I don't understand them honestly...

Just too fake and shallow. I have a Gemini mars and aqua moon, I just can't..

The women is incredibly beautiful and the men are so charming, life of the party but that's about it..

Maybe because I'm a Virgo..

Libras have no depth to me.. They across smart but in the end just self absorbed...


It is nice of you to say YOU don't understand them rather than unleashing your fury like some people do. From your comment, it seems like you really don't understand us, with all due respect. I see all of the things you point at and I know which traits they correspond with and yeah, I confirm you misread a lot of it.

It's okay, though, you are part of the majority who doesn't get us, and that probably means that we are hard to get rather than people being dumb. I forgive you.

I can't and won't judge the entire sign based on the few that I have known; however, the few that I have known have been narcissist.
One of the few truly sensible comments. 😉

I am not surprised at the narcissist impression. I have had that comment before. I do believe it is the wrong word for the know-it-all streak we seem to have. We are intellectual and social, so we talk a lot, through which we develop a certain verve (which we already possess plenty of from the get-go), and when you combine the verve, the knowledge and the talkativeness, it makes sense to have that impression.

To me, it is nothing more than an impression. I am just having fun sharing and discussing knowledge, taking in as much as I provide. I do lose patience with and get bossy around people who partake in debate when they obviously suck at debate, but since bias and cognitive dissonance are mortal sins, I don't feel guilty about meting out commensurate punishment. 😉
Forgive me. I just reread your post and you have already answered my question. I got it.

To be clear, stupidity, immaturity and handing out opinions one clearly isn't in a position to formulate (religious quarrels are the best example of all three) irritate me to the point I will actively irritate the perpetrator and even sometimes cunningly mentally abuse them in a way I cannot be accused of and in a way that their irrational response will gain me more social support against them. If then someone calls me a narcissist, not only am I not insulted, I am proud to be erroneously accused of it, which further proves my point. As for those who judge me for such behavior, you guys miss the opportunity to teach a well-deserved lesson, making it politically incorrect to point out that the emperor is buck naked.

Libras a lot of times are honestly good people who want to make everyone happy. It does get annoying how they would suppress what they want or how they really feel just to please you when they could have just spoken up and said what they wanted, but honestly they do it for the sake of the relationship. A lot of times, a Libra will seem very nice and social when behind he mask, they have their own agenda and are working towards that while stringing you along to have someone to talk to. They're social climbers who want to be out there but can be very indulgent and lazy. It's like they try to rely on their friendship with you to take them places.

I don't think we are the most misunderstood.

I think it depends on the person...it's difficult to clump every person of every sign together.

I know some pretty awful people of each sign and some amazing ones too. But being on sites like this often (where people tend to vent about what went wrong vs. discussing what is going well) or reading stereotypical stuff about your sign/placements could drive a person who takes it seriously a little crazy...??

My thoughts on this are: There are some crazy, lying, off their rocker Libras out there.. and there are others who are not. It's as simple as that.

Know who you are and let the rest go.

Well, I am certainly fond of Leos, but only a 2nd decan Libra could write such a powerful and well-written (due I dare say) post. Sounded more like a sermon for a revolution. I suppose the 3rd could have written it just as well, but it would have been a bit "lighter."

Well-written.

Fire signs seems to see us as weak. Earth signs seem to see us as fake. Water signs seem to see us as emotionally retarded can we catch a break?! Haha.

Is it weak to not want to blow up in peoples faces and to try resolve things rationally. Is it fake to try and take on awkward/diffucult situations with a smile and a bit of humour? Is it cold to not base every decision on emotions amd how we "feel"?

I may be passive aggressive but I still get my point across, I am the strongest person I know (although I have mentioned I only really hang with Libras so maybe I'm just the least weak haha) and I can sympathize/empathize with those who have been wronged. I'm care free, fun, will always fight for the underdog (whether its me or someone I dont even know!) and Know exactly what I want and am not afraid to use my wit and charm to get it.

My scorps sister whos going through a lot at the moment actually admited the other day that she wishes she could be moe like me and not let things effect her and emotionally torment her and be less bitter about things and know how to take a joke at her expense. First time she had ever said anything positive about a Lbra lol

Libras seem to get a lot of stick! Dont hate us cuz you aint us :p
Buhahahahaha emotionally retarded?!? Hahahah, you so funny! Nooo, I don't think that. I see you as fake, not emotionally retarded! Everything is fine with your sign...except 😉 :

- you're too detached. I would always doubt your "love" for me, if u're my friend/bf/whatever

- you're too charming. It comes of as manipulative. And I prefer if someone want's sth. from me, he/she should ask it directly and not try to manipulate me into anything.

