Libra
If you see a person visibly cringe when someone expresses anger or is confrontational, you may be in the presence of a Libra. Libra craves balance and harmony. The problem is that it is just not realistic. Hence, Libra must find some way to deal with the dissension which is part of everyday life.

A fire sign may look for the opportunity to fight. An Aries will insert himself into any debate, for the sheer joy of butting heads. Libra is the sign opposite Aries. The opposite signs have opposite traits, as that is the nature of the Zodiac wheel. Aries thinks in a self centered way. Libra thinks in an “other centered” way. The sign of Libra is in it’s detriment for the Sun. Hence, a Libra Sun will always have some deficit of ego compared to other signs. He may be more self doubting. He may harbor an inner insecurity. The sign of Libra just does not go well with ego, which demands a narcissism, albeit a healthy narcissism.

Venus becomes her best self in the sign of Libra. The Libra Venus has a natural refinement. She does not like coarse behavior. She does not like off color jokes. She has a natural balance and harmony. That which does not work well for the Sun, works wonderfully with Venus. The Libra Venus will, usually, be an art or music lover. Her favorite date may be to an art museum. She will attempt to beautify any space in which she finds herself.

Libra does not do well in Mercury, as Libra is indecisive. Mercury is the mind. The mind likes being definite. The mind does not like to yin/yang from side to side when trying to think and reason. It is a distraction of great magnitude. Hence, the Libra Mercury may, always, struggle due to the inherent, indecisive nature of the sign of Libra.

In the same way, Mars does not like to be in the sign of Libra. Mars is one’s drive: one’s pursuit of goals. Libra is an indecisive sign. Mars likes to do his thing and not be encumbered with too much debate.

Libra is a Cardinal sign which does mean leader. I suppose one could say that Libra will stay the course, once he makes up his mind, if you can wait around long enough.

One of my closest friends is a fellow Libra who has Libra venus. That description of Libra venus fits her almost to a T, except she swears like a sailor 😄

I, on the other hand, have Scorpio venus, and I hate cussing and coarse language. But she does it with such grace and elegance though, that I actually find it charming.

Same. I'm not afraid of confrontation at all. I like to get it all out on the table and dealt with. My sister and my mom (both libras) are a lot more hesitant than me though. They handle their problems in a completely different way and neither of them appreciates my approach.
i don't mind my own confrontation but i admit, i takes me a long while to truly get there but yes, i absolutely cringe at someone else's confrontation.

maybe it's not so much the confrontation but perhaps it is the way it is delivered. if it is angry and full of fury (and unwarranted) i want the ground to swallow me and the whole scene up.

any of those judging panel shows? pop idol, x factor, etc. i can't watch them. it's like water boarding to me.

The Sign of Scorpio is in detriment in Venus

Venus in Scorpio—Beauty Revealed in Ugliness; “Beauty and the Beast”:
Scorpio is the sign of the “monster” (EA 333), of that that which is abnormal and deviates widely (and frighteningly) from the design of Nature. Venus is the planet of beauty. Together, they give the capacity to discern beauty in ugliness. Though the surface expression be repulsive, Venus can see beneath it and into the soul, discovering beauty in the deeper recesses of the self. To sense and cultivate the beauty within the beast, of course, transforms and redeems the beast

Venus in Scorpio—“Fatal Attraction” to Negativity and the “Dark Side”:
Within the last decade there appeared an interesting film called “Fatal Attraction”. It emphasized morbid, obsessive love and death. Venus in Scorpio leads into such fatal attractions, which end with the death of the ones attracted, or of the love which attracted them (a preferable conclusion). Once in the clutches of such an attraction, release is extraordinarily difficult. The alluring magnetism must be broken and it is extremely resistant. Sometimes “fatal attractions” are really “fated attractions”, having to do with the expiation of karma. The apparently negative situations which result are actually staging a release from some vice—often a release through the medium of pain.
Orthodoxly ”‘ an attraction to that which is low and which should be rejected.

Venus in Scorpio—Loss of Love through Death:
Voluntary death is rare, except upon initiates. Usually, death is involuntary, and when Venus is found in Scorpio, people may find themselves deprived (Scorpio) of that which they love (Venus). This, of course, can serve the purpose of developing detachment.

Venus in Scorpio—Love of Death:
With the combination, Venus in Scorpio, the planet of love is found in the pre-eminent sign of death. In the consideration of most, love and death are considered opposites, for death is all that most human beings love least. Combining these two influences, therefore, is likely to produce an unusual result. For some, this may mean a morbid, unnatural, life-denying love of death, or of those unhealthy, destructive ways of ‘living’ which lead to death. For others, there may come the realization that love (Venus) leads to death (Scorpio). This was graphically the case in pre-scientific days, due to the high incidence of death in child-birth. Venus in Taurus (the sign opposite to Scorpio) represents a love of all that is natural, vital and alive.

In traditional astrology the Sun is not in detriment in Libra:

Detriment

The term detriment is used in astrology to refer to the sign of the zodiac that is opposite to a planet’s domicile.

When a planet is in the sign that is opposite to its own domicile, it is said to be in its detriment.

Traditional sources consider a planet being in its detriment to be a debilitating factor.

In traditional astrology, each planet has its detriment in the following signs:

Mars – Taurus and Libra

Venus – Aries and Scorpio

Mercury – Sagittarius and Pisces

Moon – Capricorn

Sun – Aquarius

Jupiter – Gemini and Virgo

Your information is inaccurate. Why are so obsessed with Libra? If i were you I would focus on Your own detriment; Scorpio in Venus. Where are getting all these wrong facts? All you have to do is google signs and their detriments. This is pretty universal.

The Sun: Detriment in Aquarius
The Moon: Detriment in Capricorn
Mercury: Detriment in Sagittarius and Pisces
Venus: Detriment in Aries and Scorpio
Mars: Detriment in Taurus and Libra
Jupiter: Detriment in Gemini and Virgo
Saturn: Detriment in Cancer and Leo
