Libra Sun, Pisces Moon
A while ago my friends and I were having a conversation about Sun/Moon signs and the Houses and planets of astrology. I’m a Libra Sun and Pisces Moon (I have 5 Libras in my chart, including Rising – surprise surprise). Now, I am not an expert on the particulars of this combination, but from experience, I could say that Libra gives me a great ability to deal with people and life, and Pisces is in the perfect position to tap into my inner spiritual side. Water signs tend to be more in tune to their spiritual sides and Wind Sun + Water Moon is perfect for anyone interested in the mystical arts. You’re born with it. That’s the positive side.However, this particular pairing has a problem – Libra, the scales, is always going in and out of balance. Pisces, with the two fish, like to move in different directions. Worse – they’re completely different signs. One shines outward and one delves inward. With the increasing influence of my Rising, however, the Pisces Moon is exerting much less influence now than when I was young (I used to be REALLY double-sided when I was much younger, going from extreme highs to extreme lows, and I never really understood it then). A classmate (and fellow mystic art enthusiast) jokingly said that all I need is a Gemini (the twins with split personalities) to complete the picture of duality. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Gemini in my Planets or Houses.[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="360" caption="Duality."][/caption]Having so much duality presents me with the problem of going back and forth on everything. The fortunate thing is that I have found ways to overcome my own downfalls after I became cognisant of them. However, another issue is that it seems Libra Sun + Pisces Moon makes you absolutely oblivious to displays of interest. This is interesting for all of those with this pairing. You have an uncanny ability to understand and empathize with others, but somehow are incredibly dense when it comes to your own feelings. I’ve given it some thought due to hard lessons learned in the past, and have come to the conclusion that perhaps because Libras are naturally outgoing (some say it’s the most flirty of signs, though I disagree, because I don’t consider being friendly and true to one’s Libra self “flirty” – this is such a troublesome social construction) so they attract tons attention and affection (or raised eyebrows on occasion). Normally Libras would be gleefully soaking in the attention and interest, but since Pisces is not used to all the attention and doesn’t really like it, whenever it detects (it *is* the most sensitive of signs) anything, it immediately shrinks inward and hides its true emotions, putting up a screen of obliviousness between the individual’s emotions and conscious thoughts.I think the way to overcome it is to be more aware of your surroundings and be able to accept them for what they truly are. I’m still learning that (attempts do not mean success, but at least it's a honest attempt) It’s not so much that I’m concerned about the relationship aspect of it (though it’s rather funny to find out years later about crushes people had on you) as that I need to know my own feelings before I can make a sensible decision.So Libras, remember you do have weaknesses (this “duality” in particular) but if you overcome them, you will be nearly invincible! (I say nearly because you still have a weakness for food, among other things… lol)

Divination Expo: 8 Word vs. Astrology vs. Tarot
I have a group of beautiful and talented ladies with whom I gather with to discuss the mystical arts. One of us studies Fungshui and 8 Word (a type of Chinese divination, in the same lineage as palm/face reading), another is an astrology expert, then there’s me, who is a student of Tarot.
I like to organize them as follows:8 Word: These “eight words” are formed from two words that represent the year you were born (ancestors), two that represent the month (parents), two that represent the day (self), and two that represent the hour (children/offspring). Tells the entire life of the querent, from the starting point of life to the end of life, including influence of parents/ancestors, children, marriage, jobs, etc. You can also match up 8 words (birthdays) to find out whether or not you’re a good match with someone. This is very useful for a long term overall view of your life, if you want that (many people don’t because it represents that loss of free will to them). I have also done 8 word (I would only allow someone I really trust with this because your birthday itself has immense power, just as many ancient peoples believe ones name holds special powers, enough to control that person). My results were quite interesting and were very much in synch with the current path I am heading down. The most poignant thing and the very first thing she mentioned was that I am a “teacher,” which I never though of as part of myself, but am now realizing more and more as part of what I want to become (or am already are/am becoming).[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="101" caption="Balancing*"][/caption]Astrology: We often use this as a way for the stars to determine ones personal inclinations and predispositions for certain things. It's a much deeper mystical art than that of course. It’s excellent for exploration of ones personality and background and the reasons behind why one would act as one does. As you can tell, I totally buy into the Libra bit. Astrology gives amusing and eye-opening views into ones psyche and allows one to take note of the factors that influence his/her actions. This is also great for matching up people. Trust me, contradictory horoscopes have a really rough time with the relationship. Of course, that doesn't mean it's a destined failure. As long as you know what the issues are and are willing to deal with them, most things can be worked out.Tarot: As a tarot reader, I’m rather biased toward Tarot. I like it because it is NOT permanent, because at the same time that it represents the manifestation of a “destiny,” it also allows room for the “free will.” I usually use it to figure out a situation that I can’t sort out and do the same for my friends (I've rarely done public readings for strangers because it takes too much energy). On the personal level, I more often than using it as less of a divination tool, but rather a mirror of my inner self – what I truly want, what I'm truly thinking, how I truly want things to be. And most of the time, it yields amazing (and sometimes honest to the point of hurting) results. Of course, it can be used a tool of divination, but why limit it to that? The wonderful thing is to figure out what the current trend is, and make any changes for the better if necessary.I have recently done some readings for myself and others. I’ve found that the more I allow my emotions and spirit to roam free, the most accurate these readings become, to a degree that sometimes scares even me. However, the most important thing to remember is that Tarot is most powerful in its role as a guide, not as a director. You are the ruler of your own life, regardless of whether or not there is a “destiny” for each of us. If we do not apply ourselves to our destiny, it might as well be non-existent. And if you do everything as according to your heart, then you will find that your destiny is always walking right next to you.*Courtesy Jay | Su Photography.

