Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, trying to figure out my whole cosmic blueprint, you know? I’m a Scorpio, which I always felt, like, intensely. But then I found out my rising sign is Libra, and things got interesting. So I figured, why not put this whole Scorpio-with-Libra-rising thing to the test and see how it plays out in real life? Here’s what I did:
First Step: The Deep Dive
First, I really wanted to get my head around what this combo even means. I read up on Scorpio, obviously – passionate, secretive, a little bit obsessive (guilty!). Then, I looked into Libra rising. It’s all about charm, diplomacy, and wanting to keep the peace. Totally different vibes, right? It’s like, my inner self is this intense mystery, but I present as someone super chill and friendly.
The Experiment: Social Butterfly vs. Lone Wolf
So, I decided to play with these energies. One weekend, I went to a big party. This is where I consciously tried to channel my Libra rising. I made an effort to:
- Flit around: Instead of finding a corner and sticking with my usual two friends, I moved from group to group.
- Small talk it up: I chatted with people I didn’t know, asked tons of questions, and actually listened (that Libra diplomacy, baby!).
- Smile a lot: Even when I was feeling my inner Scorpio wanting to brood, I kept the smile going.
Honestly, it was kind of exhausting! But people responded. I got into some really interesting conversations, and everyone seemed to think I was super approachable. Mission accomplished, Libra rising!
The Other Side: Scorpio Time
But, you can’t ignore the Scorpio core, right? So the next weekend, I gave myself full permission to be my intense self. This looked like:
- Deep-dive project: I spent the entire Saturday researching a super niche topic I’m obsessed with. Didn’t talk to anyone, just pure, focused Scorpio energy.
- Intense workout: Hit the gym and pushed myself hard. Scorpio loves a challenge, and I definitely felt that.
- Journaling spree: Wrote pages and pages in my journal, exploring all my feelings (the good, the bad, and the ugly).
This felt amazing. Like I was recharging my batteries. It was a total contrast to the social butterfly experiment, but equally important.
The Takeaway: Balance is Key (Duh, Libra!)
So, what did I learn? It’s not about choosing one over the other. It’s about finding a balance. I can be charming and social when I need to be, thanks to my Libra rising. It helps me connect with people and navigate social situations. But I also need to honor my Scorpio side – that intensity, that need for depth, that desire to go deep.
It’s like, I can use my Libra rising to open doors, but my Scorpio energy is what I bring to the table once I’m inside. It is kind of a superpower, really. I can be both the life of the party and the mysterious one in the corner. And that’s pretty cool.
I am still figuring this all out, of course. But consciously playing with these energies has made me way more aware of how I interact with the world. And it’s been a fun ride so far!
