Libra energy has been going through the wringer for the last few weeks, months if I'm being honest. However, things are about to change for the better. A lot of you might already know that the end is near, you're in the storm but you can see the clearing just ahead. You've been patient, you've endured, you're tired, you're barely holding it together. I didn't make that post to wish badly on you, in fact I wanted you to be prepared.

I had not one, but two crash outs back to back right as the shadow period of the retrograde began. It was awful, but it was also unavoidable and necessary even. It resulted in boundaries being established, ones that should have been established long ago, but nevertheless have been made clear now. Yes the aftermath was uncomfortable, but I finally let go. Your body is not meant to hold onto so much discomfort. I know why you do it, I know why you choose peace over conflict, but the tension that ends up building is an infection that your body desperately tries to flush out again, and again, and again. You are strong, you are enduring, you have kept it together for so long, but now is the time to release it and let go.

Mayhaps a crash out is not the way to go about it, although that's usually the way it ends up happening for a lot of us. Do not be afraid. Do not be ashamed. My post was not about fear mongering, but about awareness. A big change is coming. The scales have been tipped. It has already started for some of you. Libra energy is on the rise, it desperately craves the balance it has been missing. Good things are coming to balance out the bad, be on the lookout for opportunities. Accept them. This is the time to put yourself first. You have prioritized the other for a long time. The priority now is you. You are not selfish, you are being rewarded for being selfless. Accept it, don't be shy.

It's time to have that conversation now, ahead of the crash out. It's time to speak your truth, and set things right. But if it does manifest as a crash out for you...do not be ashamed. Know that your body is releasing a lot of negativity it doesn't want. Let go. LET GO.

Everyone's talking about water signs and Mercury rulers (Gemini & Virgo) this Retrograde Summer... but I just have a hunch that y'all have been teetering on the edge of a full on psychological collapse, one that's been in the making for quite some time now.

Be strong Libra and good luck everyone else. You're about to find out...😬

I don't want to go into all the details because it's just too much trauma to unload at this time, but my Virgo mom and I have been arguing back and forth since May. I'm not good enough for her, I never have and never will be. A year ago she had a stroke, which left her with limited mobility and unable to work. I moved back home, have been paying her rent, her bills, even some of her debts. I thought I was doing the right thing, I thought she would be proud of me, maybe even grateful. And the funny thing is, I'm not sure why I ever entertained that idea in the first place, knowing the type of person she is.

​

To give you an idea, in 2019 I was involved in a car wreck that left me with minor injuries. Typically people will ask you if you're ok, if you're hurt, where are you? My mother? The first thing she said when I told her was, "Good, I'm really happy that happened to you." Knowing all this, it's still crazy to think that I left everything behind to move in with her, because I didn't think I'd be able to live with myself knowing I could have done something to help, but chose not to. Do I regret it now? No. I think I will always know that I tried my best, and I guess my best will just never be good enough for her. Virgos, am I right?

​

But I'm going off topic. I guess the point is, I'm here now. You see in May, my mom started ignoring me after a really bad argument over some chicken, of all things. She ignored me until the last week of May, when she told me she had sold the house and that I had 2 weeks to move out. Pretty shitty if you ask me, that's really not a lot of time at all. But I'm here now. I had to move my stuff into a storage unit, and sleep on my friend's couch for a week, but I'm here now. I found a place, my mom is out of my life again, and I think this time for good.

​

This is supposed to be a new start for me. A new chapter, I want it to be a good one. So as I bring boxes into my new place, and watch this orange cat run past my yard with a bird in it's mouth, flapping desperately to get free. As I pull it from it's mouth, hold it in my hands and watch it jerk and bleed, as I try to do something to save it but have no idea what to do. I stroke the back of it's head and tell it that it's going to be ok, and I feel myself tearing up because I don't know what to do. And I just stand there until it stops moving, and then it's gone.

​

I buried it just now. I finished unpacking some more stuff, and now I'm in my car typing this, and I can't help but feel like this is a bad omen somehow. I texted my friends about it, my ex says it's just nature, and not to read into it. But I don't know, there's just something about it that I can't explain, that I feel is symbolic somehow.

​

I know this post might be so out of left field for a sub like this, but Libra...I need to know. Do you agree? Is this a bad omen?

Fuck the fact that I already wasted my time washing up. Making someone drive out to you just to ghost the minute they're in your parking lot/drive way with these gas prices? Oh, no, no, no, no, no baby, you got me fucked up. You're lucky I have enough sanity and respect for your neighbors that I'm not banging at your door shouting at you to open the fuck up like I'm part of a SWAT raid.

If you change your mind, just fucking say that BEFORE you send someone an adress and ask them your ETA and all that bullshit. Bitch next time I'm bringing a hose and I'm siphoning at least a whole gallon from your car and even putting sugar in it afterwards, mother fucker!

