in, who would defend, etc. And every single thread had people say "So true!" No matter what.

From my general observation, I think what alienates some people from Libra is that Libra tries to be fair. The vast majority of people don't want fair, they want someone who will be unfair in their favor (which ironically includes lying for them), to take their side no matter what. People are tribal and want to know if you're with them or one of the other tribes to be kept at a distance at best. Libra comes off as friendly so appears as one's own tribe (that is, clique, etc), but then is shocked when Libra doesn't automatically take their side, and that feels like fickleness at best, betrayal at worst, and is hard to deal with, and feelings of betrayal generate strong negative feelings.

As should be obvious, there are many exceptions to Libra like this. A Scorpio heavy Libra was very much into taking sides and sticking with it, though did have guilty twinges about being blatantly unfair in the name of those of her tribe which she had to justify through mental acrobatics. And I knew one Libra (I only knew his sun sign) or was openly nasty (nothing passive aggressive about it) to everyone, save the landlord whom he'd later steal the rent money from. I can list some other strong divergences from the stereotypes as well (as I can of other signs).

Oh, and all people lie. That's the basis of society, though it's not all malicious. People even lie to themselves all the time. (article on people lying to themselves, which is just a general example.) And wait around long enough and you'll hear how another sign or placement is the biggest liar, etc.

You know what I'd actually like to see, as for talking about the crap of the signs?

Real life examples. And I mean of all the signs. (I know some pop stars get chosen and that's great, but I mean a list to compare and contrast, and examine the contributing factors.)

For examples of Libra, Vladimir Putin (October 7), Mahatma Gandhi (October 2), Margaret Thatcher (October 13), and Aleister Crowley (October 12). There's a lot of criticism to be had here (even of Gandhi). Something other than the tired cliches of the signs that make me wonder if I'm wasting my time with astrology.

That's not what people are going on about here. That would be what Libra would when they're acting on their positive traits. People here are harking, and the OP's post most of all, about the more shadow side.

Of course. Which does make sense, and why many would tend to have such bad experiences and mostly feel the shadow side of Libra. The world encourages that.

All signs have their shadow sign. We're not all clouds and rainbows. Good and bad are all part and parcel of the whole humanity gig.

The writing needs a little work. Astrofiend when you come out and say you're vain and fake, it's not funny. It's an insult.

You could rework it a little.

Ex:

Libra will charm you, woo you, compliment you, and you'll think they're your best friend--until you realize they just want you to follow them on Instagram. Make sure you like that pic too. It gives them a sense of fulfillment they'll never get through deep conversation and meaningful relationships.

See the difference?

One is tongue-in-cheek, the other is just an outright insult.

I disagree. Of course they're not going to say what really bothers them because that would be petty, but they honestly do feel deceived because their assumptions of Libra automatically taking their side didn't come through. And as for those Libras that do go overboard in trying to keep the peace (which includes repressing their tendency to play devil's advocate or otherwise be up for a good debate as they weigh ideas upon their scales)...that doesn't actually bother most people. Most people don't want to have their ideas challenged and LIKE having their butts kissed and fish for validation rather than contrary points of view.

A common game, which I'm sure is common knowledge though it's not something we're supposed to talk about, is fishing for validation and promotion in exchange for the same through a game that is not that complex. One says something self-depreciating to get a compliment for example (which doubles as not appearing vain) with the favor returned, and while judging others harshly is a time honored method of building up one's own self-esteem, one is not supposed to do that with each other, ever. Of course this means that the only people one most people can feel comfortable around are those that exchange butt kisses and turn on others without turning on each other (and that means always taking their side, no matter what). Libra is not going to get hate for doing that, but rather for playing the devil's advocate or sharing their honest thoughts, or (worst of all) not automatically taking their side which feels a betrayal of trust.

Some Libras, once they understand the game, do bend over backwards to be as fake as everyone else. But they don't normally choose one side, and even that makes them untrustworthy in the eyes of others, because they don't know if Libra is sharing their secrets, secretly judging them, or will take the side of someone else. Even if Libra manages to never take a side (which will rankle some people in of itself) their playing all sides will come out, and it's not the fakeness that is despised, but refusing to take a side so that they can't be fully trusted. And if Libra DOES take a side then it's so much worse, because some people who thought Libra a friend who would be unfair in their favor now feels betrayed, and as such feels Libra is deceptive (that is, the problem isn't being fake, but feeling like a fake friend, and it does FEEL like deceit). Of course it sounds better to say Libra is deceitful rather than "Libra won't automatically take my side as I thought s/he would."

And I know we're not all rainbows, and that no one is (I also don't mean that this is the always the case, just that I have reason to believe it often is). I can share many of my own personal flaws, some of which I have attributed to my Libra sun and stellium, but they're not this cliche crap that is all too common (and not just for Libra). And I gave 4 examples of Libras with some heavy shadow sides that I'd be genuinely interested in examining, though it won't just be Libra energy involved, and examining them may remind me why I once thought astrology was brilliant.

At least Linda Goodman, who could make fun of Libras (as she did everyone) in her writing realized that Libra was far more likely to be argumentative than fake (and even gave advice on that, like on how to trick Libra into agreeing with you by pretending to hold a different view) and warned with wry humor how Libra couldn't be expected to automatically take your side as most others expect.

I was perfectly fine with a libra not taking my side in something. It was the way she acted, that she put herself in the middle of something, and then blamed us - and punished me, because she hadn't communicated TO me. I was fine once I knew, until she punished me for expressing relief. Six or seven months later, she complimented me, acted friendly, only to then reverse that when my life went downhill again (I almost lost my mother, three years ago, and a couple of other distressing things happened). So, things not under my control, meant that I was "too much drama". If I'd bombarded her with email every day, that would be one thing, but I barely spoke to her. She re-writes history, and decides we were never really friends.

I will delete this.
