There is that Libra narcissistic side for sure, they also can care too much about beauty and details, as for themselves so for others too. That is thing I'm really not fan of, as my Aquarius Venus wants to look like sh.t today and beautiful tomorrow.

But interesting thing is, that Libra guys are the ones who are mostly attracted to me. This is weird, and I will never understand it, cause I don't find myself some beauty. If they start to talk to me, it's over, they will hunt me for some longer period, and it is always like that with Libras in my case. I also noticed that if you don't pay much attention to them, they will even more force to get it from you, they just love attention from everyone, even those they're not interested in emotionally. They must always be in touch with people, that's just their thing.

I'm more relaxed person, can have manners and act like lady, but can also fool around and be tomboy for most of the time (not Libra thing you must say ), but they like me. Now, must say that I'm pretty good with Libras as friends, they can really be nice and they are smart, but I somehow don't feel comfortable to be with one in relationship. I'm always saying - I'm far from perfection they're looking for, oh they just like me at the moment, it would be different in relationship. Yes, I can be full of complexes and maybe I'm somehow scared of them at some point.

But don't think they don't care for other things, they are air sign after all, and ofc they will also care for someone's intellect too, so it's not enough for someone to be just beautiful in their eyes, yes they pay attention to everything.

I can point out challenges that Libras are likely to have (indecisiveness--though not typically as ridiculous as it seems commonly assumed on LL--along with a bi-polar like mood shifts that can make Libra harsh one moment ready to bite your head off in one moment, placating the next, full speed ahead one moment and trying to hide from the world as their Scales need to balance the next, and more sensitive than most to things like clashing colors and designs which can affect the quality of their work or interpersonal skills to an absurd degree), and also that which is likely to be misunderstood (I think Libra is the only ones, Pisces a possible exception, to understand that one can have empathy and fairness for one person or group without taking it from another which makes them seem disloyal to others who don't get that, for example, and it doesn't help how Libra is prone to changing their mind).

Some can seem contradictory, as when Libra is indecisive, and yet can make iron-clad judgments they won't budge on (this is what makes them good judges, but can be a nasty shock to people who expect Libra to be easygoing who suddenly has a very firm opinion, possibly backed by indignation). When Libra DOES make up his or her mind, then it's usually after a lot of work, and doesn't appreciate when someone glibly brushes that effort aside to disagree just because one wants to, or through simple, shoddy reasoning (through granted arcane reasoning can be insidiously bad at times, and Libra not only rationalizes as everyone else, but tends to be better at it, which can be seen as a flaw).

The books I've read pretty much go along with this. What I read on LL OTOH is quite different. A lot of times I read of what "Libra is like" on LL to realize that not only is that not me (sometimes the very opposite) but most to all Libras I know aren't like that either, nor did the books on astrology I read say the same thing as many on LL say. (Or alternately, virtually everyone is like that, not just Libra.)

Though it's not just Libra, I see this happening with many (maybe even all) signs and placements and it vexes me, mainly because I wonder if there are books that present an alternate perspective than the ones I read, or if it's just an overly simplistic view. (For example, since Libra isn't blustering, then Libra must be spineless. Since Libra needs to be color coordinated then Libra must be a slave to fashion--despite that a lot of fashion is NOT color coordinated, and I know Libras like me see people who need a fashion magazine to tell them how to dress as something like slaves to advertisers and superficiality, with the fashion industry often ignoring good fashion sense in the name of profit).

I do expect people to put an effort into their appearances (at least if they expect to socialize casually), though I make allowances for those who would have obvious difficulties due to circumstances or disability, but I'd prefer a well chosen mix of clothes from the thrift store (where I personally prefer to shop, altering clothes to my own design and preference) to garishly wealthy designs (or Lady Gaga). The one exception is where social circumstances demand it. As a general rule of thumb (with exceptions I'm skipping), one doesn't show up to church or formal job in dirty shirt and ripped jeams, but one doesn't wear one's Sunday best or work uniform to a rock concert or sports game. If one goes to a theme event (cosplay convention, Ren faire, theme party, etc) then go nuts (as long as it's in the spirit of the event). But I won't automatically dismiss someone or treat them unpleasantly just because they dressed in a way I think is inappropriate, and would consider it far more crass for someone else to do so (unless the dressing wrong was intended as deliberate disrespect for the event or host).

As for being wealthy...the thought of having so much to manage is exhausting to me (so much to keep coordinated for my inner Scales!). There'd be so much to keep in order, and hiring others to take care of it for me could be even more tiring. The only reason I'd want to be rich is if I needed top of the line security (as celebrities and politicians often need). (I no longer have the book that I read it in, but I recall reading the one that REQUIRED wealth to be happy was either a Scorpio sun-Cappie moon OR Cappie sun-Scorpio moon.)

Otherwise, I prefer small and comfortable (though I always want a room I can retreat to that is for me alone, and also shelves for all my books, and I also want a guest room and like having couches in the front room that can fold out to become beds for guests). I also greatly dislike new cars and electronics as I see them as deliberately disposable and too much trouble, and thus prefer older model cars, computers, phones, etc, though they're not the popular thing. This is distinct from the vast majority of people who worship money and always seeking to consume the latest trends (even if worse in quality than before) for the social status it brings, which includes people who are slaves to fashion magazines.

Some are relentless flirts. These types are more about the chase than the actual catch as they're more about fantasy, the men putting women on pedestals but don't actually want to lose that image he has of her in his mind (I expect some women can be similar). One therefore has to be careful of that type.
