Yeah I hear ya. The cappies I know of, when they do complain, it's mostly cause everyone's acting like "children" (said by one of the cappies xD) IP: Logged |

I suspect my dad has Moon in Gemini as well, because he has issues with anxiety. The "birth time" I have for his chart puts his Moon in Gemini. I admit I don't have his real birth time, but I think he has a Virgo Ascendant. This conclusion is based on where I believe his Chiron wound is. I am basically 99.99% confident his Chiron is in 6th house. He cannot keep a job and this was one of the reasons my mom filed for a divorce. My dad is nothing like the people being discussed in this thread. He will complain, but he's very direct, straightforward, and aggressive about it. He's as far from Libra as a person can possibly get. If he wants to say something, he says it. As soon as you make him angry, you will know and you will be very aware of what exactly you did to make him feel that way. quote: But then again you are saying he has lots of virgo so I don't know but my dad has sun in capricorn and moon in virgo conjunct saturn and he never ever complains about anything ever, probably bc of that conjunction to saturn though.
I think all the Earth contributes to my dad's complaining, because he only believes in what science has confirmed with physical evidence and through research, so he is very critical of anything spiritual or religious. Astrology, to him, is complete nonsense. To me, all the Earth in his chart makes him more focused on what is physical and material. quote: Originally posted by hypatia238: It just occurred to me that yes Capricorns can be complainers but they don't whine and they are usually right, when they complain is not to play the role of the victim, usually when they complain if they do is bc people are sucking at doing their jobs and not ADULTING and Capricorn will hold you accountable and file a complaint or talk to your supervisor.

My dad is very lazy, but his complaining makes it easier to recognize him as a Capricorn. Aside from his complaints over anything that isn't considered scientific fact, his other complaints tend to be very Capricorn by nature. His anxiety is probably the only thing that keeps him quiet. He won't file a complaint if someone's doing a terrible job, but I will hear him talk about it if I'm around him when it happens.However, my boyfriend will file a complaint if someone's doing a terrible job. He does not put up with terrible quality service. Unfortunately, since he has Mars in Libra, his ability to handle conflict is pretty awful. Mars in Libra squares his Capricorn placements so I think Mars in Libra "logic" dominates his mindset in these moments. I love him a lot, but his Mars in Libra drives me bonkers sometimes. quote: Originally posted by hypatia238: You know when someone describes my flaws accurately coming from a place of understanding instead of judgement I tend to laugh and feel loved, like awww you truly took the time to get to know me at a deeper level that you know my flaws and can joke about it with me.

I will NEVER again date someone that does not at least have an open mind about astrology ever again. Like if I am talking to you and you tell me astrology is nonsense, I am sorry, goodbye; go talk to the millions of girl out there that don't know about in depth astrology. I need you to at least be someone who is open to it been real and who has a true open mind about it even if they are not fully convinced, I cannot emphasize a truly open mind about it enough. Its a very serious hobby of mine and you saying is non sense is like you taking a du*p on me in a way. Is like I don't neeed that lol (bye!), surprisingly plenty of guys will at least keep an open mind and let me talk about it and hear me out and find it kind of interesting without dropping the "this is non-sense" crap. I hate that. IP: Logged |

