I Am A Libran

I recieved an email this morning about star signs and how accurate their descriptions are, (it was one of those chain mail ones :P) this is what i got:

"LIBRA

The Harmonizer (Sept 23 - Oct 22)

Nice to everyone they meet. Can't make up their minds. Have own unique appeal. Creative, energetic, and very social. Hates to be alone. Peaceful, generous. Very loving and beautiful. Flirtatious. Give in too easily. Procrastinators. Very gullible."

So i thought to my self "ohh c'mon thats too broad". So.... now (yes right now) i am going to find out more.

First place, Wikipedia..

Physical traits

Many astrologers believe that each of the twelve signs has identifiable physical traits. Some of them consider that physically, individuals born under the sign of Libra supposedly tend to have a graceful figure, a charming appearance, refined features, a high forehead, and a 'trademark' dimple. They are often very good looking individuals and use their good looks well."

As i read this i think... "this is a little better, more descriptive and actually almost on the dot" So the search continues.

Fom a site that says Traditional Traits of librans

"Diplomaitic and urbane
Romantic and charming
Easygoing and sociable
Idealistic and peaceable
Indecisive and changeable
Gullible and easily infuenced
Flirtatious and self-indulgent"

AHA!! this one i think fits Most of all....

"The Bright Side
The Libran personality is one which is easy-going, charming and pleasant and for whom relationships are all-important. This sign above all simply cannot do without other people and so makes an excellent host or hostess.

Devious
What Libra wants, Libra gets in the end and all kinds of devious ploys may be used in the meantime. But a reluctance to dirty their hands gives Librans a steak of laziness which may mean a delay in getting their many plans off the ground.

Harmonizer
The basic Libran urge is towards finding balance and harmony with other people and they will often do this at the risk of losing sight of their own needs. A Libran can get caught up in' people-pleasing' but makes the ideal diplomat always prepared to negotiate a settlement between warning factions or to propose a peace treaty to squabbling partners.

The Dark Side
The famous indecisiveness of Librans means that they either sit on the fence and wait or swing widely from one point-of-view to another. So it is not most reliable of signs and is often accused of being two-faces. It is perhaps less well known that Libra is also a very self-centered sign which always insists on its own way.

Peaceful
Libra is also a sign which values peace - often at all costs and which is very fair-minded so that other people like being around Librans as they will always seek a compromise if an argument is threatened. However, those dealing with Librans should remember that things are not always what they seem because Librans can be so minded, charm the birds our of the trees! "

BAHAAHAHAHAHA!!!!! maybe the star signs are correct???

and finally with one last note this piece.

"Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus. In ancient Roman mythology, Venus was a smooth seductress who was at her best amid pleasurable excess. Well, Librans are certainly carrying the torch for her today. The Scales are cultured, refined and love beautiful things. Most of all, they love beautiful people, which is why Librans do so well at cocktail parties or at the theater, opera or ballet. Those born under this Sign always have the right thing to say and know how to make others feel comfortable. Suave? You bet. Librans are so adept at charming conversation that they need to be mindful of overstepping their boundaries and appearing vain or gossipy (the Scales do love intrigue). When these folks are on their game, however, they are a pleasure to be with. Librans are artistic, stylish and enjoy creating a beautiful world. The converse of this is that bored Librans can become apathetic and lazy -- but they'll smile anyway.

The Element associated with Libra is Air, and that means reaching higher, specifically to the higher mind. Librans like to put their mind to good use, and enjoy communicating their thoughts to others. They like to use their smarts (and talk) to get to know others better -- yes, knowledge about people is where it's at for Librans. You can expect the Scales to make a fair argument, too, since they live by the principles of diplomacy and compromise. When this approach doesn't work, however, Librans are not above using their persuasive charms to get their way. Manipulative? Nah, Librans really are too nice for that. Plus, any end-runs that these folks use are usually to build themselves up, since the Scales can be easily deterred. Librans are polite and don't like to fight, far preferring to talk things through. Remember, these folks know how to communicate (they're Air) so they're bound to make their point. Librans don't get in a huff when faced with an opposing viewpoint. Rather, they take a deep breath and consider all the options in the spirit of cooperation. "
