Libra has a certain reputation in the world of astrology and, along with it, Libra midheaven. Libras are known for being indecisive and having trouble making up their minds. In this article, I’d like to expand on the Libra midheaven as a placement and offer a different narrative about what makes Libra just so Libra.
Libra is the sign of the scales. There’s that constant weighing motion that Libra does, never fully settled in one place but always weighing and judging to see what needs to adapt before moving forward. A Libra midheaven, a vision of the future that is nurtured by constant analysis, is always judging the situation and thinking about what life could be like if one were elsewhere.
However, Libra’s analytical mind doesn’t make them indecisive at all. If a Libra midheaven talks constantly of changing their entire career, then you can be sure to bet that they just might stay exactly where they are for another five years. If a Libra midheaven obsesses over what their future would be like if they were with someone else, you can be sure to bet that they will stick by their current partner for another ten years.
The Libra midheaven makes decisions with their actions. Their mind can be elsewhere.
I think that the reason why Libra has the reputation of being indecisive is because they have a smiley quality that makes people think that they are in agreement with them for some reason. However, Libra is not. In fact, Libra is one of the most contrarian zodiac signs to ever exist.
Put too much pressure on one side of Libra’s scales and they are sure to exert effort in the opposite direction. Put too much pressure on a Libra and they are sure to either tell you off or ignore you completely. Try and persuade a Libra of something. They will resist. Try and convince them of a plan that you have concocted for them. They will tell you to go fuck yourself.
A lot of people who expect Libra to make decisions the way they want them to will be surprised. Those people tend to think that Libra is indecisive. In fact, Libra is simply not making decisions the way you want them to and they also don’t always feel the need to let you know.
Apply that to Libra midheaven. The midheaven is the way you create a future, a way forward, a plan of action. It’s your ambition and your willingness to shape the world that you are a part of.
Yes, the Libra midheaven is super resistant to any and all pressure. If you tell them to hurry up and get going, then they will slow down on purpose. If you tell them that they need to be more critical, then they will become more accepting. The Libra midheaven is a person who will always question every single one of your suggestions and impositions.
Adaptive? Sure. But not through passive agreement. Libra midheaven is looking around to gauge the general direction and course correcting through their own resistance. That’s the essence of cooperation: helpful disagreement, not rule by popularity.
I think that Libra midheaven can be a bit hard to make out because they don’t always make their priorities known. The Libra midheaven tend to resist approaching anything from a perspective that is too personal. They will ask you what you think first and for you to catch them up to what everyone else is thinking. Then, once all of the opinions are clear and the context is made, Libra midheaven will stage of plan of action. They feel the need to take everyone’s position into account because, otherwise, they literally can’t imagine what we could possibly do together.
Libra midheavens usually make suggestions that make sense in the context of a certain moment. Taken out of context, a lot of their suggestions look bananas.
Usually, the Libra midheaven is not one who is open to public scrutiny. They despise personal visibility, feeling that notoriety is a personal risk that, in a fair collective, should be shared with other people. The Libra midheaven is someone who prefers to work under the radar, the one who lasts the longest at a workplace or an organization simply because they stay quiet and speak when it matters. The Libra midheaven is one of the most influential people you know but you will never guess it.
I think that a good example of Libra midheaven, and I’m reluctant to cite this person as an example, is Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris is very famous. Martial arts fans love Chuck Norris and he has never come under fire for anything. He is known mostly among the millennial generation as the guy who fought Bruce Lee and a silly meme.
One would never guess that Chuck Norris one of the biggest voices in the Obama birther conspiracy, one of the loudest Hollywood voices in opposing gay marriage, and a huge funder for far-right movements and politicians. Why would we know any of this? Chuck Norris is just a silly meme and a man who is always smiling. That’s how we see him.
Anyway, obviously, not all Libra midheavens are right wing. I’m just using Chuck Norris as an example of someone who is in the public eye but, somehow, is able to just fly under the radar even with his own fanbase. I want to point out that the Libra midheaven is going to be someone who you don’t scrutinize, who you might not even notice that much, but someone who can be incredibly influential.
And that Libra midheaven? They like to keep their own mind under wraps. They don’t tell you everything. That’s why, when a Libra midheaven makes up their mind, they have this way of shocking everyone around them. You thought that Libra midheaven was in complete agreement with you. Based on what? Based on a nice smile and dimples.
Nope. Libra midheaven has a strong mind of their own. Forget that and they will catch you out of the blue.
Careers suitable for Libra midheaven people: figure skater, debate coach, football coach, truck driver, dancer, or any job where you have to change your mind at a moment’s notice.
