Libra Risings: Exhausting yet Powerful
From learning more about the houses in astrology and discovering personal experiences from other people I know personally or celebrities lives, I have a strong belief that the rising sign being placed in Libra is maybe one of the most difficult rising signs to have, but it is also one of the most rewarding. Like always, my posts are my observations and beliefs so feel free to add what you think. Astrology is never an answer but a tool. Libra is the sister sign of Aries, so every house sign is opposite and the chart is flipped from the ideal pattern of the signs through the houses.Ā
Difficulties: Libra risings find themselves in an identity crisis on the daily wondering, is their kind nature a fake persona or a respectful attitude? The sign of balance is caught in a paradox when they canāt balance their own identity and view on the world. They want to please everyone and come off as a fair sociable person who sees the world through rose colored glasses, but this isnāt always the case. (Iāll get more into this with the 12th house which is governed by Virgo) The first house is set to create an identity and separate someone from the rest of the world but Libra in this house causes someone to continuously change who they are depending on their surroundings, never establishing an identity.Ā
Rewards: Libra risings are able to effortlessly come off as a pleasant person to almost anyone from any background. They are consistently able to stay polite and calm even in times theyāre faced with disrespect. Frequently adored and cherished by those around them due to the Libra risingās lovely nature. After years of learning who they are they will need to accept that their kindness should never be mistaken for being fake, itās who they are. With the right people, they will be able to discover not who they want to be but who they are supposed to be.
Difficulties: Finance and money is something that constantly worries the Libra risings, even if theyāre stable. Their fear is deeply hidden of becoming involved with the destructive system rooted by money. They notice the evil embedded in money and it causes sentimental strings to be pulled if anyone they love gets into trouble with financial problems. They are someone who is very secretive with their possessions and finds it hard to open up to others on what comforts them as well. They hide their desires causing other people to never understand how to comfort this sign, but the Scorpio 2nd house ruler just doesāt want to be taken advantage of.Ā
Rewards: They are able to create a deep connection with comfort out of the security of their secretiveness. Not opening up easily allows for their possessions to never be taken advantage of, but when they do open up to those they trust; they are able to share their comfort meanwhile embracing it with another soul. These people also learn to not become foolish with money and create a stable life after witnessing the horrific dangers it can potentially bring.Ā
Third house (Sagittarius):
Difficulties: Never ending thoughts that haunt their mind. So many curiosities and questions and daydreams that itās hard to communicate their thoughts or feelings, so they become a detached communicator. So many brilliant ideas and stories that brew in this mind only to be forgotten about because they cannot figure out how to properly communicate it all. Too many thoughts that become restless, always leading to problems with trying to relax. Leads to arguments with siblings with poor communication as a scatterbrain.Ā
Rewards: The curious and inventive mind is continuously daydreaming and it able to come up with amazing stories or ideas. Wonderful story tellers and when they work on their communication skills, theyāre the best people to talk to. Can make a conversation about anything with anyone and youāre always guaranteed a good laugh. They ask all the right questions and have the mind to break down problems if they learn patience and how to stick to one thing at a time. Adaptable minds.Ā
Fourth house (Capricorn):
Difficulties: The tender home life that is supposed to envelop one in a warm hug is ripped away from them and instead they are given a list of responsibilities. Their home life becomes a chore and a duty instead of a place to recharge and relax. Often troubles with family and feelings of a lost childhood. They lose out on many experiences of living freely as a child with loose restrictions.Ā
Rewards: If they donāt turn out wild as an adult, they can have such a successful life. They learn the importance of letting loose and never overwork themselves in the future but they also have responsibility already ingrained into their style of living. They have matured before their years and they have high opportunities of becoming successful faster by learning from others mistakes that they could never make as a child, so they have less restrictions when growing up and if they choose to leave their household.Ā
Difficulties: Every way they express them self always needs to feel original and ends up being self expression for others. They fail to realize that art and self expression should always be for yourself, and not others. Independence is strong and they always stray away from erratic relationships in fear of losing that independence. Could become lonely from their lack of creating small relationships with others and instead come off as detached and emotionless.Ā
Rewards: Their self expression is naturally eccentric and unique without trying, their sense of independence helps them gain what they need to understand that what they do should be for them. Their natural sense of altruism expressed helps heal others through their art along the way. With growth, they can create relationships that are meaningful but establish independence and loose bonds without consequences, like friendships.
Difficulties: What should be clear and organized is blinded by fantasies and blurred dreams. Health is a major confusion and can cause one to turn into a hypochondriac with poor understandings of their own body. Work life becomes a constant cycle of procrastination or indulgence in working. They move slow and hurt their own work style but have a hard time getting out of the cycle due to the confusion. They are given abilities to connect to others on a soul connection but they donāt know how to act on it in a professional manner.Ā
Rewards: They come up with new ways on how to work and take care of themselves that works for them. They can do the bare minimum and still receive healthy results. Confusion causes them to do extra research on how to improve their lifestyle even more than theyāre expected to. Pisces in the sixth creates bonds with animals and pets that others fail to create.They are humane and thoughtful with their work.
