LIBRA..do you hold GRUDGES?

This topic was created in the Libra forum by kristalaries on Monday, July 18, 2011 and has 20 replies.

Do Libras Tend to Hold Grudges or Forgive Easily

Libras are known for valuing harmony and fairness, often preferring to forgive and move on rather than hold grudges. Their desire for peace may influence them to seek resolution quickly, but individual traits can vary based on other astrological factors and personal experiences.

When someone did wrong to you..do you tend to forgive & forget also move on..or you tend to hold grudges?
I am an Aries girl with Libra rising and..Aries is not the sign that holds grudges. I am wondering if my Libra rising is contributing to this trait..or my Leo moon 🙂

Some admin lady at office behaved catty towards me and until today I still am angry whenever I think about it, and I resent her very much.
This is not an Aries trait at all. My Aries friends told me they tend to forget because they are more self oriented. I am wondering if this is a Libra trait?

Oh hell yeah!!!!! never forget...but I hardly ever act on anything. I will never let them get that close to me again as betrayal is the utmost worst for me and definitely THEIR loss!

Like some others have said, it depends on the situation. With small stuff I let it go quickly. I don't get angry easily and I don't stay angry long. On the other hand, with big problems like betrayal I will just cut the offending person from my life. I will forgive but I don't forget. Forgiveness allows me to move on without holding some bitterness or anger inside. Remembering helps protect myself in the future.

I hold grudges, which I am trying hard to let go. Read somewhere that it's like holding a sack of potatoes throughout my journey in life, and I hate to "carry" my adversary in my mind even if it's only the thought of revenge.

That said, I have Pluto(intensity/revenge) and Saturn(loooooong retention) on my sun, and elsewhere, so if I decide to hold a grudge and act on it, for sure I can do it right up heaven and earth through many lifetimes. But I sure hope to resolve it before that.

But if impossible, then they deserve my bitterness. I usually seek revenge when I'm feeling really angry. It's a good release.

But LOVE can cure revenge. It can drown it out almost completely.

My Libra sun makes me need to restore balance so if I have been treated unfairly then I need to even the score out and then I am over it.....however my venus in scorpio sometimes makes me secretely be plotting a way to destroy the person and torture them for the rest of their life but I try to keep it under control 😛 haha

if something is bad enough to bug me, it usually bugs me a lot. so i'll either shrug off minor slights or hold massive grudges for the major offenses. if i don't forgive someone immediately, i never will.

my reasons for holding grudges are usually based on offenses to my libran sensibility, but the passion and stubbornness i hold the grudges with is probably more due to my strong leo and scorpio influences.

aries can hold grudges plenty. i don't know where you got the idea that you don't. you've got your own set of principles you hold people to, and will absolutely hate someone who offends your sensibilities. opposing signs are usually very similar, different sides of the same coin. you do things differently, but you're just as idealistic as we are.

Whoever told you that Aries wasn't the sign to hold grudges..was wrong...DEAD wrong. Aries hold grudges like muthaphucka!!! I think their only saving grace for an aries to stop holding a grudge is if..they forget they had a grudge in the first place.

I personally do not hold grudges, and if I did, that person would have had to do something...really, really, really really, REALLY fucked up to make me hate them till the end of time. And even then, I'd probably forget, or gave the appearance that I did (they would never know I still hated them.)

From my time on this forum..I have never heard or read of a libra "icing" someone out. So yah, I'd take another look at your sun...or maybe it's a sun opposite rising thing. or your sun in conjunction with your moon thing..(double fire, you have a super-super ego)

So I've been looking up aries sun again, and it says several times that "they don't hold grudges." But every aries, I've ever met, from my father, to random coworkers..to people on here held grudges so stand by..i'ma look into this.

I personally don't like holding a grudge but I sure do remember why I had a grudge in the first place with the other person lol and would act civil instead of being childish

I'm a libra with a libra rising and a Leo moon also.

Me, I never forget any slight done to me. I cam brood but the intensity wears off and I just feel numb at the person. Then I just move on and cut them off

I can't hold grudges cuz the emotion gets real hot and goes numb. Now if I always feel anger at a person, yea but I never really held grudges, I just brood real bad lol

For me it's not so much holding a grudge , but when Ive been deliberately crossed by someone or if a person shows malicious intent . They will be iced , I have no time or respect for evildoers . - Scorpios always seem to let me down in this dept.