And this comes from an emotional sponge! 😄 Hahahahaha

Sorry, but I wouldn't want to be you. :p There's an issue when you won't stand up for yourself when you're too concerned with keeping the peace. You appear as a doormat.

Libran traits aren't bad per se, but in certain situations, they really do NOT help you all much.

You're so worried about coming off as "nice" and don't want to rock the boat that you appear fake when it comes to this approach with people that you do not care for, you appear weak because this allows people to walk all over you, and you appear cold because your decisions are not only based on "non" emotional factors, but based in a very "me" centric approach (i.e. you walk away from someone because you're done, or change your attitude toward them, but you won't tell them why because OMG CONFLICT. You run off because you hope that they just "get" it.)

I think the only time that you could be considered "misunderstood" is when you all use your traits in the most inappropriate ways. There are just some things that are common decency that a lot of Libras don't really follow (or any air sign) as they should, hence all the "hate."

example- being flaky, admitting to being flaky, and then not understanding why people want to strangle you.
Or when you don't want to face conflict with someone when disappearing/changing your attitude toward them, etc. The only reason this is a problem is because the approach caters to your emotions and has total disregard for the other party involved. Cue you guys wondering why people "hate" you.



SPOT ON!

Being a libra, people that aren't super close to us, only know the surface. We are actually probably the strongest of the zodiac. We push aside our own emotions, and make rational decisions. We also stand up for fairness and justice. I've noticed through life, that many people will cry about petty things. Libras want to change the world. Their strength is overlooked by their peaceful nature. But don't let that fool you. I've had to stand up and do the most difficult things, that I know many others couldn't do. I'm not saying that to brag on myself, I'm saying that to encourage other Libras. We are misunderstood, but what others view as a weakness it actually a strength. Be proud of that! Also Libras, it's hard for us to feel misunderstood because we understand or try to understand everyone. It hurts when others don't give us the same time and attention.

Wow I'm Libra dominant, with Libra moon too. I can totally relate and agree with that post. I don't think many are as mentally strong as I am, the things I've had to go through, didn't crack under the pressure and it's definitely over looked because of my peaceful nature.


You sound lovely 🙂

Count me in, I am much like that, too. To me, it is a curse because people tend to conclude I am a masochist, thus a doormat, and thus start dumping their butter on me, because "it's a piece of cake for you, right?". Then, I have to tell them I will take on their butter if they take on mine, and I come off as insensitive to THEIR treetrunking needs, like I didn't have any of my own.

It is not because I still stand long after others have fallen that I enjoy it and that it doesn't leave scars. And if I didn't quit when others did, it is not because I enjoy getting the blows intended for others.

I think what people don't realise is that I just pick my battles. I'm not afraid of confrontation if it's necessary. For instance I probably take more shit than I should and do nothing about it because I either think, you know what I can't be bothered wasting my energy on you so I'll just be the bigger person and rise above it.

However if it's do with my children or I see someone been taken advantage of or the underdog I'm not scared to get stuck in and wipe the floor with people. Maybe that is my Pisces empathetic side coming out where I feel others pain so it fuels me as I know how they are feeling where as when it's myself I just pick myself up and dust myself off. I never ask anyone for help or to fight my battles but I'll be the first to help someone else.

WOW..This is an old post!!!

But, Agree....weak, passive and non-confrontational is the last thing that I am, but it seems people have a hard time understanding that if their irrelevant, time is not wasted on trying to make you understand anything. Anyone and anything that is of importance to you, will be fully understood, and not much of an explanation is needed.

What is the point of swelling up your chest and flying off the handle with someone that holds little to no relevance in your life. Yes, there are times when you have to exert your anger, and trust me, I have not one an iota of problem doing that, but why waste time arguing with someone that's insignificant. Life's too short to be walking around polluting the air with temper tantrums. Soooo, you got it off your chest.....now what? At the end of the day I'm still going to do me no matter how much air you blow out of your azz, but if works for you, then do you. Thing is.....I pretty much knew that the entire time you were having an Exorcist moment and your head was spinning around and you were spewing your venom. My decision was already made and no amount of whining was going to make a difference, but because you don't get the reaction from a Libra that you are looking for doesn't mean they don't react.

