The Week of Society
Picked up a book from B&N that other day about relationships. It's called The Secret Language of Relationships. Rather good might I add...
The book places birthdays in seperate categories by weeks, so that there are 48 periods. Each week being ruler of something different in particular. For enstence, I am in The Week of Society. And generally since a Libra is ruled by the scales of fairness, I seek for rights and equality in the society and the world.
So basically it says that my modes are in Thought and Sensation. Which I guess means that I'm more inwordly with what I perciceve or the results of what comes out of me. It says my Strengths are that I'm "up-to-date" in ideas, "fair", and "insightful". My weaknesses are that I'm "Complacent", which means 'self-satisfied and unconcerned' about whatever, I'm also "Severe" in my criticism and "self-deceiving". Hmm, I guess I need someone to keep me on track, eh?
Libra II - The Week of Society:
The Libra II period takes Society as its central image. In human terms, this period can be compared to a time in one's middle life when a more meaningful relationship with Society, or an increase in time given to social entitles (political causes, clubs, religious organizations, study groups, neighborhood or community associations, etc.) often takes place. [this must be why I'm such a fan of the sixties civil rights and peace movments!] During this period, deepening one's social ties can be central to life, not only with the institutions mentioned, but also with lifelong friends and family members.
The days that comprise Libra II symbolically reveal certain aspects of middle age: taking the lead in defining social mores, making difficult judgments, acquiring objective wisdom about human psychology and learning to husband one's physical and financial resources.
The paradox about the born in this week is that although their social skills are highly developed, they may really be loners in nature. Their knowledge of current events, fashions, and matters concerning lifestyles is impressive, and family and freinds usually consult them as to the choice of materials or methods to get the job done in the most tasteful way possible. [guess that answers my question on why art and design are my strongpoints!] Constantly in demand, Libra II's often have difficulty finding time for themselves, and at some point must learn how to limit the time and energy they are prepared to give. [No wonder I love my alone time so much!]
Generally well liked as people, Libra II's are also highly saught after as confidants and councelors. They inspire trust in those who are meeting them for the first time. Their non-threatening approach makes other people quickly feel that they have nothing to fear from Libra II's, to whom they can open their hearts and unburden themselves. Indeed Libra II's rarely hurtfully or maliciously toward those who confide in them. Those who seek them out feel safe with them.
Although fair, just and agreeable in most situations, Libra II's can also be extremely sharp and critical. Because their insights are so often right on, their barbs can sting. Associates and employers who listen to them can probably learn something, but the fury of a Libra II attack often arouses too much negative emotions in the assaulted party to allow for clear listening. Only later will the truth of their criticisms begin to sink in.
Libra II children can be demanding of their parents, amd Libra II parents can be strict with their children. When young, those born in this week may be extremely rebellious or at the very least troublesome to those in authority. Libra II's are guided by a sense of fairness but also by an extreme antipathy to stupid, harmful, and needless regulations and laws. [Couldn't have said it better mayself] Too often young Libra II's may see the harm or waste being caused by a social or parental attitide yet feel helpless to do much about it. As they grow up, they may become crusades or reformers, but they can just as easily turn into quiet observers who watch and listen but only offer their opinion and judgments when asked to do so.
Emotional instability may be the single biggest problem that Libra II's face.[Dont I know it!!!] It can undermine their relationships, making them prone to jealously, irritation, possessiveness and all sorts of negative emotions that they could really do without. [Hmmmm....Could that be the reason I get so angry sometimes for things that I really have no control over???] Physical problems and even lifelong disabilities can result. [True that!] Involvment in some form of spiritual, religious, or physical training is often essential to Libra II's, to provide the stability and grounding that those born in this week require if they are to keep on an even keel. [And then there's that less time for myself thing...]
There is often a glaring discrepency between what Libra II's think they want and what they truely need. Those born in this week may blunt their own desires by not taking them seriously. This, through their own instances that they don't need something, they can stunt the development of their will. Any resulting confusion, unhappiness, or despair may serve them well, if they can take advantage of it. Through depression, they can get in touch with themselves at a deep level and, stripped of externals, will find out what their deepest needs really are.
An ever-present danger for these imaginative individuals is that they will come to live too much in a fantasy world in which all things are possible. Through complacency, and narcissistic enjoyment, [why does it have to be narcissistic?!] they can fail to take action. This lack of aggression may affect their profesisonal life. Worldly ambition can be very healthy for Libra II's, since it can spur them on to be more assertive, and to demand from the world what they really want. The problems here are that they are not always sure what their true wishes are, and they are too often satisfied with what they have and indecisive in charting out a realistic course of action.
Libra II's are highly valued by their friends, not least for their light and fun-loving manner. They are often good conversationalists, and even the most shy Libra II blossoms in activities invloving a small group of companions, such as parties, dinners or outings. Those born in this week are highly responsible in such roundings, and may be depended upon to make a contribution. Yet as aware and realistic as they are about other people, to the same or a greater degree they can be unrealistic about themselves. It may be an unfortunate trait of Libra II's to pull the wool over their oen eyes. [It's because I'm afraid!] Such as self-deception can lead to disasterous choices of partner, and also to professional blunders. Simply put: without a clear view of themselves, Libra II's can not make cogent personal choices, and are constantly landing themselves in trouble. Fortunately they are highly resiliant. Still they must not take their ability to snap back from injury or defeat for granted, or rely on it unduly.
During rock periods in their relationships, Libra II's tend to be more hurtful toward themselves than to the other person. [It's because I don't like to hurt people...] This is a sign of less masochistic tendencies than of low self-esteem, and of a habit of putting the needs and wants of a lover or friend before their own. [Too bad they never see that!] Their difficulty in expressing anger and agression leads them to blame themselves when things go wrong. [Very True!] They may consequently sink into a quiet depression, tumbling into a well of lonliness from which it may be extremely difficult for them to climb out. [Well, it's the safest and quietest way to go...]
And that's all about it for me...