Not one to criticise someone's personal outlook on a relationship (how Libra of me ,) but I wonder how do you defines the "superficial" element of a relationship as oppose to the "deeper" aspects of one. If you are going by a pure "emotional" scale then I am afraid that you are only looking at less than 50% of the picture. People are more than their sum equivalent of their "emotional" needs. There is also self-actualization, security, sexual-fulfilment (which unfortunately is equal parts primal, intellectual and emotional) and long-term investment. The 7th house covers intellectual and to a great degree, the primal aspects of a relationship. It however starts fails at times to understand the emotional aspects of it. The 8th house tries to disregard the intellectual aspect of a relationship and focuses on primal and to a great degree, the emotional aspect of a relationship. In both cases, a person loses out on an important aspect of what makes a relationship fulfilling, and as such there is always this feeling of something "missing" in their lives. Libras however, try to balance that aspect out in their lives by being with someone who can give that emotional dept in their lives where as they provide the intellectual and primal (albeit "superficial" as some might call it) aspects of a relationship. Scorpios aren't any better at relationships as Libras are. Libras however atleast know that they are missing that aspect in their lives and look to compromise with an emotionally charged person so the person can bring the emotional aspect of a relationship in a Libra's life . quote: Originally posted by hypatia238: It just occurred to me that yes Capricorns can be complainers but they don't whine and they are usually right, when they complain is not to play the role of the victim, usually when they complain if they do is bc people are sucking at doing their jobs and not ADULTING and Capricorn will hold you accountable and file a complaint or talk to your supervisor.
Funny enough, most of the more emotional signs that I have dealt with (i.e. Aries, Pisces, Cancer, etc.) hold Libras in contempt because someone called them out on their s**t . To them, its always about "you are either on my side or you are not." Aries: Can you believe that the security in my Condo yelled at my kid for running around the Main Lobby?! No one yells at my kid! And kids by nature are active and need to run around! The nerve of that security person!" Libra: Actually, I was at the board meeting when the issue was discussed in detail. Unfortunately, the Security person had reason to talk to your kid. If your kid would have fallen and injured him/her self, the Condo itself could be liable to be sued. Furthermore, we reviewed the Camera and Audio footage. The Security Person didn't yell at your kid. Yes they talked sternly but professionally to him/her but the security person didn't yell at all. If your kid needs to run around, there is a park right at the back of the Condo. That is what it was made for. Please take your kid there if he/she wants to run around. Aries: *Insert Angry Face.* So you are siding with those disrespectful a-holes huh?! How dare you tell me how to raise my kid! The Condo Board is wrong and so are you! I can't believe you are being so passive aggressive about my situation. *Insert 2 hours of throwing a tantrum.* Libra: *Sighs and leaves room* I will be back in 2 hours when you have gotten it all out of your system and are more of a reasonable person to talk to. .

Personally, I find all of the contradictory statements amusing Lol! There are issues that Libras do need to work on, no doubt about that and heck, we do take these issues seriously and work on them accordingly (though we get accused to being "easily swayed" as a result Lol!) However, some of the complaints end up getting so blown out of proportion that I wonder if there are aspects the individuals don't like about themselves that they end up projecting on the Libra person. However, having different personalities around is what makes life so interesting . And understanding these personalities gives us Libras the edge in "human resource management." Lol! Imagine a battlefield with a Libra Major, an Aries Lt. Col and a Pisces Holy Person. Aries: "People! We have been inactive for far too long! The enemy isn't going to defeat itself! We have to stop being lazy and charge at em right now!" Libra: "With all due respect Sir/Maam, we don't know where the machine gun and artillery placements of the enemy are. If we blindly rush into it all, we are going to lose the entire company of good men and women." Aries: "You spineless coward! I can't believe you survived long enough to become a Major! Get your head out of your ass! If they haven't shot at us as of yet, they probably have run out of ammunition or their placements have been bombed to hell! We need to charge now!" Libra: *Sigh* "You are right Sir/Maam. So why doesn't the brave Lt. Col. take the lead on this one and charge right at the enemy trenches." Aries: "Hell yeah! Now you are talking my language! *Get out of the trench and stands on the battlefield. Everyone Cha...! *Gets gun down by enemy Machine Gun Fire.*" Libra: "Rest in Peace Lt. Col. You lived as you died... As an impulsive idiot. *Mock Salute.*" Pisces: "Ummm... Major, can I voice my opinion on something?" Libra: "Sure thing Rev. Go right ahead." Pisces: "Thankyou Major. It seems like if we can generally be kind and feel for the opposing side, I am sure they will some to emotionally understand us as well.

