So i've been thinking to myself and have realized that a lot of the negative things that libran's are stereotyped for are a bit true. I am very indecisive about things and always need a reason as to what I'm doing. I've wasted so much time trying to think about what I should do instead of putting the time to do them. When I make a list of things to do they never seem to stop branching out and instead they just keep going and going. It's like i'm trying to do everything in the world all at once but thats obviously impossible.

It's really hard to just do what I do sometimes... I get off track a lot and the worst part is I know it and really don't put a lot of effort on going back to what I was doing. Basically I can't stay focused on one thing and it gets pretty hectic. Everyday is different. I'm a libra with a cap moon libra rising and I have a huge drive to be successful but at the same time it seems like i'm going the wrong way. I'm not asking for relationship help but more on self-improvements... cause I gotta say we do have a lot of weaknesses.

Thanks.

That sounds like you just need to practice following through on small things. "Follow through" is a habit that can be learned. Start it with small things. Cut the grass, fix a light, whatever... something small that only needs a small commitment and do it all the way. I don't use lists because I would never be able to finish one either. Another thing that I find helps with indecisiveness is to develop "stand bys", habits or comfortable things that if you can't decide become your default. I have never liked when someone asked what I want for dinner, I don't care. Now that I am cooking for myself all the time I drove my self nuts at first. Now I have enough stuff for my "normal" meal all the time. If I get the urge to do something different I can but I don't have to make any decision there.

As for the lost feeling you mentioned, I have a friend who is very unhappy with some decisions she is making and has made recently. She says that she feels lost. The problem is that she doesn't know where she wants to go. When you say you have a drive to be successful... doesn't everyone? You have to set goals and go after them one at a time. Get your end goal in mind, is it to be successful? Then start making shorter range goals that can act as markers. Do you want to be successful in your current career path or a new one? If a new one, go get into that field. See what I mean? Until you have a firm destination in sight you cannot be lost. You are just wandering around. Being lost is easy to fix, ask for directions but not having a destination... that's a whole different game.

Quite a good recipe (especially in business)... but where's your Mars? That could be the make or break...

You have a double cardinal mix so first things first, finishing off details will not be your strength. You want to think up other bigger schemes. That's why you may find yourself in this loop quite frequently It's like I'm trying to do everything in the world all at once but that's obviously impossible. You will think big but because of this placement, it may be easy to miss the details involved in execution of the ideas.

I bet you sometimes have the constant feeling that you should be doing something else. This is the way I see it from astrology POV;
- Capricorn is practical objective (earth sign) - ego is satisfied with practical, earthly pursuits
- Libra is intellectual objective (air sign) - ego is satisfied with intellectual, sometimes considered inpractical pursuits.
So when you start thinking of something, you will find it difficult to strike a balance about when to act due to the 2 ego needs.

I have a huge drive to be successful but at the same time it seems like i'm going the wrong way.

Successful at what is the obvious question here??_? Here is the possible confliction;
- Libra does not need to have money in the bank, as long as they are perceived as intellectual leaders, abstract thought process, a certain type of image is important due to Venus effect also 😉
- Capricorn on the other hand kinda needs that cash in the bank, degree certificates to make more money (increase status quo that leads to practical tangible ends), grounded thought process and needs to rigidly control image... this sign is one of the most persevering Cardinal signs so can be patient in accumulating that status, material needs.

If you can execute right, then you will have a lot of success as Libra and Capricorn have similar leadership, status demeanour (different goals though!), tightly controlled image, hence externally, they appear to have similar aims.
On the great side, with this double objectivity, you can see situations very very clearly, so you will be good at giving concise advice or seeing many sides of a situation. Consulting or managing a business will be your best bet 😄
On the down side, this good side when not used —modestly?? may lead to you thinking you are better than most (remember you are presenting a controlled image to the world with sun and moon so a lot of people will likely seek advise from you!). You may have a secret side of —someone else can do it and I??ll tell them how??, this is not conscious btw, and then this will lead to some —missed the boat?? scenario??_

Hence, having a strategic Mars placement like Scorpio or Aries will come in handy as natural home of the signs... they will help the reaction time to execute ideas (Scorpio preferred as Fixed sign with Mars). Gemini or Sagittarius will also be good for your Mars as they are mutable, restless signs so details easy to juggle and unknowingly execute. The astrological project finishers are rigid signs like Aqua, Scorpio, Leo or Taurus.
Again, finishing things may waste you a lot of time that could be used in exploiting your strengths.

So as I have known someone with Libra Sun and Cap Moon for over 9yrs now, I would say the only thing to inject is modesty and tolerance, learn when it is time to pull up your sleeves and get your hands dirty to avoid I get off track a lot and the worst part is I know it, try to understand that some people may not see as clearly as you, analyse your strengths and outsource it if it isn't??_ you do NOT know it all 😛
Then back to Successful at what is the obvious question here??_? If you can discern what you want to be successful at, go for it??_!

Oh and also, there may be rigid control on your emotions??_ pity on the person you date 😄

Hope I didn't offend, I have similar affliction in my chart —

Yes the double mix does have a huge impact on the way I think. At times I do think I know a lot and have a much clear view than a lot of people. The thing about money is that I believe that I don't need an incredible amount but instead only just enough to have a secure family and be able to satisfy their needs. I'm still a little bit young but it's just my current view on future $ .

Also on the path of being successful, the only obstacle in my way is the risk. I feel as if I don't think I can balance out both family and being fully satisfied with my personal work. I want to devote my time on both but if I lose control I will lose one of the two. I deeply want to have a very good family later on and also be satisfied with work too. I just can't choose between them or develop a realistic plan to be able to balance them.

Even though at times I do realize that I know a lot more than others, I try not to think that I am better than others because there are people who can follow through with there ideas. But I can get kind of stubborn on my opinions which can unleash my conceited side at times. Your views are pretty accurate though on the "secret side" because usually I do present the ideas and have people do the work.

Oh and if you could please elaborate why you would pity someone I date it would be helpful since I kind of think of it as a negative aspect that I may have.

No offence was taken. I take good advice very seriously and appreciate all of it.

The best way to improve a Libra is Reincarnation - joke

The booze trick does work very well though, they seem to relax and gain the confidence to make decisions. Granted drunk decisions aren't usually that good for anyone, but hey it beats the indecision. And drunk or not they've usually thought for an eternity about the decision before downing the bottle - so a drunk Libras decisions are better than most.

All told, I don't think any Libra needs to change - every sign has its own subjective good and bad points. For me the good points heavily outweigh the bad ones in the case of most Libras.

Then again, maybe they could loose the indecision. No Libras are fine as they are. Maybe if they where a touch more decisive. No their eternal debates with themselves are charming. Perhaps once in a while they could be purposive. Possibly, but that might spoil their natural charm with assertion. And so it continues 🙂