Bottom line, every sign handles their issues differently, and that's the way it should be.It's a weak azz human being that thinks they can dictate to you how you should act when they have laundry list of their own jacked up behaviors...JSMDH

Well, I have a stellium of 5 planets in Libra and Mercury a bit behind also in the sign...that would make me fairly Libran, but a woman I should note. The thing is... strength, courage and resilience are qualities I get told I am having, paradoxically even people who dislike me seem to sort of grant me those and respect me for them.

About confrontation... I'm afraid it's just stuff projected on the sign for no good reason. I fight for what I think it's right, and I am definitely open and honest with people - some go awry cause they can't stand hearing about certain dimensions of reality. So yeah.

Also speaking of confrontation, when I have a question, I ask...and usually get an answer in one form or another. Meaning I don't really wait around upset because of a possible conflict that I imagine. Not to confuse energy pointlessly wasted in everyday aggressions whose source we are to lazy to question with an inability to pursue our interests in a direct and ethical manner.

Hmm. I didn’t even realize people had such hostility towards Libras as a whole. I assumed I just rub some people the wrong way because I like to keep shizz real and don’t sugarcoat anything. And what’s up with these weird sayings like “treetrunking” and such? I mean I get the jest of it but I’m curious as to how this made up language started. Is there like no cussing allowed or something?

As a Libra, I’m far from being a pushover. I’m actually probably the most confrontational person you’ll ever meet. But I also choose my battles. If you don’t like me, who the hell cares? I don’t like you either. If you’re not paying my bills or signing my paycheck, I could care less what your opinion of me is. I don’t like fake or two-faced people and prefer to not be bothered with them or have them around me. So yeah, I’m not gonna waste my time or energy arguing with someone who I could give two rats azzes about. But I’m also more loyal than a dog and if you come at my friends or loved ones, I will fight til my last breath to defend them. Like Tupac said, “your enemies my enemies. You ain’t ever had a friend like me.” Not sure how that would be considered a negative trait but I guess if people want to surround themselves around fake “priends” that can’t be trusted, to each their own right?

I guess I can admit to being arrogant... but I also have my “dumb blonde” moments and can laugh at myself or make jokes at my expense to lighten the mood and bring myself back down to earth. I don’t know if I agree with the whole “passive agressive” thing as I’m just too real to downplay anything. If I don’t like you, trust me, you’ll know it!! Lack of respect for other people’s dignity? Again we go back to the “keeping it real” comment..... I’m not trying to hurt your feelings. Personally I would rather someone tell me if I have toilet paper stuck under my shoe, or a big cliffhanger hanging from my nose, then to laugh about it behind my back or let others see me like that. I’m just extending the same courtesy to you that I would hope you would do for me.

With the whole, not accepting personal responsibility?? Hmm. I mean if you think I don’t accept personal responsibility, then you’re assuming you’re right and I’m wrong yes?? Well I’m NOT wrong. So maybe YOU’RE the one not accepting personal responsibility? Just food for thought 😉

Ok so I guess yeah maybe a lot of these do apply to me, after all. But many don’t as well. I’m not gonna let some horoscope define me. While I may share similar personality traits with others of my sign, it’s my cultures, family, and life experiences that have molded me into the person I am today. Can’t nobody put me into a prepackaged box because I’m one of a kind.

And can somebody PLEASE share with me what all these other moons and extras phases and stuff are about? All I know is I’m a Libra. But you guys are adding all kinds of cool extra stuff that has sparked my interest 🙂

3 things:

1) adjust your profanity filter in settings and you'll be able to enjoy a rich vernacular. i don't know how those particular euphemisms came to be.

2) it's "couldn't care less". if you "could care less", it means you have some level of caring. step it up.

3) if you want to know the rest of you placements - moon, venus, mercury etc - go here http://astro.cafeastrology.com/natal.php

There are so many things that people say about Libras that just aren't true. Out of the Libras I know none of us are"

1. Never want to be alone but always want to be coupled. I love being alone, whether it's shopping, eating out,

movies or even just going to the park.