I am sure they will understand and accept us with open arms. *Pisces steps out trench and climbs up on the mount above the trench only to be killed by an Enemy Sniper.* Libra: *To the company of fighting men and women* Comrades in arms! We will honour the impulsiveness... errr... Bravery of Lt. Col. Aries and the naive views ... errr... idealism of Rev. Pisces! Due to their consorted efforts, we now know the location of the enemy's machine gun placements and sniper nests. Artillery!

Some of you might enjoy reading "The White Knight Syndrome" - it's essentially about the nice guy. It tells, in a straightforward, yet soft way, that people obsessed with being nice guys/white knights are actually quite selfishly driven, don't exactly care about others, and has a lot of case studies. And it helps explain what we can do to come from a more sincere place. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this with Libras, but beside the whining, their arguments for the sake of "balancing things out" (according to them), are kinda... Odd. Like if you say "I hate pears because they're so grainy and they hurt my gums." Then an extremist Libra will come along and be like "WHOA HOLD UP! If you're gonna complain about pears being grainy, let's talk about ALL GRAINY FRUITS." In their mind I guess that's balance. And maybe for them, that's what they need, but doesn't mean everyone else needs it, and in no way means anyone else needs their version of balance Oo I can get how talking about similarities in other things can be useful, but that sort of extremism boggles me. You could create a thread for example saying "I think Leos have these poopoo traits!" and so long as the Libra is the one answering they'll be like "OOOH u wanna dig up dirt on Leo huh? Why ain't you making a thread about every other sign's poopoo??" Doya see how maddening that can get? I kind of think, if a Libra is like that, to an extreme, instead of wanting others to conform to their world views, they should want to learn to balance themselves. Think of it this way. Pisces are sensitive to everyone's moods, and so naturally, some that are less experienced will almost want to control other people and want them to be happy, be well, be positive, otherwise Pisces'll feel it and hurt too. But the trick is not to make everyone change for you and make reality reflect your perfect vision. We've gotta go within and work on ourselves. Look within, not without, for balance.
Yes, I agree completely. My main peeve is that Libras want everyone to cater to their emotional temperament and viewpoint but refuse to even consider doing the same to others. They think people catering to their sense of "balance" is fairness and if you don't do it they will try to gaslight you to make you feel crazy and mean spirited even though you are neither of those things and didn't have those intentions at all. It's exhausting and annoying how they are always pointing a finger at someone, even when that someone was not trying to be rude in the first place. Everything is rude to Libras, even if it's not. Them and Cancers are too soft for me...way too oversensitive and take everything to heart. I swear, even Pisces are not this sensitive sometimes. Pisces will just leave it alone instead of egging it on and trying to gaslight people. What you said about how Libras always want to bring up other signs is also so true! Why can we not just speak about one sign's positives and negatives without a Libra going "Okay, but why don't we speak on everyone?" it's foolish to me. Start a new thread if you want to throw everyone in the mix, don't ruin mine! Selfish nice guys, as you said. IP: Logged |

Actually that is exactly what Pisces would do but they would do it on a more personal level . Heavy water influenced people have a tendency of taking things personally as in the discussion in question is an attack on them and they in turn will attack you personally for it. Libras will try to balance things out with another perspective on the matter. Its not a personal thing for them but rather the spirit of the discussion itself. I do agree, that the tendency of Air Signs to adhere to the "whataboutism" fallacy is quite evident. However, never have I seen any Libra play the "victim" card over such discussions. If anything, they will end up OWNING their opinion on the matter and any consequences that fall from it. Its only fair; You play the cards; You reap the benefits or Loss. quote: What you said about how Libras always want to bring up other signs is also so true!

