Aries Sun & Libra Rising -_-

Blessing or a curse? Uhhh, I've gotten both positive and negative feedback but more negative :p

Why would it be a curse?

I actually love it; my Aries sun is the last Decan and two degrees away from Taurus, so I find that I tend to be a slightly more sensitive Aries sun, Libra rising. I'm also a Libra moon as most of you know. I consider the Libra placements a blessing. They make me very considerate and I love being connected and in harmony with others. I dislike the passiveness I sometimes have with aggressive personalities but when push comes to shove, my bit of Aries will shove you! Lol plus I have a lot of earth placements and planets in water domains so I like my chart. I think you guys could enjoy the way opposites can help the balance! There's gotta be things you like about it!

I'm an Aries sun, Libra moon & Libra rising (so double the Libra!), and I can't stand this combo at times. I have a hard time getting along with people on anything other than a superficial level. Once they see my Aries side, most get too annoyed with me to continue anything further. But personally, I don't like this combo. I feel that my Libra side makes me too boringly nice, passive and afraid of conflict even though I will confront someone if I have to or feel that it would resolve things quicker (hint: it usually does).

depressedarian, you're lucky you have a Sag moon. The extra fire there probably helps offset some of the "bait and switch" feeling that comes with having a Libra rising.

I don't even really mind how my Aries and Libra placements affect others. It's really the internal conflicts that drive me nuts. I feel like I'm constantly holding myself back from saying what I really want to say in fear of being mean, which is a real drag on both my Aries venus and Sun AND my Mars in Gemini. Ultimately, I know it's my fault. It's just fear that's keeping me from doing what I need to do. But man, do I wish I could have an Aries, Virgo, or Cap moon. I'd even take a Pisces moon if I could have it with a few additional air placements to offset it. 😆

Bc people who like me, sign up for Libra rising, not Aries sun. Does that makes sense? lol. More than likely, they don't want the complete opposite of what they were attracted to in the first place.

Exactly

Hence why it's called love at first sight..

But yeah I had to deal that too.. but sadly thing is that I used a lot of more Libra Rising than my moon because of my asocial. But really understandable of rather of with Libra than Moon since they want "sweet" & "Gullible".. Bleh. :X

Men, I do feel like I'm on the same boat as you guys are for dealing with our opposites.

When I finally showed my Aries moon, either they respected me because I'm being myself and ain't afraid of being me or very annoyed/jealous because of this. Most of the time they disliked my moon, they were delightful when I'm very "calm". 😐 They actually forget that I have Aries Mercury too since I have a mouth full of the daggers.

But because of this I have learned to realized that I might hurt people, even a few person didn't deserved this while I was frustrated/bad mood.

I know exactly what you mean. This was the part of my Aries side that I didn't like--taking out my frustrations on people who didn't deserve it. I just think my guilt over this threw me over to the other side (i.e. Libra) a little too hard.

Sorry, I hit "Post Message" before I was done with my thoughts--

With that said, if these placements don't bother you, xomelinda, then I wouldn't worry about it. The only reason I get frustrated with my Libra placements is because of the internal conflicts they cause. I feel like I doubt myself too much, especially when it comes to dealing with other people. And I also doubt my decisions too much--I'm always wondering if there's something I missed or if I should consider someone else's opinion one more time. That's all well and fine SOMETIMES, but it can also get out of hand if the Libra placements lead to a lack of self-trust, especially for an Aries.

I think it is both. I am actually a Scorp with Libra rising so just imagine what that combo brings me...lol. I am the realm of damnation itself. The people I attract the most are air signs which ends in friendship, and on the occasion when I attract earth signs it ends in flames and eternal chaos. Water......no. just no. And fire relationships fade away into nothingness and friendship also takes place of that. The Libra rising deceives many. Once a Taurus man told me (who was also a big jerk himself mind you) "you aren't really nice at all, you just act like you are. you're completely different on the inside". Granted he drove me to this point. There was a series of events that led to the breaking point, hence....ended in eternal flames and chaos, just like all other earth relationships I've had. On top of that I have a Scorp Venus with Sag Mars. In other words I am a walking paradox/disaster. I was raised by an Aqua and Libra though so I understand how air signs function for the most part but so far no luck in love, not that I'm whining about it. normally i like to do my own thing and get bored anyways. or get annoyed w the stage five clingers and cut them off cold.

The internal struggle: "do i feel this way?" "no,because he texted me three times in the hour and I was busy- I'm done" "oh he did this for me, how nice, okay I can accept this" "no I'm done, he's ignoring me" "now he's talking too much so I'm done again"

The external struggle: have to act kind to keep up appearances. don't want to hurt their feelings. time to be social and go out constantly because of the love for social gatherings even though sometimes i want to rot at home and eat junk food and become a hermit and contemplate on what brought me to this point in my life, but then I have to keep up my happy go lucky appearances in public even if I have internal chaos.

WHERE IS THE HAPPY MEDIUM? I enjoy being a rising Libra though even though I will forever be a hot mess. Another huge addition to my hot mess is my Virgo moon. So even though I love socializing I can be really shy and closed off. God just writing this makes me feel crazy lol. But I love going out and having fun but when I realize the spotlight is on me I am caught between running for the hills and basking in it because it's fun. Once I get to know people better that's when the rising L