2. Indecisive. I know immediately what I want and what choice to make.

3. Flaky. If you mean change my mind and not want to be bothered seeing you (you're right)!

4. People Pleaser: So not true. I could care less if people like me or not. I can be very blunt sometimes

and definitely have never run from a fight.

5. Doormat: No one has ever been able to walk over me. When I've been in a bad relationship or marriage I've

ended it immediately and divorced.

See this is what confuses me I dont see Libras as door mats. I have never seen a Libra stay quiet. Librans aree full of debate and questions t and have an opinion on EVERYTHING!his is why I say "misunderstood" My husband is a Libra and I definately didnt choose him because he had the ability to keep quiet and let me walk all over him lol I picked him because he's not afraid to challenge what I say. Whereas other signs (cancers in particular) I was able to walk ovr and just wanted them to stand up to me but they never did.

Most sites will say the perfect job for Librans a Lawyer/Solicitor and you dont get more confrontational then that lol.

Your description of a Libra is nothing like how I am or how the ones I know are. I have never "ran away" or "backed down" to keep the peace. My dad (cancer) has always called me a trouble maker because I always go against the crowd.

I also remember a few years ago a post where it seemed a lot of us Libras had all been debt collectors now that is hardly non confrontational lol.

To me your post proves my point exactly you just dont get us!!
I have Libra sun, moon, mercury and mars and I always go against the tide also. It use to drive my parents nuts. I'm extremely brave and will not back down from any fight. I will try to talk it out first but if they want to go further; I'm game.

I have never had issues with libra mensajes, But I just can't function with libra females. I'm a Scorpio with Pluto,Saturn,Jupiter and Mercury in libra. I see libra women as great pretenders. I know quite a lot of them they all play soft and nice while they need you and later ruthlessly discard you. They are all flirty and fabulous when things are going their way. If not, welcome to hell. I dislike conflicts, but only females I've gotten into conflict with were females. All astrology sites just praise Libra's as wonderful and balanced, loving women. That's very misleading I might say. Hope I'll meet one who will prove me wrong.
I find it interesting that you are on a Libra forum considering the way you feel about Libras.

You ain’t ever had a friend like me.” Not sure how that would be considered a negative trait but I guess if people want to surround themselves around fake “priends” that can’t be trusted, to each their own right?

I guess I can admit to being arrogant... but I also have my “dumb blonde” moments and can laugh at myself or make jokes at my expense to lighten the mood and bring myself back down to earth. I don’t know if I agree with the whole “passive agressive” thing as I’m just too real to downplay anything. If I don’t like you, trust me, you’ll know it!! Lack of respect for other people’s dignity? Again we go back to the “keeping it real” comment..... I’m not trying to hurt your feelings. Personally I would rather someone tell me if I have toilet paper stuck under my shoe, or a big cliffhanger hanging from my nose, then to laugh about it behind my back or let others see me like that. I’m just extending the same courtesy to you that I would hope you would do for me.

With the whole, not accepting personal responsibility?? Hmm. I mean if you think I don’t accept personal responsibility, then you’re assuming you’re right and I’m wrong yes?? Well I’m NOT wrong. So maybe YOU’RE the one not accepting personal responsibility? Just food for thought 😉

Ok so I guess yeah maybe a lot of these do apply to me, after all. But many don’t as well. I’m not gonna let some horoscope define me. While I may share similar personality traits with others of my sign, it’s my cultures, family, and life experiences that have molded me into the person I am today. Can’t nobody put me into a prepackaged box because I’m one of a kind.

And can somebody PLEASE share with me what all these other moons and extras phases and stuff are about? All I know is I’m a Libra. But you guys are adding all kinds of cool extra stuff that has sparked my interest 🙂
Spoken like a TRUE Libra!

I have never had issues with libra mensajes, But I just can't function with libra females. I'm a Scorpio with Pluto,Saturn,Jupiter and Mercury in libra. I see libra women as great pretenders. I know quite a lot of them they all play soft and nice while they need you and later ruthlessly discard you. They are all flirty and fabulous when things are going their way. If not, welcome to hell. I dislike conflicts, but only females I've gotten into conflict with were females. All astrology sites just praise Libra's as wonderful and balanced, loving women. That's very misleading I might say. Hope I'll meet one who will prove me wrong.
Well damn. My closet friends are Scorpios.

There are so many things that people say about Libras that just aren't true. Out of the Libras I know none of us are"

1. Never want to be alone but always want to be coupled. I love being alone, whether it's shopping, eating out,

movies or even just going to the park.

