The Libran Writer

    According to most astrologers, Libras like myself, are artistic, diplomatic, and gracious. We tend to do well under pressure, and seek to overcome obstacle. Now about being social, I'm not sure about that one. I prefer to keep to myself in most cases, although when there is conversation going on at work, I don't like being left out either. One of the weaknesses stated is that we tend to avoid confrontations. I don't really find that to be that much of a weakness. There's nothing wrong with seeking a peaceful resolution to a conflict. I prefer peace over antagonism. 

    As to carrying a grudge, I don't see the point in doing so. That just means holding onto anger or resentment over an event that has long since passed. Not a very healthy lifestyle choice if you ask me. I have learned to let go of negative feelings and move onto to more positive ones. Like with the death of my mother, I mourned, and then I used her unexpected departure to inspire my future. I decided to take writing more seriously and try to make a career out of it instead of it remaining one of my hobbies. I also decided to re-evaluate those around, and found that I saw someone at work in entirely different light as before. Feelings that I must have kept at bay on a subconscious level, came out. Which to say the least, has left me with a conflicted heart. I am still trying to resolve it.

    Anyways, whether or not you want to take astrology seriously or not, that's up to you, and like I said, its a subject that interests me, but doesn't rule my life or decisions. It's just fun to see what the universe thinks it has in store for me.
