Section 1: How You Approach Life and How You Appear To Others
Libra Rising:
You are a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair,
always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and ready to see
the other side of an issue. Even if you strongly disagree with
someone, you will try to find points of similarity and agreement
rather than emphasizing the differences. You often avoid taking
an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. You have a strong
desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and express a
spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. You
very much want to be liked and because of your need for approval
and acceptance, you are easily influenced by others' opinions,
especially when young. You so much want to please that often you
will suppress your own intense or unpleasant feelings in order
not to offend others. Sometimes your politeness is interpreted
as phoniness or wishy-washiness.
Your need to create harmony extends to your physical
environment and personal appearance as well. You appreciate
beauty and have a natural sense of balance, symmetry, and
proportion. You do everything in good taste, with a sense of
style and art. From your home furnishings to your choice of
clothing, everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply
functional or utilitarian.
You also feel that relationships are an art, one that
especially interests you and one that you are usually quite
skilled at, for you possess tact and acute awareness of other
people. Marriage is very significant to you and finding the
right person to share your life with is extremely important.
Being part of a close couple seems natural to you - you are not
an independent loner. Having a partner increases your
self-confidence. You do have a tendency, however, to become
overly dependent on your partner and perhaps not to develop a
clearly defined identity outside of the relationship. Finding
the balance between being yourself and blending and uniting with
another is a challenge for you.
Others see you as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and
"nice" person. Though there may be much more to you, this is the
sort of face you show to the world. You possess personal charm
and an understated, noncombative manner. Your motto could be
"you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" for you
usually take a friendly, cooperative approach rather than a
strong, forceful, I'm-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.
Section 2: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
Sun in Leo:
Proud and intensely individual, you really want to stand
out, to be the very best you can be, and to be recognized and
appreciated for your unique contributions. Doing something well
and being respected for it is extremely important to you, and
you cannot tolerate being in the background, taking orders from
others, or being "just one of the team". You must put your
personal stamp on whatever you do, and direct your own course in
life. You need to have a place where you can shine, express
yourself creatively, and be the one in charge.
You have big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality,
and enthusiasm to bring them into being. You also have a noble,
romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and
extravagant.
For you it is true that "all the world's a stage" and you
secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desire to be the Star or
Hero in the play. You want to be great, and to receive the love
and applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is
just one other special person. You need someone to believe in
you and your dreams. Though you appear radiantly self-confident
and independent, you are actually very much dependent on the
affirmation, love, and recognition of others. You cannot bear
being unnoticed or unappreciated.
You also love wholeheartedly and generously and really know
how to make the person you love feel special. You love the magic
of "being in love" and know how to keep the romance alive in
your relationships. You are also immensely loyal and will defend
your loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they
never offend your pride or betray your trust. However, you like
to be the strong one in a relationship and you really do not
share the leading role very easily. Ideally you need to find a
person who is as strong-willed as yourself, but who will not try
to dominate or compete with you.
Your strengths are your zest and love for life, your
creative power, and your warm and generous heart. Your primary
fault is your tendency to be very egocentric, so concerned with
the impression you are making and with your own creative
self-expression that you forget there is another, larger world
that does not revolve around you.
Section 3: Mental Interests and Abilities
Mercury in Leo:
You are a person of strong opinions and you express your
views energetically and often dramatically. You are an
entertaining speaker and will embellish or exaggerate in order
to get your point across. You have an aptitude for story-telling
and performing. Even if your arena is only the classroom or
dining room table, you put on a good show. You have an abundance
of creative ideas and do not enjoy a job in which you have no
creative input or voice in decision-making. You could be a good
politician, spokesperson, group leader, director, or coach.
Section 4: Emotions: Moods, Feelings, Romance
Moon in Pisces:
Tenderhearted and sympathetic to an unusual degree, you have
an understanding of other people's feelings and needs which borders on being
telepathic. You are extremely compassionate and cannot bear to see any fellow
creature - be it human or animal -suffer. Because of your kindness and noonjudgmental
attitude, people in pain or confusion are drawn to you for help, which you readily
give. Sometimes your softheartedness is taken advantage of.
You are a gentle, poetic soul and have a great love and affinity
for music. Because many of your feelings are nebulous and vague and you cannot
easily verbalize how you experience life, music seems a natural language for
you. You are also tremendously romantic and are often "in love with love".