2. Indecisive. I know immediately what I want and what choice to make.

3. Flaky. If you mean change my mind and not want to be bothered seeing you (you're right)!

4. People Pleaser: So not true. I could care less if people like me or not. I can be very blunt sometimes

and definitely have never run from a fight.

5. Doormat: No one has ever been able to walk over me. When I've been in a bad relationship or marriage I've

ended it immediately and divorced.
oh, ffs, it's COULDN'T care less.

Sorry, but I wouldn't want to be you. :p There's an issue when you won't stand up for yourself when you're too concerned with keeping the peace. You appear as a doormat.

Libran traits aren't bad per se, but in certain situations, they really do NOT help you all much.

You're so worried about coming off as "nice" and don't want to rock the boat that you appear fake when it comes to this approach with people that you do not care for, you appear weak because this allows people to walk all over you, and you appear cold because your decisions are not only based on "non" emotional factors, but based in a very "me" centric approach (i.e. you walk away from someone because you're done, or change your attitude toward them, but you won't tell them why because OMG CONFLICT. You run off because you hope that they just "get" it.)

I think the only time that you could be considered "misunderstood" is when you all use your traits in the most inappropriate ways. There are just some things that are common decency that a lot of Libras don't really follow (or any air sign) as they should, hence all the "hate."

example- being flaky, admitting to being flaky, and then not understanding why people want to strangle you.
Or when you don't want to face conflict with someone when disappearing/changing your attitude toward them, etc. The only reason this is a problem is because the approach caters to your emotions and has total disregard for the other party involved. Cue you guys wondering why people "hate" you.


However, in the appropriate situations, these traits aren't really bad. You're around a hostile situation with some jerk? You can keep the peace and work that Libran charm to get them to stfu.

Abusive relationship? Hypothetically, I can see you guys walking away when you're fed up (though many Librans I know keep themselves in ridiculous situations because of... dun dun dun conflict is teh scurry!).

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a hateful response, but purely observation from the many I've known. I've had to defend a few on some occasions because someone is taking advantage of their easygoing nature and it kinda pisses me off.
Shiiiit! Would you want to be YOU??!

Dude chill on the grammar nazi tendencies. I’m quite sure we all know what it SHOULD be. We just choose not to care. Some cultures speak broken English in social settings. Hence why there’s an Urban Dictionary.

Oh and thanks so much for the link you gave me. 😘 My “astrology reading” was so cool, I was like “dayamm, that’s totally me!” Then I continued reading and started wondering what the deal was. I mean when you start adding all those moons and stars and what have you, I noticed basically every single personality trait was listed. For instance, one section says I love to travel and another section says I’ll be happier staying in one place... 🤔 so which one is it?? Haha! I guess these things are designed so you can pick and choose which one applies to you 😂😂

It was pretty fun though

You know the correct phrase but choose not to care? So you choose not to say what you mean? That's efficient.

It's got nothing to do with slang. It is about unintentionally saying the opposite of what you mean which makes you sound like a dumbass. it's born out of ignorance rather than any sort of subversive regional protest.

Speaking of urban dictionary...

i could care less

an expression that idiots use when they don't care about something or have no interest in something. what they really mean is "i couldn't care less"

john: this video game is so good. i could play it forever

jim: i could care less. i hate video games.

john: wait, so you could care less.... that means that you care somewhat. you mean "i couldn't care less"?

jim: what? no. i don't give a shit about your dumb video game.

john: you're a fucking retard.

Omg just stop! I don’t think there’s anything more obnoxious than a grammar nazi. Really what is this burning desire you have to correct everyone’s grammar? Will the world stop turning if someone messes up their grammar? Has any catastrophe ever occurred as a result of someone’s poor grammar? Hell if someone makes a measurement or calculation error, buildings can come crashing down, planes can fall from the sky, or formulas can poison people. But never in the history of mankind has someone died because of poor grammar.... At least not in this century. I can’t speak for what lunatics and fanatics did back before indoor plumbing was invented.

Every time you correct someone’s grammar, you might as well instead say, “I think I’m smarter than you.” And sorry, I don’t care how well you performed in English Lit class, unless you’re an engineer or rocket scientist, chances are, you’re not smarter than me. English is just one language out of many, but math is universal.