Oiya Oiya? No offence intended (I really don't mean it in a personal way) but doesn't that statement adheres to the very idea of playing the victim card ? A discussion on the matter is a discussion. A topic at hand needs and should be discussed from every given perspective; Pro and Con. Just because the perspective at hand doesn't adheres to your POV doesn't means it shouldn't be discounted out; Provided that we aren't going towards attacking someone on a personal basis. While "whataboutism" is a fallacy and is counter-productive towards an argument, cases of mass generalization based on extremely small sample size doesn't constitutes as "truth" or "fact" for that matter. In such cases, "whataboutism" is a legitimate way of showing a different perspective on that matter. Call it "gas-lighting" but IMO, creating a new thread just to further perpetuate stereotypes is just... petty, sad and just counter-productive. IP: Logged |

I second the Gemini moon!
I can as a gemini stellium moon tell that, yes I can complain BUT, a very important thing is, to look for context in a chart of course, and in my chart, you will see: That moon is in 10th house (capricorn ruled) ALSO its opposite saturn and uranus, now thats a real game changer I tell you. I'm NOT your regular gemini moon. I have noticed I complain in two instances. 1- When I feel very very insecure, and there is gonna be an important change in my daily life, like beginning a new school, moving out etc. I was more "complainy" when I was a kid. Its a way to ask for being hold, hugged and be told "everything is gonna be alright". Now as an adult, I get uneasy and feel anxiety but I don't voice it anymore, I notice it I know what it is and why, and I tell myself "keep it together, be strong!". It helps! 2- When I feel my freedom is gonna be reduced, like at school trips "obligatory school trip with sleepover on an island you say?! You mean, I won't be able to LEAVE if I wanna?!. This is a Moon-uranus thing. My moon freaks out at the thought of being "imprisoned" (yeah super dramatic, gee!). Alos of course, when as a child being told by ones parantes, "no you can't go out now". Or "You canät do this or that etc". All that would make me start complaining. and rage (mars-moon) Now when I'm older, I do not complain when I get insecure, feel anxiety for new beginnings and things and feel hindered. I just, suck it up! I think I did as said complain about thise stuff as a kid, because I wanted to be reassured and get hugs and feel cared for. Now as an adult, I can reassure myself and control my anxieties with different methods, no need let the world now about ones insignificant feels about small stuff. Moon-Saturn is afterall= crystallization of emotions. To master ones emotions. Its a lifelong project but now as 30, I'm very selfaware of my patterns, but there is still lot of work to do, I know that^^

I’m a Libra Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in the 6th house. I think I use to complain too much when I was uncomfortable or was forced into doing something I didn’t want to do. I was pretty vocal about it until I was told to shut up or forced to shut up with violence. Then I suffered in silence for years. Then I empowered myself and told people no. I stopped people-pleasing. I have many aspects to my Mars (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto touching my Mars) so I always had a strong will to survive and fight. My life lesson is empowerment and I’m still learning. I practice martial arts to get comfortable with action and yes with violence. When you have your self expression in a “weak” sign, you either become the projections of others’ weaknesses or you reinvent yourself. IP: Logged |