I'm creating this poll out of curiosity. I have a feeling Libras fall into one of two categories. We are all very romantic people, and when it comes to the bedroom, some want that same romantic energy, think scented candles and roses, sweet music, lots of kissing and touching, sensual and passionate love making, slow and erotic but romantic.

On the other hand, some want their partner to be a romantic who is a freak in the sheets, maybe they're very dominant or submissive, maybe they're into BDSM, either soft or hard-core, they want give into lust, be freaky, animalistic, they want you to slap, choke, pull their hair, that sort of vibe.

I could also be completely wrong, so please set me straight in the comments if neither of these two describes what you like. Interested to see what the poll results show. I decided to divide both options into male and female categories, feel free to choose the one that best describes you, or other if it doesn't.

I see so many comments about Fire and Air signs being crazy or unhinged and I genuinely want to know what about Libra makes them "unhinged." Gemini I can sort of see because they're a little scatter brained, but in reality they're just fast thinkers and people can't keep up so it makes them seem like they have insane ADHD but I get it, they're just quick. Aquarius...well they do their thing. But Libra? I feel like we're so grounded and sane, but I see so many people talk about crazy Libras, so tell me, what do we do that is crazy?

I see a lot of Tiktoks where Libras fall amongst Taurus and Leos as some of the most high maintenance signs, and I'm wondering if that's really true.

As a male I don't really see it. All I do is shower with shampoo and conditioner (no 3 in 1), and then use some face wash, and body wash but that's it.

And then I'll brush my teeth and floss and brush again and use whitening products but that's it.

And then I'll trim my beard and pluck my eyebrows and use a little gel/pommade in my hair but that's it.

And then I'll apply some serum and foundation, a little contour and some highlights, and some powder, just very minimal all natural look but that's it.

And then some cologne and an all black 2 piece top and shorts set with some gold accessories, and sunglasses, and some white shoes and some more chapstick and just a final glance at the mirror before heading out but that's it!

I'm just getting groceries but still. I feel like my routine is very basic, right?

Is anyone renting a room or know anyone who is looking for a roommate?

I'm 31 M, chill and laid back personality. I have 1 cat, she is an outdoor/indoor cat, low maintenance. I'm gay so LGBT friendly would be great. I work long hours and go out a lot so I wouldn't be home all that much, but when I am I just sort of keep to myself. Clean record, no drugs, no charges.

If you are looking for a roommate or know someone that is, can you reach out to me in my DMs please so we can talk? Thank you!

The ones who have negative UPT. The ones who shark for VTO. The ones who have rates as low as your credit scores.

It's because of you that I'm a "top performer" simply by making the minimum rate. It's because of you I'm "reliable" just because I work my whole shift. It's because you're always gone that I can always rely on OT openings when I need to make some extra cash.

Thank you for dropping the bar so low that just barely doing the bare minimum makes me a "star." Thank you for your service!

I'm 31, and I've been in two long term relationships (10 years and 6 years) since I was 14. I was single for 6 months between the two, and I chose to end my 2nd relationships at the end of last year, so I've only been single for a few months now. As an early 30s millennial, I feel I look my age, but people often tell me I pass for mid to late 20s...which sure I'll take it, but the only reason I bring that up ties into my next point.

I didn't do the slut thing in my 20s like everyone else did. I feel like I missed out on so many sexual experiences that a lot of gays did in their "peak bottom days." I'm vers, but I'm very aware that being a bottom becomes more challenging the older you get since younger bottoms are always preferred by most people. In a way, I feel like I'm running out of time in that regard. But here's the thing that makes me feel like I'm in a weird spot...

The guys my age all seem to have done the slut thing in their 20s, and are ready to settle down now in their 30s. Most guys I'm interested in don't work out because they don't want to do the hookup thing anymore, they're over it. The ones I have slept with eventually catch feelings and things fall apart when I'm honest and tell them that I'm just not ready commit to anyone right now. I can't tell you how many people have told me that "the slut phase isn't worth it," and yet these are the same people who always talk fondly about all the sexual things they used to do all the time.

Just feels like I'm in a weird spot being single by choice in my 30s, while everyone else acts kinda desperate to settle down. Anyways, that's all.

Are the planets in Gatorade again? No but really, can someone knowledgeable tell me what's up? Extreme negative energy since the start of May.

I met a guy at the bar on Monday. He's an amazing person, works helping homeless youth, is extremely charismatic, gorgeous smile, lit up the room. We talked a lot, he gave me his number, we have been sending paragraphs lol.

I don't think he's interested in more than just being friendly though, but I'm not sure. I've been obsessing the last few days. Is this what we do to people? If so...oof I feel kinda bad. Feels like a drug and I'm hooked.
