Libra/Scorpio cusp

Greetings! This is my first post on any forum. I've been browsing this site for about three months now reading the various entertaining Libra posts. (The most entertaining and enlightening being generally the ones from Little Sparrow I believe.) 🙂

Please excuse my lack of formal forum etiquette if this research has already been touched upon. My birthdate is October 21st at roughly noon. I have found that there is a relative lack of immidiate information that would help my quest for greater self-awareness of the Libra/Scorpio cusp. I've searched Google, Yahoo, etc. for quite some time now, but everything I come across is vague at best. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Oh! And hello to all you fine Librans! Making the world a better place with each breath taken. 😉

You are a libra. If you were a scorpio, your arrangement of words above itself would have been different. You cannot be both libran or scorpio. Infact tats been debated around but personally i dont buy the thing called cusp. Also just 2 days back I got my friend back after 13 years. This girl was my classmate till 8th grade and i had a crush on her. She buzzed me after 13 years and had a great long 3 hrs chat only to discover that she is a libran. Born on 22nd Oct. 😉 So u can relax.

Libra/Scorpio
October 19 to October 23

Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac; Scorpio is the eighth. After Libra's intellectual exploration of other people, Scorpio's interest is in discovering other people's emotions and how they respond to the world around them. Scorpio is the sign of sex and death, the beginning and ending, and they explore these ideas from an emotional standpoint. Libra/Scorpios strive to create balance and harmony between self and other through investigation and probing. They are often strongly intuitive and penetrating. They have a need to be liked.

The astrological symbol of Libra is the Scales. Like the scales of justice, Librans are objective and just. They abhor unfairness and conflict, striving above all for peace; but at times they are easily deterred from their beliefs. Librans are able to see all sides of an argument, but as their mental scales sway back and forth, they may never find balance. The astrological symbol of Scorpio is the Scorpion. Like the mythical scorpion, those born under this sign tend to be strong-willed and wary of being controlled by others. In keeping with Libra's cardinal quality, Libra/Scorpios are diplomatic and cooperative; they are skilled at initiating group projects. They can be stubborn, refusing to give up when others have long since become bored and abandoned a project. Libra/Scorpios get things done when no one else thought it possible. In this way, the fixed quality of Scorpio is expressed. When Libra/Scorpios set goals for themselves, they are determined to succeed. They have their own agenda and work to achieve their desires.

Libra is ruled by the planet Venus. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus (and her Greek equivalent, Aphrodite) was the goddess of love, beauty and pleasure. She represented joy, happiness and appreciation of beautiful things. Scorpio is ruled by the planets Mars and Pluto. In ancient Roman mythology, Mars (and his Greek equivalent, Ares) was the god of war, and ancient astrologers assigned both Aries and Scorpio to this planet. Pluto (and his Greek equivalent, Hades) was the god of the underworld, and when the planet Pluto was discovered early in the 20th century, astrologers assigned Scorpio to it.

Libra/Scorpios are seductive and attractive, commanding and intense. Cultural awareness and a talkative nature help them shine in the social situations they so enjoy. The element associated with Libra is Air. The element associated with Scorpio is Water. Libr

Libra/Scorpios are skilled at communication and abstract reasoning, and their intelligence combines with their interest in others to become an intellectual exploration of those around them. They may repress their emotions, but underneath they are lusty and perceptive. Libra/Scorpios are motivated and loyal, but they are often misunderstood and may be seen as dictatorial or sarcastic. If they have an ulterior motive, they can be overbearing, but in a subtle, sly or manipulative way.

Libra/Scorpios are both mystical and scientific, a combination that makes them very aware of what is happening around them; they are a sign of great depth. If they aren't careful, though, their passionate nature may lead them into self-indulgence or compulsion. In their leisure time, Libra/Scorpios tend to have a definite lazy streak. However, this is barely perceptible because they also enjoy difficult pursuits that challenge them to excel, and they refuse to settle for being anything less than the best. They may have a particular affinity for activities that let them get out in nature.

In love relationships, Libra is playful, romantic and devoted. The great strength of the Libra/Scorpio-born is in their drive for peace and harmony and their determination to see things through to the end. Their skill at seeing all sides of a situation with great passion and strength makes them one of the most powerful characters of the zodiac.

My mother was born on the 22nd so is a libra whos scorp cuspy also so shot if you've got any questions about other cuspys.Im a full fledged scorp though(nov. 4th).

Oh yeah and welcome to the boards and since your most likely wondering why that took 3 different posts,this site has a character number limit for posts.Once a poster hits its limit it cuts the remaining off.😛

Ah! I see, so its not entirely confirmed if there even is such a thing as cusp! I've inquired about this to many different people since I know quite a few Librans, and we all do seem to have a bit in common, but it seems as though they are comparatively soft. It seems as though I'll have to do a bit more searching!

Hello Citrabro!

Welcome to Libraland!

Haha, thank you little sparrow! I was wondering where you were 😛 From the posts i've read your keen intellect is impressive 😉

Absolutely antibling! I've really noticed a good amount of traits not really within placement in either. It's not like "You do this like a Libra, and this like a Scorpio", it's more of an inter-meshing like, "I do this part like Libra with a little twist of Scorpio on the side." Its really hard to place and extremely hard to categorize though... Indeed, I also have a hard time thinking that the line just stops somewhere, like the beginning or end of a time zone.

Bling, I know you disagree but I really see you as way more of a Libra than a Scorp. Bread is a total Scorp. You not so much. You don't live through your feelings enough. You are too detached and playful.

I know. I know. You disagree. 🙂

"I can't think that a persons attitude/being (within the realms of astro personality traits) changing with the precison of a clock hand seconds/minutes....I'm 23/10, and I don't have either all usual Libra or Scorp traits...."

This sentence itself is put in a logical fashion. Scorps dont know how to do it. 😉

I never used to believe in cusps.. but they are real!

The Lib/Sco are more feral Libras..

I think I believe in cusps , Ive seen it in some peolpe of all signs , anyway you would think with cuspy people the other placements like Moon and Mercury become more influencing.
