Sun in Libra, Moon in Scorpio

Two currents run through you side by side: a wish to keep harmony and a hidden urge to break it, a gift for diplomacy and a quiet independence from what others think. You have an innate elegance and a sense of style. Your taste is excellent, and you love everything refined. Beauty is the natural home of your creativity. Your character is complex. On one side, you seek partnership, dislike conflict and tense confrontation, and do your best to avoid them. On the other side, if your feelings are hurt, a fierce and uncompromising power can rise in you.

From time to time, seemingly out of nowhere, you feel a deep need to shake up or end a relationship that has settled into a pattern. Noticing this impulse and asking what it really wants can spare you and others a lot of pain. People who know you only on the surface have no idea of the passions at work in your soul, of how private you are, or of how long you can remember a wrong and how subtly you can answer it.

Decisions are hard for you. To decide means to choose the best of all possible options, and that is exactly what you find most difficult. You hesitate and weigh everything for a long time, until the question resolves itself or until someone else takes responsibility for it. Once you have decided, though, you act discreetly, with a very fine sense of people and of where they are sensitive. You have strong psychological insight and know how to influence those around you to reach your goals, and it serves you best when you use it openly and with care.

You like to rest in comfort, amid easy conversation, and you can talk with anyone about anything. You relax where no one will disturb you and you can attend to your private affairs. You prefer to keep your plans to yourself. The people close to you know how perceptive you are and how pointed your remarks can be. You feel very possessive about whatever you consider yours, whether it is a thing you are attached to or a person you love. Even in your care for others, a protective, possessive note can come through, and giving loved ones a little more freedom can make the bond stronger. At times you give off a sense of emotional weight and intensity. You feel anxious when you lose control of what is happening.

What you set out to do and what you need inside do not always pull in the same direction, and finding a way to honor both brings you inner peace.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a wish for partnership and conversation and a good sense of style, and it often draws him to a partner with emotional depth, passion and a will of iron.

In a woman's chart, it can make adapting to others harder and places great weight on her inner strength, and she is often drawn to a partner who is diplomatic, sociable, charming and in search of balance.