十二星座終極分析--天秤座終極完美分析
Recently my friend Selina sent me a link to a site with horoscope analysis and I found the description of Libras amazing accurate. A lot of people deny the relevancy of horoscopes, but I believe that anything that has lasted through the thousands of years of history must have some validity to it. Here is what they wrote about Libras. If you follow the link to the source post in Libras, you'll also find analysis on the other horoscopes as well. You know best if they're accurate or not.
That said, I still have to say, Libras sometimes do enjoy company, because other people tend to bring surprises to their lives because that keeps life interesting:[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="320" caption="The "C"*"][/caption]
Source: http://blog.udn.com/m208025/2163560優雅的天秤在燈紅酒綠中微笑轉身，顧盼神采，灑脫如同水中的魚。他們與紅酒，水晶杯，晚禮服，鋼琴曲是那麼的相得益彰，漫不經意的吸引著公眾的眼光……
幾乎所有人都有這樣一種印象：
天秤座的人善意、可親，愛交朋友。於是大家也由此認為天秤是群居生物，必然是害怕獨處，喜歡熱鬧的。但，事實並不是表面看來那樣簡單。
的確，天秤是個和平使者。在公眾場合可以很好地調節氣氛使之均衡。氣氛熱烈時，他們會沉靜的壓住陣腳；氣氛冷凝時，他們會運用不著痕跡的輕鬆幽默化解堅冰。總之他們不會隨波逐流去助長氣氛的冷熱，而是像用天秤稱量物品一樣，加減砝碼，使之維持水平狀態。 而他們在做這種加減的時候，動作是優雅的，態度是和悅的，看起來漫不經心不動聲色。實際上，他們是很有心計的人，儘管眾口難調，也可以找到一種萬全的方式來使全局和諧起來。
但是這並不是說他們喜歡主宰，只是因為他們看不得失衡，那會使他們如坐針氈。
因此，儘管慵懶的天秤座討厭麻煩，討厭得要命，他們還是會不由自主地擔負起調節的責任。也許正因如此，使得天平在公眾場合從未放鬆過自己。性格使他們承擔了不必要的責任，無可推卸。 他們不吝惜金錢，卻吝惜自由的時間和安靜的休閒時光。像所有風向星座一樣，他們喜歡自由，喜歡像風一樣誰也捉不住他。
他們喜歡自在獨立的空間。就算你是他最好的朋友，也不要老和他粘在一起，你要知道他並不喜歡如此，儘管他不會直接說出來。你也得相信，你的天秤座朋友也許半年也沒有音信，但是只要一見面，你還是他最好的朋友。因為他就是這種交友方式，你拿他怎麼辦？ "我懶得……"
這是天秤座的口頭語。他們懶得出門，懶得聚會，懶得應酬……所以他們並不是很喜歡參加party。倒是寧願呆在家裡上網，看書，畫畫。他們自身是均衡的，一個人的均衡總比一群人的均衡來的容易。所以他們喜歡獨處。 通常，天秤座的人會給人一見如故的感覺，因為他們有著溫婉的微笑和優雅的舉止。對初次見面的人，天秤座往往表現出自己最討人喜歡的一面：善解人意，大方，誠懇，健談。但是這種熱情勁兒不會長久。冷漠何時到來取決於你與他交往的頻率。你越是粘得緊，他就冷得越快。因為他們喜歡"君子之交清淡如水"。不是他們不喜歡同伴，而是他們和人交往更多地關注了對方的情緒，總想著照顧對方心情，不要發生衝突，所以感覺像是在工作一樣，無法真正的放鬆。 較之對宮白羊座，天秤是另一種獨立的個體。白羊是一種外在的獨立，內心是熱的；天秤則是表面看似親和力很強，內心卻是任誰也無法融入的。天秤的冷靜，連他們自己也覺得驚訝。"我居然如此冷漠！太不可思議了……"他們審視自己的時候，感覺有點陌生。那是因為他們把內心世界掩飾得連自己都騙過了。
他們控制情緒的能力太強了。最親近的人會感覺到，天平給人不露聲色的隔離感，有時會被埋怨"太冷靜了，我都不知道你在想什麼！"
可是他們不是故意要隱瞞什麼，只是出於本能。一個連自己都騙過了的人，你還能要求他對你坦白什麼？ 他們不喜歡歇斯底里，不喜歡痛哭失聲，不喜歡安慰別人也不怎麼喜歡被安慰。因為他們懂得，誰也無法真正理解另一個人。 天秤，其實是很獨立的一個星座。他們在霓虹燈影裡微笑，在燈火闌珊處寂寞。他們叫你懂得：孤獨的最高境界是繁華。*See 5/15 HK recap for explanation
