Astrology for Lovers

Aquarius is not overly gifted in any of these three things. He is usually impatient, and wants to see the ideal made flesh right this minute. He is not very flexible, although a great lover of truth. And he has very little understanding of, or patience with, the seamier side of human nature

Librans aren't always comfortable with their bodies, and often feel unattractive or ugly because some little thing isn't just exactly right

Many Librans have a very hard time of it with their own sex, because they so often have deep sympathy for the opposite. It's something I've heard over and over from Libran friends and clients: rather than the typical ‘stay in your own camp’ attitude which so many men and women take with their own sex, they cross camps and overtly sympathize with the other point of view

They're also prone to agreeing with your side of the argument when they take their place as mediators – ‘Yes, I agree with you completely, he's perfectly dreadful’ – and then turning around and doing the same thing to your opponent – ‘Yes, I agree with you, she's behaving horridly

Librans have been known to smile sweetly and pay you an endearing compliment when they actually hate the ground you walk on

. But Libra believes in unicorns too, and may often be seen moving from one relationship to another, one job to another, one country to another, believing and believing and believing that one day, some day, he'll find that perfect companion, that perfect career, that perfect environment where no ugliness or coarseness or human tragedy intrudes