And FYI, you shouldn’t presume to be an expert on the way people communicate in every single culture.... because you’re not. Urban Dictionary was just an example I used because it’s widespread and something more people can relate to. But Pidgin or “Broken English” IS part of my culture. When a significant percentage of the population is comprised of uneducated blue collar workers or immigrants with English as their second language, you have to relate with them on a common level. You cannot build working relationships with people when you have a pompous, holier than thou attitude. It alienates and belittles people. And in some cases, it’s just plain mean. You need to assess your audience and communicate with them accordingly. Maybe that’s just my “Libra personality” talking, trying to please everyone. While you call it “ignorance,” I like to think it’s about having common decency and consideration for others, regardless of their education level or background. When you talk “above” someone with little to no education, how do you think that makes them feel?

With that said, unless I’m drafting an email or a letter to give to a client, I write how I normally speak. I have no need to prove my level of intelligence by demonstrating how gracefully I embrace the English language. My reputation precedes me and everyone who matters knows I’m competent and excel at what I do. And seeing as how I work with numbers, formulas, and calculations all day, I COULD CARE LESS, if I incorrectly construct a sentence when posting a COMMENT ON A BLOG.

I think most Libras would be happiest just hanging around other air signs and leave fire, water and earth alone. They hate us!
Nahhhh... That's a bad list tbh...

My advice to all my other Libras:

Stay away from / Don't get close to these signs:

Cancer

Pisces

Aries



Others are cool and much more friendly.

I don't think my list was bad. You left Scorpio off your list.

I know this is super old but LMAO!! People really do have misconceptions of us I'm nearly baffled. I mean everyone is different regardless of their sign. People think I'm a Scorpio (I have Moon & Mars in Scorpio), but they're amazed to know I'm a Libra. Of course everyone should want peace in general but I'm the type of Libra that DOESN'T GIVE A F*** what you think and I'm as blunt as can be. Unlike my husband who is an Aries, he acts nothing like it. He's not impulsive, very quiet, and is very down to earth. It all depends on the person themselves. Their environment, culture, child hood, etc. Looking at just the Sun sign is a bunch of shit and people who really think bias of every sign is ignorant and closed minded. People should expand their thinking before making stereotypical judgments. And whoever came up with Astrology needs their ass kicked because of discussions like this!!

know what, i'd rather a fake libra.

than whatever kind of libra my uncle is.

he worries too much and that's fine coz i'm a virgo but he will antagonize you over whatever is mentally stressing him out. and these aren't even things that will kill you or anything like chill pls. then he whines over little things like him having to cook like wtf who gonna cook for your kids? weirdo.

and he's demeaning like would talk down to you even if it's just over making coffee coz apparently he's the only one who ever does it right.

like give me a break with that stick up your... always with the sky falling down.

for a venusian energy, libra is far from relaxing.

always worried about this or that or what someone else will say.

deciding on things being blown up into ridiculous proportions like it's some kinda life and death situation.

neurotic but charming enough so that you won't notice outwardly.

hmmm there's a similarity to virgo but then again we have our drugs to resort to lol.

Fire signs seems to see us as weak. Earth signs seem to see us as fake. Water signs seem to see us as emotionally retarded can we catch a break?! Haha.



Is it weak to not want to blow up in peoples faces and to try resolve things rationally. Is it fake to try and take on awkward/diffucult situations with a smile and a bit of humour? Is it cold to not base every decision on emotions amd how we "feel"?



I may be passive aggressive but I still get my point across, I am the strongest person I know (although I have mentioned I only really hang with Libras so maybe I'm just the least weak haha) and I can sympathize/empathize with those who have been wronged. I'm care free, fun, will always fight for the underdog (whether its me or someone I dont even know!) and Know exactly what I want and am not afraid to use my wit and charm to get it.



My scorps sister whos going through a lot at the moment actually admited the other day that she wishes she could be moe like me and not let things effect her and emotionally torment her and be less bitter about things and know how to take a joke at her expense. First time she had ever said anything positive about a Lbra lol



Libras seem to get a lot of stick! Dont hate us cuz you aint us :p


This is by far THEE best post I've ever read yet. The most realest and truest shit that's dxpnet worthy. Finally come across something worth reading on this site. I just can't believe this post is 7 years old and I'm just seeing this. I'm not a libra but I think this can be related to all the air signs in general. And most particularly libra ascendants.
