Libra & Choices: The Struggle Is Real
Aliza Faragher
We've been singing Libra's praises this whole season, and with good reason. Libras are fair-minded, balanced, and look good af. But behind all that classiness and rational thought, Libras are also burden by indecision.
Libra fans everywhere: be warned, this is no joke. As pride and stubbornness are the tragic flaws of Leo and Taurus (respectively), uncertainty is truly the achilles heel of our Libra loves. When it comes to Libra and choices, the struggle is very real.
So what are the causes of this paralyzing infliction? Here are a few symptoms to watch out for.
CONSTANT URGE TO MAINTAIN BALANCE
Libras (The Scales) are obsessed with balance. This is not always a bad thing - we look to our air sign friends to help restore equilibrium. But when it comes to making decisions, Libras burning desire to balance is a major factor of their uncertainty.
OVER-ANALYZING SEVERAL GOOD OPTIONS
The justices of the zodiac, Libras have an innate ability to fairly consider all perspectives. But these air signs fall short when its time to use the gavel. Libras can be so transfixed by the array of options and outcomes, that they become totally incapable of making decisions.
SEVERE PEOPLE PLEASING
Lovely Libras are charming, friendly, and can adapt to many types of social situations. At the core of this air sign though, is a tiny scale afraid of being disliked. Libras seek approval from others, so these air signs would rather not compromise their reputation by making - what could potentially be - an unfavorable decision.
AVOIDING CONFRONTATION LIKE THE PLAGUE
Even with their closest friends, family, and lovers, Libras are not well equipped for confrontation. In the rare instance that Libra has actually made a decision, their fear of conflict will prevent them from speaking up, and they would ultimately rather go with the flow than ruffle any feathers.
"I DON'T KNOW, YOU DECIDE"
If you've watched our video that accurately showcases the experience of dating each sign, you know Libra's catch phrase: "I don't know... yes, no? You decide." At the core of every Libra is the insatiable urge to pass off the decision making responsibility. Libras look to others to make the hard choices, while these justice-minded air signs happily plead the fifth.
