Horoscopes are eerie.
The other day Jeff told me that there were different types of Libras and that I was a Libra one. And then he sent me this:
Libra 1’s have perfectionist tendencies, which may infuse every area of their lives with a desire to find out what’s wrong and try to fix it. This theme of putting things right reflects their knowledge and technical know how, and also their conviction that they know what’s best for those around them.
In their drive for perfection, Libra 1’s are prone to apply their often mercilessly high standards equally to themselves and those around them. At the heart their perfectionism may well lie a voice from their childhood constantly telling them that they aren’t good enough. Their critical attitude can certainly run out of hand, and this can make them extremely difficult to live with. In areas of their daily live, from the work place to the kitchen to the bed room, Libra 1’s may have checklists that they apply exactingly, leaving little room for failure or neglect on the part of the other person.
Insecurity drives those born in this week to be over achievers. They are extremely thorough in carrying out their plans, and in bring their activities to a successful conclusion. Thus, while they are often seen as highly successful, those around them do not always appreciate how unsettled their inner life actually is. Their inflexibility in laying down rules for themselves, and their refusal to compromise their ideals, puts them under tremendous pressure, which may drive them equally to success or to despair.
Libra 1’s are usually intense personalities, capable of great achievements. Yet they can be torn by indecision, even spending years trying to make up their minds what course to follow. At times they may put so much time and exertion into a non-productive effort, perhaps a hobby or a relationship, that they leave themselves little time or energy for more positive endeavors. Highly challenged by problems, they may find it difficult to give up, fail or even admit that they have been wasting their time.
Libra 1’s are usually quiet emotionally complex. They often give an impression coolness that masks a maelstrom of inner emotions. They have tendency not only to get bottle up inside but to resist the attempts of others to help them out. Mastery of their feelings is usually a high priority for them, the danger being that their conscious self-control may over time become unconscious repression, a difficult state to rectify. The challenge to penetrating the emotional core of these fascinating and challenging individuals may keep their intimates busy for a lifetime.
It’s so eerie when something or someone foreign to you can describe you so accurately. But it’s somewhat comforting to think that attributes you thought were your “issues” are just your nature. And you don’t have to “fix” them, you just have to work with them.
Maybe the guy who said “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” was on to something.