There is also self-actualization, security, sexual-fulfilment (which unfortunately is equal parts primal, intellectual and emotional) and long-term investment.The 7th house covers intellectual and to a great degree, the primal aspects of a relationship. It however starts fails at times to understand the emotional aspects of it. The 8th house tries to disregard the intellectual aspect of a relationship and focuses on primal and to a great degree, the emotional aspect of a relationship. In both cases, a person loses out on an important aspect of what makes a relationship fulfilling, and as such there is always this feeling of something "missing" in their lives.
I will try to address some of the parts you wrote, and I will try to be clear, but it may be hard so I hope no one misunderstand me. Also its late night here so I'm tired aswell...
Anyways, I really understand where you come from I think, and you also have good points of course, I'm not disregarding any of your views. I was not clear before because, I was not doing the much needed distinctions between "Libras" vs "The 7th house and partnerships". Although I'm not stating anywhere in my text that 7th house matters is not needed in a relationship, if it seemed that way it was wrong. Of course you can't delve into emotional deep parts of each other in a partnership before establishing 7th house matters, not normally anyway. As said, 7th house is our everyday life matters in relationships. It holds up the relationship, as a house structure. Then it evolves through the houses we mention. So thats that, I agree. Also even though we are bit.shing about libras here, and we (read:me) may be all over the place with no clear distinctions and structures, I see this thread more like, how we would discuss, brainstorm about one theme, in this case Libras and that way we will reach insights, our own insights and others, by thinking and writing. Since its like "brainstorming" the process is not perfect but it is a discussion so we go with the flow and maybe we are off the course from time to time, but we do reach valuble insight, in my opinion As Hypatia stated, we ALL have Libra and 7th houses in our chart, so we all have our own ways in relationships. What I was trying to say, we need both libra structures-balance in relationship, an also depth.
As a plutonic person, I really need detachment Libras posess. Even when I feel like they are not deep enougj. And libras need to be able to go deeper emotionally to be able to bond with people, something people with lots of libra energy in their chart may seem to be unable of, bc of who knows what? Maybe they were raised that way? Maybe they don't like being too close? Maybe they don't know how to tap into their pluto side or 8th house side etc etc. Thats all I'm saying.

So I was watching this book review on a Libra poet named Rupi Kaur (an instagram model who wrote a poetry book and become the best selling writer of her generation) and the girl in the video (who is doing the book review) did a perfect job of pinpointing what I think you were trying to talk about in your original comment hypatia. Funny, because it's not even an astrology video; it's just a regular book review! At 10:34 she actually says "the scales of justice" in reference to her writing which is so funny because I bet she didn't even know Rupi is a Libra.https://youtu.be/Z5bM-bvRxR0 IP: Logged |

As a Libra guy (Sun, Mars, and Mercury), I don't really know how to approach this topic, yet feel very compelled to do so lol. I feel like there's A LOT of generalization going on here lol. I don't think I'm very whiny, but a lot of my personal writings are very emo and consist of me trying to sort my inner emotions out. I would NEVER verbally abuse someone's ears with nagging and whining simply because I wouldn't want someone to do that to me lol. I get the complaint about us being passive aggressive. I definitely am a lot of the time. I'm really good at being curt and sarcastic when I'm annoyed by something or someone. The victim complaint is interesting. I don't think I play the victim at all. I've never been one to exclaim how sad I am or how bothered I am by things. Unless maybe I'm thinking too broadly? I really can't think of any specific moments. I think anytime I've brought up any sort of emotional pain or annoyance was for good reason. I don't think that's bad at all, and I think it's good to be honest with how you feel. Anyway, yeah. This thread, man. Lol.IP: Logged |

Take this thread with a grain of salt, don't take it too seriously...like I said you guys have so many strengths and I lot of what I wrote comes from me feeling frustrated about some Libras I care deeply for not having a better life that I feel they deserve. Libras are very very smart, can be super funny, cute and charming, have a good heart, very mindful of others....etc you guys have a ton of strengths. IP: Logged |

Everyone has weaknesses and a dark side. When you innately sense and understand the merits of fairness and looking at things from the other perspective, it wears on you throughout life that others don't, can't, or won't follow the same logical principals even if they see and understand the damage it causes others. When I'm weak, I do whine that things aren't fair, to a loved one or in my mind. It is a sad state to have such an innate sense of justice and fairness when the world does not appear to be fair in most ways. I cry for the world, for myself, for my loved ones, for the fact the most others are too self centered to even attempt to be fair to others. I notice a lot of broken women who will list their own problems when being confronted with the problems of others. I see it as a way to show they understand their pain at the injustices of the world. I try not to do that myself, and am often viewed as too logical and uncaring as a result. Many women seem to this as a bonding thing. It is not just Libras. It is too bad (unfair?) that so many others do not see they react in equally unattractive ways when they are weak or broken. Have some compassion for others weaknesses. See the other side. *sigh *mental whining ensues. How can they not See? Signed, The Libra
