Me, Defined

I read this and I felt like it was written for me personally. It's pretty amazing considering it's written for all Libras. Good and bad...it's all me.

Libra
Libra is the seventh Sign of the Zodiac. The first six Signs represent personal development, while the second six represent man's turning outward to other people. Libra is the first Sign in this half of the Zodiac, and thus it's the first Sign of reaching out to others -- they strive to create balance and harmony between self and other. It represents marriage and partnership, the most basic ways for people to come together. As the seventh Sign, Libra also rules the seventh House: the House of Partnership.

The Sign In Depth
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 and become fickle and indecisive. Sometimes they are so eager to avoid conflict that they give in to avoid argument, even when they know they are right, and this may make them seem insincere.

I do this all the time! I give in to aviod conflict!

Diplomatic and cooperative, they are skilled at initiating group projects. In this way, Libra exemplifies the Cardinal Quality assigned to it. When Librans set goals for themselves, they are determined to succeed.
 
And often are never pleased with their work.......
 
Within the Zodiac, Libra is opposite Aries, the Sign of Self, so Libras tend to be about other people rather than personal development.
 
Believe it or not, I always put others before me.  Personal development seems to come last with me.
 
They tend to be socially inclined and charming, but they may have a need to be liked that makes them too compliant to others' wishes.  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. 
  
Pretty things.....if I were rich, I'd have such a pretty house.
 
On the negative side, her appreciation for sweets and luxury could result in overindulgence, and she could be materialistic. Venus rules both Libra and Taurus. Libra is the masculine, or day, aspect of Venus; Taurus is the feminine, or night. Both Signs have a great appreciation for beauty, but while Taurus appreciates the beauty of things, Libra is more interested in the beauty of other people.

I can find beauty in just about anybody. Even people I really don't like.

Librans are happiest when they're in a relationship. They are seductive and attractive, and their cultural awareness and talkative nature make them help them shine in the social situations they so enjoy.  Because of their social nature, they can be vain or overly dependent on others' approval.
 
It's true, I look for approval from people.  I wish I could please my parents, but I'm never sure if they are proud of me or think I'm an idiot.  It's nice to be liked, but I usually feel like an outsider craving social acceptence.
 
Many people born under Libra have strong artistic tendencies and a refined sense of style, but they can also become lazy and apathetic if bored. They are usually controlled and rational, but at times they may be self-indulgent.

Soooo true!

The Element associated with Libra is Air. Air Signs are intellectual: they tend to respond to the world through intellect, rather than physical action, practicality, or emotion. Libra's intellectual orientation to the world around them makes them skilled at communication and abstract reasoning, and their intelligence combines with their interest in other people to become an intellectual exploration of the people around them.
 
This is complex way of saying I try to understand people.  What gives this validation is, people tell me their problems and secrets.  I try to understand the best I can.
 
Because their efforts are mentally rather than emotionally motivated, Librans tend to be very judicial; they are good at diplomacy and compromise. Because they are generally reluctant to face confrontation, people born under Libra learn to be persuasive, courteous, and adaptable. But this may also make them seem cold and unemotional or manipulative.

This line above is spot on. I come across cold. People seem to think I'm mad and it drives me crazy!!  But once they know I'm not a cold hard bitch, they're tellin' me their secrets. 

They are team workers, skilled at cooperative action, but they can also be self-doubting. Open minded and always polite, they have a strong sense of loyalty because of their ability to put themselves into other people's shoes.

Librans love to debate but not to quarrel; a fine distinction that is nonetheless very important to people born under this Sign. They are kind and considerate, and they rarely display anger.

I do get mad, but it's true that people rarely see me blow my top. However, if you rip my fence down again - pray...pray very hard. My rare display of anger is about to kick you in the balls. It's a long story if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Instead they may employ subtle means of getting even when their strong sense of fairness and legality or refined sensitivities are violated.

It's called karma, folks. I'll take comfort in knowing that if you do me wrong, karma will catch up with you....and it bites hard.

In their leisure time, Librans tend to have less energy that other Signs, and they have a definite lazy streak, preferring to read and go out with friends. Exercise generally appeals to them only if it allows socializing at the same time, but some have a particular affinity for activities that let them get out in nature, such as hiking and horseback riding. In love relationships, Libra is playful and romantic.

I'm soooo lazy! Napping is one of my favorite things.  And romantic....I'm all about romance....and naps.

Libra rules the kidneys and lower back. People born under Libra may be more susceptible to back pain or strain than people of other Signs. Libra's colors are ivory, pink, and light blue; these three colors are harmonious in all their combinations, and they all appear in the sunset sky that Libra represents.
 
Wow, "the sunset sky that Libra represents".  That's such a pretty image!

The great strength of the Libra-born is in their drive for peace and harmony. Their ability to obtain balance and cooperation from a disparate group is unparalleled. Their skill at seeing all sides of a situation makes them one of the most just characters of the Zodiac.

Harmony. Don't you just love the sound of that word?! ;-)
