Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole astrology thing, and my chart says I’m an Aries Sun with a Libra Rising. At first, I was like, “Huh?” But the more I looked into it, the more I started to see how these energies play out in my life.
So, the Aries Sun part? That’s supposed to be all about being bold, direct, and kinda impulsive. And yeah, I definitely have that side to me. I’m not afraid to jump into things headfirst, sometimes without really thinking them through. Like that time I decided to start a vegetable garden with zero experience. Let’s just say it was a learning experience!
I started looking at all sorts of websites and reading everything, from the best soil and fertilizer to the best time and tools.I bought several books, all of which were recommended by netizens.
But then there’s the Libra Rising. This is supposed to be the peacemaker, the diplomat, the one who wants everything to be balanced and harmonious. It’s like this constant internal tug-of-war. One minute, I’m all fired up and ready to charge ahead, and the next, I’m hesitating, trying to make sure everyone’s happy and that I’m not stepping on any toes.
I spent a good few days just observing myself. I noticed how I’d get super enthusiastic about a project, then immediately start second-guessing myself, worrying about whether it was the “right” thing to do or if it would upset someone.
For example, the other day, I was going to learn dance at a place some distance away, but I was worried that my boyfriend would have to pick me up after class every time, which would waste his time, so I ended up not going to that place and found a dance studio closer to home.
It’s like my Aries side wants to go, go, go, while my Libra side is pumping the brakes, saying, “Hold on, let’s consider all the angles here.”
So, what have I actually done with this information? Well, it’s mostly been about self-awareness. I’m trying to be more mindful of these two sides of myself. When I feel that impulsive Aries energy, I try to take a breath and remember the Libra need for balance. And when I’m getting caught up in Libra overthinking, I try to tap into that Aries courage and just make a decision.
- write down the pros and cons of my ideas.
- set a timer for my self.
- talking things over with a trusted friend.
It’s a work in progress, for sure. But I feel like I’m starting to understand myself a little better, and that’s pretty cool.
