Scorpio: The Personal Planets in Libra

Libra Overview

Libra is a cardinal air sign and is ruled by Venus, the planet of love. Astrologically speaking, Libras are known to be masters of relationships due to their harmonious and peaceful nature. The cardinal modality of Libra creates a sense of urgency because they are committed to balance and harmony. This tends to give them the energy needed to initiate action. The air element of Libra gives them an unwavering commitment to their ideals because they are firmly rooted in thought and reason. They are dedicated to having an equal partnership with people all around the world.

Libra reflects beauty, balance, harmony, and peace; as such, a pair of scales signifies the balance and equal distribution between two forces. Libra energy is idealistic and can be perceived by others as passive. However, what others perceive as passive, is the same stuff that makes them known to be good listeners. The desire for peace, beauty, justice, and equality manifests through an innate sensitivity towards the environment. Libra utilizes its creative imagination to achieve these goals of harmony within society.

Scorpios with Libra Moon value relationships and share their emotions honestly with those they love. They have a passion for developing personal relationships and exercise this passion freely by being a good listener to friends and family.

These Scorpios often take charge of social events by organizing get-togethers, dates, and social gatherings. They are born with an innate ability to get along with anyone.

These Scorpios have a strong need for order and freedom, but this often puts them in conflict with themselves and the people around them. The water and air elements cause internal confusion within these Scorpios. The mind is filled with conflicting thoughts that cause them to act impulsively without thinking beforehand, which can bring unnecessary chaos into their lives and hurt feelings from those affected by their actions.

Scorpios Sun/ Libra Rising

One's first impression of a Scorpio with Libra Rising might be that they are energetic and the life of the party, but that impression often changes as one becomes very familiar with them. These Scorpios tend to have false confidence in their charm and charisma. They are afraid to express their true nature because they doubt people will accept them for who they truly are. The Scorpio with Libra Rising has a "what you see is what you get" characteristic, but they are afraid to be themselves, so they hide behind this upfront and simple facade. They often have deep insecurities that they don't want others to know about, manifesting as manipulative behavior.

When Scorpio develops the higher aspects of Libra Rising, they learn to use their charm and charisma to influence others. They develop an honest persona that is not afraid to show their true nature because they are confident in who they are.

This increased compassion will make an individual less likely to dehumanize people they consider "the enemy."