Difficulties: The house that is ideal for uniting yourself with other people and groups is frustrating when being ruled by Aries. Libra risings find themselves naturally wanting to do things on their own and create independently and on their own terms. Itās hard for them to want to balance relationships and agree easily when they act stubborn in partnerships and want it one way or another.Ā
Rewards: Their fiery energy fueled by passion can be used to get things done in a group and they are sure to always complete their part. They take action quickly and create relationships easily that are sure to have a deep meaningful affect on their life and their partner. In groupings they learn to be fair ,not just as a person but their aggressiveness is put to use to prevent mistreatment towards other people. They are not afraid to stand up for others and the ones they adore.Ā
Difficulties: TheĀ unknown, secrets, mysteries, mystical matter is not something enjoyed by the practicals of Taurus ruling the 8th house. Taurus finds comfort in the real world and nature as it is, they typically donāt need to seek for deeper ideas but the 8th house pushes you to notice the things that many disregard. There is conflicting annoyance between wanting to be satisfied with whats on earth and the practicability of that being tested with fantasy.Ā
Rewards: Sensuality is common for those with 8th house Taurus, they want to feel emotions deeply between people and the world. They are able to connect to nature and understand the raw deep meanings and symbols between objects in nature in a reliable way. Taurus in the 8th house can understand that even in practicability, there is always some magic involved that may be unseen, and theyāre content with that.Ā
Difficulties: What should be left as a mystery and should be cherished without facts in the 9th house is teared down by the Gemini ruler that seeks answers. There is beauty in the unknown and imagining what lies beyond our minds, but the Gemini ruler canāt appreciate that with the deep need for factual evidence that proves there is beauty and answers of life we canāt see. They canāt just learn about one culture or language without feeling like they need to continue learning more until they run out of opportunities, itās overwhelming.Ā
Rewards: Their mind works wonders if Gemini rules the 9th house, they are able to dream up their own answers and single-handily come up with answers never thought of before-something that could only make sense to them. They begin to appreciate the beauty of the way your own mind can justify the beauty in the unknown, creativeness is rich here. Soon enough they are skilled with multiple languages and information about many cultures that their mind only expands from there on.Ā
Difficulties: It becomes hard to set a sturdy ground and set of rules that doesnāt fail to include everyone and make sure everyone feels welcome. When the 10th house wants you to be assertive, the cancer energy wants you to put others needs before your own. The energy that should be used to establish yourself as a strong leader can be overshadowed by the emotions you put on display for society. Youāre open with your feelings in a field that wants you to hide them for a professional look.Ā
Rewards: Society is able to create deep emotional bonds with those with Cancer governing their 10th house. They show the side of themselves that others are afraid to expose, but society learns to appreciate that and in return support this person that makes society feel warm and safe. These people are generous to the world and spend their time comforting everyone in a selfless way.Ā
Difficulties: What should be unconventional and humane towards a group of people could come off as vain and selfish with Leo in the 11th house. The 11th house wants you to create a fair group and act as someone who is here to fight for others in the world. Leo wants to set a foundation that expresses themselves and highlights their own individual talents in a group. They end up feeling guilty and as if they are always attempting to steal the spotlight when they know they should be distributing it equally.Ā
Rewards: Their proud esteem in a group affects others in a way that causes friends to also want to be proud and confident. Leo in the eleventh house makes sure that their self love is spread to the ones they love, so they are always the ones showering their friends/family with beautiful compliments. They fight independently, but for a group. They put themselves first and at the same time teach others to follow their beneficial way to live life.Ā
Difficulties: The house of dreams, spirituality, and secrets has a subconscious way of feeling deep dissatisfaction and disappointment, uncontrollably. Virgo ruling the 12th house hits hard on the soul and points out every flaw they have until they are perfect, but perfect isnāt real. The intoxicating mix of pressuring unrealistic dreams and perfection between the 12 house and Virgo is dangerous and can cause one to always feel dissatisfied. Not only on themselves but they subconsciously critique others and judge almost everyone, and they feel guilty about it as their Libra rising whats to stay fair and open-minded.Ā
Rewards: Healing needs to be done in this house and Virgo is the perfect sign to do so. Understanding flaws and mistakes helps Libra risings grow through knowledge and understatement of the unreadable things other people overlook. With the persevering and perfectionist nature of Virgo, things will get done even if everything seems impossible. It all comes down to the Virgo energy tuning into their intuition and using their natural care taking skills to heal their soul and put their mind to ease.
